I have not had this case long. I have used OtterBox and know they are quality. This one is grippy, a little slim and works. It just works.

Will I love the keyboard and (especially) the mouse. Comfy to work with. The mouse is smooth and has nice options to customize your layout. My only problem is with the wireless adapter and the intermittent signal loss. Doing some research, it seems there is signal interference from the surrounding electronics on the computer.

Use the Google Smart Light Starter Kit to control the lights using just your voice. Set up in a snap: just plug in Google Home Mini, screw in the GE C-Life smart light bulb, and download the Google Home app to get started. Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."

Wonderful bag
on July 20, 2020
Posted by: captivate2028
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the $10 i paid, it is work more. Very sturdy, zippers are solid, room for a good set of gear. I can fit a full and crop sensor body, plus a 70-200m and a wide angle lens. Plus all my little items like batteries, cards etc. Good bag for the money.
Only issues 1. I would like to see some reinforcement of the bottom of the bag. It is soft, with no ridged pieces. 2. the zipper for the main compartment needs to go back further once unzipped. The bag folds a strange way when the big compartment flap is open and it makes it more difficult to place or remove a camera body.

I am very impressed with this drive. I have an older system I wanted to upgrade a bit before putting a lot of money in to a new system. I wanted new tech for my old rig, but that could be transfered to a new system. This is so quick compared to even my SATA solid state drive.

No gap, no shadow. The LG OLED65WXPUA TV with Wallpaper Design is so slim, the OLED TV blends into the wall. Only OLED can deliver a radically thin profile measured in millimeters. And only OLED pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture ~ backed by AI Picture Pro and AI Sound Pro, our best 4K processor, connected home features and gaming tech. There's thin, then there's OLED thin.
 

Does this tv mounting require a recessed outlet, behind the tv?

When did the price go up? I bought in June 2021 for $100. $70 off then, so that would put it at $170. Now it is $200 or $134.99 for the TECH deal. Shame shame on Bestbuy. why such a price hike? I can prove this as I bought it at Bestbuy.

The mid-range drivers and PEI balanced dome tweeters of these KICKER CS-Series three-way speakers produce clear, dynamic higher-frequency audio details.Geek Squad Installation RecommendedVisit your local Best Buy store for more information.
 

I'm sorting through the reviews trying to tell if these sound okay with a factory setup and no added amp. Replacing speakers in a 2014 Toyota Corolla and not trying to blow the door hinges off here. Just need a clean, crisp sound to keep the wife happy.

I have these in a 2017 chrysler 200. I am disatisfied. Bestbuy put all the equipment in to my car. There is no bass from these speakers. I don't know if it is the stock deck or what. I have a 12in sub which provides base, but I am missing so much sound from these speakers

I have a Samsung 970 EVO ssd ( uses M2 ). Is there a slot for this ssd?

There are 2 m.2 slots. However the KEY slots are different. One is for things like wifi cards and the other for storage. But this isn't an M key for storage. It is a B/M Key. 2 notches for this M.2 drive. So you have to replace it with another M.2 that fits. Samsung Evo doesn't not, it only has 1 slot

Probably a stupid question but I don't know the answer so I'm fine asking it. ;) Does this work with ALL computers? Desktops/Laptops/Chromebooks? THANK you!

This will work with Computers that have a SATA cable to connect this drive. It plugs in to the old HDD drives the same way. But all Computers are not the same, and you need to check first.

Life~s extraordinary moments deserve to be captured with smooth video. DJI OM 4 is a magnetic gimbal designed to complement your smartphone, allowing you to start recording right away. Ultra-compact, easy to use, and bursting with intelligent features, OM 4 is the ultimate solution for capturing and sharing your world.
 

Why do I have to create an account and activate the product through DJI in order to use it? I have already paid for it. Why do I have to give the app access to my personal information? Very suspicious.

I disabled any permissions that let the device track me. It does location tagging on pics, that is one reason it asked for that permission. You can use this with the regular phone camera app. You will not get the same functions though

Will this work with a Note 8?

It should work with any device that meets minimum requirements(please see the products information for details) Use the cords that come with the gimbal. The cord that has 1 plug with 3 lines and the other side has 2. The 3 line plug needs to be used with the phones. It will not work otherwise.

What is the range of this microphone for capturing sound - - - most shotgun mics have a minimal range of 4 ft

I think about 4ft to keep a good tight sound on the person speaking. This is a directional mic so it isolates what is in front of it. It always depends on the ambient noise too.
