I'm not necessarily concerned about someone breaking into my home, but I wanted cameras just to check on things. I also liked the idea of using the Arlo camera to trigger turning on a light at night (with use of IFTTT app). The Arlo set up is hands down the easiest to set up and use. Of all the tech gear I've ever purchased, this was one of the easiest to get up and running.
Included in the box:

- base station
- two cameras
- two batteries
- charging cable for batteries (thru the camera)
- wall attachments with anchors (attach to camera via magnet, easy to adjust)
The instructions make this a seemless process. The only true limitation is the placement of your router, which the base station needs to be connected to via ethernet. This means that you need to free up a LAN port and it needs to be in a central location in your house assuming you want to utilize the siren to scare away would be burglars. For my particular setup, location wasn't an issue, it was the freeing up of an ethernet port since I connect all my devices that I can to the LAN ports. But that wasn't a big deal.
All you do is plug the power cable into the base, plug ethernet to the router, turn it on, wait two minutes and then hit sync on the base station and camera (setting up one camera at a time) and voila. All good to go.
Then you have to download the app and set up an account, which is no big deal. The app is pretty helpful and for the most part, intuitive. (it too gives you instructions for set up).
The hardest part is determining where to put the cameras. And the best part is you''re not limited by power outlets. (oh and the batteries come fully charged from the factory a HUGE bonus in my mind, very thoughtful). I ended up using one in my living room (to help turn on lights through IFTTT and one in my son's room to replace his paltry monitor. It takes one small anchor and screw (included) and you hang on the silver half-domed wall anchor and the camera attaches via strong magnet. I haven't tried outside and tested whether or not the magnet would hold up to the elements (I'd honestly buy the screw in mount for $19.99 if I were doing that). But it holds its place in the house without any issues. And it is easy to adjust the camera by sliding it around the half-domed mount.
The next thing to do is set up how you want the cameras to work. Do you want to be notified if there's motion in the house? All day or certain hours? Or do you just want to check the cameras at oyur own leisure? Luckily, the app is pretty easy to navigate to set your preferences. My family is home most of the day, so I leave motion sensing off except when we leave for vacation, otherwise you will be constantly notified.
The picture quality is great and you can take pictures and record manually through the app (i.e. take a quick screenshot of the video or record a clip as you're watching it). You do get free 7 days of video capture for free, but I noticed that the camera has to be triggered. For example, mine are not operating under motion detection and therefore don't record at all time. But if I set it to detect motion it will record when it detects motion. In other words, I can't go to the app and view video from yesterday since I don't have it set to notify me of motion. No big deal, but something to think about. I have not tested to see if you can just have it constantly record and I don't know what effect that has on the battery life.
My one big complaint is that it takes a LONG time to get the live video feed (which BTW is a few second delayed). When I open the app and see my camera feeds and I click on them to get them to show a live feed, it takes 10-20 seconds, which is a long time. But again, depending on how you're using these cameras will alter the settings you use and change this. I want to conserve battery and since I just check up on things infrequently, I don't mind the delay (too much). But if I needed to constantly monitor something it would be a big pain.
All in all, this is the most convenient and flexible camera system you can buy, based on my research. The battery life is incredible, they recharge (supposedly) in 2 hours and you can put them anywhere. The setup is dead simple and the IFTTT integration is a huge bonus. I havent tested them in the elements, but based on their construction I have no doubt they can handle it.
Last thing, you can add up to 5 cameras to one base and have free access to cloud storage for the past 7 days, so you can always add more cameras.

