I don't always need the plan.
But if I didn't have it, I would have regretted it enough.
Things do not always have problems. But when the do repair or replacement is a lot more expensive.

My first set got chewed up by my dog. I have come to depend on my bone conduction head set enough that I ran out and bought a new one right away. Barely a day goes but I do not use it at least once.
Perfect for walking the dog as you can still hear what is going on around you.
Keep in mind, you may get better sound from over the ear or ear buds that go in your ear. But they will not be nearly as comfortable.
Unlike traditional sets, these a significantly more comfortable for long term wear and they will NOT fall off

I was cautious about buying a large curved monitor. I was even more cautious about buying an OLED monitor.
I am just over the top of the moon with how excellent this monitor is.
It comes with a monitor switch. I use it for work and play and this allowed me to toss my switch.
It also has a cross hair in the middle for playing any game that has aiming.
It also has PIP mode. Have not used that other than to test it, but it is kind of neat
All the stats on this monitor are on point.
Bit of advice if you want a WQHD monitor. Get one that has a 3440 x 1440 native resolution like this. Many games will not support 5120 x 1440

The protection plan is something you hope is never needed. But for the occasions I have used it, the plan has saved me more money in repair or replacement costs than the plan costs.

Honeywell - Smart WiFi Energy Star Dehumidifier for Basements & Rooms Up to 4000 Sq.Ft. with Alexa Voice Control & Anti-Spill Design - White
Backed by our outstanding warranty, the Honeywell Energy Star 70-pint (50 Pint 2019 DOE Standard) smart dehumidifier removes moisture with less energy than conventional dehumidifiers, saving energy costs! This unit removes up to 30 pints of moisture daily from medium to large rooms such as basements, dens, and storage rooms. The continuous drain option increases flexibility by allowing you to continuously drain the condensate water for long unattended operation (drain tube included). The digital humidistat control system automatically senses room moisture levels and activates dehumidification to accurately maintain desired humidity levels. Wi-Fi connected with Amazon Alexa voice control, you can monitor the humidity in your home from almost anywhere. It is compatible with Apple iOS9.0 (or later) and Android version 4.3 (or later). A 2.5 GHz Wi-Fi connection is required to operate the Smart Dehumidifier App and remote features.
 
Gets the moisture gone.

It is really nice to get alerts on my phone when the tank is full. It also runs pretty quiet compared to other dehumidifiers I have owned.
It really does an excellent job of removing the moisture. 2 speeds.
Recently I shampooed a bedroom in the basement, I put the unit in there an shut the door and set desired humidity to 30%, When I turned it on the humidity was at 50% and it dried out the carpet fairliy quickly.

Easily switch between your two DisplayPort computers and control them with one monitor, one keyboard and one mouse. IOGEAR's 2-Port USB Cable DisplayPort KVM Switch comes ready with built-in cables and is USB powered. This KVM offers an efficient and affordable way to switch between your two DisplayPort computers. Hide the KVM anywhere and use the 6 ft. cable remote push-button to switch between the two connected computers.
 
Just not reliable enough.

Unreliable for switching. I have dual monitors that I use for work and home. I plug my work laptop into a docking station and try using this switch to switch a monitor from my work to home display. going to return it for something that has an indicator on it that the out put has switched. Quite often the connected monitor will black out and come back

I had the impression from the TIVO web site that this product would organize all my programs from across various applications (Hulu, Amazon, Netflix) so I could manage the programs I watch. It is not so. It is similar to a Roku. But it is a good device for managing your streaming applications.

If my Nikon D610 DSLR camera that I purchased Feb of 2015 at Best Buy malfunctions, is Best Buy authorized to repair it in house?

Best Buy cannot repair DSLR Cameras in house. At the least they would send it to their service center. But most likely if you need warranty service you should go direct through Nikon

If your using Digital Optical Audio Cable. The answer is no. That uses a different connection. And most come with connectors already attached.

If your using regular copper speaker wire the answer is yes.

Is this computer good for producing music ? And if so how much can it handle ?

You need to look to the specifications of the software you are using for producing music. The computer is probably more than enough.

Does it crash when it can not handle a lot of programs for music production ?

Music production is typically a lot less demanding on a computer than high end games are. and this machine can handle high end games.

processing for music is going to be more dependent on RAM and process or speed. and this has more ram than your music program would most likely utilize
