Very accurate and easy to use

The Logitech Pro G mouse has a minimalistic, simple and effective design. It’s very easy to use and set up with the included USB type A receiver. You can also use the proprietary USB type A cable that has a customized micro USB connector for just this mouse. Movement is very precise, quick, and smooth. No mousepad needed over most surfaces, even glass. It has an ambidextrous design and you can customize some of the included buttons to your liking. You also have the option not to use any of them or up to 4 to really configure it to your liking. The logo lights up with different colors and it’s a nice feature. The DPI button is located on the bottom of the mouse, but that is a point of annoyance for me since I like to be able to switch that out for different weapons while playing my First person shooters, I suppose placing it under there will eliminate unintended DPI changes for some, but I am betting the majority of gamers will not like not being able to change it quickly. It is also very light in the hand which will take some time to get used to. Battery life is rated at 48 hours with the default lighting scheme or you can extend that up to 60 hours if you turn that off. I kept it on since it adds a little flair to my mouse. The simple design, light weight, accuracy, battery life, and cool lights make this mouse a strong contender for not only my gaming sessions, but also my daily use as well.

Waterproof and durable!!

This is a very handy little speaker. The sound it creates will make you think that it is a much larger speaker than it is 360 degrees of sound means you can hear it from every angle. A bit of clipping and distortion at high volume but playing around with the EQ in the App I was able to make it sound better. I really like that about it. Bass is not as good as I would like, but it does the job for the most part. You can pair it up with 150 additional Ultimate Boom speakers (Version 2 or Version3) for even more sound. I was not able to test out that functionality since I only have one. The speaker is IP67 rated (water proof and sand proof) for up to 30 minutes in 1 meter of water, but that part doesn’t matter really since it floats. That would come in handy if you are boating and happen to drop this overboard. Also, the Bluetooth range is great, I was able to get about 100 feet away and it still was streaming my music, but this was with a clear view of the speaker. The magic button is pretty awesome as well. You can use the App to create a playlist and simply hit the magic button and it will start your playlist, you don’t even have to touch your phone and of course it also functions to pause/play/FF music. There is also a place to hook it onto something which really comes in handy as well. Charging via the included USB micro cable from either a computer port (will take a while) or my Samsung Note8 wall adapter was fast to fully charge. This is rated to have a 15 hour battery which will easily last most parties.

Great NC headphones that will not disappoint.
on September 15, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
I do own the previous model of these headphones (the WH-1000MX2) and these are a slight improvement over those. The sound quality is still fantastic and even a little better than the previous model. The Smart listening SENSE ENGINE will auto detect what you are doing, say, sitting still, walking around etc and will adjust the listening and ambient sounds to meet those different environments. I did notice a slight pause in the music as it changed the mode that it was working in. A minor annoyance though. The QN1 noise-canceling processor is fantastic. I am not sure how Sony did it, but it cuts out just about any sound and leaves you only hearing the music from your headphones. I can wear these all day, they feel slightly lighter than the previous model and the ear pads are softer than before with a larger hole that encompasses your ears. The quick attention mode is a great feature as well. You simply have to cup your hand over the right headphone and it will mute the volume and activate ambient sound so you can have a quick conversation. Very handy feature so you don’t have to fumble for your device that is playing the music or pause anything. Sony includes a very nice carrying case that is soft on the inside and has a semi hard shell to protect your headphones. Also included is an airplane 3.5mm dual jack to a single 3.5mm headphone jack, along with a 3.5mm headphone cable that you can connect your headphones directly for a wired source. One of the biggest and most welcome improvements comes in the form of the USB Type C connector these use. Now I can carry around one less cable. Hands free calling is clear and crisp and my friend who I called said that the mic was working perfectly. The right side of the headphones, along with being used for quick attention mode, is also used to adjust volume, play, pause, or change tracks. Simple swiping motions or taps is all it takes to do that. The rated hours of use is slightly down from the previous model though. These are 30 hours which is 8 less than before, but to me that is still plenty of life for these things. You can use google assistant, but you must remap (using the Sony Headphones Connect App) the NC/Ambient button to do so. I did not change it since I liked being able to toggle between those modes more than I would use google assistant. There was a firmware update that I did have to do right out of the box and it took it about 30 minutes to complete. If you are in the market for a great set of headphones, the you cannot go wrong with these at all.

