This is a reliable SATA drive providing high capacity storage in a 2.5 inch drive. It provides respectable speeds for a wide range of file types. I am using this to catalog 100 years of family photos that I have been painstakingly digitizing. When you run out of NVMe slots, most computers still have SATA ports you can make use of. This drive is an excellent choice for one of those ports. I highly recommend it.

This is an important accessory for my laptop. It provides four high speed additional ports. It is plug and play. It comes from UGREEN, a company known for reliability - I have many of their cable products. The separation between the ports allows all four of the ports to be accessible. The connection cable is perfect for use with my laptop. The hub is small and easily packed in the pocket of my laptop bag. It was a very good buy.

This external drive is remarkably tiny for the 2 TB it holds!
It will easily fit into even the smallest pocket of a laptop sleeve (or bag). I reformatted the drive from the exFAT it comes with to NTFS, and then performed some speed tests. I connected it to a fast USB-C port on my computer and obtained a speed of ~1000MB/s, consistent with what most others have found. This is fine for my needs. I use this drive to make backups of my laptop. I highly recommend this drive!

This briefcase is a good fit to my HP 2-in-1 16 inch laptop. The laptop fits comfortably in the main compartment. The outer pocket can hold the charging brick and a mouse.

My new ASUS Strix G16 16 inch laptop is thick and has a large 280 Watt power brick. This backpack can easily handle both, and has plenty of space to spare! My laptop fits comfortably in the main storage area. There is even space to insert a little extra padding on the bottom and sides when making longer trips. There are three nested pockets on the front. My large 280 Watt power brick fit easily in the smallest pocket. I put its power cord in the second largest pocket, with plenty of room for my gaming mouse and my gaming pad. The largest pocket I use for papers, and a little extra padding. I was able to snatch this up on Cyber Monday for just $10 ! The backpack is well made, with a good and solid handle. I recommend this backpack.

Does this laptop run Windows Home 11 S? I ask because the official product brochure from Lenovo (accessible via a link on the Best Buy site) says it runs Windows Home 10 S.

The version of this laptop I got from Best Buy does not have the sliding switch to put a physical screen in front of the camera. I believe this is the case for this version of the laptop for Best Buy. You can disable the camera in Settings, if you wish.

Panasonic - KX-TGD863A Link2Cell DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System - White/Navy Blue
Panasonic Cordless Phone KX-TGD863A with digital answering system features Link2Cell so you can make or receive mobile calls through handset units for call clarity even in cell dead zones. The KX-TGD863A also includes Bilingual Talking Caller ID and smart call block features that make it easier than ever to block and avoid nuisance callers.
Sorry, but must ask this again as it was not addressed by a previous reply. Other than the number of handsets, are there any significant feature differences between KX-TGD862 and KX-TGD863? If so, can I get a KX-TGD863 with only 2 handsets?
The only difference between them is the color scheme. If you prefer the color scheme of the KX-TGD863, I believe you have no choice but to accept it with 3 handsets. Having a spare could be a good thing.

Kyvol - HD5 1.2 Gal. Humidifier with Adjustable Night Light - Dark Gray
Rid your home of uncomfortably dry air with this Kyvol HD5 ultrasonic humidifier, which offers 360 degree and detachable spray nozzle which helps improve the dry air in a super quiet way. With Unique and Innovative MegaMist Technology, the mist volume can be increased to 600ml/h and the mist height can reach 40 inches instantly, which gives the droplets enough time to evaporate in the air, protecting your desk or carpet from getting wet.
I bought this product, filled it up and works great. Now that the water needs to be refilled, I’m have issues twisting the cap off, it’s completely stuck and I’m not sure how to refill it without removing the cap. What do I need to do?
It sounds like you either put the cap on too tight, or cross threaded it when you put it on. I think you will have to use brute force turning the cap counterclockwise. After filling the tank, take care putting the cap back on - making certain
it threads properly when you tighten it clockwise, but not too tight.
