do not buy this light, buggy bad charger and $$$

Verified Purchase:Yes
this light is junk, the 2 adjusters on it are a pain and the charge lasts almost maybe 10 minutes of use. max 15. it can be coupled with much more expensive super heavy sony batteries for longer use and plugged in but it isn't worth it. it overheats, the light is too bright at times for any dslr direct use, and other problems plague it. the led screen can be damaged easily. extremely over priced, you can get light panels at B&H for 1/3rd the cost, even a panel, tripod and box for light distribution at about $80-100.

great mouse and easy to type on keyboard

there was almost no setup in windows 10, it was certainly as easy as any logitech unified system they sell. always make sure the orange asterisk is ON the box and on the receiver so you know it's unified. they will try to flim flam you on sales without a unified version at times.

excellent transfer, creative storyline

Verified Purchase:Yes
I felt like the trailer didn't really express what the storyline or ending had in mind, but I really enjoyed the lead actress in this piece. I also thought the special effects were well weighted and not too much or too little. If you enjoy X-Men and other films similar to Firestarter, you will enjoy this, and cannot beat it at the price.

excellent film, great transfer

I watched this with a lot of expectations it being my first 4k video. I put it into my XBOX ONE X and voila! It worked like a charm, no jittering or playback issues. The content was flawless.
The story line from 2000 feels like it was shot today in 2018. Honestly, there is so much to love about the kinetics, acting and story line in this. If you enjoy period pieces and the lead actors, the price is a bargain, I got it on sale so it was immensely worthwhile to me as an actor and viewer.

MSI Aegis RS Desktop: Get in the game with this MSI Aegis RS gaming desktop. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card makes visually intensive games come to life in exquisite detail, and the 1TB SSD loads large titles in seconds. This MSI Aegis RS gaming desktop has an Intel Core i7 13th gen processor and 32GB of RAM that easily handle multiple applications simultaneously.

1 out of 5Wouldn'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.

kristoffe's Questions
kristoffe has not submitted any questions.
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.

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.

Work out to the beat with these Skullcandy Method headphones. The sweat-resistant design prevents them from slipping off when things heat up, and the flexible collar has built-in controls that are easy to locate and use. These Skullcandy Method headphones come with round earpiece covers that fit into the ear to block out external sound.
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.
