I am a PC Gamer but decided to get a PS5, and I love it.
I needed to learn to use the controllers.
Playstation Plus was a great addition because it allowed me to get a bunch of PS4 games at no extra cost so I could learn to work with the controllers.
My daughter loved it because she could get her favorite version of COD without having to buy it again.

I call this best in class because I had purchased a less expensive brand that could only charge via a USB-C port. Well the PS5 has a USB-C port on the front. But it is not powered when the PS5 is turned off, and I didn't like having it stick out the front. And it did not come with a charging brick. The price of which would make its cost higher than the DualSense.
So I got the Sony DualSense. it comes with a charging brick so I can plug it into my power center and not have cords running around.

Like a lot of games that get a lot of hype about how awesome they are, this game becomes a little tiring after several hours. Kind of a rinse, wash, repeat type of game.
For me I prefer a little more of a challenge.

Shine 2000 lumens of brightness on driveways, sideyards and high-traffic areas with a hardwired adjustable Floodlight. Floodlight Wired connects to the Ring Bridge (sold separately) to unlock smart controls and custom combinations in the Ring App. The Ring Bridge lets you group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate cameras and more. With the Ring Bridge you can also link your Ring Smart Lights to select Alexa-enabled devices to turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice.
 
Excellent motion sensor flood. Needs to be smarter

Great motion sensor flood light. You can adjust the angle of the lights. They are very bright and can light up my driveway all the way to the street and beyond.
However, the setting in the app is supposed to tell them to turn off after 30 seconds of no motion. Sometimes it will stay on for hours.

The Ring Bridge unlocks smart controls for Ring lights. It lets Ring lights, doorbells and cameras talk to each other and work better together in the Ring App, so you can receive mobile notifications whenever motion is detected and adjust settings with your phone or tablet. With the Ring Bridge you can also group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate cameras and more. It also lets you connect Ring Smart Lights to Alexa-enabled devices to turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice. *One Ring Bridge supported per household. Supports approximately 50 Ring Smart Lighting devices, including Motion Sensors (dependent on usage and other factors).
 
Smart device, could be smarter.

The Ring Bridge seamlessly ties all your Ring Products into groups for easy access and control on your Smart Phone, tablet or computer. Requires the Ring App.
However, it could be smarter than it is.
I installed 2 Ring Floods (one with a camera) on the front of my house and a Ring bulb into my 3rd existing lantern. The Bridge via the App can turn that bulb on and off in dusk/dawn. However what would be smarter of it if I could tell that bulb to turn on and off when the floods detect motion.
Also you use the app to program the Bridge to control your devices. The settings do not always work to well. Meaning I set my floods to turn off after 30 seconds of no motion, and sometimes they will stay on for hours.
However, I do recommend this as it is a very good device and ties it all together.

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
