One of my favorite games for years was on Playstation and now it has been recreated for the PS4! Been a long time, but it is as I remember it — bad puns and all... :D

Looks good on wall

I wasn’t enamored with my Geek Squad installation, but the speaker is nice. A bit weak and in the low-mids for a Center Channel, imo, but otherwise good sound. You can see a bit through the white cover which makes the surface look “dirty” around the speakers, however, so I deducted a star for that.

Get the party started with this SVS SB-1000 subwoofer. The high-performance 12-inch driver provides powerful bass, while dynamic processing produces smooth sound across the bass frequency range for maximum impact from music and movies. A compact 13-inch cabinet lets you hide this SVS SB-1000 subwoofer away for easy layout management.

Nice sub

A bit too glossy (I would have preferred a white satin finish) but bass response is great and easily fills a large room. I still need to tweak some of my receiver settings but this is paired up with Kef T-series surround speakers and it adds a nice whomp to movie effects. Recommended.

Very vintage, very cool!

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a child of the 80s, I bought this boombox for a portable way to be able to rip my old cassettes to MP3s. While I haven’t had a chance to do that yet, here are a few other comments: overall its build quality is good (reminds me a lot of the Emerson that I had as a kid), however the toggle selector switches on the right do seem very cheap and could break easily. The sound quality is okay (NOT as good as the Emerson that I had).

Reasonable, but not as powerful as powered

I bought this on a Deal of the Day, so for what I paid, it is worth it. The antenna is small and pulls in about 4-5 channels without too much digital noise, however I'll be upgrading to a powered antenna for a bit more $$.

Being able to extend signal capture outside of the entertainment center is why I purchased this product. I have not had a chance to hook it up yet, however, but shipping was prompt.

Nice little laptop
on January 3, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice size and screen. Outside shell is not as robust as I would have liked. It is very hard to find a case that fits it, so my wife bought a “sleeve” for it. The viewing angle is not as optimal as my MacBook Pro, but my wife loves its touchscreen and uses it for bill paying, web surfing and email. Bought it on sale for $249. Pretty good deal. :)

Still a bit on the pricey side even on sale, but bought it for my son for Christmas. It is nicely made, about the size of credit card but much thicker. My son loves it and uses it to back-up his Macbook laptop.

The WORX WG430 Leaf Mulcher is the all-in-one solution to an annual problem: piles and piles of leaves in the yard. It smartly disposes of heaps of leafy yard waste in a few simple steps, turning hundreds of gallons of rotting leaves into vitamin-rich, organic mulch that's a perfect fertilizer for your flowerbed or garden. The WORX Flex-a-Line bladeless mulching system uses normal, heavy-duty grass trimmer line instead of dangerous metal blades to easily and safely mulch through leaves and debris.
AirTag. Keep track of your keys, wallet, luggage, backpack, and more, all in the Find My app. Play a sound on the built-in speaker, or say "Hey Siri, find my gym bag." With select iPhone models, Precision Finding can lead you right to your nearby AirTag.1 If it's further away, hundreds of millions of Apple devices in the Find My network can help track it down. All anonymously and encrypted for privacy.
If I put apple tag in my car, the car is stolen. The thief has an iPhone, so the tag tells the thief the car is tagged so they can find it and remove??
It will “chime” when in proximity to another iPhone, however, it is not really loud. This is how Apple is currently avoiding privacy concerns (eg tracking your cheating partner by slipping it into their jacket pocket). If you hide it good enough your thief may not be able to find it easily in the car, allowing you to track the item longer. Take note that nothing is sure-fire security and can be defeated one way or another. This is certainly an inexpensive way to track anything of value, but you are always dependent upon other people’s iPhones for this to work effectively.

Meet ibi~, the smart photo manager that collects all of your favorite photos and videos from your phone, computer, USB drives and popular cloud and social media accounts in one place at home. ibi lets you privately share individual photos or entire albums from vacations, birthday parties, weddings and more with only those you choose.
Can I save music files ?
Yes, firmware version 7.14.0-130 should support storing AND playing music files stored on your ibi. However, it and its software is really intended to be used for photo and videos:

Can I play photos to a monitor from this device?
Not directly to a computer monitor, no. I would suggest referencing the ibi "Do More" area to see additional information available for using the SanDisk ibi apps written for AppleTV, Fire TV and Roku to play images directly to your television. Screenshot below is from the iOS app.

Has anyone used this to plug into a desktop computer to download a photo without using the application? I want to know if it can function like an external hard drive if needed without WiFi to take the photos out individually or per album, Etc.
According to the SanDisk Support site: no, you cannot connect an ibi for direct access to a PC or Mac. From my research, there seems to be no workaround, hack or jailbreak to allow this either -- you must rely solely on the SanDisk servers (using their desktop, web or mobile software) as an "intermediary" between a devices and the ibi. WiFi access is a must.

In case Ibi crashes, is there a way to save photos on Ibi to a secondary back up device?

Can you back up things other than photos and videos on here?
Yes -- using the desktop ibi app, you can mount the ibi to your desktop and upload and download files just as you would to an internal or an attached drive. Those files are then accessible via the Mobile App as well (click the "hamburger menu" (three stacked lines) in the upper left corner, then click "Files & folders").

What about network security? What security protocols does this have?
According to the SanDisk Support website ( https://ibisupport.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/21216 ):
-- ibi uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and industry standard encryption for all data connections and file transfers
-- ibi does not store any private data or content on SanDisk servers
-- Your content is stored only locally on the physical ibi device
-- No one at SanDisk has access to your ibi content
-- ibi uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and industry standard encryption for all data connections and file transfers
-- ibi does not store any private data or content on SanDisk servers
-- Your content is stored only locally on the physical ibi device
-- No one at SanDisk has access to your ibi content

Does Ibi need to stay plugged in after I transfer photos?
No, but it does not have a battery, so its power plug (wall-wart type) must be plugged into the wall for the device to function (backing up, accessing files, etc). Note that there is NOT an on/off switch so if using the ibi app's "Shut down ibi" command, you must first unplug the ibi and then plug it back in order for it to boot back up.
