Elegant Solution for a Specific Issue
on December 4, 2019
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Upright - GO Posture Trainer is an elegant solution for improving your posture. It was ready to go as soon as it was charged and set up was practically instantaneous. Placement on the upper back was easy and the device became unnoticeable after a couple minutes.
The basic Training function notifies you when you slouch with a vibration - which prompts you to immediately correct your posture. You can also set it to the Tracking function which will track how well you're doing without giving the vibration prompts.
The key is adjusting the initial setting for what is 'correct' posture. The tendency is to set it while in an abnormally upright posture - which causes the vibration to go off too frequently. Once you've learned to set it for a more realistic posture, it works much better.
This is one of those instances of technology being used for positive life-improvement.

Improve your audiovisual experience with this Aluratek Bluetooth TV streaming kit. The included transmitter connects easily to most televisions and lets you stream audio to the included earbuds from up to 100 feet away. This Aluratek Bluetooth TV streaming kit includes advanced earbuds that deliver crisp, high-fidelity audio and have onboard touch controls for pairing and skipping audio tracks.

The Aluratek - ABCTWSKIT Streaming Media Player is an uneven offering.
PRO:
- The earbuds fit well and comfortably
- The charging case for the buds is on par with top bluetooth wireless offerings: compact and with a very helpful magnetic assistance for seating them in place.
- The unit comes pre-paired and is up and functioning immediately
- The earbuds connect readily with other bluetooth sources and can be used easily without the Transmitter base unit. I paired them with my AppleTV with no problems.

- The earbuds connect readily with other bluetooth sources and can be used easily without the Transmitter base unit. I paired them with my AppleTV with no problems.
CON:
- Inexplicably, there is no power source provided for the transmitter base. It uses a micro-USB connection and includes the cable, but no charging/power block - and no mention of what should be done for power included in the instructions. I found an extra USB charger and it worked fine.
- The base unit can act as either a Transmitter or Receiver, as the need may be. However, the volume control on the base unit only works when in Receiver mode, not when being used as a Transmitter. There are also no volume controls with the earbuds. This means there is NO VOLUME CONTROL when listening via the TV sound output. For me it was acceptable when watching live TV, but when I began to listen to podcasts via my AppleTV the variation in volume output levels forced me to quickly take off the buds to protect my ears from blaring sound. After trying the volume controls on the TV and the AppleTV - and setting the internal TV to 'Audio Output', it was the same - except that I then got a notice from the TV telling me to adjust volume on the device (which, as I've said, it does not provide). This may be an anomaly with my TV, but it is a newer Samsung. A call to product support received a simple confirmation that the unit does not have volume control when in Transmitter mode.
- Audio quality is fair and lacks bass.

I like the 'pros' mentioned above, but the 'cons' make this product unusable for it's primary purpose (as displayed on the packaging).

Good Shaver with Poor Clipper
on November 25, 2019
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Philips Norelco Shaver 2300 gives a great shave day-after-day. I've always been pleased with Norelco shavers and this is no exception. I like the ability to easily clean it under the faucet, let it dry, and keep it clean and at optimal functionality. There are some minor changes to the grip which makes it feel even more substantial.
However, the trimmer is sub-par on my unit. It did not clip my mustache / beard nearly as easily as my earlier Norelcos have done. I had to work at it. Bottom-line, I will not use the clipper on this model. Thankfully, I also have a Norelco beard trimmer that works great.
Because of this, I cannot recommend this model. It may be that my clipper is an anomaly. If so, then this would be great.

Great High-Performance Gaming Machine
on November 9, 2019
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Alienware - Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7 - 9700 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 - 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD is a solid, high-performance gaming machine. Boots up immediately and has the power needed for any gaming demands.
I appreciate the multiple front-facing connections (as well as those on the back), and the fact that it includes the DisplayPort connector which supports a high-performance feed to my Acer Predator XB272 monitor.
The keyboard and mouse included with the unit are very basic - that was surprising to me. But, as others have said, it probably assumes you'll want to use those of your own choice or, more likely, your own controller.
Of course the form factor and lights make it an impressive package as well. Since I use headphones, I never ran into any issues with fan noise. A great, high-performance gaming machine.

My New Favorite Gaming Headphones!
on November 9, 2019
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The LucidSound - LS35X Wireless Stereo Gaming Headset is the best gaming headphone I have used. The pro headsets with added hardware are impressive, but the hardware tends to get in the way of enjoying the games.
This headset is comfortable, has excellent and detailed surround sound, looks great, is easy to use and has just the right features.
I especially appreciate how the volume and chat/gameplay controls work - very easy, intuitive and effortless to reach. Also the simple way of switching between including ambient (room) sound or not.
The LucidSound - LS35X Wireless Stereo Gaming Headset has quickly become my favorite gaming headset.