I primarily use this Ninja to make single serving smoothies in the morning. I like the included "tritan" cups and drinking lids. I particularly like the 32 ounce cup, which are hard to find. The bowl was merely an afterthought, but I liked using it and made some good food from the included recipe book (which you may not use if you're a cooking guru unlike me). It's also a plus that everything is dishwasher friendly.
What you get:
- Motor base
- Bowl with metal mixing blades and plastic mixing blades (kneading dough)
- 2 24 ounce travel cups
- 1 32 ounce travel cups
- 3 drinking lids
- 1 screw on blade base for travel cups
Like all Ninja products, everything is made of plastic. But that is no knock, these are made of high quality and sturdy plastics. I also like the black and silver look. There are quite a few buttons on the base (from a guy coming from a blender with Low Med High settings) but they all serve a purpose. As a whole, the whole system looks good. The base is a bit tall, but even with the 32 ounce cup locked into the base for storage (I keep a cup on the base for easy access and to eliminate some clutter in my cabinet) it fit on my counter underneath my cabinets.
Using this as I primarily do, making single serve smoothies, this baby is pretty self explanatory. I will say that I am extremely impressed with the blender's capability to pulverize anything. Frozen fruits, nuts, apples all come out smooth and "non lumpy." The bowl on the other hand, took me out of comfort zone. I don't have and have never used a food processor. My guess that this is close to a food processor as you can get. Since I've never used one, I don't know what to do with it offhand, but the included 75 recipe book has lots of fun things to make. I made veggie burgers and quinoa salad and it was awesome. It was really simple to make and use and the finished product is delicious. And dare I say, it was kind of fun. I haven't strayed away from the cookbook, but there's plenty of offerings in there to justify the purchase if you aren't a big cook and want to experiment. What I like most are the various items you can try; there's something different which makes it fun to cook (I'm used to making the same 3 things all the time).
Bottom line is, if you are looking for a "nutribullet" this thing can handle anything you throw at it, and if you are interested in venturing outside of your comfort zone and utilizing the bowl to make new and interesting dishes (using the included cookbook) this is a great device to have. Even if you don't use the bowl attachment, this is a great single serve smoothie maker.

I love the WWI setting, and I found the campaign to be a great experience. But taking it online was tough, the learning curve is steep and unless you don't have a job/family it will be difficult to get up to par. But with anything, a little bit of time and you'll be just fine. But I would buy this game for the single player campaign alone, the gameplay is tight and entertaining; and the story telling is second to none (as it comes to war games) in my opinion.

I used a cheap old hair buzzer for trimming my neck and body hair. It did just fine, but it could only get so close (I didn't have a close trimmer). This Philips Norelco trimmer is fantastic. It's rechargeable, which is a huge plus, no need to plug in, and it comes with a nice bag to store the trimmer and all of the attachments. The "body hair" attachment can be a little rough (it feels like it pulls hair) but it does a great job of getting close to your skin. I haven't used the hair trimmer, because I don't cut your hair, but if you shave any body hair this is a great choice. And you can use it in the shower which for me is easier than sweeping up hair on the floor.

If you have a PS4 and have any interest in VR, you need to get the PSVR. Admittedly, I never once used Vive, Oculus or Samsung VR prior to purchasing PSVR. While I'm a Sony fan, the reason for not buying one of these VR systems was because I didn't have a Samsung phone or VR ready computer. Since I had a PS4, this was my opportunity to enjoy a new videogame experience.
First, the set up. While the plethora of cables seem confusing, the set up process is pretty straightforward and simple. The instructions are easy to follow. But there's a big caveat to the setup!!! You are limited by the cables. Not everyone will experience the problems I have, as it depends on your entertainment setup, but I have a TV above a fireplace and have my receiver/PS4/router/modem, etc. on a stand to the side. I ran my wires through the wall, into my crawl space and back up to where the entertainment system is.
Because of the short PS4 Camera cable, which should be under or above your TV, I had to physically move my PS4 and processing unit away and plug it straight into my TV. This wasn't a big deal on day one, as I was excited to play PSVR. But it wasn't a long term solution. I ultimately bought a PS4 camera extension cable and place the camera under my TV whenever I want to play PSVR.
My other issue regarding setup, which is specific to me, but something to consider, is the requirement for an extra power plug. I literally have an Apple TV, modem, router, Logitech Harmony base, receiver, subwoofer, Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U plugged into my power strip. I had to unplug the Wii U, which is used the least, in order to plug in the processor. Again, you may not have this issue, but given that the PS4 processing unit needs to be in close proximity to your PS4, which needs to be in close proximity to the TV (because of PS4 camera cord shortness) it is something you need to plan for.
The other thing to keep in mind is to take your time in setting it up and going through the menu options to optimize the PSVR settings, it will pay off in the end. I jumped right into playing after hooking the cables up and had difficulties with the tracking system. I also had difficulties setting up the PS Move joysticks. It was the first time I've ever used them and I had to figure out how to set them up too. Not difficult, just takes time.
Second, experience. I was truly blown away the first time I put the headset on and was immersed in a virtual world. This portion of my review is short because no words can sum up that feeling of true audio and video immersion. You really, truly, have to see it to believe it. It's not perfect, maybe one will argue the Vive or Oculus does it better, but I don't care. It is a fantastic experience, even playing the demos.
The only thing I worry about is shortage of games. There's plenty of keep me busy for the time being, but I don't knwo what's coming down the pipeline.
All in all, a must have accessory for any videogame enthusiast.

