Tap up to a modern solution
on May 24, 2023
Posted by: Ebonovic
Simply put, if you are not accepting credit cards with your business (of any size), you are loosing out on potential sales. Even if you are doing fundraising, or a garage sale... having this can help you sell more.
Square it self is an easy to use platform, that takes very little time to setup and use... I have had square now for well over 6 years if not longer. I use it for my craft side business, fundraising for our scouts, and even our home garage sales.
With this contactless reader, you can accept all the modern Chip and Tap payments including Apple Pay. This device is an updated model over the previous, charging via USB-C in under 20 minutes it is fully charge, and the charge is going to last you several days under normal usage. I have yet to ever kill the battery at a full weekend craft show.
Tap payments, Tap: Beep, and go... the customer never has to let go of their card, and you can bring the reader to them.
Chip payments.. just slide it in, and it instantly starts to talk to your phone, and you are on your way.. so is your customer.
Chip payments.. just slide it in, and it instantly starts to talk to your phone, and you are on your way.. so is your customer.
Tap and Chip payments are the most secure way to do a transaction, and you pay less in transaction rates.
Setup for the reader, takes under a minute. Open your app, tap a button in the app to start the process, hit the power button. The first time you do, it is going to do a secure software update, and then you are ready to go.
While Square has recently added Tap payments built into the app, if you have a compatible phone... you still can't take chip.
This device will NOT accept a magnetic swipe.. but for the rare occasion you need that, you can keep the number into the app.
Square is FREE to setup, and just a modest cost for this reader. And you pay per transaction... so monthly fees.

Good Cooling Option / Efficient
on April 27, 2023
Posted by: Ebonovic
So with the summer months coming, and energy prices going to be high... Fans like this are good options to have, and this one fits the bill.
Takes about 10 or so minutes to assemble, if you have assembled a fan before maybe even less.
And after that, it is plug it in, and turn it on.
And after that, it is plug it in, and turn it on.
Adjustable height option with the rotating lock on the shaft, and you can move the fan up and down. At the lowest level, it is at chair level height... at the heights, give or take standing height. So depending on where you use it and your needs you can adjust.
Multi button control right on the fan, so you can pick one of 3 speeds (and off).
Tilt option on the head so you can angle it just a little more if the height adjustment isn't right.
And motion option, to keep it locked, or let it rotate about 160 degrees left to right... to cover a wider space.

And motion option, to keep it locked, or let it rotate about 160 degrees left to right... to cover a wider space.
Good sized base, but not that heavy... so be a little cautious with it being bumped and knocked over especially if you have pets.
Overall a good inexpensive option, to move the air in your space. No over the top frills.
You can easily add a smart plug to this, to give you that remote on/off option that is not built in.

Having used Philips shavers for a very very long time, this newest one is near perfect.
Right out of the box it is ready to go, no need to install any blades or get anything overly setup.
Push button, and start to shave.
Push button, and start to shave.
At first I thought the boxy shaped blade head area was going to be a challenge, but really it helped get a crisp line in areas I wanted it. I was able to control the shaver better.
Three power levels, that I could speed up the blades. For me, I just needed the low level, I don't have thick hair. First usage, no shaver irritation. Just a clean smooth shave.
Light weight, not overly bulky, and was done shaving in just a couple minutes.
The one nit-pick is a 2023 nit-pick. I am not sure why the need for a custom (yet small) adapter for this. Why not a USB-C option? or just it being a USB-C sized port. As a traveler, I would like one less thing to bring with me, just in case I need the charge while I am out there.
Included is a cleaning kit, looks simple to use, but no need to use it after each shave, just rinse in water and ready to go. Will use the kit, for a deep clean about once a month

