just an audio converter for different connectors
on September 24, 2021
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
i bought this as a deal of the day $20 plus got more off with my BB rewards ... so price was a pretty good deal that BB made me buy this , ha ... i originally had another brand ,, and it worked and didn't work ... but then i didn't read up on why ,, i just hooked it up .... and then left it .. so you see in my photo now both audio converters that i have ..
and this time as of now ,, i spent the time and effort to play and test and see how this is and researched how these things work .. and now i found that both converters that i have ,,, each work just fine and as designed ... which really just connects the audio with different connectors all together as a pass-thru ...
now if you continue to read my review here ,, i will now give you tips ,, first ,, new tv and new bluray players and 4k players ,,, etc. can give you great sound with digital w/surround ... and of course your old audio receiver can't play that ... so you need to reset your tv or player to put out PCM audio ,,,, which is just 2 channel audio and not the multi-channel audio ... and these converters will work great ...when you switch to PCM ,, it just takes all the multi 5.1 7.1 etc .. and pass all channels combined into just 2 channels left and right for your old receiver ..
i can go into more on audio quality and types ,, but you now need to research that yourself ...so my next tip is to help all you who may think it does not work with your system .. so this is what i easily see or hear when i first just hooked it up .... and what i describe will be very basic simple ,,, if you are getting static and noise out of your stereo system with the converter ,, it will likely be your tv output or player is putting out a digital audio signal ,, thus the noise static and not audio ... if you then reset your tv-player to output PCM audio ,,, i bet it will then work ... and if you donna hear anything ,, that means there is no audio signal being passed by the converter ..

i been using this for a few days now and gotten really good results every time ,, but the best thing is the ease of cleaning the removable plates .. by just brushing it in a rinse,,,
and then my batch of batter that i make normally is just the purfffect amount to fill a full plate to cook ... i swear that my life is so much easier and relaxing than making with my old smaller waffle maker or pancakes ..
here's at tip for reading my review ,, use a small metal cup to put cold butter and place on top of it while heating up and coooooking ,, to melt ,, wayway better than puttin cold butta on your fresh coooked ..
here's a 2nd tip ,, did you read and see the reviewer who stated there is no rubber tip on the back footing ,,, ha ,, he's right ,, cusinart should be ashame to not have it and be cheep ,,, so i use scotch tape on the back legs and then filled it with silicone pass the leg height and then use a razor to trim so the sharp plastic back legs donna get you ...

i used this for sim adaptability
on June 26, 2021
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
i bought this for the physical sim only to use as an adapter.. ATT has been telling me my old flipper phone 3g is not agonna work next year ... so i finally got a smartphone .. but the old 3g uses a standard size ,,, so when i went to ATT store they just cut it down to nano size .. and put it in my new .... but then i realized turning on my old phone ,, i can't access all my contacts .. and of course ,, i can't fit the nano cut sim back in ...
so this $1 deal here let me put the sim back in my old phone ... and of course ,,, it worked like a charm .. . .and i can now migrate back and forth from old to new and back ,and whenever i want .. so i must give this a 5 star to resolve my problem perfectly ... oh oh and maybe down the road ,, i may subscribe to simple moblie if they have a better plan ..

i have the Asus usb-ac68 and it has been working great for a few years that i had it .. Well i just happen to have found the pce-ac88 and this is the first time i seen one with this many antennas .. so i decided to get this .. and now it has freed up a usb port on my desktop ...too
so i will now use the ac68 on my laptops which i expect to now connect wireless better and faster and when traveling i will be able to connect to hotpots way better than with the internal factory laptop wireless.. .
i always have bought wireless adapter with external antenna and on a cable for more flexibility to move it to get your best signal and transfers speeds .. ha the more the antenna you got ,, the better it is ,, i say .. .
and lastly,, having used the new ac88 on my desktop for a few weeks now ,,, it has been working flawlessly and fast ..

