When in the age of gender benders . . . not trying to be political here. But everybody always needs that little something extra to make a hook up, right? The picture was misleading; it looks like you a female/male USB-C connector but, no, it's wired to the unit. I needed the female out for my set up. So it took an Amazon visit to get a female-female to complete my need.
Other than that, having the video/data punch that I needed, it's working just as designed. A little pricey but it does the trick.

About 15 years ago, I was getting carpal tunnel syndrome frequently so I needed a change. Enter the Logitech Trackball line up. No CTS since then. I've the wired up to the latest MX Ergo wireless. I dropped back down to this model since the more expensive one has more buttons that I never used except when I accidentally pushed them! Good trackball but I don't need all those buttons. But they may be great for anyone who does like and use them.
The biggest "drawback" is getting use to the mouse/trackball difference. In my case, it's a "never going back" to mouse . . . ever. I like it but it may not be for everyone.

If you have a computer, expansion is always a day away! Since I like to tinker with a lot of programs, my 500GB 980EV is still doing the job but I'm down to about 100GB free and playing around with new stuff. So to be safe for space, I cloned and upgraded to this as the boot drive. Working well so far.

A very convenient way to clone my existing 500GB boot drive to a 1TB to make up space limitations. 500 was fine but I recently started playing around with the Artificial Intelligence which tends to use a lot of Python with upgrades and other backend support progs and some items insist on C: for whatever reasons. Most of my data resides on separate hard drives for the AI models and such but this gives me headroom on my boot drive.
This can also be used somewhat like thumb drive with an NVMe card (which tends to offer higher capacities. It's easy to load a card, too. Just make sure your heatsink tape (provided for one card) is installed. It can get warm.

I replaced a similar (different brand) chair with the reclining feature and the footrest because the welds had broke on one side losing the arm and recently the seat tubing went also. So I found this one for about $75 more than I previously paid. The Arrozi does have a flat wooden seat base which may be more durable. The color is nice but full black would have been fine. Time will tell if the arm strength holds up; just held with two bolts per arm which--fully tightened-- still seems a little wobbly. They do control the recline so maybe that's why. I might have to move up to the $400 range for more beefiness if this one doesn't last for the two year stretch like the other one.

I consider Logitech a necessity. It alleviates the "one inch too short reach" problem depending on where you need/want to put it. "Cut the cable!" Insert the Logitech dongle and place your kybd/mouse where it's most convenient.
Early on, battery life on wireless products was an issue, but Logitech's refinement has alleviated the issue. Efficient now! No more every 30 days . . . maybe 6 months or more plus. The other Logitech compact offerings in combo or separately work just as well if you have less room, too;

We've been upgrading our office workstations for a company of under 10 people with these units. The Ryzen 7 combined with the 1TB SSD gives a competent platform for the daily duties in the office at a comfortable price point. I have made the past mistake of trying to get away with $4-500 which tend to be under powered even for simple tasks while running our security camera software (web-based with the demands of bandwidth vs. video sharing with the RAM) but so far 16GB is holding up for daily tasks. I can always add an 8GB video card (<$100) if demand grows. But for now, it works well.
The biggest bugaboo with most off-the-shelf brands is uninstalling all the promotional crapware/software BEFORE I put a) mostly an HP) box in service. Then you get to the Microsoft Account headache on everything but that's not HP's fault for that. Take your time and clean her up a bit and she'll run just great in your office.

Is this 2 more batteries as shown (with another one powering the drone) or just 2 total in pkg? I assume the latter. Nice deal either way but 3 would be excellent!

This iLive wireless audio system picks up clear AM/FM signals for convenient radio station selection.
How long are the speaker wires and gauge? Can you add on speakers?
16 or 18 gauge. Add? No. Only two slots. However, the speakers on this unit are bad. They are removable, though, sliding up and off. My old system was failing in the tuner section. So, I snipped the speaker connectors off the new speakers and spliced them on the old speakers and the difference was amazing. Otherwise I was going to return this unit. Worked out with better sound!

Will this CD player connect to Bose Wave Radio? Or are the accompanying speakers only choice for audio?
At the risk of sounding rude, if you have a Bose System you shouldn't even be thinking about this. I've had old pocket transistor radios that sounded better than this!! I bought this unit to replace our small showroom shelf system ($99 when I bought it 10 years ago) for low level atmosphere music. The old unit's remote was torn up and the radio randomly switched channels when adjusting volume, etc. After I replaced it with this unit, I was sorely disappointed with the sound quality. The speakers were awful! HOWEVER . . . the old system had the bare wires while the new system had a wired plugs. I cut the plugs on the "new" speakers and spliced them to the old speakers. It made a world of difference! It sounded just as it had before. (By the way, the speakers on this unit ARE NOT permanently attached. They can be removed merely sliding them up. They immediately went to the trash can!)
This unit only has an audio-in jack 3.5mm. BUT YOU DO NOT WANT TO PLAY anything through these speakers! There is no CD output you could hook up to your Bose!
Something like this is probably what you'd want to go with. Just make sure it has an audio-out or headphone jack and you'll be better off with your Bose. (I'm sure it has a headphone jack though I couldn't see it. Your Best Buy agent can help you choosing the correct interface cord and power supply don't want just battery power!)

