The camera has been great so far but it is frustrating how little knowledge BestBuy employees have about BestBuy products. I asked specifically about the camera mounting system and the employee I talked with acted as if he knew the answer and was very confident that this camera had a standard 1/4" threaded mount. In fact, it does not. There are compatible mounts you can purchase but he assured me it had this in the box...it does not. Keep in mind, this was the camera "expert" who I had to ask around for and wait for him to have time for me.
Why are there "experts" in different BestBuy departments when those experts don't know (and then make up) answers about the products they are supposed to be experts in?

Works ok, wish Best Buy would honor their policies though and help their customers. Too much to ask for me I guess. As a M.2 drive, this drive works though.

Bought this for an external monitor for work. It has been great. I just use it for static images and writing code though, not gaming so I can't speak to its performance there.

Great looking monitor and it seems to work great. However, I did buy it for G-Sync. My RTX card sees it as a G-Sync compatible monitor, but I don't see any less tearing with it on than I did before. Not sure what is causing the problem though.

The components in this machine are great. The case itself is ok (as long as you don't want any CD drives installed) but the case fan is very very very loud. Seems like such a silly thing, I purchased a new fan for $15 and it quieted the system down dramatically without impacting the heat at all.

Worked great. Installed two CPUs and both are cooler and quieter than they were before. Does take some know-how to use this properly, but if that is not a problem for you, I would suggest this.

This device didn't actually do what I wanted. At least I have not been able to figure out how. It has 2 modes: AP, which is meant to have an ethernet cable to your router and then add another wifi network from there.
Second mode is the extender. In this mode, it get its signal over wifi and repeats that over both ethernet and wifi.
For me, all I wanted was to put a ethernet only device on my wifi network, I did not want to repeat the wifi signal, but could not figure out how to do that. Even worse, my wife's phone no longer worked over wifi around this device so I am not quite sure how the wifi repeating works.

I migrated away from Samsung and onto the google pixel. While there are a couple things about the Samsung I liked better, I am getting used to this. The price makes it very attractive to me. While I like having a smart phone, all the bells and whistles of a $1000 phone are useless to me. All they really serve are those who want others to know they spent $1000 on a phone. This phone does a good job (in my opinion) of keeping high end features but removing the cruft and keeping the price down. Unless you have to have wireless charging, I would fully recommend this phone. The quality of the phone is also great. I have recently moved and have twice now dropped this phone a on a cement basement floor. No cracks, works fine, in fact, I doubt you would even be able to tell I dropped it if you looked at it close.

I really wish people took time to design a product for more than themselves. This was designed by a young person with no thought put into anything but themselves and aesthetics. I bought this for my Mom who's got neuropathy. This means that she has a hard time feeling her fingers. While this remote works, the small size of the buttons makes it impossible for her to use this as a regular remote. Luckily, it allows her to turn on/off the system the way she wants it and then use other remotes for actually using the devices. The software design isn't bad, but the hardware design is short-sighted. It is too bad, if they did a good job with the physical design, she wouldn't need anything else.

This modem was fine, except I had issues with Comcast and this particular modem was not fully compatible with the gig service I got. Due to this I had to buy a new modem and Best Buy will no longer let me return this. The 1 star is due to Best Buy's short return policy. If I had known this, I would not have bought this early to be ready for my move.

where do I find my router password?
That is a tough question to answer. All depends on what router you have. I will say, you should know the answer to this question. No judgement here, you just really shouldn't run your router with a default password. That makes it really easy for hackers to find their way into your network. You don't need to be a network expert, just look for the model of your router (probably on the bottom, near the serial number) and google it with "default password" and you'll undoubtedly get a lot of pages explaining how to do what you want. There are many levels of security you can look into but the biggest "bang for the buck" by far, is changing the default password.
While you are at it, the second big thing you should look into is updating your router to the latest software. Security patches come out frequently and running the latest version is always worthwhile. Most routers make this really really easy. You click a button (something like "check for updates") and it does it all for you. Again, you don't need to be an expert to do this.

Have K750 solar; Can I obtain a duplicate USB unifying connector? I intend to operate two different computers not simultaneously.
You can get extra USB nubs. You can purchase a cheap mouse if you can't find one on eBay. Just make sure it has that Unifying transceiver symbol on it. I have connected multiple Logitech devices to a single PC (keyboard and mouse) with a single nub, but I have not tried connecting one keyboard to two PCs so I don't know for-sure if that will work. However, the USB nub is not uniquely paired to devices it ships with, they are generic.
