I got tired of getting wires tangled when using my gaming laptop. Searched high and low and purchased this based on the tech stats and Logitech's reputation. I was not disappointed. I actually get significant longer play on the battery than the specs. There is a handy batter meter on the top that is the 3 lights by the wheel. You can easily game all day with this mouse.

For a magnetic phone mount a critical option is the feet at the bottom for extra support. If you mount the metal disc under a case.
However, once it gets hot in the car from the sun the glue tends to give way and your phone goes crashing to the floor
My dash had been well cleaned prior to mounting.

I always buy this with computers. I spend a lot of money on a computer and computers can quit working. NOT the fault of Best Buy. Things happen.
Geek squad service plan isn't always something I need to use. But when I have used it the plan has saved me a lot of money on repairs. Best Buy does not manufacture their products and without this plan you need to rely on the good graces of the manufacturer's warranty service

I didn't have high hopes for this game, it was really a filler between major titles. But this turned out to be a high octane adventure of fun. It really reminded me of the movie Road Warrior and had a surprising level of complexity I was not expecting when first starting it.

I am not a fan of Apple phones or computers. I have owned a selection of brands of tablets and the iPad is the best. I use it for eBooks, streaming video, Face Time, email, and general information browsing. It is worth the extra money for the better performance and quality.

It works with the modem regardless of the source coming to the modem. You have to have an ethernet output from your modem

I work in the middle of a large metal building w/many walls, which makes the company wifi signal very weak in my office. Can I use this to connect the ethernet cable for my computer, then add another router to provide a strong wifi signal in my office?

It should not be an issue to connect a long Ethernet cable to the switch to get a route to your computer. However, if you can get the cable all the way to your computer you would be better off

 Control Standard Edition - Xbox One
Control Standard Edition - Xbox One
From the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake comes Control, a third-person action-adventure game combining Remedy's trademark gunplay with supernatural abilities, giving the player the ability to approach each situation in their own way. Control is set in a unique ever-changing world, juxtaposing the strange and unpredictable with the mundane. A supernatural enemy has taken possession, and you must use your unique abilities to take back Control. Welcome to the Federal Bureau of Control.
 

Why no release date when the release date was announced for August 27 2019. That is from multiple sources.

Does it really matter if the release day on the web site is updated right away when the release is still four month away.

There are models that support the various platforms. However, they should all have a 3.5mm jack. But I do not think you get top end sound quality via the 3.5mm.
