I've used Kasa plugs and lightbulbs for a while and have enjoyed a problem-free experience during the course of ownership over the last couple of years (6 lightbulbs and 4 plugs). Naturally, I leaned toward Kasa switches if I were to ever use smart switches because of this experience.
I bought two of these to control lighting in a bathroom These switches weren't much more than non-connected dimmers I was also considering. I ended up going with these since I'd be able to make adjustments to dimming calibration through the Kasa app, instead of needing to adjust dimming calibration manually on the non-connected dimmers I considered.
Some of the nice features you wouldn't think about with these include LED indicators that dimly glow, showing you were the switches are in a dark room; indicators showing you where you're at in terms of dimming level on the switch; connectivity with Google and Alexa; and smart phone app functionality that covers lighting scheduling, timers, and all the configuration functionality you'd need.
The biggest thing you need to know about these switches is you absolutely need a neutral wire in the switch box. If you do not have this, you'll need to contact a qualified electrician to fix that for you. These will not function without a neutral line.
Also, just a recap of what comes in the box:
Kasa HS220 dimmer switch
2 wire nuts
"Screw-free" wall plate (standard decora style and the screws hide under the wall plate)
Basic instructions
All in all, I'm happy with this purchase. I did have to exchange a switch because it was DOA, but that sort of thing happens and the replacement worked fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to put into a friend of mine’s laptop as the mechanical hard drive in if was failing. Told her for not much more than a regular hard drive, she could have something that would make that laptop of hers feel brand new.
The laptop it went into, btw, is a Toshiba with a Sandy Bridge Pentium G-series chip.
After using Ubuntu to partition the drive to EFI and the included (downloadable) disk cloning software to move the contents of the old drive to this one, it was a matter of popping 5 screws on her laptop, swapping the drive mechanisms, and putting everything back together. From start to finish, it took me 2 hours (because the internal drive was very slow).
Boot times dropped from 2 minutes to 15 seconds from a cold boot. The Windows 10 1809 update took about 30 minutes to complete, including download over the laptop’s wireless N connection. Most apps opened instantly. Overall, it wasn’t much slower than my wife’s much newer Core i3-7100u laptop with a similar SSD in it.
The only thing that would have made this easier is if the drive was formatted as GPT instead of MBR. Otherwise, great product.

The pros:
These disposable shave heads last longer than 5 shaves and shave EVERYWHERE you want them to. They also won't cut you unless you really try to cut yourself.
The cons:
As previously mentioned, accuracy and speed aren't strong suits to the OneBlade system. With practice, however, both come quickly.

I bought this specifically to add Bluetooth audio streaming to my wife's car. It was on Deal of the Day, so I at least didn't burn all that much on it. But I'm slightly disappointed.
Aluratek advertises this as a Bluetooth audio receiver. To me, that means this only deals with Bluetooth's audio profiles, and not Bluetooth's hands-free profiles. I don't need HFP and its related things because the wife's car already has hands-free phone capabilities.
This device connects with hands-free along with audio streaming.
I missed the return window, but I've found another use for this device since I have speakers with aux-in capabilities but no Bluetooth. I'm still disappointed about it being misrepresented as a receiver.

For the fans, it's worth the purchase to get the SB edition because of the artwork in it. If you have to see it now but don't want to buy it, rent it through your favorite digital movie reseller. For everyone else, you might be better off to wait until it hits a subscription streaming service.

I have reviews up for both the Google Home Mini Smart Light Kit and the C by GE 2-pack, so you can read my thoughts about the bulbs in those reviews. If you already have a C by GE smart light system in your home and you want to add additional bulbs, these are for you. If you're looking to start using smart lighting in your home, this isn't the smart light system you're looking for.

