Replaced Samsung 40” that went bad. Good tv, does what it should. Goes with the 49” version I bought during the holidays. Vast array of apps available through their App Store. Plays well with LG sound bar for the most part, though sometimes loses the Bluetooth connection to it. Good internal speakers too, really the need for the sound bar only for the extra bass. I especially like the magic remote. I like that feature of all the LG TVs. Easy to just point what you need. Alexa included with the remote, but I’m more old school and don’t want to be talking to a tv, rather just point and click.

This is my 4th garmin gps unit dating back 15 years at least. They keep getting better. This one is particularly easy. Speak to it and it speaks back. Built in WiFi receiver means map updates are particularly easier than in years past. Used to download a program into a Windows pc, then register your device, download the application and updates to the pc, then install it to the gps for many hours. Now connect the gps to your wireless network, use your email address, you’re registered and the unit downloads the updates directly to itself. Simple. Directions are clear. If you take a different route, such as local road that you know is faster than what the gps recommends, the gps will modify its routes while you’re traveling and still get you there with minimal fuss. Older units would always say “make a u-turn” because they would never recognize your way as an alternative. Built in traffic and weather updates are very useful. Warnings of upcoming speed and school zones.

Easy to use, you put it where you want and the weights keep the gps in place. There is a locking mechanism to adjust which way the gps faces once you’ve found the ideal spot to place it, ball mount is universal for all garmin units dating back a decade or more.

Thought I could use this straight out of the box with my Galaxy S8 phone, but you need to use the micro to USB-c adapter to mate them up. Install the app called memory zone from the sandisk site and you’re good to go.

Friend was using a flip phone from Consumer Cellular. I offered her a chance to try out a smartphone so she could use Google maps to get around. So far she likes it as her first smartphone, though I do see some shortcomings as compared to the latest Samsung Galacy smartphones.

Increased my range by about 20 feet over my router coverage, though it was a little finicky in setting up. At first I thought it was a breeze, but on the 2nd day it lost the connection and I had to run the setup again by unplugging the unit, resetting the unit and then using the WPS button again to set up, since then it has not lost the connection even once.

How long can this device stream live for?

I don't believe there is a limit as long as a micro SD card stays inserted. There is a option in the menu for continuous 24/7 recording, however you can turn the camera on and off in privacy mode too.

Disinfect your regularly used devices easily with this PhoneSoap Basic sanitizer. Provides charging capability for electronics and uses UV-C ultraviolet light technology to eliminate germs and bacteria safely in 10 minutes. This PhoneSoap Basic sanitizer features a compact design for portability, and compatibility with different gadgets offers versatility.
 

Will this fit an iPhone 11 Pro Max?

It should. The interior dimensions are 3.625"wide, 6.75" long and 0.50"deep. The iphone 11 pro max is listed as 6.22 x3.06x0.32 inches. Those measurements i took are actually a little short of the true dimensions, but you'll will need a little maneuvering area to place and pickup the phone from the plastic film surface inside that must remain in place for the phonesoap to work. It is a nice little device. I leave it unplugged until I need it, usually after I come home after being out all day. Takes only 10 minutes. You place the phone inside, in standby mode, close the lid, plug it in, and a soft green lightening bolt glows from the top lid for 10 minutes and you're done. I have no proof that it works, but it gives a piece of mind, hoping that it does.