This water-resistant DJI Osmo Action camera has an 8x slow motion shooting option for a dramatic showcase of fast-paced scenes.
When taking video in 4K / 60 it over heated . Request you to take video in 720 . So what is the used of buying camera if we can not used the features. and switch display i am confused when you recording video we have to stop and switch and need to start
What is the ambient temperature in your region? In my area right now (Southern U.S.), we're running over 90 sustained during the day. Because of the processing power needed to record all those pixels, I think you would need more than a $400 camera! One that could house heat sinks and maybe a fan/cooling system. These cameras were not designed to be invincible to temperature extremes. What you could consider is is buying a couple more and switching them out as they got hot. Doing that would be much cheaper than spending 1000's of $ on cameras designed to tolerate the heat systematically.

HP - ENVY Photo 7155 Wireless All-In-One Instant Ink Ready Inkjet Printer with 5 Months Instant Ink Included - Black
Upgrade your home office equipment with this HP Envy all-in-one printer. Its dual-band Wi-Fi support lets you print sharp, borderless photos directly from your mobile device, and the 2.7-inch color touch screen lets you configure options for printing, scanning and copying. This HP Envy all-in-one printer increases productivity as it delivers 14 ppm of black and white documents.
I have tried 4 times to print a 23 page document. It pints 19 of the pages, then the printer jams up. When I try print something else from a different screen, the won't let me. It starts printing the 23 page all over again.
This is relatively normal for multiple page printing. You didn't state which version OS you have, but simply in Windows 10 if you hover your mouse over your printer icon in Control Panel>Devices and Printers then left clk there is a "See what's printing" choice. Your document(s) and/or multiple tries of same may be stacked up in there. I would suggest you cancel everything and start anew. It might take a few minutes to clear the queue. Jams can sometimes be illusive, too. One little torn piece of paper can stop printing. Get a bright flashlight and inspect every door, slot, paper feed, etc., on the machine. Before you try reprinting, make sure the paper you're using doesn't have creased corners, properly aligned in the tray or isn't too thick for your model printer. Worst case, a plastic or metal piece of the mechanism could have worked free, too. The Geek Squad was conceived for these types of problems. And warranty returns, too. Good luck!

What is the range this Drone can reach, meaning distance ?
Discussing wifi interference as a general cause of fly aways and loss of transmission/control in another post, that is the fly in the ointment. You have the mfg's specs which seem to be calculated in vacuums then you have reality! Since the law requires "line of sight" restrictions (and they keep piling on other things!), can you see your drone 500 ft away? And can you afford the fine past that if you can't?
I try to follow regulations but for those who are adventurous, doing a scenario can take your drone to half the max the battery can do then the Return To Home will kick in automatically. I've seen in videos the Anafi do a couple of miles and almost not making it back. Video transmission suffered after 1500 ft (I believe) but she kept going to the limit before returning home . . . just barely. Better hope your telemetry readings are reliable!
DJI's Accu-sync system refines that "wifi" signal to a super wi-fi which can extend those video transmissions considerably at the price of $800+. Maybe the Autel, too. But you pay that price for the privilege. Add the DJI Smart Controller which doubles the price with their proprietary enhancements which probably contributes to the system's efficiency, you can increase the distance . . . again for the price.
Two years from now, the efficacy of even the lowest systems WILL improve possibly reaching out more miles BUT where will the Law be? That is the question. We all want to go faster, higher, farther . . . but will we be allowed? I doubt it.

Am I missing somthing because in the specs it says wireless range is 13000 ft but how come it starts cutting out around 1000?
If you were in a vacuum with no other Wifi signals, power lines, etc., you should get better distance transmissions. A YouTube droner in Hawaii regularly posts "distance" videos often for different drones trying to maximize interference by not flying over "high signal" areas. He gets better results from that. Flying in high population areas would be decidedly different.
Manufacturers tend to publish "Best Case Scenario" info with the "Your results may vary" tag line. The particular brand of phone/tablet you're using may also have an effect. Keeping your antenna pointing directly toward the drone at all times also. But if you are flying near homes with routers, other people with cell phones, industrial complexes, cell towers, etc., that somes nowehere near "best case scenarios."
DJI's Accusync system optimizes their signals into a "super wifi" for lack of a better term and seem to be able to achieve closer to those distances out of the box. Maybe with some aftermarket enhancements (antennas, boosters) added, you might get better results. But I always point out the legal restriction of "line of sight" anyway so why risk the violation? You can buy cars that go over 200 mph but can you avoid the ticket?
I agree the "13,000 feet" seems like false advertisement just the same.

Does this drone have a return to me .. or return to home capability?
Yes. The Anafi is a very controllable, fun drone to fly. It has a "RTH" feature. While you are launch hovering, you can set that as the "home" spot. It DOES NOT link to the controller or your phone/tablet like some other drones will. You will have to manually land on the new spot.

Do you have to specifically buy the thermal Anafi to have the Thermal imaging? Or is an in APP purchase? Is the Parrot Skycontroller 3 the controller that comes with this package? Is there an extended flight controller, "signal booster" that is sold sep?
My experience with Parrot is they offer their packages "non-upgradable." I have the straight Anafi and wanted to purchase the new FPV glasses. I have the Bebop 2 FPV also and always preferred the #2 style glasses which are more compact. They refused to sell them out of the package deal. Likewise, the Anafi FPV Glasses 3 are not available separately. (But I have recently found an "identical" off-brand pair online and with slight modification will operate just like theirs.)
My point being, Parrot is not interested in allowing users to "upgrade" their drones by selling other than repair parts. I could only assume buying the TI cam from them would be impossible. It is not an "in-app" mod. I believe the camera and software for that purpose are built in to their singular product and will never be for sale separately. That's not to say a third party won't come up with a solution but I wouldn't waste my time begging' Parrot for it!
