When I first got these out of the box I thought they were made out of cheap plastic because they were so light. They feel like they would break easily. But they're made out of metal and they are extremely light. What I like most about these headphones is the versatility: I can use them on PS4, Xone and PC. I primarily play single player games on PC and play online with friends on Xone and PS4. It's nice to have one nice pair that can be used cross platform.
In terms of sound, they sound pretty good. I don't think they sound any better than my Razer Kraken, but they are more comfortable to wear. They let in some ambient noise, but that's okay for me.
The biggest drawback is the fact that you can't hear your own voice when talking with friends (at least on PS4). I can hear their voices fine and they can hear me, but I hate not knowing how loud I'm talking. I do like the simplicity of the microphone: to mute who simply swivel it up and to turn it back on you swivel it down.
All in all, these are good a set of gaming headphones but I don't think they really stand out in any way in a crowded market. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, there's just a lot of good choices out there. If you like the design and color scheme, and you want some flexibility with consoles/PC use (and don't mind not being able to hear yourself talk) then this is a great choice.

If you hate Marvel movies, you'll hate this, but if you like Marvel (and are one of the 6 people who haven't seen this movie) you should definitely pick it up. It's a classic that is worth watching over and over.

I wanted a portable screen to play movies at our farm. This seemed to fit the bill. It has a sharp contrast screen, but it could be bigger. I also found it to be a pain to setup. For the money, it really can't be beat, but I would prefer some sort of foldable metal structure opposed to inflating and uninflating (it's hard to get in the carry bag).
But at the end of the day, it's a nice big screen and when it was set up, was a pleasure to use. Assuming you use it only occasionally, the set up isn't terrible, but I wouldn't want to set it up and pack it away on the regular.
Lastly, 96 inches is big, but when you're in an open field, it doesn't seem that big. I would have appreciated another 15-20 inches.

First off, I'm a Google product homer, I admit it. I was super stoked with the announcement of the Clips. I thought it would be a great idea to have a camera that could take spontaneous pictures that you could actually be in (rather than being the person taking the photos). All in all, I say Google achieved their stated purpose, but it's not without limitations.
The idea is simple, place the Clips somewhere in a room (or clip it to your clothing) go about your business and it will automatically snap great photos of your family smiling and laughing. But in reality, it still requires a little planning. The Clips is supposed to be 3-8 feet from its subject, which is pretty darn close. I find myself needing to move the camera in front of my kids (and then moving it again) in order to achieve the best picture. I've gotten some great photos, but it's not quite the "set it and forget it" camera it purports to be. Don't get me wrong, it's great, it's still convenient, and it's probably the best solution to the problem of not being in the pictures you take, but I still found myself looking at the camera (rather than forgetting it's there) to see if it's in the best placement.
As far as hardware/software goes, the camera itself is compact and durable. The setup is simple, although you are required to download another app. This is a negative in my opinion. We're a dozen or so years after the intiation of the app craze, and there are literally apps for everything. In a time where I try to limit the apps on my phones to ones I actually use, I was bummed to see I needed another. Luckily, however, the Clips app isn't too invasive and it's so minimalist, it takes zero thought to learn how to navigate it. It's primary purpose is to view the photos taken by the Clips so you can save the ones you want to your phone (which is then automatically synced to the best app ever Google Photos). So it ends up being an extra step, in a perfect world, the Clips just saves the pictures you like without an additional app, but that does feel like you're getting into mind reading territory.
Anyways, back to the hardware. It's simple to use, it has a USB-C charging port and one shutter button. To turn on you simply turn the lens a quarter turn. That simple. Setting up on your phone was a breeze. Charge it, turn the lens so that the camera is on, and your phone should find it in seconds.
As far as photo quality, I thought it was pretty good. It's not going to blow you away, especially in low light, but if used with adequate lighting you'll be more than satisfied. Plus, these are supposed to be spontaneous photos, not necessarily nature landscape photos that will turn into computer desktop backgrounds.
Also re photos, it creates what are essentially GIFs. There's no sound, but it does record about 10 seconds of "footage," which I assume is so that it captures the best part of the image. Problem is, I have only figured out to capture the initial image. So if you turn "motion off" in google Photos when looking at a Clips photo/motion photo, you can only use the first frame as a photo. Maybe there's a way to capture a different frame in that 10 second window, but I haven't figured out how. Which then limits your ability to print the photo. You are then essentially stuck with essentially handing your phone (or sharing digitally) to someone to look at the great photo.
Battery life isn't bad, but isn't good. I haven't ran into any issues because I haven't been stuck without battery life when I needed to use it. But if you were to travel with it, I would keep an eye on the battery level. The only way to check battery life are the three LEDs on the front of the camera, or opening up the app to double-check. I simply drop it on the charger from time to time to keep it ready for when I need it.
All in all, this is a great, fun little device that is tailored for kids/pets/families. It's great to have around and makes for great photos when you least suspect it (it is great to go back through the app and see that it took a great photo you didn't think about taking). But it still requires some planning and staging, just less so than a typical camera. For those in the Google Ecosystem, I highly recommend it (I just can't speak for Apple users).

