Microsoft - Play & Charge Kit for Xbox One - Black
Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

Stop replacing batteries all the time. This charge kit replaces the regular batteries. You can charge it while playing. Modern controllers also power your gaming headsets and vibrate. Energy consumption is higher so this is a great fit.

I purchased this for use with an Xbox One S. I was concerned that running it through the controller would deplete the battery quickly. While it does require more charging you can charge the controller while using it. Sound quality is good but not great and my daughter says players sometimes have a hard time hearing her. After a couple hours of gaming it does get a little uncomfortable. Overall it is a really good budget gaming headset.

I purchased this headset for use while working at home for video meetings computer phone calls. I was worried that it would be uncomfortable for long term wearing but it actually is not uncomfortable The microphone is responsive and the audio is crisp and clear. I also use it for listening to music while I work and the sound quality is good. I think it would also work very well for home gaming as well.

Doom has a long history that helped define the genre. The graphics engine is spectacular but I feel the story line is weak. There really is not a lot of finesse to game play and the scenarios tend to get repetitive. The multiplayer H2H aspect was a little clunky and could use refinement. I would still recommend playing it but my expectations were to high for it.

This game was a lot of fun, great graphics, and one of the very few times I didn't turn off the music. However, this game could greatly benefit from a Fast Travel option. The game does get pretty repetitive in that your quite often doing the same parkour tricks quite often and you tend to go from point A to B to C etc. Certainly not open world. And the game is short, I did all missions and finished in about 21 hours. If it had not been for the ability to skip cut scenes it would have added about 4 to 5 hours.

I have wanted a color laser at home for some time but they were so very expensive. When my ink jet printer quit working I found this printer on sale. What a great value. I don't print photos anymore so this is a perfect fit. It is fully network capable. I can copy, scan direct to my computer, and as a bonus I can print from my phone or from my work to the printer using a email address that belongs to the printer. The only drawback is that it is cumbersome when trying to change paper sizes and selecting from a specific tray.

As with almost all Apple products they are well built and have a very high quality of sound. However, as with all Apple products they are expensive. I would suggest also getting a carrying case that can attach to a back pack or something.

Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is the next generation of our bestselling Floodlight Cam. Protect large outdoor areas like the driveway, garage or backyard with motion-activated LED floodlights, 1080p HD video, and a built-in security siren. Customize the motion zones to monitor specific areas and get real-time notifications when motion is detected. Use the Ring App to see what’s happening, turn on the lights, speak to visitors, and even sound the siren when you need to. It also comes with a free 30-day trial of Ring Protect Plus, so you can review, save and share all your Ring videos at anytime, with anyone.
Will the motion sensor activate both the lights and the camera, and set off the notification on my phone? Is the camera always enabled, so it detects motion and I get a ring notification?
You can set a schedule for your camera or have it always enabled.
Via ring bridge and the app you create groups of devices.
I have one with camera on one side of my garage and one without on the other. I also have a Ring lightbulb in the lantern next to my door.
If either sensor detects motion it can turn both floods on and the single bulb. And the flood without camera can turn on the camera at the same time.
What I am thinking I could do it get another bulb for inside the house and have it set to turn on when the motion sensor detects something and it could be a silent alert.
That might get annoying but it is an option.

Does this security camera/floodlight include a motion sensor?
Yes it does. It is on the bottom.
Using the app on your phone you can even draw in a rudimentary fashion the zone it will detect in.

From what I see on the App you can set the Linked devices to react when the Motion sensor on the Camera Flood detects movement. I speculate you can have all ring lights in and around your house light up when it detects motion.
I have one flood with a camera and another without, on either side of the garage. The one with the camera is near my front door.
I have it set if something enters the sensor from the one without the camera it will light up both and start video on the other, and light up the Ring bulb I have next to my door.

I am thinking about installing this as my main entry way lighting. Is there an option to use the floodlight feature alone without video?
I do not think there is an option for not using video. I just looked at my app and could not see an option.
However, if you don't want video you can purchase the Floodlight with motion sensor for a lot less.
I installed one of each.