Power brick needed for charging.
on September 10, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
In my opinion, I don’t really care for the looks of this speaker, it reminds me of Johnny Five from Short Circuit the movie but looks are subjective. The handle seems a bit weak for the weight of this speaker, and it does weigh more than it looks. The sound is decent, but I have smaller speakers from a different manufacturer that sound better to me. It has pretty good bass overall. In a small room it sounds pretty good, but take it in a larger room or outside and it seems to lack volume. You can link up two speakers together to increase the sound. The lighting effects are good and are enjoyable to watch and my kids really like that part. I was surprised by the power brick that is required to charge it and you can’t charge it via USB, nor does it have a USB out to charge devices on the go. Hopefully the next model will have the power supply built into the speaker, so you don’t have to carry that around as well to power it up. Speaking of power, it lasted me about 15 hours before I had to charge it back up…plenty for most people I am sure, but if you plan to use it while camping or something like that, you might find yourself out of power if you don’t have an outlet to charge it. Overall, considering the price and the power brick and lack of volume, I really can’t recommend this, but hopefully the next version will have improvements.

Fast color prints and many features!

The Brother MFC-L3770CDW Color Laser Printer is a great home/office printer for just about most business or home users. It has built in fax capabilities (many businesses still use fax), fast color and black and white printing, duplex printing, scanning, wireless/cloud printing and also NFC printing. The starter toners are good for about 1,000 prints and I wasn’t able to find a price on the specific toners (TN-223) at the time of me writing this, but the other models were running about $60 for each (B/W, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) for the regular toners, but they also have a higher yield size TN-227. Regular toner yields around 1,400 prints and high yield nearly doubles that amount. The Drum kit is good for about 18,000 prints so that is another cost to figure into this printer at some point. Brother does offer a “Refresh” program, so you won’t ever run out of toner. You have the option to use that or not. This printer also comes with a 1-year warranty and phone or chat tech support for the life of the product. The 3.7-inch touch screen is a nice addition as well and is responsive and bright. I have never had a brother laser printer before, but I look forward to many years of service of this thing.

Gender neutral bag that I don't mind wearing...

The modal diaper backpack is well made and has a good amount of storage in it for all of your baby essentials. The changing pad does take up a lot of space, but that didn’t bother me that much. The handle on the top of the bag is easy to use and makes it easy to hold, say while you are waiting in line to get into a baseball game and security has to check your bag. They had no issues going thru it either. I wish the bottle pouches were insulated, but they are not with this bag. Weight distribution is nice when you are wearing it on your back and the straps are well padded and easily adjustable so if you need to swap it out and have someone else wear it. Design wise, it’s a bit boring, but I prefer it that way over a pink one or something like that. There are plenty of storage spots to keep things like snacks, diapers, and wipes separate. My wife and I do look forward to going out more to use this to it’s full potential. I have a feeling that it will hold up pretty well for us.

Rental type carpet cleaner that works great!
on July 17, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
The Rug Doctor Pro Deep carpet cleaner is a great home carpet cleaner. The suction is very strong, and it pulls out nearly all of the water that you put down. The carpet is left clean and just a little damp. I have found that it dries in about an hour or two, at least in this hot weather. The clean tank holds 1.5 gallons and you mix in the solution in with hot water. This unit is very similar to the ones that you can rent at your local grocery store, but you don’t have to worry about it having someone else’s germs on it. It’s a fairly heavy unit but moves back and forth pretty easily, but turning it is a little cumbersome. It’s very wide and I was able to do a few rooms in my house that are 20x20 each and I was done in about 30 minutes. The handle folds down for storage also. Emptying the dirty water tank is easy, but you will make a little mess when you drain it…. dirty water will drip out of the intake tube if you empty it right away, at least that was my experience with it. Perhaps if I had waited a while, it would have dried out and not dripped so much. It has a solution empty indicator and a brush jam indicator as well to alert you of trouble. I do think the power cord is a little short and I would have liked it to be about 5 feet longer than it is. You get a small bottle of cleaning solution that will be good for 3 gallons, but I went out and purchased the Pet solution bottle. Buying this carpet cleaner is a great value, it works great and if it’s built like the rental units, it will last you a long time.