Great Wireless Keyboard with Dual-Sync Feature
on November 9, 2019
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Logitech - K580 Multi-Device Chrome OS Edition Wireless Membrane Keyboard is a very functional keyboard, especially with the dedicated keys for Chromebook. It also paired effortlessly with my iPhone and was great for extended typing when needed. I did have difficulty pairing it with my older MacBook Pro running Catalina, which could be a hardware issue. Otherwise, it's a great keyboard and the dual-sync feature is awesome.

Solid Offering for a Fixed-Location Security Cam
on November 5, 2019
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Defender - Guard Indoor/Outdoor 1440p Wi-Fi Wireless Network Surveillance Camera is a solid offering - especially if your goal is to install it in a fixed location near a power source.
Once installed, it works as expected via it's companion App - good video, great night vision, decent sound and motion detection. It does not have 2-way audio, but, since it's not a smart doorbell, that doesn't matter to me.
Things to consider:
- It relies on constant, wired power, so it needs to be within use of an outlet. Thus installation requires running the cords in the most cosmetic manner available.
- Also, the dongle for attaching an ethernet cable (an added feature) is hard-wired and unsightly - especially if you have no need of it.
- Setting up and using the camera via the App requires establishing a registered ID and password before you can begin. I found the process confusing and was unsuccessful until I experimented with the UI. The problem for me was this: a check-box that I needed to click on already had an arrow in the box and so I thought the process was frozen. Eventually discovered that I still needed to click on the filled-in check box. My bad, I know, but still unintuitive.

Excellent, Easy-to-Use Air Fryer

The Bella - Pro Series 6qt Digital Air Fryer is great. Easy to use and understand. Great for minimizing the use of oil while producing delicious meals.
From my wife: "Carrot fries: Cut, spray with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cooked on the automatic setting of 370° for 15 minutes. Now, for an Autumn dish: fried apples with cinnamon."
The 6-quart size is also handy for entertaining others. We are very pleased with this.

The Tech21 - Pure Clear Case for Apple® iPhone® 11 is one of those accessories that's simple exactly what it says it is. Easy to put on, fits snugly, the buttons work very well, and it adds a definite layer of protection without being overly bulky.
The clear version is nice because it lets the new green color of my iPhone come out.
It is what it is - and that's good!

Truly Helpful Improvement for Your Mouse
on October 24, 2019
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Lexip - Mouse Ceramic Glide Feet are a very helpful addition. I was a bit skeptical as to their benefit when I first considered the purchase. But that passed completely once I saw how smooth it made the movements of the mouse on a variety of surfaces. The improvement in movement actually took some getting used to. But once you've adjusted, it's a great improvement.
Be sure to take your time with the initial installation. Don't rush it. Once done, you're ready to go - smoothly!

What is the voltage 110 or 220. 220 uses half the electricity but has a special plug.
It's 110 - i.e. normal American household power outlet

Apartment use. Currently have a TimeWarner modem router and an extender in living room. parts of living room are slow and gaps. will these replace the modem router and will range be better?
I had a similar set-up as you describe. You will still need the modem function of your modem router to supply the internet signal from TimeWarner, but if you connect via ethernet from your existing modem router to the ORBI system, you should get a stronger system and better speed. I'm not with TimeWarner, but I had purchased and was using a modem router. After installing ORBI as described above, the strength and speed of my signal increased measurably. Remember that the wifi cannot make the speed greater than what arrives via your provider, but a better system, such as the ORBI, can bring the wireless signal closer to the actual ethernet speed. That's what it did for me.

So if it comes with two, I'm assuming you have one that internet is linked to by cable and the other is used as a extender? Or do you have to have both units hooked to cable?
You are correct. There is the Router unit, which must be connected by ethernet to your cable or dsl provider, and there is the Satellite unit which connects wirelessly with the main Router unit and extends the same signal with the same wifi name.

Will this product cover a 2000 sq. ft., one level house with only one (1) WiFi Name? The reason for this question is I'm currently using an extension to my router which has given the front of the house a different wifi name from the back of the house.
Yes. That's one of the advantages of this system versus a basic range extender, with the ORBI it's all the same wifi name. Plus, if you desire, you can pick up the satellite unit and move it according to you needs. It only takes 1-2 minutes for it to reconnect with the main router.
