Grab a Crayon and make your mark!

Crayon uses Apple Pencil technology including Scribble for a seamless writing experience that's as natural as pencil and paper. Need a thicker or thinner line? Just tilt.

Not an apple pencil but definitely quality.

The only thing disappointing was that the Knights of Ren weren’t fleshed out more in terms of story.

Why spend more than twice the price for each individual film on a digital service when you can get them both with discs and digital codes?

If you're wanting fast charging on an iPhone 8 or later, then I can justify spending the money on an Apple-branded cable. If you don't care about fast charging, this is the cable for you. It's cheap but it works great; it's already survived longer in my wife's car than most standard USB cables do (and even the tougher cable that was in there).

This was too much of a performance detriment on slower systems (Pentium N4000 and Core 2 e7400) that I own. It did zero for my Mac and my other PC that I installed it on that the inbuilt protection on both OSes didn't already do.
There are better solutions out there.

...but this thing is pricy for what it is at its regular price. While it performs great for me (I'm between 9 and 22 miles from my local channel broadcast antennas and I get a solid signal, even during inclement weather), it may not perform that well for you. Make sure you place it high on a shelf or on the wall so you don't interfere with it; I found when I placed it lower that moving around could affect the most distant channel I receive.

Emphasis on little though - I have a big hand and it's uncomfortable for anything outside of surfing and the basics of productivity. Not worthy trying to play games with.

I had bought a netbook with an internal 32GB eMMC storage device for my kid, as his computing needs aren't all that great. However, what my wife and I didn't take into account is he likes to watch movies when we're on the go, and 32GB doesn't hold very many movies.
I saw this on sale and grabbed it. Works great and holds about 60 movies in a mix of HD and SD, so his entertainment options never run out.

...and for the money, this set can't be beat. While it's not the mechanical goodness most people tend to like best, or the smoothness of the pre-butteryfly mechanism keyboards Apple made, it's still a good keyboard - quiet and comfortable for extended periods of time.

So I won’t cover performance or build quality but it has both. Instead, my mention is about using this drive in a project that’s space limited.
I bought a Dell Wyse 5010 with the full intention of using it as the base to a homemade arcade emulator cabinet. The storage it uses is non-standard, however - essentially a SSD without a case over its components. After looking at photos on the internet, I took the dive and bought one.
Saying it fits nearly perfectly is an understatement. The PCB is internally half the size of the case its in. What this meant for me is the bare PCB would fit perfectly inside that little case.
Needless to say, if you want to use a thin client as an emulation machine, this is the drive to get.

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.

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.
