I recently replaced my old smartphone and did not want to overspend on accessories.
This case provides good basic protection at an affordable price.
Putting the outermost rubberized (case) layer on did take more effort than expected, but not enough hassle to warrant a return.

I’m quite happy with this product. It is compact and includes a number of input options including micro-SD cards, USB drives, and conventional HDMI and AV inputs.
The storage/carry case is of good quality, not cheapish, and the projector and accessories all fit comfortably in it.
The image quality is good and the product provides ample value for the price.
The unit does run hot and the fan noise is noticeable, but not frustratingly loud by any means.

Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray] [1976]
Bondage dressed up as an art film
Customer Rating
3.0
Let me first say this is a solid Criterion Collection production. The film quality, book, and copious extras are in line with their other productions. My 3 Stars are based on this.
It’s good for a curiosity viewing, but not much else.
This movie does force me to reconsider my saying, “I’m open to watching just about anything.” Sadly, I found very little to like and absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie. It is simply sadomasochism masquerading as a deep art film. I made a point of watching this in one sitting so that I would not need to sit through it again. The movie says more about the creator’s inner turmoil and struggles more than anything else.
It is a difficult watch from the start, but takes it up a notch when you reach the chapter aptly titled “Circle of Feces”. Ugh yeah.
I would recommend watching the included interviews and extras; they attempt to explain Pier Paolo Pasolini’s work.

Works as expected and provides a cost-effective option for backing up files locally.
I use this product with Windows 10 Enterprise. I use this item to backup critical data and more specifically Virtual hard drives that are several terabytes in size. This of course takes several hours. This product works as advertised. I would buy it again or a higher capacity version of it.
I do wish this drive included a USB-C connector. Backing up several terabytes using USB 3.0 requires patience.

I bought a pair of these to replace my two Viewsonic VP2770-LED 27" monitors that were still running well after 7 and 8 years.
The pros are obviously the amount of available viewable space. The image quality (color range, brightness, resolution) are in line with what I expect from Viewsonic. The smallest fonts are crystal clear and professional software Adobe, Capture One, Autodesk, etc. look great and work well with this display.
Software (vDisplay Manager) included with the monitor further extends its functionality by allowing you to mix-and-match all of the video signals coming into the monitor.
The number (4) and variety of video-in connectors is a definite plus. I am able to run dual monitors from both my primary and secondary workstations using the DisplayPort and mini-DisplayPort.
The monitor audio-out jack provides excellent sound quality.
I groaned when reading “2-internal Speakers” in the Specifications, but have come to appreciate them. I have a server motherboard in my primary workstation and it lacks amenities like rear audio outputs; I was forced to use headphones until now. The monitor audio sounds exactly as described, like audio coming from the backside of internal monitor speakers. It is “good enough” when I need to hear sound without headphones. Mind you, the audio-out jack provides sound that is magnitudes superior to the internal speakers.

Mind you, the audio-out jack provides sound that is magnitudes superior to the internal speakers.
As in the past, this monitor includes respectable USB connector support.
I’m still using the included monitor stand which is top notch and will hold any vertical and rotational position it is set to.
The onboard monitor settings support a wide range of customizable settings as well as easily accessible presets. The only mild downside to this monitor is the placement of on-board monitor setting buttons. They are placed on the lower-right backside of the monitor. While I understand their placement from a design perspective, they are difficult to access when you have two monitors sitting side by side. You basically need to feel your way around for the buttons on the left monitor.
Having said that, I am happy with my purchases and expect to get 7-8 years out of these monitors. I would still have my 27” monitors if it weren’t for one bad DisplayPort on one monitor. The image quality never dropped off and I expect the same of my pair of VP3268-4K.

Shoah [Criterion Collection] [4 Discs] [Blu-ray] [1985]
A timeless important work….
Customer Rating
5.0
I am old enough to remember the original theater release of Shoah. I purchased this given that the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz has recently passed. This documentary is several and I do mean several hours long with captions for English language viewers. This documentary is definitely worth the effort needed to get through it all. Shoah is effective at humanizing the witnesses’ experiences through their own words. This work grows in importance as fewer and fewer survivors live to bare witness to the events in the extermination camps.
Lastly, the media quality is on par with other Criterion Collection restorations. It includes a 60 page booklet that is helpful for navigating through the many witness interviews which are organized into chapters.

