This is an amazing film. I love it, love the special effects, the brain warping, social commentary, everything. It's a bit of a hollywood formula even though it's got that indie appeal but it's ok, it's a love letter to everyone frustrated with corporate america, or anywhere that makes you conform for dumb reasons. Have fun, watch this and just remember you might be someone you never thought you could be.

49mm fits a7iii 50mm and 28mm perfectly and snug

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wondered, how do you check if this or any cap fits? Is it specially formatted as sony always does? nope. Check the screw filter size, on both the 50mm 1.4ef and the 28mm 2.0ef they are both interchangeable and 49mm. I lost my cap riding through a hurricane flood filming with a stabilizer, so that's lost I thought. Best buy had this on clearance, $2 vs $12-15 plus tax on amazon etc for the "real" one. No thanks, this is perfect. It fits tightly and well, nothing cheap interestingly about it.

Store your files safely on this 240GB PNY solid-state drive. It achieves write speeds of 500MB/sec. and read speeds of 535MB/sec., providing transfer rates faster than traditional hard drives. The lack of moving parts on this PNY solid-state drive reduces its chance of failure.

A $25 plus tax ssd at this time. My laptop drive slipped out a few times without it's hd cover and shorted, I thought, oh great, $. Nope. This was awesome, lightweight, medium height case so it can handle heat while operating. It isn't that warm after hours of use anyway but it's a nice touch.

Beautiful film, 3 formats, great audio - video

This film is simply amazing, he's not a hero, more of a lost soul in this. You can feel everything Arthur is going through, you don't really need to cheer him away from things until it really unravels. The music, acting, cinematography all so gritty in this sort of slumped burning ember of gotham feels real. There's no escape and all angles are hyped to 110%. I would certainly tell you to take the joker for a spin, and the 4k is incredible, hd is there to and a digital multiformat online (for now).

simply the best hand held mouse I have ever used
on September 1, 2019
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have tried many mice, and at $12.99 on sale and even $19.99 brick and mortar not on sale, the M325 is the best mouse I have used for years. Perfect for my hands, big, also for my girlfriend's, much smaller. The battery lasts a very long time and connectivity isn't a problem. Also, it has the unifying usb plug so you can use it with multiple devices that are unifying as well. The colors, so many, that's about it, I buy it for everyone.

Work out to the beat with these Skullcandy Method headphones.

These Skullcandy Method headphones come with round earpiece covers that fit into the ear to block out external sound.

great sound, ok battery life, strange connections

Verified Purchase:Yes
So I bought these with best buy $10 best buy rewards, amazon price matching, and it was $59 down to $45 down to $42.99 with another $10 off, $32.99 + tax. Not bad at all.
The quality of the bluetooth connection on my ZTE is amazing with them, samsung S5, not very good at all depending on the direction and angle of the phone. Different bluetooth, legacy vs more modern (2018-9)?
The sound is very good on my bicycle, I can hear the wind if I would like, some street sounds, but cars, nope, lower sounds cut out, be safe when you ride. Loudness is good, base is good and as written, noise cancellation in lower ranges is very good. Comfort is a given with the design, earplugs feel great, the controls are wonky but they work and then feel pretty good.
The battery life is so so. Maybe 6~ hours or more at a high level of volume, not really 8-9 hours. I have the big 15~ hour skullcandy headphones, 2 pairs and they last forever. Charge time is pretty good on these as listed, the new ones.
The wire protector design is pretty nice, but I haven't bothered using it yet and taking an ear out to hear both the environment and the music makes it sound not too great but is very safe when you need a quick review of your surroundings and your hands are a bit busy.
Very very lightweight! :) Overall 5/5 but a few points off for things listed, so 4.5/5

Watch this just in awe that so many people are real Amy Schumer characters. Yes, it is more of Idiocracy in a love story. And you see the SNL great hiding behind her lunacy in the box cover. You can't imagine how versatile he can be until he has to deal with the dumpster fire that is Amy in this comedy. Totally fun.

Yes, these veteran actors are fools with very funny moments in here. Ilsa Fischer also adds to the spice in it, literally, but she's a nutcase. Literally. You cannot laugh less than 50% of the time, and usually in movies that's a win. Owen Wilson is not just Zoolander's best enemy, best friend, watch him here and see his great beautiful weirdness come to life.

These maniacs are driven by some great writing and improv, you hardly remember you're not there inside the film itself. The things that zack does are just horrifyingly silly. Glorifying madness at times seems like... never mind just watch it and laugh on a rainy day. Any day!

there is something amazing about this story, the writing, the acting, the world itself. blu ray has been kind to it and that's great for a nearly 50 year old film. It feels like it was made today, you can't go wrong for such a low price on a classic yet new film.

