This is the third iPad I have purchased and they continue to be solid performing products. I feel that innovation has been blunted by wokeness and conformity at Apple and a lot of other big tech enterprises so we don't see eye-popping new features, but there are incremental advances and the underlying tech is what we have come to rely on. The first device I bought was added to my phone service and had the convenience of free-standing access to the internet when my wife and I traveled, but that feature is really passé to me since we have reliable phones that act as hotspots. We are not affluent and so saving a few bucks and spending our money on high-speed wi-fi access at home so the iPad can perform well there makes more sense. The device itself is marginally thinner and lighter than the previous iteration and has good color and contrast and has given no issues to deal with since it was purchased. Solid performance, reliable and capable as a device at this price point had better be.

Excellent keyboard. No way to tell that it is a refurb. Nice and completely functional and the colors are pleasing, the keys feel really comfortable and quality and the programmable keys work as advertised. Great price too on one of the daily deals. It's pretty sweet to put your passwords on a function key and tap a key to login. Thanks for the good deal.

Useful but

Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I didn't really know what this was when I ordered it in a bundle so it might not be fair to be too critical in a review, but this thing doesn't give enough contact with the soap to get sufficient lather for me. It seems well made and has a rough texture on one side and a smoother texture on the other and certainly keeps you soap captured and securely off the ground. This might be quite handy to take on trips to the campground when you want more security on your bar of soap to keep it free of grit or grime though. I must say I am a fan of Duke Cannon products and enjoy it when I can catch them "on the cheap" like in a Deal of the Day on Best Buy. So to recap, I am ambivalent about this product which is an unnecessarily fancy way of saying I have mixed feelings; it works fine for what it is I just don't need what it does unless I go camping.

Good coffee
on April 2, 2021
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
So my wife and I have owned a series of Keurigs for several years now. We usually replace one when it develops little niggling habits like inconsistent output quantities or not "reading" the k-cup label and claiming it is not a recognized k-cup or some such. The latest brewer we had was a super deluxe model with the big LED screen and the nite-light for the water reservoir and the complete array of great features but it developed one big problem, it wouldn't get hot enough. I could deal with having to rotate the k-cup to get it to recognize it as legit and I could deal with the top not staying up anymore and having to hold it open with one hand and inserting the k-cup with the other, but having to nuke a brand new cup of coffee was just too much. So enter this new brewer and I am happy again. It is set at max temp (just like the last one) and it gets good and hot. The bad, the reservoir isn't quite as big, The reservoir doesn't have a hinged lid so it can be filled without being removed. The front of the reservoir is opaque so you can't see the water level. There isn't a big LED screen for info. But really, I just want a consistent cup of coffee that is piping hot and brews without a hassle. Mission accomplished. I would recommend this if you have the same requirements as me, easy to use and good and hot.

Get One (for life)

Verified Purchase:Yes
The best screen protection ever hands down IMHO. I bought one for me and my wife for our iphone 11 Pro Max phones and also my grand-daughter's 8 plus and they have been fabulous. Mine has lasted fine for a couple of years and my wife's has been replaced several times. But buy once and you are set for the life of that phone. What could be better. A few dollars more in the beginning, but you walk in Best Buy with one that is crunched up and they slap a new one on for you. I recommend everyone gets one. The are easy to apply if you DIY and they function flawlessly for ease of touch and staying put with no bubbles. I can't say enough about a product like this that has guaranteed replacement.

Champion aroma

Verified Purchase:Yes
Maybe the best smelling beard oil I have tried. The smell is paramount to me with any beard oil/balm because it is right there under your nose all day. This oil helps to soften and smooth my rather coarse and scratchy beard and has an orange and smoky musk smell that I can enjoy all day long. It took some time to find the best way to apply it since it is a solid waxy substance, but if you push out a small lump with a finger and rub it vigorously into the opposing palm it just turns to oil and you can smear it into your beard. I have three tins of this stuff because you never know when things get hard to find. I really like it.

