after seeing this as a DOD ,, i got this and only used it once ,, but what a difference --- if i just use the usb port on the car ,, it will take hours and hours to fully charge - as my phone showed .. ha ,, after plugging this in ,, it may take less than an hour to more than get enough of a charge to run your phone .. for the rest of the day ..
a lot easier to just keep this in the car ,, than carrying the other home chargers everywhere you go ..

after getting a new and new tech current tv and new bluray 4k players ,,, they have a single RCA audio connector on them ... so i bought this set to play with ... and just connected it to my receiver and it didn't work .. well then i did not know ,, did not read ,, did not research it ... until i finally got a digital to analog converter and hooked it up .. and it worked .. but the reality of this type of cable is a lot more simple .. after i investigated what this is ...
so if you continue to read this my review ... here is a tip .. this cable is not that generally different with just any other cheep RCA connector cable you have around already ... it is just a single center wire and sleeve wire ,, which is just 2 wires for a signal to be carried ...
the only diference with this digital audio cable is the shielding is better ,,, so you would have less or no chance of interference with your audio ... which is why it cost more as a most simple and easiest why to describe this .. but of course there is more tech too ,,, but you have to research that yourself now ..

i bought this as a deal of the day $20 plus got more off with my BB rewards ... so price was a pretty good deal that BB made me buy this , ha ... i originally had another brand ,, and it worked and didn't work ... but then i didn't read up on why ,, i just hooked it up .... and then left it .. so you see in my photo now both audio converters that i have ..
and this time as of now ,, i spent the time and effort to play and test and see how this is and researched how these things work .. and now i found that both converters that i have ,,, each work just fine and as designed ... which really just connects the audio with different connectors all together as a pass-thru ...
now if you continue to read my review here ,, i will now give you tips ,, first ,, new tv and new bluray players and 4k players ,,, etc. can give you great sound with digital w/surround ... and of course your old audio receiver can't play that ... so you need to reset your tv or player to put out PCM audio ,,,, which is just 2 channel audio and not the multi-channel audio ... and these converters will work great ...when you switch to PCM ,, it just takes all the multi 5.1 7.1 etc .. and pass all channels combined into just 2 channels left and right for your old receiver ..
i can go into more on audio quality and types ,, but you now need to research that yourself ...so my next tip is to help all you who may think it does not work with your system .. so this is what i easily see or hear when i first just hooked it up .... and what i describe will be very basic simple ,,, if you are getting static and noise out of your stereo system with the converter ,, it will likely be your tv output or player is putting out a digital audio signal ,, thus the noise static and not audio ... if you then reset your tv-player to output PCM audio ,,, i bet it will then work ... and if you donna hear anything ,, that means there is no audio signal being passed by the converter ..

i been using this for a few days now and gotten really good results every time ,, but the best thing is the ease of cleaning the removable plates .. by just brushing it in a rinse,,,
and then my batch of batter that i make normally is just the purfffect amount to fill a full plate to cook ... i swear that my life is so much easier and relaxing than making with my old smaller waffle maker or pancakes ..
here's at tip for reading my review ,, use a small metal cup to put cold butter and place on top of it while heating up and coooooking ,, to melt ,, wayway better than puttin cold butta on your fresh coooked ..
here's a 2nd tip ,, did you read and see the reviewer who stated there is no rubber tip on the back footing ,,, ha ,, he's right ,, cusinart should be ashame to not have it and be cheep ,,, so i use scotch tape on the back legs and then filled it with silicone pass the leg height and then use a razor to trim so the sharp plastic back legs donna get you ...

i bought this for the physical sim only to use as an adapter.. ATT has been telling me my old flipper phone 3g is not agonna work next year ... so i finally got a smartphone .. but the old 3g uses a standard size ,,, so when i went to ATT store they just cut it down to nano size .. and put it in my new .... but then i realized turning on my old phone ,, i can't access all my contacts .. and of course ,, i can't fit the nano cut sim back in ...
so this $1 deal here let me put the sim back in my old phone ... and of course ,,, it worked like a charm .. . .and i can now migrate back and forth from old to new and back ,and whenever i want .. so i must give this a 5 star to resolve my problem perfectly ... oh oh and maybe down the road ,, i may subscribe to simple moblie if they have a better plan ..

i have the Asus usb-ac68 and it has been working great for a few years that i had it .. Well i just happen to have found the pce-ac88 and this is the first time i seen one with this many antennas .. so i decided to get this .. and now it has freed up a usb port on my desktop ...too
so i will now use the ac68 on my laptops which i expect to now connect wireless better and faster and when traveling i will be able to connect to hotpots way better than with the internal factory laptop wireless.. .
i always have bought wireless adapter with external antenna and on a cable for more flexibility to move it to get your best signal and transfers speeds .. ha the more the antenna you got ,, the better it is ,, i say .. .
and lastly,, having used the new ac88 on my desktop for a few weeks now ,,, it has been working flawlessly and fast ..

after looking all over for something to protect a mucho big money dollar investment of a smart phone .. . this looked perfect ,,and when i search just the BB listing of cell phone cases ,, sadly ,, they all look useless for any protection and dropping it ..
so search looking out of the box i found this ,, at first the specs of this case may would if not fit my phone ?? ,, but it was close .. so i bought it and my phone fits .. note 20 that is 6.9 inches .. check out my photo it looks like it wonna fit but it does ..
and the softness of the case ,, and extra padding thickness of this case will ,, i bet absolutely provide much better drop protection .. way better than a note 20 case made for a note 20 ,, and at the lowest price to a note 20 case .. and i can attach a lanyard for my neck or belt ..
there may be trade off in bulk and size, , and blocking signals ,, but it is secondary to me ,, and when if i pull it out to use ,, it will all just come together and work fine for me .. and samsung shulda molded a holder hole to attach a lanyard ,, why they all donna ,, is a mystery .. to me ...

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 ..

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 ..

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