I love Bluetooth headphones for working out, but it is a love hate relationship. Some headphones don't sound good, others seem to slide out of your ears, other have poor battery life, etc. I've used Beats, JLab, Sony offerings and Anker. After using these SP700N's I still can't say I've found the perfect pair, but man are these close.
With my Bose Sport headphone\s, they tended to slide out of my ears when I got too sweaty, the JLab true wireless sport headphone had spotty connection and subpar sound. These Sony headphones are the first one to sound great and stick in my ear during an intense workout session or long run.
What matters to me is fit of the headphone, strong connectivity, sound and battery life. These Sony headphones are a snug fit in the ear canal and the "hooks" help keep them in your ear canal. I found the snug fit to be a little odd at first, but once you got used to it, you forgot they were there. I can shake my head from side to side, or run, and sweat and they never once felt like they were going to slide out. While I realize everyone has different size ears, etc. (this does come with extra ear pieces) I found this to be the absolute best fitting wireless Bluetooth headphones since my PowerBeats. The tight seal in your canal also allows for a richer bass which the PowerBeats didn't have (but the hooks on the PowerBeats 2 offered me assurances that they wouldn't fall out).
The sound is fantastic and the noise cancelling is superb. I used the ambient noise feature once just to see how it worked, but to me it sounded like mostly static (I was outside). It was tough to hear conversations or make out what noises you could hear.
In terms of functionality and ease of use, I would also give these high marks. Once charged and synced to your phone, all you have to do to pair them to your phone is to pull the earpieces out of the case. I generally control my music while working out from my phone, so controlling volume and pause/play FFD and RWD functionality on the headset itself isn't a big deal to me either way. Unlike JLab's offerings, at least Sony's buttons are NOT touch sensitive (which can be affected by sweat). The buttons themselves work as advertised, but I didn't like using them because it felt like I was jamming the earpieces farther into my ear canal which made it uncomfortable.
One of the more important aspects is connectivity. Again, going back to my experience with JLab's Epic Air, I found truly wireless headsets touchy at best (I've never used Airpods). You had to keep the phone on a particular side of your body or risk losing a connection. I can honestly say that in my experience I had ZERO connectivity issues other than your standard walking too far away from your phone.
The battery life is fine, but not great. For me, I just want to always make sure I have a full battery for my run. So having to charge them frequ\ently isn't a big deal to me, in and of itself. What bothers me is knowing when it's low. The one thing the JLab Epic Air did great at was having a case with a battery indicator. I thought this was a small touch that went a long way. With these headsets (and the reason holding them back from 5 stars) is that you have to remember how long it's been since you charged them since there's no indicator on the case. Of course you can turn them on and look at your phone, but that's more of a hassle.
All in all, these air the best workout headphones I've ever used. They still aren't perfect, and I caution anyone to take the time and find the right earpiece (that applies for any workout headphone) to ensure you get the best fit. Taking the time on day one will save you the hassle and headaches of having headphones fall out of your ear \in the middle of a workout.