(Note that I only got these because they were part of a deal Best Buy had going with the Google Home Mini Smart Light Kit. I've scored the bulbs as if I paid the full retail value for them, however.)
C by GE is a Bluetooth-connected smart light system. Because of this, it has limits you wouldn't experience with Wifi-connected or hub-connected smart light systems that compete with the C bulbs.
First, the good - these bulbs have three options for connectivity in your home:
If you don't have a Google Home device, you can download the C by GE app and configure them to work that way. This allows you to set timers for the bulbs to come on and turn off, as well as manually control the bulbs when they're in your phone's Bluetooth range. Of course, setting them up to operate this way prevents you from using more than one device to control them and you won't be able to control them while you're away from home (or possibly across the house).
If you do have a Google Home device, you can pair the bulbs by using the Google Home app on your iPhone or Android device. Once set up, the bulb establishes a Bluetooth connection with your Google Home device and you can manually control the bulbs with either your voice or the Google Home app. Unfortunately, this doesn't allow you to set a timer to control when the bulbs automatically come on or power down, but since you can control them from anywhere when set up this way, you'll be able to manually turn on the lights on your way home at night with either the Google Home app or Google Assistant and your voice. Note that you won't be able to pair these bulbs with Alexa using this method.
GE also sells what's called the C-Reach hub, which will put these bulbs at a price point that can be compared to premium smart light systems (both hub and wifi-connected). Unless you have both Google Home and Alexa devices, this isn't worth the cost and I can't recommend buying it for the C system.
These bulbs also form a Bluetooth mesh network, so if you have multiple C-life bulbs in your home, you won't necessarily be out of range because of their connection-hopping ability.
Now for the bad:
Bluetooth connectivity is the limiting factor with these light bulbs. WiFi options aren't much more expensive and are far more flexible. Even some hub-connected systems aren't much more expensive overall, and their central hub connects to WiFi so you can control them anywhere without a Google Home Mini or an optional - and expensive - hub.
If you have a large home, you may not be able to connect and control your bulbs from across the house if they're Bluetooth connected.
Resetting the lightbulb back to factory is a chore. It's not something that can be done either in the Google Home app or the C by GE, and compared to other smart lights, it's more difficult than it should be. (This deducted a star by itself.)
Being that these are Bluetooth bulbs, they're overpriced.
All in all, I can recommend these for apartment dwellers who aren't concerned with always-connected lightbulbs and want something with a well-known name brand, or for people who have a Google Home device and can get these bulbs on sale. As part o a Google Home Mini Smart Light Kit, this is also not a bad deal as you're getting a bulb for less than half it's retail price that way and you'll be able to internet connect it. For everyone else, however, look elsewhere. You can find better, more functional bulbs for around the same price.

And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85” screen size.
 

There is a switch next to the microphone at the bottom of the TV in the center. Is the switch an analog switch that completely disables the microphone or is it more of a "soft" power off? I do not want to use voice commands and I have privacy concerns.

When you're going through the TV setup, you have the option of not enabling the built-in Google Assistant far-field microphone system (also known as hands-free). Android TV also allows you to completely disable all microphone access within the OS.

Can you connect the U8K to multiple (two,2) Bluetooth devices at one time? Kids sleeping...

You could share a pair of TWS earbuds, but you'd lose half the audio. A pair of headphones that allow pairing of a second pair of headphones would work, but those are rare.

Your best bet would be finding a Bluetooth receiver (like this one - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/aluratek-bluetooth-wireless-audio-transmitter-and-receiver-for-tv-and-other-audio-devices-black/5715709.p?skuId=5715709 - which works pretty well), a headphone splitter (like this right here - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-3-5mm-stereo-splitter-cable-black/4399300.p?skuId=4399300 - that would plug into that receiver box), and getting two pairs of wired headphones or earbuds.

do you need a 48 GPBS hdmi cable or a 18GPBS hdmi cable for the best picture on the U8K hisense 55 inch tv

It depends on the source device. HDMI 2.1 devices generally require the 48GBPS cable for full feature support, like 4k/120 with HDR video and varible refresh rate. 18GBPS cables can support 4k/120 without HDR and 4k/60 with HDR.

Series X, PS5, computer with a recent AMD, Intel, or NVidia GPU, home theater receiver with HDMI 2.1 4k/120 or 8k/60 support, or Apple TV 4k generation 3? Get the 48GBPS cable and use HDMI 3 or 4.

I use only ether-net connections.I need to know if the WiFi setting can be turned off and not emit any EMF radiation. What kind of signal does the remote use? I can not have any Bluetooth EMF radiation.

Outside of non-Smart TV sets, you won't find a TV where you can disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios completely.

You must be connected to the internet to watch NextGen ATSC 3.0 channels, as most broadcasters have implemented DRM on their broadcasts. Also, make sure the TV firmware is up-to-date before doing a channel search.

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.
 

will it work with windows 10 pc?

You could make this work with a Windows 10 PC in several ways:

1) You could use the Bluestacks Android emulator to run the Eufy app.
2) You could set the cameras up to run with RTSP video output instead of the standard setup they use and use an RTSP viewer to watch them.
3) You could run an RTSP server on your PC.
4) If you have a subscription to their cloud service, you can view the cameras that way.

You will still need an Android or iOS device to setup and maintain the camera, however.

When it senses motion and records for the 20 or 30 seconds... is there a delay before it will start recording again? Current cam has a long delay that causes things to be missed that could be beneficial.

I don't have issues with long delays between recordings. In fact, there are several nights where the deer in my neighborhood will trigger the recording and alert 5 or 6 times within a minute. I've even had blocks of triggered recording that were 20 minutes long as various wild animals would shuffle past by house.
