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.

I am planning on seeing if there are any holdiay sales in November and get a PSVR 2
However, I have found a company that makes inserts for the head set to your prescription.
.
Just do a search for PSVR lenses

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.
