No muss, no fuss. Brought my DigiLand DL8006 in when it wouldn't turn on and they gave me a new one when they couldn't get it to even charge.

Insignia™ - 12' 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable - White
Enjoy high-quality video on screens throughout your room with help from this 12-foot Insignia HDMI cable. The fully shielded cord holds up to daily wear and tear without sacrificing functionality.
Great cable for 4k/60 HDR and 4k/60 SDR
Customer Rating
5.0
I bought 4 of these as a "Deal of the Day", so I got a better price on them than you'd get from a certain internet retailer known for their inexpensive cables. At the regular price, I'd give them 4 stars because of markup.
Anyway, these perform well with my Apple TV 4K (HDR), my LG UP875 4K Blu-Ray player (HDR), my living room PC (HDR from a Radeon RX580), and my AirTV Player (SDR). Zero glitches with 4K/60 HDR, 4K/24 HDR, 4K/60 SDR, with every color mode I could throw at my TV.
Catch them on sale is my biggest recommendation; the regular price is a little high, even at 12 foot. Also, keep in mind these are thick cables that aren't as flexible as what you're probably used to; high-speed cables are either thicker or have specialized chips in them - sometimes both - to help with higher bandwidth signals, especially outside of the 6 foot range.

Usually, you buy the Insignia brand and expect a mediocre product, as shortcuts are taken and price is considered before quality. Not so with this Smart Speaker; Best Buy's contract manufacturer has figured out how to make it inexpensive and be a high-quality product. I have other Google Assistant speakers in my home and while they're good, this one is honestly better in many respects.
It was purchased under the guise of being an alarm clock and a Google Assistant speaker for the bedroom, with a focus more on the fact I picked up for a few bucks more than a regular alarm clock than anything else. So imagine my surprise when I connected my iPhone via Bluetooth and experienced excellent bass and treble response, especially for what I paid for the speaker. The sound quality isn't as good as a dedicated mid-range BT speaker or a high-end speaker with Google Assistant or Alexa in it, but it's actually a step up from two speakers I own that directly compete with this one.
Setup is super easy with these speakers, just like with any other Google Speaker. You'll need your iPhone or Android device with the Google Home app installed to get it going, Once set up and connected to WiFi, you'll be able to say "Hey Google" and have it do pretty much anything you want a smart speaker to do; the only thing 3rd party Assistant speakers don't do that the actual Google Home speakers do is make phone calls, but chances are you won't miss that feature.
Audio quality is good from pretty much any source. I tested with Bluetooth and Pandora, and both were crystal clear. You can also use Google Play Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, and Deezer (some services require a subscription). Chromecast Audio is also built in, so it can be a target for Chromecast Audio-compatible apps. It's only when you get to the upper limits of the device's volume level that you get audio distortion.
Other nice features are a display on the front of the unit that shows a clock, outdoor temperature, volume level, and even the outside temperature; USB port for charging your phone or other device at night; touch controls for those times when you can't say "Hey Google, mute the music"; and a pleasant, modern aesthetic to the device's design. It also has dual-band WiFi connectivity to connect to your network with.
If there's a drawback to this speaker, it's that it uses a wall wart instead of an internal power supply. That's not really even a con though, that's me nitpicking.
All in all, the Insignia Voice Smart Speaker is a terrific value for what it is. I'd recommend it over most of the major brands, unless you need a water-resistant speaker or want something that will give you a hi-fi experience, in which case there are other options. But for a speaker that will sit by your nightstand, in your kitchen, in your bathroom, or somewhere else that a small speaker that responds to your voice makes sense, this is perfect for the job.

PNY - Performance 8GB 2400MHz DDR4 C17 SO-DIMM Notebook Memory - Black
Improve your PC's response time during intensive tasks with this PNY DDR4 2400MHz notebook memory. The 2400MHz RAM frequency and DDR4 technology offer fast speeds, high bandwidth and enhanced thermal performance. This PNY DDR4 2400MHz notebook memory comes as an 8GB stick for easy upgrading and replacement in various PCs.
Will this work on an hp laptop 15-db0xxx Current memory is 4mb 1866 mhz ddr4 synchronous unbuffered
In theory, yes. However, you’ll want to verify that your laptop rubs the RAM at the correct voltage.
I’ve seen DDR4-3600 rub in 6th generation Intel systems with h-110 motherboards. Ryzen is more picky about it. Your milage may vary.

This PNY DDR4 2400MHz notebook memory comes as an 8GB stick for easy upgrading and replacement in various PCs.
I bought this RAM today and when i installed it on my lenovo ideapad 330s-15ikb and turned on the power my screen wouldn't turn on why is that? The ram that is soldered into my laptop is a 4gb DDR4 with 2400mhz.
It could be possible the RAM isn’t seated correctly. Pop it out and back in again, then power your laptop up before you button everything up to make sure it powers on properly.
If that didn’t fix it, verify that the laptop still boots with its soldered RAM. That could indicate either a bad RAM slot or a fault RAM stick.