Wouldn't Turn on and had wrong Graphics Card
By CharlesB
This is pretty much my first review ever, but the experience has been such a nightmare that I thought I'd comment. First off, when I received my pc it would not power on, I enjoy gaming, but when it comes to the hardware I'm fairly clueless. But even with my minimal experience and expertise I was able to notice that the Graphics Card clearly says "GTX" when the specs say it comes with an RTX 4070ti. So at that point I contacted customer service where I was advised that I can take it to the store for an exchange. I will give this a try, and if I can get a working copy with the proper components, I'll update my review. For now, I can't say anything good about the PC itself though. It's a shame, as I usually like MSI products.

someone in the chain stole the 4070ti
December 29, 2023
The 4070 ti was without a doubt taken by someone in the factory (unless the plastic wrap was perfect) or at best buy, a customer who bought it and then put an old gtx in it claiming it didn't work. that could be the op here as well. If I were BB I would cross reference the GTX and see who the serial number is registered to for the card in this new gaming pc.

The UHD 4K VA monitor that does it all. At 31.5" and 16:9 screen ratio, LG's UltraFine Monitor with UHD (3840 x 2160) VA display features great color with DCI-P3 90% Color Gamut, , contrast, clarity, detail and responsiveness. It shines as a productivity powerhouse, delivering a flexible workstation experience and easy setup, yet amplifies gaming with cutting-edge features and elevates entertainment with HDR10 and built-in MAXXAUDIO stereo speakers.
 

Does this monitor have 10 bit color?

No, what it has is 8-bit FRC, so it flickers 2 colors on a pixel RGB (BGR) location to emulate 10-bit. 10-bit data can go to it, but the "HDR" is dull, washed out, and if you push it to "look" like a more IPS or 8-bit contrast and color punch, it will just lose some grey levels, color differences. It's fake 10-bit and not what they advertise at all.

https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/b99220f4

Also the screen on most of these delaminatese over a few months meaning there is a slight 5-10% glow around the entire screen and they're aware of this, that is why best buy sold so many "refurbished" or "open box". They sold defective monitors to tens of thousands of people (this and other 32" models).

Find a reliable storage solution for large files with this WD easystore external desktop hard drive. The USB 3.0 interface and backward-compatibility with USB 2.0 offer broad connectivity, while the automatic backup solution reduces the risk of data loss. This WD easystore external desktop hard drive features a 8TB capacity to provide ample space for videos and photos.
 

Does the model WDBAMA0080H have a 8 G storeage capacity ?

All of them format to TB, not G(GB?), so when you get a plot of land 100x100 feet, a fence installed to hold various farm animals, say files, takes up space, 1x100 on all sides, so you lose a bit of space. This formats to about 7.68Tb after formatting with NTFS, similar with exFAT and HFS+ for OS X. Learn about this on youtube, search for "why do hard drives format smaller"...

Will this work with a Windows 7 machine or with a Windows XP that doesn't go online?

Windows 7, sure. You might need to an x64 system in win7 not x86 to read 7.68tb (8tb formatted).
Win XP, nope. But if you want to do something like back data up, you can network the XP and Win7 system to your network router or a $10-20 unmanaged 4-8 port switch.
Then you can keep the drive on the x64 win7 machine and use network sharing from the XP system to the win & system.
make a user named test, ps 1234, etc, on both machines. log in to both. make sure each system is on a domain(network) named, WORKGROUP as it usually is.
Share the new 8tb drive as say x y or z as it's letter. plug in the drive into the win7 x64 system, right click my computer, manage. right click the usb drive and change drive letter to one of those last unused letters.then in the options allow read and write to it.
sometimes in networking you have to tweak a bit for XP to be able to talk to win8,8.1, or 10, but 7 x64 is easy with xp.

either do all of that, or just buy a 256gb usb3 key on sale and move data like that.

Can you partition this drive into 2/4tb? I want to use 4 for a Mac and 4 for a PC.

If you would like to share data, you could partition it so one partition is NTFS and the other HFS+, but...
Just use software for either platform to read AND write data for HFS+ (windows) and Paragon NTFS (os x)
If you're jumping around multiple stations, and getting that software for all of them is too expensive, just format the drive into two partitions with the eXFAT file system.
Both operating systems can read and write to it.
Read online how to do that for each OS.

What if I wanted to back up my entire WD easystore drive to another external hard drive? Can I do that? Is there any other personal cloud storage device that can do this? I don’t want cloud Internet backup, I would like external hard drive backup.

plug in both drives to the same computer with usb3 ports, not usb2.
open your OS file exploring app, explorer in windows, finder in os x.
select all in one drive and COPY
PASTE into the new drive.
watch a movie or two. keep these ventilated while doing this process.

Do the wires hang or are they retractable?

Look at a youtube video to help you see the design itself. The edge of the neckband that on one side has vol + power and the battery and charge port on the other. there is a groove and you can slip the headphone cords back into the neck across the length with your thumb as you slide it manually across the curved shape.