So close, but still very very good
on January 23, 2023
Posted by: Ebonovic
So for the last 2.5-3 years, I spend the entire day with a headset on for work.
Those have been over the ear, because buds just don't work out long enough.
Those have been over the ear, because buds just don't work out long enough.
This particular set has been GREAT!!!! The audio quality of my over the ear sets, at about 1/10th of the weight.
At first I was taken a bit off guard, by the fact that the audio output part of the headset, just rests outside your ear. it's not on your ear canal, it is just in front. And still produced very clear and detailed audio. And the microphone picks up my voice clearly, according to the people on the other side. but doesn't pick up the click/clack of my keyboard.
It wraps around you ear, so it is super secure. I have walked away from my desk forgetting it was on.
battery life has been great, it will mostly likely work multiple days (I have gone two full work days).
Now for the downsides:
1) No easy microphone mute. The device will only respond to the buttons to mute, if it is in a cellular call, not on a bluetooth laptop session. So I have to rely on the software mute in the application I am using.
2) Proprietary charging cable. I don't like that at all, because if I lose it... I am toast.
3) The buttons to turn it on and off, are just awkwardly placed on the bottom.. and they are the same color. I am a little older, and my eyes are a little fuzzy without my glasses, so I have to focus in to figure out which is the + and - on the headset to figure out which one to use.

Professional Case; iPad closer to Laptop
on November 30, 2022
Posted by: Ebonovic
So this case & removable keyboard, really takes the iPad to another level. With the advancements that Apple and developers are doing with iPadOS and the ecospace, this case takes one step further as using the iPad as a replacement, or valuable co-piece of equipment.
The installation: The iPad fits snug into the case. This case LOOKS great, a professional grey, with a soft touch to it, but make no mistakes this will protect the iPad from bangs and drops pretty well.. and it won't be coming out on its own. Once in, it works like most popular cases, with a support in the back, so it can stay up and you can see. Works great to view videos when not using it for production apps.
Now the keyboard, just snaps on the bottom, and now you have what looks a functions as a laptop. The keyboard pairs up with the iPad, and you can now start to use it for all your input. Works with Office, Notes, on your webpage, just as you would expect. Some apps may not be optimized for keyboard usage, but that is on the app, not the hardware.
Types very very smooth. As we get back to the office more and more, this is going to be my go to for meetings. easier to carry around, lightweight.
Make sure you purchase the right model that is compatible with your iPad... You can't force this onto one that isn't compatible, just doesn't work that way

Solid, but could be a tad better
on October 31, 2022
Posted by: Ebonovic
So As apple and other providers, continue the shift away from wire based charging... getting the right wireless charger is going to be important for everyone. This iOttie, is good... but a few additional things and it will be really good.
So this is a Magnetic "mag-safe" charger. So for Apple products you would need one of the later generation phones to work with it. (iPhone 13/14). If you have a case, better check that case as well. My original case, would allow wireless charging, and would allow mag-ring as well... just was too thick to use this style of vertical. So I upgraded my case, to one with a dedicated mag ring and all is good.
Phone stops on to the base, and starts charging immediately. You can feel the vibration, and see the indicator. I haven't really timed the charge, but it is pretty quick. I have this right on my work desk, in a short while I am back to 100% (provided the phone isn't throttling the charge).
One thing I would have liked to see, is an option to adjust the tilt of the device. just a little bit, like between 5-10% degrees would have been grate.
The base charges your AirPods... very simple, drop them into the recessed area, and they charge. works out fine.
So where I would have liked to see improvements.
- This does NOT come with an adapter, you need to provide one that has enough wattage to charge your devices. This was seriously disappointing, as this IS A CHARGING base. it should have come with the wall adapter.
- This does not support your Apple Watch. Yes, I knew that when getting that, but adding that support to a future model, as so many other similar devices have.. would make this a more complete charging base.

