Not the prettiest but definitely the best case made for protection. I'm a contractor and phone stays on my hip all day onyhe included holster with belt clip. Moving materials using tools, sheetrock dust and even washing off paint...nothing bothers it. Even landed on it when a car hit me on my Harley. Screen protector shattered hip it was on broke...but phone was good as new!

Great laptop. Fastest I've owned. Bought to be able to run cadd for work. But frankly this does it all. Good battery life. And at this price point you really can't beat it. All the bells and whistles.

As a contractor and someone who uses pricey cell phones (over priced!) I always use an otter box case and screen protector. It's all that saved my phones from being on my hip at work. But best of all if you pay the 8$ to have best buy put it on It's warranty is forever. Scratch or crack take it in and they just charge it for you at no cost. Best deal going as i go through at lest 3 a year. As to the glass itself i was broadsided on my Harley flew 20 feet and landed o. My hip on the phone. Shattered the screen protector (and broke hip) but did It's job...not a Scratch on the actual phone screen. THAT'S a premium screen protector!

I upgraded from the less expensive active to this active 2 inorder to gain the phone and messaging ability. Works great without additional service from just bluetooth. Gained a few health sensors but if you don't need the phone ability go with the lesser expensive model as the features are nearly identical otherwise though the 2 has a slightly larger face 44mm vs. 40 which makes for easier use. Battery life is good as well. Don't even think about not adding a screen protector as the faces scratch easily.

I loved this phone case and bought it by default as it was only available for the s20fe when I made the purchase. Liked the ser through aspect if it especially. But I'm a contractor and needed something with a belt clip as this would fall out of my pocket so changed to an otter box. Have since added the galaxy active 2 so no longer need phone on me when working so wish I'd kept this case.

Great smart wstch for the price. Actually went through 2 as battery wouldn't keep a charge on the first. But best buys took care of it and there was no problem with the second. Still I ended up upgrading to the active 2 as I wanted to be able to use the phone and messaging feature that wasn't available on this watch. If you don't need/want that feature stay with this one it does EVERYTHING else and then some. For a lot less $$.

Massive. Fast and quiet. Not ssd speeds but have found for just storage of documents photos and archives of data that speed isn't as essential to us as size and longevity so this 4 teg unit met all the needs at a substantially cheaper cost. We added it to an ibuypower gaming rig that came with a 500gig SSD giving us the best of both worlds. Caught it on sale so win win.

Car had decent stereo for 20 years old, I thought. Really got this upgrade solely for the bluetooth hands free phone capability which works flawlessly just as the newer factory installed units but honestly the sound quality blew us away. The install was free with the purchase and the job too notch. Unit met our expectations and them some. One note there is no user documentation for all the varied features and it's not at least for us 65 year olds "intuitive "...had to download them from Kenwood.

I have a relatively expensive phone and am a contractor who works with it on my hip six days a week. The second day I noticed pits and gouges in the screen protector that came on the phone. Because of allowing best buys personell to put the upgraded protector on it's guaranteed forever simply take it in if it mars in any way. Cost $8 to get it done and have that security. ...and the upgraded protector does its job well. Not a scratch since the installation.

This NETGEAR Gigabit unmanaged switch helps businesses cost effectively expand their network to Gigabit speeds and high port counts.

This switch is energy-efficient, built to last, and rigorously tested to provide the reliability businesses need. 802.1p traffic prioritization and jumbo frame support allow for seamless integration with sophisticated networks.
 

Is this switch compatible with a mesh router (Google Home)? Will it have any negative effects on it? Thanks

No problem at all. I use it with mesh router and alexa. The switch goes between the modem and tge first unit of the mesh leaving you the extra ethernet units at that point which i use fot 2 computers a lg smart tv and a PS5 with no problems faster and takes a lot of bandwidth weight off the wifi.

Why do they call it wireless when you still have to plug it into a wall socket before you can use it ?

Because it has an app that allows you to monitor via your phone any area the Camara covers and notifies you when motion is detected. The "wire" is just to power the device.