I have edited videos in the past using GoPro Studio and Windows Movie Maker. I am by no means a movie editing pro or anything close. I've used Adobe Premiere Pro before and found it overwhelming. While I would love to learn how to use Premier Pro, I just don't have the time to dedicate to learning it.
Since the birth of my son (who's 1 now), I have been recording more videos and wanted to do something with them other than sit on my computer or phone. I liked GoPro Studio, but found it difficult to incorporate pictures and use footage from sources other than GoPro (that difficulty could be user error).
I thought Adobe Premiere Elements would be a nice sweet spot. From what I've read, it was a tamed down and easier to use version of Premiere Pro. In a sense it is, but in a sense it isn't. I was able to create a 2 minute video on the "Guided" setting, which does a decent job of explaining the features and how-to of the program, but it wasn't without its share of headaches and trial and error. (I stayed completely away from the Expert setting). It has a "Quick" setting, but I wanted a bit more control over my videos and haven't run it through its paces just yet.
If you've never edited videos before, and don't have the time or desire to teach yourself, this program isn't for you. It's unintuitive to the uninitiated. It has some powerful tools and effects, but despite Adobe's best efforts, it's still difficult to learn. It's not intuitive to the normal person.
The performance depends on your machine. I have a relatively new Acer R 15 inch laptop with i5 processor with 8 GB RAM and HDD. I found the computer slowing down considerably when using this program. I had to shut down every window and background program to have it perform smoothly. But mostly any slow downs occurred when importing and exporting media. I'm guessing this is maching dependent. I only mention this in case you have an older or budget machine. I don't think you need a top of the line computer, but you'll need something with oomph.
Bottom line is that if you want to edit videos and you are willing to put the time in, this is a program that will help you create amazing results. But in the beginning, be prepared for a steep learning curve. Once you learn how things work though, it's extremely rewarding.
I would also recommend a training guide or how to book. I think running through an example to learn the programs' features to be the quickest way to get up to speed.

I'm not a computer network guru, I can't really tell you about the different bands, speeds, or the internal processor of this router and how it relates to others on the market, I can just speak to real world experience.
First, it's super easy to set up. Screw in the antennaes, plug it into the power outlet and connect your modem to the WAN port. And I love the app; I'm not sure if it's absolutely necessary to use to get everything set up, but it sure beats the days of having to login to your router's IP address in days past. I set it up on my phone including the password in no time.
In terms of speed, I've seen no slowdown. I get 300 MB/s speed through Time Warner and it handles all of our devices. We are a connected home, with several laptops, tablets, phones, Amazon Echo, Nest products, video game consoles, garage door all connected at one time. I can play Xbox Live while my wife streams Netflix 4K in the other room and we have no complaints.
My one psuedo complaint is the footprint of this router. It takes up a good size of space (for a router) and there's no option to stand it up on it's side. I do not like putting a HDD or thumb drive into the USB port of any router (honestly, no real reason or justificiation, it's just a personal decision) so I can't state how well network attached storage works.
I have to mention the Linksys app one more time. I find it extremely useful and easy to use. It's not necessary (I don't think so at least) and I'm not on it every day by any means, but it is a convenient way to look at who's using your network, how many devices are on it and turning on/off a guest network. It's also easy to run some diagnostics on your network and let you know if you're online (I haven't had to yet).

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)

is there a storage container for the blades with this one or separate?

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
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

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

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.
