This air fryer saves so much energy compared to an oven. I have made French fries for two with only a tablespoon of olive oil. I have baked eggplant. The surfaces are super slick and are easy to clean with no scrubbing.

I asked my doctor how good a Kardia Mobile could be considering how she connected 12 leads to me. She said that they are quite good but just don't deliver as much detail as her ECG. I purchased the six-lead version and it is very easy to use. You can also let a guest take their ECG, but their results will not be saved. My heart is quite good, I am happy to say.

The product is good and meets expectations. I price is quite high considering the poor yield. It's the razor blade model of pricing. They practically give away the razor but charge huge for the blades. Same with printers and ink.

This machine invites you to add components. There are plenty of bays and electrical connections. The lead dress is superb. On the transparent side of the case you see two internal bays that serve 2.5" or 3.5" devices or drives. At the bottom back you see three more 3.5" slots (no rails). The third photo shows the opaque side of the case with the extra power supply connection tucked at the top. Your primary SSD is on the motherboard. SATA ports 1 through 4 are found at the bottom edge of the motherboard. The manufacturer cannot guarantee which motherboard and GPU will be available but the exact configuration will be on two labels of the shipping box. Be sure to save these labels for your documentation.

My new PC did not come with a USB-C port but it had several USB-3.2 ports. This cable nicely adapts my PC ports to my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I can upload pictures, charge my phone, and share Samsung interface options through this adapter. The connection snaps snugly into the Galaxy. Use a USB-3 port (blue) on your PC for best results.

I have been working with and configuring networks since the '90s. But this is the most frustrating software non-solution I've ever experienced.
I installed two WD Red drives as RAID1. I configured the MyCloudEX2Ultra with Users, Groups, Shares. No problem. But now how to get an actual backup.
I first tried Smartware. After spending six hours I contacted WD Chat support to learn that it was end-of-life product for my firmware level 5+. So I tried Acronis which is what was recommended. After hours of trying and online chat to WD I find that it does not support incremental backups (only the files that changed since your last backup).
So now I'm trying to use Windows 10 incremental backup. Problem is: The MyCloud software has a maximum timeout of 30 minutes. I have to babysit it to refresh to keep the backup going for maybe 10 hours or more -- every 30 minutes.
This is just my own PC, not including my other devices.
Look elsewhere for NAS. WD makes great drives but it is not a software company. I will redeploy my WD Red drives in my PC and just clone my hard drive for backup. Will rethink my other devices for solutions. You can backup and share with family a few files. But you can't backup your entire PC with this.

 Moulin Rouge! [DVD] [2001]
Moulin Rouge! [DVD] [2001]
Although a deluxe two-disc set is available, this one-disc edition of Moulin Rouge will do for those who want just the film. This DVD boasts a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround, and a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by director Baz Luhrmann and co-screenwriter Craig Pearce, and a second commentary track recorded by Luhrmann, costume director Catherine Martin, and cinematographer Donald McAlpine. A behind-the-scenes featurette rounds out this strong release.

I did not know anything about this movie going into it so it started out seeming weird. But then I began to get it. It's a lot of seemingly random popular songs we've all heard stitched together to tell the story of a love triangle involving a poor man, a courtesan (very high end call girl), and a rich count. What will win -- love or money? It's a cliff hanger. Its tragic theme will remind you of operas such as La Traviata and La Boheme. I'd watch it again.

Tom Hanks certainly has a rich legacy of starring roles. This role should be his crown for actually making a difference in the world. Everyone you know should see this movie for its message on how to make others more important. For Mr. Rogers, there was no them versus us. It was always about enriching your life by including love for those who are unlovable. For sheer beauty of feeling, I compare this with "Delovely." You will watch this again and again for support of your spirit.

I am sure it would work for that purpose. I had some spreadsheet files on a rewritable CD (that's CD, not DVD) and I could read them on my Windows PC. I also used it to transcribe family DVD videos to MP4 format. For this second purpose, I used the free version of VideoProc Converter AI.

not clear what is included here. I anticipate that this is to provide for a second man to help with lifting the tv. Am I correct in my understanding?

Two people came to lift and position the TV. They just made it happen for me. You can just sit back. They also routed the One Connect cable to my entertainment system.

As a customer, I can offer two levels to this answer. Samsung provides a One Connect cable of 3 meters length. It's purpose is to go discretely down your wall with minimum visibility. But if you want it to go behind your wallboard, you will have to provide your own route, especially if it has to go through a wall stud. In my case, a conduit was already there. You will want a wall outlet that looks like a brush such as Sanus 1-Gang Cable Access Brush Midsize Wall Plate Insert or similar. The Geek Squad used a fish tool to pull the cable for me. If you need a longer cable of 5 meters (16.4 ft.), you will need a Samsung VG-SOCA05 cable for this particular model. I ordered my cable from Crutchfield for $215.
