I've been using Energizer for so long that I have to laugh when one of my friends has a device powered by anything else, and the batteries run out. My best friend is probably of sick of me opening a device to change the batteries and going, "Ohhh, that's why. Well, that's what you get for not buying Energizer". I no longer think this might just be subjective or a matter of personal preference. In my experience, Energizer is just the best you can get, and it's worth paying a little extra to get the batteries that last the longest. I won't buy any other brand of batteries.

For years, it's been my experience that Energizer batteries are the best you can get. At first I thought it might just be skewed perception or something subjective, but every time a device runs out of battery power before I would have expected it to, I find it wasn't using Energizer batteries. That's why I don't buy any other brand of batteries. It's Energizer. It's just the best you can get.

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
 

Does this thermostat have a thermometer or is it separate?

Every thermostat has a thermometer built in. They control your heat and A/C by sending a signal to those systems when the temperature where the thermostat is gets above or below a certain point--that is, whatever temperature you have set. In order to know whether or not your A/C or heat should be running, thermostats use a thermometer to check the air around them. As far as I know, every thermostat can show you the current temperature using its thermometer. This particular one shows both the current temperature and your setting at the same time.

Keep cozy during cool weather with this Honeywell HCE323V ceramic tower heater that features digital controls, an LCD and a remote for easy operation. The auto tip-over shutoff function turns the unit off for added safety.
 

Does the thermostat on this heater work, meaning you can set a desired temp, when it is on the LOW setting? Some comments say no, the manual implies yes. Thanks!

I have confirmed that when it's on the low setting, you CANNOT set the thermostat.

Also, please note that the thermostat only goes as low as 60 degrees. If you're looking to simply keep a room from freezing, this heater will be running a lot more than you might need it to run.

Far Cry comes to America in the latest installment of the award-winning franchise.Hope County, Montana, has been overrun by a fanatical doomsday cult – The Project at Eden’s Gate. Upon your arrival, you must spark the fires of resistance to liberate the community.
 

Would this come in soon? Or if you order would it come in few days before release date or on the release date?

When I pre-order a game from Best Buy, they usually ship it before the release date; I get a shipping notice a day or two before the game is actually available to buy anywhere. Then I usually receive the game on the day of the release date.

Play the world and incredible definition with the GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card.

I have an HP Pheonix with a GTX 980. Can this be a direct replacement for the 980?

It can be if the motherboard supports it and your case will fit it. I'm not familiar with the HP Phoenix so you might want to check the specifications for the measurements on this card and then see if there's enough room inside your case.

Then, make sure your motherboard has a PCI Express 3.0 slot (preferably x16). If so, you can pop out the 980, stick this bad boy in there, and you should see a substantial performance upgrade.

is this motherboard compatible with this gpu? Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE ATX LGA1155 Motherboard

Yes, it should be fine. You need a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot to take full advantage of this card, and it looks like your motherboard does have that slot.

The Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710. Where comfort and productivity go hand-in-hand. This low-profile keyboard features Logitech Incurve keys, which are so comfortable you’d think they were custom-made to fit your fingers, and a cushioned palm rest. Up to three-year battery life for both keyboard and mouse practically eliminates the need to replace batteries.
 

My keyboard keeps capitalizing any first letter even wit numerals in from of it. Why? It prevents passwords.

Are you sure it's the keyboard causing this? It sounds to me like it might be something specific to either an application or maybe an OS setting.

If it happens in every application (including Notepad, Word, your Web browsers, etc.) you might try the keyboard with a different computer just to see if you get the same results. If not, it might be some setting in Windows causing this. If it happens on some other computer too, then maybe there is some issue with the keyboard, but that seems unusual to me.

If it only happens in one application, it's probably a setting in the app itself.

Insignia™ TV Stand: Organization and style define this TV stand, which holds your flat-panel or plasma TV and your center-channel speaker or soundbar and features 2 black glass shelves to accommodate A/V components.
 

dimenstions of middle shelf

im wondering if the middle shelf is wide enough for a sounbar
The middle shelf is 36 inches wide. I hope that helps.

It's definitely worth the money if it will fit your soundbar.

Insignia™ TV Stand: Organization and style define this TV stand, which holds your flat-panel or plasma TV and your center-channel speaker or soundbar and features 2 black glass shelves to accommodate A/V components.
 

Dimensions of the shelves

How wide is the middle shelf and what is the height that can fit on the middle and bottom shelves? Trying to figure out what can be fit in this stand.
User submitted photo
The middle shelf is 36 inches wide, with a little more than 5 1/2 inches of clearance.

The bottom shelf can take components up to 8 1/2 inches tall, including a full-sized home theater receiver.

Between the two of them, I have room for:

Home theater receiver
PS4
DVR
Xbox One
BluRay player
Wireless rear speaker transmitter for surround sound

...and more space left over.

This is a very nice piece of furniture - nothing cheap or chintzy here. If it'll fit all your stuff, it's well worth the money.