after looking all over for something to protect a mucho big money dollar investment of a smart phone .. . this looked perfect ,,and when i search just the BB listing of cell phone cases ,, sadly ,, they all look useless for any protection and dropping it ..
so search looking out of the box i found this ,, at first the specs of this case may would if not fit my phone ?? ,, but it was close .. so i bought it and my phone fits .. note 20 that is 6.9 inches .. check out my photo it looks like it wonna fit but it does ..
and the softness of the case ,, and extra padding thickness of this case will ,, i bet absolutely provide much better drop protection .. way better than a note 20 case made for a note 20 ,, and at the lowest price to a note 20 case .. and i can attach a lanyard for my neck or belt ..
there may be trade off in bulk and size, , and blocking signals ,, but it is secondary to me ,, and when if i pull it out to use ,, it will all just come together and work fine for me .. and samsung shulda molded a holder hole to attach a lanyard ,, why they all donna ,, is a mystery .. to me ...

Entertain yourself and go back in time for a couple hours ,, the characters will tell a great story and learn about Ken Miles .. ha and this movie shows and demostrates another great example of how upper management screws things up ...and get big pay .. just like when I was working in the corporate wold ..
and the 2nd story tale,, is you need a driver that knows how to drive and a driver that know the mech-a-nics ,, who has the knowledge, background and physics of making a fast race car and win .. just like some people i grew up with who are mechanics and know how to win .. ohoh and tell those who do the work , on what is wrong or needs upgrade or fixing .. not just be the driver ..
i just watch this my 2nd time and 1st time with my sound system ,, so crank it up and it was thunderous .. super details with the 4k ,,

Step up your photography with the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body. It has a 30.4-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and a 100-32,000 ISO range that lets you take large photos that are sharp and bright. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body is ideal for shooting action photos with speeds of up to seven frames per second.
Overall
4 out of 5
4 out of 5Overly priced, not what i expected
By tess73
from North Dakota
Not for beginners confusing options in the menu it may be the same with the mark III? You really have to know what each thing does or what it doesn't do, it maybe easier for someone who has worked with pro level cameras before? color is not the same as most canons (lighter not as vibrant) and that is one thing I wish they didn't change cause I loved canon's color .It was said in a review you rarely miss shots with it , I found I miss just as many shots as I do with my 6D and my T6i and that is using a center focus point, I also used the auto focus and moved focus points and it missed shots. I think people would be better off with the mark iii until the price drops on the IV unless you feel you need the extra MP's and it would be worth it to you paying the higher price. It's not a terrible camera but not worth the high price tag in my opinion.

By Bree
I was searching for a remote control to do some self-shoots with my husband. Technically this works, but you must point the remote directly to the IR sensor of the camera, otherwise it will not be recognized. If you don't want to have the remote in all your pictures you will (depending on your camera) possibly need a firmware update or add-on to get a delay between pressing the button and the actual photo.
The biggest issue I had was finding out which cameras are working with the remote control. The internet isn't helpful at all and even the QR code on the package itself leads into nowhere. I can at least tell that it works with my (old old) Canon EOS 500d.
So, with some minus points still a working accessoire.

The advertisement claims the complete accessories, but the actual package is missing a couple accessories, blade oil and cleaning brush. I returned it and got another one from a local BestBuy and same issue. Why the package is not as advertised?

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??
it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

Aspherical lens elements ensure less distortion in the corners of the image without affecting the centers, and a continuous f/2.8 aperture means this lens is fast. Rapid autofocus ensures this full-frame Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens quickly locks onto your subject.
Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.
if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..
if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...
if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

Double your camera's battery life without adding a lot of bulk with this Canon battery grip. Vertically positioned controls offer easy access to the camera's shutter release and AF controls. Compatible with the Mark IV DSLR camera, this Canon battery grip offers room for up to two Li-ion battery packs.
I thinking of ordering Canon Mark IV 5d body only. Before placing order include a free Canon BG-E20 Battery Grip-black. Do you know if batteries is included in the grip. Please advise Thank you.
Charge small appliances with this Insignia extension cord. Its 9-foot length lets you run the lightweight cable around the room for versatile placement, and the three grounded outlets provide extra charging points. This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say
you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
