Be Smart...with a Nest Hub!
on March 17, 2023
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this as a Christmas gift. It works wonderfully. As I expected, since I already own several Google Home devices. Never had a problem one yet with any Nest device. I really have no intention of considering any other smart device than these...at least for the present time.

A Darker Knight
on December 8, 2022
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
I want to say first off that The Batman is a production of cinemamatic accomplishment. Good cinematography. Fine design details and sets. The story is decent as well. Acting is on la level of quality believability. But, I give it 4 stars because of the pervasive dark mood, the constant night in every scene. Even a daytime scene is under-lighted. Yet, I enjoyed the film. Batman is a true detective in it. No doubt.

Needed this to allow 2 monitors for extending desktop. Had not other options with an older laptop with 1 HDMI and a couple of USB-A ports. Works great. Problem solved.

Cable worked just fine. But, had to return it because configuring multiple monitor extending had to be achieved by other means.

Worthy Little 1080 HD TV
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my 80ish year old mom. She finds it easy to navigate the menu. Simpler than having the Roku device and TV separate, using two remotes. The TCL/Roku is straightforward to operate. And it was a breeze to set up. Picture quality is very good. Audio, not great, but much better than other models I've seen in this screen size range.

Nicely detailed for the price range of this action figure. Articulation is good, although not concealed as well in other manufacturers' figures. Still not a deal killer. Extra parts are cool.
You may be hunted next, earthling!

Not the Best Flavor, not the Worst?
on November 16, 2021
Posted by: Spectre
Verified Purchase:Yes
Well, let's say that this flavor is "okay". It's not as strong as I thought it would be. Neither in the coffee strength or the Cinnamon Roll flavor. When shaking the K-Cup it sounds like not much of anything is inside. I don't hate it, but, I won't buy it again. If that makes sense.

Really nice little bedside (for me anyway) smart clock. Easy set up and touch screen use. The audio is really nice for the small size. Enjoying telling it to play rain, ocean waves, etc. on sleep timer. Interacts with all Google uses I need for now.

I have Spectrum which has up to 200 mps. Will I get the full speed with this router

It depends on several factors. In short, yes, or at least close. Provided the distance of the cable from the Spectrum gateway/device is close enough to the Netgear router and the end device (smartphone, television, media streaming unit, etc.) is also fairly nearby with few barriers (walls mainly).

Isolate distracting noises when listening to music with these Samsung Galaxy Buds+ earphones. The built-in woofer and tweeter in each bud deliver exceptional sound accuracy for a truly immersive experience, while the noise-canceling microphones ensure your voice is loud and clear during calls. These light blue Bluetooth Samsung Galaxy Buds+ earphones feature adjustable tip sizes for a snug, comfortable fit.
 

What is the range on these? Do I have to have my phone right with me or can I walk away say like 80 or 100 ft away. I don’t want to drop calls going out to the backyard if my phone is on the charger in the house

It may vary a bit depending upon what brand/model of smartphone you are using. Most Bluetooth devices (like these earbuds) have a typical range of 25' to 30' plus some. Without any barriers, like a wall or windows, you may reach close to 40' in receiving range. Using only the smartphone Bluetooth and the earbuds I doubt you will reach 80'.

Will this SSD work on an HP pavilion G-7 model?

I don't see why it wouldn't fit your Pavilion. Not sure if you would need to employ the adapter to replace the HDD. That's easy enough, though. Search YouTube if you need answers for install.
