The Vosker V150 Solar Powered 4G LTE Cellular Outdoor Security Camera is a very well-made and robust feeling camera. Not only that it takes nice pictures day or night and in fairly rapid succession. I was concerned at first that it did not have video but I have it pointed at our vehicles in our driveway and the garage area and found that it does a fine job of watching everything and would take several pictures of me approaching and departing my truck. The Vosker app works well in allowing you to view pictures remotely and get notifications but only if you pay for the subscription which includes LTE from AT&T. I had a trial and was able to view pictures in the app until the trial ended then they disappeared. For the price of this thing it should have WI-FI and video. My homes Mesh WI-FI system reaches far out into our yard and beyond and the LTE/Subscription plans seem a bit pricey and limiting to me. Especially when I already have wireless security cameras that do not require a subscription and I can still view them from anywhere on my phone. I do have one security camera that started out free and then they tried to make me pay to use it and I would not because it cost to much. Then later I checked back and they had revised there strategy and would let you use it for free or they offered some very reasonable paid plans so I paid for a one year plan for the extra options because the price was right. There are way to many wireless and wired security cameras with built-in storage for companies to be charging expensive plans. I love the Vosker V150 and would love the V200 with video even more but they need to have WI-FI as an option and more reasonable plans and even a free option using WI-FI and then a lot more people would by them. If you have to have a camera in a remote area that has no WI-FI and you need to be able to remotely view the pictures in the app then this may be a good choice for you. However, to me the plans do not make sense. I understand the 7 day, 15 day and 30 day parts of the plans but the part about 500 photos, 1000 photos or unlimited photos does not seem logical nor does limiting the number HD photos to 10, 20 or 40. Why would you limit the number of HD photos? I do see you can pick which photos you want in HD in the app so that helps. However, I believe the plan and pricing strategy needs to be seriously overhauled. I have another security camera that went through this issue and they finally came out with a very intelligent way to accommodate all of their user base. I am not sure how often I will be climbing up the ladder to retrieve the info off the SD Card but it is not something I want to do all of the time because I am to busy. I would advise the team at Vosker to really look at what their competition is doing and come up with more clever idea with their plans. Also, make a version with WI-FI and both photo and video capabilities with the option to use LTE for those that need it and you will have a big hit!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022 is a very versatile photo editor that is easy to use. It is designed with 3 levels of user input. The quick edit the guided which has illustrations of each effect as examples of what it does and the Expert which has precision edits done by the user requiring some skill to get good at using it but will give you the most detailed edits when you get to that level. You can do background overlays adjust the lighting to remove objects from a picture like a photo bomber and so much more. Basically, the features seem almost unlimited and will most likely be limited only by how much time you spend learning how to use everything the software has to offer. It is a good alternative to professional photoshop for a one-time payment at a reasonable price and being Digital means you can re-download it when you get a new computer and not have to buy it again. If you are looking for a good photo editor at a reasonable cost for your computer to make fun edits or enhance your photos in many ways then this would be a good edition to your software to make enhanced photos and even mp4’s out of your photos to share and create memories for yourself and your family. Adobe keeps improving Photoshop Elements and the effort to simplify it so more people can use it does not go unnoticed. I think a lot of people will appreciate the quick and guided solutions yet still have the option to learn more and eventually master the expert editing tool. I would not hesitate to recommend it especially since it is not a monthly subscription but a one-time reasonable payment.

The Skull Candy Push Active Bluetooth true wireless earbuds have an impressive array of features. Not only that they have the best sound that I have heard from a Skull Candy set of Bluetooth earbuds or headphones. I was able to use the custom EQ app on my phone to get the volume and sound curve set how I wanted it. However, I could have used a bigger set of earbuds to get a better seal. They only give you 3 choices which is a couple less than another brand I just got recently. Despite that issue they did sound very clear with any type of media and in phone calls. I was particularly impressed by the call clarity using my S10+ phone with them. Another small feature that I appreciate is that you can push either earbud one time to answer a phone call. Pressing the right earbud twice to turn up the volume and the left twice to turn it down is also more effective and simple than other controls I have seen on my other Bluetooth headsets. Then if you have the patience and are motivated enough to sim[lify things more there are built-in voice controls for just about everything except the Equalizer. With the standout voice control feature being a simple Accept to answer a call and Reject to not answer a call. While these Skull Candy Push Active Bluetooth earbuds are not the best I have in regards to sound they are good. They have clarity but not to much low end. That may have improved if they would have included large enough earbuds to seal my ear canals off not sure. I like the common sense features easy to operate physical buttons and the voice call clarity the most and while the sound is respectable listening to music the low end after adjusting the custom EQ they only gained enough volume by adjusting the EQ in the app as well for me. These have piqued my interest in Skull Candy products for sure but I have another headset in this price range that sounds better.

The Blink Video Doorbell with sync module is a quality device at a good price. I am impressed with the features and it has been working very well for me. I have a security camera above my front door and the Blink doorbell motion detection takes better clips than my wireless security camera. It comes with a two-way talk feature to allow you to communicate with people at your door when you are away from home or can not make it to the door. It would be great for anyone with limited mobility. Overall, I am very impressed with this device and think it is a great deal for the price!

The Vanity Planet Serum booster helps with the application of creams and moisturizers. You have to hold down the power button for 1.5 seconds to turn it on and then it starts out in low vibration serum mode then you click the power button to move into high vibration serum mode. From there click the power button again to move into low vibration moisturizing mode, click once more for high vibration moisturizing mode. If you click it again it goes back to low vibration serum mode. Hold it down for 1.5 seconds again to turn it off. The minute I turned the device on I could tell it had a high-quality vibration motor which I was pleasantly surprised by considering the price point. Now the reports are in and the news is good my wife told me that she could tell a noticeable difference in the feel of her skin the next morning after using the device. She also told me that she used the high vibration modes on her face and the low vibration modes for under the eye use. She is very happy with it and feels like it really worked and will make a difference with long-term use compared to just applying serums and creams normally. She could feel the difference in her skin and would definitely recommend it. For the price, you can not go wrong!

The Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2S exceeded my expectations in sound quality. I have heard that Anker wireless earbuds and headphones had good sound but I had no idea that they would rival and even surpass some of my more expensive headphones and true wireless earbuds in sound quality. For the price of these True-Wireless Earbuds, they are without a doubt the best I have heard for the price. Additionally, when you download the app and switch to custom it immediately improves the sound signature and adds clarity to phone calls for some reason even if you switch back to the Soundcore Signature the clarity and overall sound stage remains greatly improved. However, the improvements do not stop there I have been fighting with volume boosters and equalizers for my wireless earbuds and headphones to increase the volume and gain sound stage improvements and clarity for years. Back when I could easily root my phones and use Viper4Android it was not a problem but since most manufacturers really locked down on their bootloaders preventing root and custom roms it has been an issue. That is until now with the Equalizer built into the Soundcore app increasing the sliders upward actually increases the volume as well and works very well in letting you shape the sound just how you want it and as loud as you can stand it and or as loud as the earbuds or headphones your using can handle. However, even with these Life Dot 2S True-Wireless Earbuds for the first time in a long time, I can listen to music as loud and clear as I want to and still have additional volume overhead if needed. This is coming from an audiophile that builds car stereo systems and has high-end home and car stereo equipment. I have one Anker Bluetooth speaker but this is my first set of Anker Earbuds or Headphones. The Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2S True-Wireless Earbuds come with an impressive array of earbud sizes so you can be sure to find a size that fits your ears. I am very impressed with the sound quality of these Earbuds no matter what you are listening to and for phone calls the sound quality is great. Now that I have discovered these I want some over-the-ear Anker Headphones. I definitely would recommend these and other Anker Earbuds and Headphones. I have used Anker accessories for a while and I knew they were good but I had no idea how good their audio equipment could be!

The Satechi USB-C Multimedia Adapter for M1 is a nice-looking and well-made device in appearance and feel. I tried using it with one of my 17” 4k laptops that has an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and four USB-C Thunderbolt ports with two 4k monitors. When I first plugged it in both of the screens were on and working. Then I read the instructions and it said to download and install the driver and then plug it in. So I did that and afterwards my left monitor would not display anything full screen. It was like the laptop or the Satechi device saw it as a smaller monitor than it was and it had black bars on each side of the screen. So I uninstalled the driver in the Windows apps and features section and then went to look in my C: drive for any residual files and could not find a folder relating to the Satechi device. I also noticed that my second monitor would only work at 30hz while the first one ran at 60hz and the laptop was running at 60hz as well. Windows would only allow me to extend to the second monitor and the first one duplicated the laptop and I still have not been able to get the first screen to display full screen with the Satechi but when I unplugged the second monitor and used the adapter that came with the laptop that has one HDMI port the screen displayed fully again. I will have to try again to see how I can get the generic Windows driver back that Windows installed on it’s own. At least that way it displayed both monitors in full screen. If you are buying it for a Windows set up you may want to stick with the driver that Windows installs automatically until Satechi updates their driver for Windows. It does say it is made for the Apple M1 to be fair but it is supposed to be able to work with Windows as well and they have a driver download for it. I think it is a good device that just needs a driver update for Windows 10 to work out a couple of issues.

The Fahrenheit- Flare 17.5 inch Fire Pit- Silver is a well constructed and well-designed fire pit. It is all lightweight stainless steel but plenty sturdy. It has a retractable handle that is designed so that when you put the bottom of the pit into the top section it retracts with a spring-loaded bar with a lever that enables you to insert the base into the top section and that lets the ends insert into holes that hold the two sections together while making the crossover retractable piece a carrying handle. This configuration makes the unit compact and easily fit into the included carry bag with plenty of extra space for wood pellets, charcoal or small split oak. This is where my praise of the Farenheight -Flare 17.5 ends. My first question is why would you build such a fire pit and not offer at the very least a grill to cook on. The fire pit is clearly designed with a raised edge to hold the properly sized grill in place to cook on. I measured it and found that a 17 inch diameter grill will fit perfectly inside the top of the fire pit. It has about a 1/2inch raised edge around the top with about a half-inch shoulder for a grill to sit on. Why would anyone have a firepit that they could not cook on? Furthermore, why would a company design a firepit that is obviously designed to accompany a grill and not sell it as an accessory? I am not sure that I can come up with a dome cover for a smoker vent but I am going to open cook some meat on this baby for sure!

The Epson - EcoTank ET-3830 All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer is a well-designed printer with an easy-to-use color display and a well-executed set of functions that are easy to understand and figure out. Not only that I love the idea of a printer with tanks that you just fill up with ink bottles. What the heck took so long for printer manufacturers to come up with this idea? While I would much rather see printers have standard document feeders that can scan 15 pages at a time. Other than that I am very impressed with this Epson Eco=Tank printer. The small color on-screen settings functions were the easiest to navigate that I have seen and were simple to understand. I really appreciated the effort that was put in there. It did not take much time to get the printer up and running and the smartphone app and wireless capabilities are greatly appreciated. Another thing that I have never seen and really appreciate is a full slide-out paper tray for printed-out material. It is very well designed and thought out which seems to be an ongoing theme with this printer. This is my first Epson printer but I like what I am seeing. I would definitely recommend one to a friend or family member and has also caught my interest when looking for a new printer in the future!
