A very inexpensive streaming tool for TV
on March 6, 2026
Posted by: Alwaysfixing
Verified Purchase:Yes
It works great for streaming to my tv. The interface is a bit stale in design but it works. The initial setup requires typing in username and password by punching keys on a screen keyboard. They should fix that and allow typed entry.

You're excited to buy a new washer or dryer ~ now, make sure to protect it. Geek Squad Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and gives you extended coverage when the warranty ends. Geek Squad Protection often covers important repairs that your manufacturer warranty doesn't (like failure due to a power surge). If something goes wrong after the manufacturer warranty ends, rest easy; you won't be stuck with a huge repair bill. Geek Squad Protection has your back and will take care of any covered repairs.

It is handy for making ice at small gatherings but it must be emptied to keep the ice from melting and to make room for more ice making.

I am installing a AC1900 WiFi Mesh extender. When I get to the point of entering my Wi-Fi password is says it is the incorrect password which I know it’s not the case. Any advice to overcome that issue?

Push the reset button to get it back to factory password and then you can change it by logging in.

So the Specs in the Compare chart claim this extender boosts long range up to 10,000 feet, but I'm reading reviews here that are saying that it probably won't even go 175ft. What's the real story? I'm looking to buy several for work for a 50,000ft shop.

For large square footage you need a good mash system. Coverage depends on intervening walls and such. The plug-in extenders won’t extend well over 100 feet.

What’s the size of the ice cubes?

They are somewhat cylindrical in shape with a slight taper at one end and a small hole along the axis. Length about 1-1/4”, diameter about 3/4”.

Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement ice basket? I use the heck out of mine so much that the basket handle has cracked.

You can probably repair the basket using either epoxy putty sold at most hardware stores. Just take a small amount of the putty and (wearing rubber surgical gloves) mix it well. Wet the putty a bit while mixing to soften it; but small amount of water only. Mold it around the area to be repaired and let it set up. Another option is types of glue that use UV light to cure. This is only good for joining two parts. With the putty you can actually rebuild missing sections.

ice maker has a funny smell. How to git rid of smell. Any idea?

Often bacteria will build up if water is left in the machine. I suggest a 10% vinegar solution mixed with the fill water to disinfect. Be sure to run at least a few clear water cycles thru afterwards. Dry all accessible parts of the unit after each use and allow it to dry in well circulated air too.

Satisfy all home office or small business printing needs with this Canon MAXIFY printer.

The 500-sheet paper capacity and high-yielding ink cartridge options ensure this Canon MAXIFY printer handles big printing jobs at a reasonable cost. .
 

Does the ocr software scan into ms word for editing? Is it accurate?

The accuracy of any ocr software depends on the source material. Typed text or text from publications work well most of the time. If there are fonts of various sizes and/or special characters (like math symbols), don’t expect that to come out perfect.
