I bought this scanner so I could digitize some old family color slides. It works great and I could be no more pleased.

This new router replace a 7-year old Netgear that was getting long in the tooth. Since we’ve had it for about 2 weeks, the near daily disconnect with our WIFI has stopped completely. We love it! Note that my wife and I still use old iPhone X’s as we’re still waiting on our delayed new iPhone 15’s, so they need all the help they can get! Our WIFI-only iPads benefit too though, and they’re not very old.

Still No iPhone 15 Pro Max & No New Promise Date

Not really being fair here, but Best Buy asked me to review my new iPhone 15 Pro Max purchase even though I still don’t have it 4 days after it was promised, with no promise date in sight. So, so far I’m not very happy about that and feel the need to voice my dissatisfaction. Of course it’s no doubt Apple’s fault. Maybe it’s due to all the early negative reviews and press about the battery overheating in the Pro models? Somehow we believe batteries won’t overheat during fast charging when heat dissipation is compromised. Makes you want to buy a government mandated EV!

Glad I bought an Apple Watch for the first time. It’s been nearly 20 years since I used a wrist watch, so buying one was a challenge for me from a “need” perspective. After using it for a few weeks I’ve found it’s nice to not have to pull out my iPhone to see what the time is, and the fitness and sleep monitoring features are a nice novelty. I have to charge it once a day though.

Not happy at all with this Weedwacker hair trimmer. It doesn’t seem cut anything, and if it does what’s left is too long. I went back to my old trimmer than is AA-battery powered and slow, but at least it cuts! I can actually move the cutting head from my old trimmer to this trimmer’s rechargeable battery handle, but the thing is then so noisy I about go deaf trimming my ear hair! I’d take it back but I threw out the packaging. So much for grand expectations.

I’ve been shaving with a razor for nearly fifty years because my first experience with a triple-headed Norelco electric shaver was less than satisfying. Now that I’m retired, the ease of simple daily refreshes with an electric shaver was too tempting to pass up. This new shaver by Philips has so far, after over three weeks of using, exceeded my expectations by a mile. I’m very happy with it, although I suppose I’ll need to buy the cleaning liquid jars once a month to keep it well cleaned and lubricated.

All I can say is this battery backup is working so far. I bought it to help protect my WI-FI and cable modem from nuisance power outages (lights flickering, etc.) that frequent my neighborhood from time to time, resulting in intermittent loss of both WI-FI and TV streaming from the internet. Occasionally I still need to reboot the cable modem because my cable provider is incompetent, but the number of Wi-Fi interruptions has been reduced markedly by this battery backup.

It’s A Surge Protected AC Plug Strip

Not a lot to say really. It’s a surge protected AC plug strip. It’s doing its job. However, one thing I learned from a Best Buy employee that I didn’t know or realize before: with every electrical surge the life of the actual “surge protection” is reduced by the amount of the power surge. So if you live in an area where there are a lot of lightning surges, you’d best consider buying a new one about every year. The sad thing is there is no way to determine if your surge protector can protect against the next power surge. Seems like something for an electrical engineer to design into these things.

Does this mouse have a chip to plug into chrome book, does it need one?

Yes, you must plug the little “dongle” into a USB port in order for the wireless to work, just like you’d have to do if you had a wired mouse.

What is the latency (ms response time) of this mouse?

I don’t know, but it’s fast enough for my gaming needs. I’m sure one can look up the actual spec on the Internet. In settings you can set up to five different movement speeds, how fast the mouse pointer follows the mouse movement. A switch on the side allows one to cycle through your presets. I’ve got three settings, fast, slower, and slower still (but not too slow). There is also a switch on top to toggle between two battery power consumption levels. I use the high settings in both areas for my gaming needs. I also am able to use this mouse just fine without a mouse pad, which I don’t like to use.