I watched this movie based on Robert Egger’s (creator & director) work on The Witch. This is definitely a different type of film and will require the viewer to engage with what’s on screen. The film is stylistically impressive and simultaneously familiar and different from his previous work. All of the acting performances are solid. Please keep in mind this is not your typical movie, but definitely worth watching and exploring.

I have owned several Extreme 3D Pro Gaming Joysticks over the years and the quality and performance have remained steady over time. The external design hasn’t changed much, if at all, but functionally it’s pitch perfect. The software include works fine with gaming services such as Epic Games and Steam. This product provides great value for the money.

Broad City: The Complete Series
Consistently funny
Customer Rating

Broad City is a solid and consistently funny TV series. This show is a great break from the drudgeries of everyday life. The writing and dialog crisp and I enjoyed the guest appearances of other well-known comedians. Blu-ray is my preferred media, but I was pleasantly surprised and relieved the DVD image quality of this series is good and not a distraction to the on-screen action.

I enjoyed this movie. It is an entertaining middle-of-the-road type of action movie. If you are a fan of the Terminator franchise this movie should satisfy any cravings you have. The film is pretty good considering it is the 6th film in the series. It takes off pretty fast and respectable character development will keep you invested and entertained to the end.

I don't see any obstacles to you using an alternate microphone device on Windows 10. I have multiple mic options on my computer (see picture attachment) and all are select-able. The Logitech H390 is a simple device that requires no additional software. In my use of the H390, it has been well-behaved at all times.

Will this monitor fit in a 22" in space, i.e, can it be adjusted down on the stand to that height from the full height of 25"?
"Will this monitor fit in a 22" in space". No, not even close. The Viewsonic website Specifications for this monitor will provide a really good graphic with Width, Height, and Diagonal measurements.
"can it be adjusted down on the stand to that height from the full height of 25"?
If I understand your question, No. If you lower the monitor all the way down on the stand, you will have approximately 4 inches or 10 centimeters of clearance from the bottom edge of the monitor to your desktop.

Does it have built-in speakers?
Yes, the monitor has two internal speakers and the sound quality is adequate to good-enough. These are the only external speakers I have connected to my computers. Having said that, the volume control is quite responsive. If you turn the volume all the way up they are quite loud. The sound quality out of the audio-out [green jack] is superior.

Will this work in racing games as well as far cry games or first person shooter games?
I'm left-handed and have always had issues finding a good product for my gaming needs. I use it for first person shooter games such as Metro Exodus, Doom 2016, Zombie Army 4, the Quake and Rage (series). You simply map the keys to your game via a profile and you're set. You'll want to 'export' your profiles to avoid recreating them on every PC refresh.

Convert your home electrical system to an internet network with this NETGEAR Powerline 2000. It plugs into any outlet and accepts a network connection, and it lets you access up to Gigabit wired speeds in any room. This NETGEAR Powerline 2000 includes a standard outlet, so it doesn't even keep you from accessing electricity.
I have a 3000 Sq feet home with a electrical box that looks like has 2 sections (Sorry about possibly wrong terminology). My understanding the outlets need to be on the same box. How do I test that?
If all of your outlets go through the same fuse box, they should be able to "see" each other. The NETGEAR - Powerline 2000 + Extra Outlet has some built-in signal connection and quality indicators, so you'll know right away if there are any issues. The worse case scenario is that you have to return it. You can run the PowerLine connection tests without hooking up any of your computer or electronics to it.

This NETGEAR Powerline 2000 includes a standard outlet, so it doesn't even keep you from accessing electricity.
What protection does the Powerline 2000 have for surges or power spikes that might go to plugged in devices? Would separate surge protectors be required?
It is recommended, if not a requirement that Powerline equipment be connected directly to power line. This was the case with my previous D-Link equipment which lasted for 5 years and survived power outages, brownouts, and lightening storms. My residence only has 2-wires with no true ground. Both my NETGEAR/D-Link powerline equipment was/is connected to my DSL-2640B Gateway ADSL2/2+ Modem-Router Wireless-G Router and Motorola SB6190 Surfboard Cable Modem, neither of which show signs of any electrical or signal stress. I hope that helps.