Analog film is making a comeback. Me personally, I rarely print any photos anymore. If I take a great photo, I generally only show it to someone on my phone. It's just too much of hassle (and I forget) to get prints made. But I loved old Polaroids and love the idea of taking a picture and instantly having it printed to put on my fridge, or clipped onto a cool piece of artwork.
If you're familiar with Polaroids, you'll know that Polaroid photos have a distinct vintage feel, with muted colors. Personally, I love it. This new Polaroid One replicates what you remember from Polaroids of years past to a T. It takes great vintage photos that you can immediately view and share. I love the rechargeable battery and the automatic timer (more on that in a moment). The film is easy to load and unload.
HOWEVER, in an age when we take photos with our phone on a whim, literally snapping a photo of anything and everything, a Polaroid forces you to think about your shot. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. You only get 8 shots per roll of film and at $19.99 for 8 shots, they're quite pricey. But going through the effort of making a good picture allows you to do just that, get a great and memorable photo. With your phone you might take 3 or 4 pictures really quick in hopes you'll get the right one. But now you have to make sure everything is lined up beforehand.
As for the timer, it's nice, but it's tough to get right. For example, if you want to be in the picture with your friends (and there's no stranger around) you have to find something at the appropriate height to put your camera on, line it up just right, and seemingly hope for the best. This is standard protocol for any self-timer, but the stakes are higher for the previously listed reasons: price of the photos.
At the end of the day, if you're one that wants some cool vintage looking shots, this is the best instant camera. But know that you will be limited in the number of shots you can take given the price. 8 photos in today's digital world is not a lot.

This is my first foray into dash cams. I was always turned away by having to attach something to my windshield and have wires sprawled about my car and having my outlet being used 100% of the time.
I normally only use electronics made by companies I've heard of, or heard things about. I've never heard of Rexing. I was a bit skeptical. The device itself is well made, with lots of buttons (that weren't too confusing) but at the same time, the design seems outdated. It's not bulky, but it's bigger than other dash cams I've seen and bigger than a GoPro. But again, it's well thought out and that's what counts.
You can easily tilt the lens while keeping the device up against your windshield.The screen is nice and bright, although after using it a few times, you kind of forget it's there and it becomes no big deal.
It comes with ample cable length to hide them in the interior. As I stated, one of my big gripes was having cables going every which way in my car. The power cable for the main unit, and the one for the rear camera are plenty long. I was able to use the included orange tool (I'm honestly not sure what it's for, but I used it to wedge the wires in the interior molding). It took a little time, but it was so worth it. Now I have the camera on my windshield and virtually all of the wires hidden.
The instruction manual is extremely useful and easy to understand. I generally don't study manuals but this one I did so I could better understand how to set up the dash cam. Having an easy to understand instruction manual was a plus. It walks you through the numerous buttons on the main camera. This is necessary since their is no touch screen (non-touchscreens actually feel nonintuitive these days).
Once everything was set up I was extremely pleased with the performance. One of the most important things you need in a dash cam (in my humble opinion) is quick start up time. This baby fired up and started recording almost immediately; within seconds. Mine is set to record in three minute clips (on 32 GB card, once it's full, it rewrites everything). I effectively save about 3 hours of video at any given time. That's more than enough should you decide you need any of the footage.
I haven't been in a wreck, so I can't comment on any of the emergency features, such as change in gravity or recording in an emergency with loss of power, but I did review the footage on my computer and was surprised with the quality. This is full HD, not old grainy footage from the show COPS.
My big gripe is the sticky adhesive used to mount it to the dashboard. The device itself is supposed to endure high temperatures. While I parked my car in the hot sun (in KY mind you, not AZ) the adhesive came undone and when I got back to my car the main camera was dangling from the cord. Luckily I pout it back on to the same adhesive pad and haven't had any other issues, I know it's a matter of time. And while I'm sure I could find another adhesive pad, I feel like I'm going to be having the same issue again. What I would have preferred was a suction cup mount. I'm sure it would add to the bulk (at least the distance the camera comes off the windshield) but it would have been a better long term option in my opinion.
All in all, this is a well thought out dash cam, especially regarding its features and design. I only wish it had a better long term mounting system so it doesn't come off the windshield on a hot day. And most importantly, the footage quality is great.

