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.

They could have done better. Don't waste your money on this movie, save it for the next Star Wars movie instead, Episode 9.

 SimpliSafe - SimpliCam Indoor HD Wi-Fi Security Camera
SimpliSafe - SimpliCam Indoor HD Wi-Fi Security Camera
Add to your peace of mind with this SimpliSafe home security camera. It expands your existing SimpliSafe system with another viewing angle to monitor your premises, and it streams in 720p HD for clear, sharp images. This SimpliSafe home security camera has night vision capabilities for watching any time of day.
 

Hi. From what I’ve read , if in away mode, the camera will sense motion and trigger alarm if motion is sensed, . Will it detect pet movement in away mode and trigger alarm?

Cameras by themselves do not trigger any alarm. They record motion when triggered by a alarm that is initiated by a motion, entry, or panic detector. You can set up motion detectors with cameras in areas where your pets are so that they only send you a “secret alert” when motion is detected and record that motion. I use this setting for my 4 cats, so that if the secret alert is initiated only I will know it and see what is recorded, and then I can call 911 if there is something other than my cats setting off the alarm. Simplisafe monitoring services are not notified during secret alerts.

If I connect this extender direct to the Xbox will it keep from lagging when playing video games? Also is this compatible with Centry link WiFi ?

I can’t answer the first part of your question however the second part I can answer YES. It does work with Century Link WiFi.
