Your AirTag can’t keep track of your valuables if it’s lost or broken. Made of durable silicone materials, these cases fit securely around your AirTags so you won’t lose them while on the go. A spring-loaded metal ring with a wide opening easily attaches to a backpack, purse, suitcase and more, letting you keep track of your items. A low-profile design keeps the AirTag out of your way, and the black color enclosure blends with your other accessories for a subtle look. They come in a pack of two, keeping a couple of your AirTags protected or letting you keep an extra case on hand. Now you’ll have one less thing to worry about with the Insignia NS-ATC1BKX4 Key Ring Case for Apple AirTag (2-Pack).

Pretty solid, and the ring is large enough to put both car keys and your necessary house keys on.
The silicone feels super-soft but holds the AirTag well.

These have proven to be pretty solid drives for me in older systems. While I'm not a fan of PNY hiding the all-important TBW rating (which shows you how much data can theoretically be written to the drive before it starts failing), I've yet to have one fail on me after all these years.
Big props for the consistent 500+ MBPS reads and writes though. A lot of competing SSDs, including models that do have the DRAM cache, aren't able to write as fast.

These are super solid, but for the price paid, they should be. The UWB technology, when paired with an iPhone 11 or later (sorry iPhone SE users) makes pin-pointing your stuff super easy, a far superior experience when compared to other mainstream Bluetooth-only trackers. The finish is nice - white plastic and polished stainless steel, and they do survive a spilled glass of water or being in the rain.
The only real negative is these don't natively work with Android devices. While there are Android and multiplatform alternatives, they just don't work as well.

PNY - CS900 120GB Internal SSD SATA
Count on high-speed storage performance with this 120GB PNY solid-state drive. Its 515MB/sec. read and 490MB/sec. write speeds let you multitask efficiently, and it's up to 30x more robust than hard drives, ensuring durability and data protection.
I recently purchased a macbook pro mid 2012. Would this SSD work for this model or is there a better SSD that y'all would recommend. I am planning on doing some mildly intensive editing on this laptop.
As long as the MacBook Pro model you’re using has SATA and not M.2 or soldered storage, you’d be fine. I would recommend something larger than 120GB though.

Hello. Is it compatible with MAcbook black early 2008?
Yes it is. However, because of how macOS 10.7 and earlier handle TRIM, you’ll need to Google how to enable that feature so your SSD doesn’t fail prematurely.

It does, but my picture stutters and my audio quality is garbled. I'd recommend other devices for Disney+ over Roku.

Does a charger come with the Geeni door bell ring
While this video doorbell does have a USB micro port that's useful for initial setup or troubleshooting when you experience hardware or network issues, the Geeni Doorscreen relies on power from your existing wired doorbell button. It requires a 16 or 24 volt power supply rated for at least 10VA. 90% of mechanical doorbells will run this device.

PNY - 480GB Internal SSD SATA
Secure your data on this 480GB PNY solid-state drive. With 550MB/sec. read speeds and 500MB/sec. write speeds, it lets you transfer large media files quickly and hassle-free, and its SATA III interface ensures it's compatible with most computers. This PNY solid-state drive has no moving parts, so it reduces noise for a quieter environment.
Would this HD need a mount/rack for a standard sized desktop case? For reference the case is "Corsair Graphite Series 230T Orange with Window Compact Mid-Tower Computer Case (CC-9011038-WW)"
If your case doesn’t have SSD mounting spots, then yes.

C by GE - A19 Bluetooth Smart LED Light Bulb with Google Assistant/Alexa/HomeKit (4-Pack) - White Only
Create customized illumination for your home with this 4-pack of C by GE smart light bulbs. The free iOS or Android app lets you set automatic on and off schedules, and compatibility with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa supports the voice-activated operation. Control these 9.5W C by GE smart light bulbs individually, or group them together for simultaneous brightness adjustment. The C by GE bulb connects directly to Google Home devices via Bluetooth with no additional hub or bridge required to provide quick and easy setup.
Do these lightbulbs burnout and have to be replaced? And if they do, how long do they last
LED lighting - smart or otherwise - fail by one of the two following ways:
1) The LED modules or the LED driver module experiences a sudden failure. Early LED lighting had this issue due to overheating. While not as common, modern LED lighting fails because part of the LED driver - for lack of a better term - pops. This can happen at any time for any reason, but is most likely to occur during the warranty period.
2) The LED modules slowly dim over time due to materials within slowly experiencing a chemical reaction (caused either by heat or electricity), either in the diode material itself or a phosphor used on the LED to help with light color and quality. This generally takes a period of years, even if the LED is on 24/7. (BTW, unless it's purpose-built to run 24 hours a day, I don't recommend LEDs in constant-on situations.)

We have a google home and a google mini. Do I need anything else.for these bulbs to work in my home?
Nope. Just make sure you pair them using the Google Home app and not the C by GE app if you want to be able to control them outside of your home.