I use this to create a wired network near two of my Linksys Velop Nodes and I think they're fantastic. The best part is that they are really small. Not only that, but they're high quality. My only gripe (minor one) was that no ethernet cable was included in the box. That would have been nice to have. I can't tell you about any performance in terms of raw data, but I can say that I have a LOT of devices plugged into both of my nodes (with a third node in a different area of the house) and noticed NO slow down in speeds.

I moved from 23 inch HD monitor to this, and wow, what a difference. The screen size is great and the clarity is amazing. I didn't want a 4K monitor (only because I didn't think the small size would be beneficial) instead opting to invest in GSync. My eyes were blown away, other HD monitors honestly look fuzzy in comparison. The 144hz refresh rate is great as everything from typing to moving your mouse cursor looks buttery smooth. As for gaming, I've always been a console gamer but it's been difficult to go back after using this bad boy. It's truly a great all around performer. My only knock is the price, but you gotta pay to get the best.

Meet the unrivaled, everyday noise canceling headphone for people who want to keep it simple. Hesh ANC is engineered with just the right amount of added features to make your life a little easier without a lot of additional technology that you might not need.
 

Do these headphones have a mute button and how long is the battery life if using for office calls?

I don't think there's a dedicated "mute" button on the headphones, I didn't find one, so it will need to be controlled from your phone. I never measured battery life for calls, but I've used them for calls (they sound good) and listened to hours of music over the course of a couple of weeks (of and on, not every single day) before having to recharge them. I feel pretty confident you could go a full day of calls without the battery dying.

Yes it prints immediately. I believe, but am not 100% certain, that if you have a microSD card inserted, it will save a digital copy of the picture you take (and print)

Unfortunately, there's no storage for the attachments which is a bummer. Obviously there's space in the container for one (where I keep the sharp chopping attachment) and I keep the shredding/slicing disc in a cardboard container that it came with for the packaging.

Smart Light Starter Kit with Google Assistant
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."
 

Can I use this to turn off my lights while I am away from home? Also, do I get the starter kit and then multiple bulbs or do I need to get a box thing for each room? Thanks so much

Yes, you can turn off your lights from your phone (via Google Home app) when you are away from home. You don't need this starter kit per room unless you want multiple Google Home minis throughout your home (I have several) but obviously the number of smart bulbs (should you want them) will outweigh the number of Google Home minis you need. In other words, one Google Home mini could control all of the smart bulbs you have in your house. You would just need to be within earshot of that one mini when asking Google to turn lights on and off. For me, I keep one Google Home on each floor of my house

Would this work for a Mac Mini? 2014 and newer??? Or a an older MacBook Pro 13 inch. 2011 version I believe.

Yes, I put it in my 2012 Macbook Pro without any issues. Substantially improved the performance

Does this ssd works on MacBook Pro

Yes, I installed it in my 2012 Macbook Pro. I would find a SATA cable, plug it in to your Macbook and clone your existing HDD, use a small Phllips Head screw driver to remove the bottom plate, unscrew the mounting bracket, insert the pegs from your old HDD to the new SSD using a torx screw (very small) and put the plate back on and that's it. Very simple and painless process

The base itself doesn't rotate as it is secured to wherever you put it, but the end of the mount (where the screw thread is located) swivels 360 degrees adding a lot flexibility to your placement options.

Does this remote work with Xbox one?

Yes, sort of, depending on what your asking. The remote itself doesn't control anything but commands to the Logitech Home. But yes, the Logitech Home does turn on my Xbox One S. I've controlled a Blu-Ray before but must admit I haven't tried to navigate the console menu.
