I just don't understand why all of these movies haven't been released in 4k. I am sure they were shot in at least that resolution.

You can use the buttons to control your lights, you don't need to have voice in the bedroom and wake people up. You can program it for low, medium and high if you wish.

Already had hub but no color bulbs. Commands to get various colors with HUE APP; while not bad thru HUE app it is tedious. Thru; Google Voice; more tedious. Need a teleprompter to remember commands. Thru Amazon Alexa voice or APP. even worse (didn't think it was possible).

HUB is almost useless. Ended up using spare Philips HUB. The HUB built in would only "discover" 2 out of 12 bulbs. 3 days of trying. HUE bridge 12 out of 12 first try.

If you have a lot of these sooner or later you will run into the bulb retaining memory of an old set up. depending on whose software you use; HUE, Google, Amazon; this can be a huge problem. Other bulbs can be reset like you phone. Turn the light on/off for a set number of times and it is like new. Not Philips HUE. When it retains memory some software refuses to let you change the name. I guess I would tell someone to try it only because the whole industry is in the dark ages. PS: I programmed industrial machines for 15 years.

 Klipsch - Reference 5-1/4" Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black
Klipsch - Reference 5-1/4" Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black
Experience lush, detailed audio with these Klipsch Reference R-15M bookshelf speakers that feature 5-1/4" copper-spun IMG woofers and 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression tweeters to create a dynamic soundscape.
 

Will these speakers work with a Denon fully automatic analog turntable with a built in phono equalizer? I don't want to buy the receiver if I don't need to. It was suggested that I could just get "powered speakers".

You still need a receiver or amplifier. They are not powered speakers and the amplifier in you turntable is just there to match the cartridge output to a line input on a powered speaker or a receiver or an amplifier.

I put this card right into the camera, and it said it was unable to accept. So, I tried formatting w/ the cam to no progress. I tried the same in my iMac, and same issue. Any ideas on how I can get my money's worth with it? Other cards work in both!

Return for exchange or refund.
