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.

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.

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.

Hisense - 55" Class U8 Series Mini-LED QLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV - (2023)
The Award-winning Hisense U8 Series Mini-LED TV just got even better. With Peak Brightness 1500 and more than double the local dimming zones as last year, along with Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision HDR, and Low Reflecton panel technology, the U8 delivers unmatched brightness, contrast and detail. And, with Dolby Atmos and an upgraded 50w 2.1.2 multi-channel audio system, the U8 creates an immersive cinema experience in your home. In additon, the U8 is compatible with the new Wifi 6E router protocol and includes a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner making the U8 virtually future-proof. With the Google TV OS and Hands-Free Voice Control, searching for and playing all your favorite content is simple and seamless. Just say “Hey Google”. The U8 also got more upgrades for the gaming enthusiast including a 144Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro for an enhanced gaming experience. 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.

Will not allow me to watch next gen dtv local channels. Keeps giving me “TV not supported???? What am I missing
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.