Good sound, will benefit most
on October 26, 2022
Posted by: Ebonovic
Great addition to the Meta Quest 2.. the one thing that the Meta Quest 2 lacked out of the box, was quality sound. I missed that from the Rift.
For a while I sued a custom set of ear buds, and that was okay, but still didn't block out all the sound. Now these.
Great sound, easy to connect. Keeps the ear mostly covered (not complete), and provide a pretty good sound for game and other usage. I used this mostly for Beat Saber, and was right into it, and the usage was great.
One down side, and it is minor, that the case I have, they now are a bit snug with the ear piece in place. So need to take some caution there.
really didn't notice a shift in weight, I am sure they are a tad heavier, but really didn't notice during my usage.
These connect to the USB-C port of the head set, and have a pass through USB-C charger. So if you have a setup where your usb-C charging is custom, or anything be prepared to make some adjustments.

Good Sound, but caution on the fit
on October 26, 2022
Posted by: Ebonovic
Very good set of headphones, with just a few minor things.
First they are great audio quality, very clear sound, good tone. Very enjoyable to listen with. I try not to crank up ear buds very loud, and these were not at full volume and were pretty loud, So in most environments should have absolutely no problem.
Follows the current convention for this style. You need the custom carrying case to charge them, and the case carries a bigger battery itself, so you don't need to connect to an actual power source for a while.
The negative on them, for my daughter (the eventual user of these), they just didn't fit her ear right. We tried all different sizes of tips, and they just didn't fit snug, and they would fall out. not sure if it is the design of the straight arm, or just the combination of the ear piece and design, but she couldn't get them to stay. Me, no problem. (And she doesn't have issue with other buds).
Very easy to pair, was able to get this to multiple devices with out a bunch of issues.

Easy to setup, Easy to use, Great Photos
on October 17, 2022
Posted by: Ebonovic
So we all have our phones now a days, and we are getting pretty good at taking pictures with them. BUT, there are times, when you really want to have the best of the best, and that can't always come from a mobile phone. Only so much can be done there, with the lack of changeable lenses, and all the features that a digital camera like this brings to the table
First setup is very straight forward, battery, memory card, lens and you are ready to go. Taking your first pictures is as simple as turning it on, and clicking the button (yes you actually click a button).
You have all the options on this camera to change your focal length, the way you want to.. not the way some AI picks for you. (or you can leave it in one of the many full and partially automatic modes).
The camera is small, and relatively light weight. not overly bulky out of the box. You can add different Nikon lenses to this, for even more versatility (need a long zoom lens for that bird watching, or one for action photos from the stands? you have those add on options).
With the ability to add third party accessories as well, like a microphone... this camera can also be used to create your next stunning video.
I have been a canon person for a long time... but with some of their recent changes, decided to try this out. And one of my children wants to get into real photography, so this was a good time to make the switch and trial.
If you are looking for that next step beyond the smart phone pictures, and want a TON of flexibility and options, look no further.

You'll get a charge... no frills, just works
on October 11, 2022
Posted by: Ebonovic
So wireless charging is where it is at now days, but is getting to be a challenge with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, because of the new style of camera area. Some of the previous wireless charging options, just don't work, and you need to go with a magnetic style.
So Pro: It charges, and seems to be fully compliant with the MagRing for Apple, as the phone does detect it as a mag-ring charger (visually able to see that when the charging starts).
It seems to charge at a pretty quick rate, but I haven't broken out the timer on it.. but I can get 10% charge added to the phone, during a short trip. Looking forward to try it on a long road trip, with navigation going.
Two downsides though: The clip to the vent, there is no way to adjust it. It is really really tight, and you slide it on.. but if your vent is a little thick you may have some problems, and be very careful, not to push to hard, you could break your vent.
Bigger downside... the plug. WAY to thick and big, and really looks/feels cheap. And the wire does NOT come out of it. The way my car is designed, these thick 12v plugs, push into the cup holder, and I lose that one for drinks. I can't swap this out for a different one (like a mini Anker). It does have a 2nd USB port, but no indicator on what the voltage rating is on it. Not sure if I will be able to charge two iPhone 14's on it, or not yet.
Good/Bad, the cord is REALLY long... for many installations, the cord is way too long.
It works, but there are many options out there, and this one really doesn't do anything different, and lacks in a couple areas.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
