for many years now ,, using HR tax software lets me complete my Fed and State in a few hours ,, where if you try to do it manually it will take you days reading writing calculating ... the tax filing experience is so complicated you can't do it manually ,, and i will never use a tax advisor who would then know how much i make ,,, it's private ..

the selling point for this was longer usb-c cable which i only have short ,, 2nd selling point is the power handling ? 100w? oh oh it must be a thicker inner cable in order for that to happen ... of course ,, but you have no specs to know ,,, this has faster data speeds ? how does that happen? well let me say this ... first this charges my samsung s23 way faster than the cheep cable i had ... and i thought how is that ... it actually charges as fast as my 18 watt charger ,,, where using my cheep cable on the pc it takes hours and hours ... is there any electronics in this cable ?? i say no way ,,, it just a cable ... but it a bigger cable ,,, yea that's tha reason ... and if that is true ,,, then it must be faster data trans too and bigger wattage handler too,, hmmm but i canna tell ,,, but i must believe in good stuff happens

The advertisement claims the complete accessories, but the actual package is missing a couple accessories, blade oil and cleaning brush. I returned it and got another one from a local BestBuy and same issue. Why the package is not as advertised?
the one i purchased ,, all the accessories were in a sealed clear plastic bag ,, if you get a box with all loose accessories not in a sealed bag ,, i guess you now know what ..

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??
it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

Aspherical lens elements ensure less distortion in the corners of the image without affecting the centers, and a continuous f/2.8 aperture means this lens is fast. Rapid autofocus ensures this full-frame Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens quickly locks onto your subject.
Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.
if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..
if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...
if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

Double your camera's battery life without adding a lot of bulk with this Canon battery grip. Vertically positioned controls offer easy access to the camera's shutter release and AF controls. Compatible with the Mark IV DSLR camera, this Canon battery grip offers room for up to two Li-ion battery packs.

Insignia™ - 9' Extension Power Cord
Charge small appliances with this Insignia extension cord. Its 9-foot length lets you run the lightweight cable around the room for versatile placement, and the three grounded outlets provide extra charging points. This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say
you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