Reliable workhorse
on December 23, 2020
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have owned a short series of Brother printers. The first was a printer only and the rest have been multi-function units. After a couple decades as an IT tech supporting many brands of printer I have an idea of what to look for and Brother has the right attributes; they are reliable, consistent, and all the ones I have dealt with, not prone to mechanical glitches or design flaws. Almost all other brands tend to develop paper path glitches where they double feed paper or fail to feed paper from the trays because of worn rollers or badly calibrated feed components. My first b/w Brother printer was years old when I got it and I wore it out for more years with no issues. The one caveat with all printers is to try and stick with OEM print cartridges; you will pay a premium for toner (try Sam's Club) but save so much anguish and trouble. I vowed never to buy another ink printer again. They have limited efficacy for an office, but for home use are worse than worthless. Toner will print fine after months of inactivity, something wet ink will NEVER do. Storing ink cartridges for future use is a fool's errand because half will be spent on getting it flowing and calibrated anyway. Think of throwing a cheap ballpoint in a drawer and trying to get the ink flowing after a few months, not good. Anyway, the Brother units I have don't exhibit network glitches or interface frustrations or super complicated access to functions like copying or scanning. Don't know about faxing much, but who does that anyway? I highly recommend this printer and this brand of printer.

Good product
on December 5, 2020
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good product, but not the Holy Grail option I am still looking for. I like all the Duke Cannon products I have tried. I think they are good quality and pretty good value. I don't like the plastic limiter on the bottle because it won't really allow anything to come out. I just took it out so I can pour what I want in my hand. The bottle is small of course, but the oil works well and the smell (the most important feature) is pretty good. I have tried almost a dozen options of oils and haven't found the perfect one for me but this one is good.

Very effective
on December 5, 2020
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Way better than expected. My wife felt the same way. I was skeptical that these would be any help, but raking is SO unpleasant and I hoped to skip some with these. My wife tried first and was more shocked than pleasantly surprised by their efficacy. I was encouraged by her report and couldn't wait to see for myself. The beauty is that they can rake the leaves into a clean pile and not leave a single leaf out on a stroke. It is kind of like magic because they don't "feel" like they would be that effective, but when you reach out and drag them back the area you raked is clean. They can pick up a huge amount and dump them in the wheelbarrow. The only frustration is that leaves don't pack well and these ARE NOT useful for packing down leaves. I cracked one by pushing way too hard. I am already searching for replacements that I will be more responsible with. I advise getting some and using them responsibly.

The CM1000 Ultra-High Speed Cable Modem, with speeds up to 1Gbps and DOCSIS 3.1 is 10X faster than DOCSIS 3.0 devices. It's backward compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 and ready for future service plan upgrades for XFINITY from Comcast, Cox, and Spectrum. A Gigabit Ethernet port provides faster access and downloads.
 

If I buy this modem, do I need to buy the router to use the internet?

Yes. There are other devices that are combined modem/router, but this is only a modem and will not service multiple devices. You could plug one computer into this modem with a cord, but no wi-fi and no other devices.

My new pc the BB952 came with 2 antennas and I don’t know where to put it .

These screw onto the card that sticks out of the back of the computer (it is a wireless device that plugs into the motherboard inside) to allow you to connect to your wireless network more easily. These are the wireless network antennas and they just screw in and rotate to the optimum position to receive a signal.

How do you change the lights on the computer?

Go to the ASRock Utility on the Start Menu and select the ASRRGBLED option and it will open a utility that allows you lots of options.

I bought this computer on Christmas and I tried to change the lighting on it using the application, but instead of changing the color it says," Smart lighting not detected." If anyone knows a way to fix this that would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, that is the wrong utility. The MSI Lighting doesn't work. Use the ASRock~ASRRGBLED Utility from your Start Menu and you will be more pleased.

does this model have a way to change lighting?

Yes, it does. The Techs at Best Buy said they used to come with a remote control for lighting, but that wasn't the way it was with mine. Go to the Programs button on your Start Menu and select the ASRock Utility option and open the ASRRGBLED utility and voila! you will be able to select different lighting options. I set mine to cycle through the colors slowly and have liked the effect pretty much. Hope you find this before you give up.
