eufy Security Outdoor Cam Pro 2K is a wired 2K Wi-Fi surveillance camera that is completely free of the bounds of an external system hub- instead storing all the information locally in the 32gb SD card that comes with it. Check your high-quality, encrypted, 2K footage whenever you need to via the eufy Security app and only be alerted of the things that matter with AI Human and Pet detection. Outdoor Cam Pro is not compatible with eufy HomeBase. The USB adapter is not waterproof, a cover is required for outdoor use.
Solid outdoor security camera.

Great video quality, the spotlight is handy but not particularly strong. Night vision using IR is out of this world great though, picking things up clearly 75 feet away from my home.
The only major drawback is the AC adapter for these are large. You'll want either Apple cubes (which comfortably run these) or outlets with USB connections in them which will need to be in weatherproof covered boxes). Otherwise, these are great.
For those that know of other Eufy security products and decided against them because of a single point of failure, this camera does not require a HomeBase device. It connects directly to your WiFi.
For the tech-savvy - these can record to an internal SD card, the cloud, or to an RTSP-supporting NVR/DVR system, so you have options on how these work.

Awesome shows and a terrific price, considering that it streams in Dolby Vision 4k with Dolby Atmos audio. There isn't as much content as the big names in streaming, and there likely never will be, but the homegrown content is all amazing.
If you have an Apple device and Apple Music, you might as well roll this into an Apple One subscription as it's a better value. Still, $5 a month for this is a good deal and it works on most Amazon, Roku, and Android TV devices along with most LG and Samsung TVs since 2016.

It's nice to have access to additional content, but if you're going to subscribe to Apple News and you already have Apple Music and Apple TV+, just get the Apple One Premium subscription instead so you get 2TB of shared iCloud (within your Apple Family account), Apple Fitness, Apple Arcade, and both Music and TV get rolled in as well.

Honestly, after using Tidal, Amazon, and Spotify, I find Apple Music to just get me better in the playlist department. The music between all the major services is exactly the same but it's the extras - the "radio" stations, Beats 1, and the AI helping you find new music - that makes the difference for me.
Note that I was already a subscriber. BTW, if you're going to get Apple Music and you already have an Apple device, just skip this and get Apple One instead.

Note that this mousepad is HUUUUUGE. You should really measure your desk before you get it because it will take up a lot of space. If you have the space for it, it's great because it's a good place to keep your keyboard and mouse. But it's the space that's the issue.
Corsair's Cue lighting system is also really neat with this, especially if you have a matching keyboard, mouse, and case lighting.

Great way to play games without actually paying for them. This gives you access to some classics and a ton of modern titles, along with EA Play and all the titles you have access to over there (classics, modern stuff, and Sims 3&4).
If you also have an Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S console, spend a little more and get Game Pass Ultimate with cloud gaming on console, PC, and your phone.

Not the best monitor on the market but definitely a good option if you can find it on sale. The picture is crystal clear, the response time is fairly decent with little blur for an LCD, and it can be very bright. FreeSync is a nice added feature and allows for my kid's computer to play most things thrown at it with no screen tearing.

Terrific audio quality for the price when you can catch them on sale, otherwise they're a little pricy for what they are. Noise cancelling does work, but it's not at the same level as the more expensive and larger Sony WH1000-XM4s, making these a good choice for noise cancelling on a budget.
Two really nice things about these headphones are for the physical connectivity - they use USB-C for charging and they come with an analog cable for connecting to things with a headphone jack, like an iPad, older smart phone, portable CD player, computer system, and so on.
Do I recommend these? When you see them on sale, yes.

Terrific upgrade if you're still using a mechanical hard drive. PNY doesn't supply cloning software for this particular drive - most of the SSDs they make for that matter - but Google can find you a free solution in that department.
How much faster can a SSD make your computer? The laptop I upgraded is an AMD A6-7400 with 4GB of DDR4 RAM. The SSD alone improved boot times from about 5 minutes to desktop to about 45 seconds; I did upgrade the RAM, which took it down to about 20 seconds. If you have a computer made in the last 4-5 years and you want to get some more life out of it, this is the upgrade for you.

where is the micro phone? can it be used for a call center?
If you're doing call center work from home, these would work with your computer or phone as long as it has a single 3.5mm jack for both the ear pieces and the mic; most recent desktops and nearly every laptop made in the last 3 years has this sort of headset jack.

The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2″ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it’s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you’re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).
Do you need a special cable?
No. The TV Speaker connects to your TV (or other device) via HDMI cable using HDMI's ARC technology, optical cable which is included in the package, or an analog audio cable such as an 1/8th inch to 1/8th inch AUX cable or an 1/8th inch to RCA L/R cable.
HDMI and analog cables are not included in the package.

Insignia™ - Multidirectional Indoor HDTV Antenna - White
Only @ Best Buy Bring a huge array of entertainment into your home with this Insignia™ NS-ANT715 Multidirectional Indoor Antenna, which allows you to receive VHF and UHF signals on your HDTV and enjoy broadcasts in crystal-clear 720p or 1080i resolution.
I bought a Insignia Tv 50 inch,my question is why can't I get CBS channels on it,do I have to have a certain type of antenna and I bought it from you guys. .
Reception depends on distance from the channel's broadcast antenna. There's a website and an app called AntennaWeb.org that will show you exactly where the broadcaster's antenna is and what kind of antenna you need to receive that channel.
In the meantime, if that broadcaster has an app for Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, FireTV, or your smart TV's platform, you can at least watch the local news. LoCast might be available in your area as well.

Is this a standard sized keyboard?
For the most part, yes. The 6 keys above the arrow keys are a slightly different layout, but the keys are the same size you'd find on most any normal 101/104 key keyboard.

Will this keyboard combo work w/the 2017 MacBook Air
Yes, but you will absolutely need a USB-C to USB-A dongle for the adapter that comes in the package.
You'd be far better off to get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse instead, because of fewer things to deal with.