NordVPN is a virtual private network (VPN) – an online security tool that routes your internet traffic through a secure tunnel, changing your virtual location in the process. But NordVPN does more than just that — it comes equipped with powerful features against common online threats.
Posted by: jago

I am very happy with this VPN solution. If you value privacy and security, you should not use the internet without a VPN, especially if you are on a public WiFi. Don't use facebook, banking, anything without a VPN on a public WiFi. It's very easy for someone to capture the data packets and see what's in them, but if you encrypt your data with a VPN like NordVPN, you don't have to worry about it. It has strong military grade encryption and you can set it up so that it automatically connects whenever you turn your computer on so you won't forget to use it. You can configure it to run pretty much seamlessly in the back ground and all you see is the little icon in the task bar letting you know that it's working. I have conducted speed tests and it has not affected my speed very much at all...maybe a slight dip but not even noticeable. I use it on my Note8 as well and it works seamlessly there as well. You just have to log in once and set it up and you are good to go. I selected my preferred server (U.S) and that was it. I did notice that there is only one US server listed though, so at some point it may get saturated, but I assume they would add more before it ever came to that. So, surf, bank, chat securely with NordVPN.

Plenty of power and plenty of inputs!!
on June 26, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
The Yamaha RX-V685 has 630 Watts of peak power that it will put out over 7.2 channels (150 w per channel). This is a 4K Ultra HD / 3D home theater system receiver. I only have 5 speaker and a sub woofer hooked up at the moment and I am very impressed with the sound and output of this. It was easy to set up and you can download the Yamaha app to help with the set up if you like. I was able to connect it to my WiFi network and that allows me to stream music from a PC on the network which is a neat feature. The remote is pretty gigantic for what it is and you can’t directly select an input, of which there are many, you have to scroll thru them. I found a way around this by programming my Logitech harmony remote to directly select the inputs. Here are the inputs: 5 HDMI’s, 1 optical digital audio, 4 analog audio, 2 coaxial digital audio, 1 component video, 1 composite video, 1 USB, Phonograph, and 1 Ethernet. There are also two HDMI out connections for convenience as well. Configuring the speakers is not a strong suit of mine and I was thankful for the YPAO microphone that made the adjustments on the speakers for me. I just plugged in the mic, set it where my head would be while watching TV and followed the on screen prompts. This also works with Alexa, but I have not had a chance to test that part out yet. Yamaha gives you a full 2 year warranty on this which is great and you can also stream via Bluetooth as well. The display was able to show what was plugged into the HDMI input for most of my devices. Wii U, PS4, Xbox, TiVo…but the Nintendo Switch did not show up.
Great sound, and my favorite part is the 5 HDMI inputs, make this a great receive to own. My only gripe is connecting the speaker wire to the connectors in the back. It’s a little awkward to do by unscrewing the connector, inserting the speaker wire into the base and tightening the connector back down.

Hands free camera that needs work
on June 15, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
The google clips camera is a neat idea, but it doesn't seem to work all that well. I have been struggling with it to find a real use and for me, I just can't find one. Sure it sounds good, a camera that will take candid photos, motion video (photos stitched together to appear as a video) and video of everyone and all you have to do is just set it somewhere (pointing at the action) twist the lens and let it do it's thing. Maybe after time it will recognize what it should capture instead of just everything it seems. It does get smarter if you link it to your google photos and tag people so it can recognize them. Battery life seems mediocre at best, but I am sure the fact that it seems to capture just about any movement has a major effect on it. Perhaps once it gets "smarter" it will last longer. Using the clips app to edit and save photos is easy and fun to use though. There are some additional options to set for the camera as capture rate (how often it shoots), quality (video , motion photo, animated gif) , Share Camera (useful for allowing others to have access to the camera), and a few others. Overall, it's an expensive camera that has a bit of a learning curve to fully utilize it.

How is the mic monitoring? Is it loud enough? The gen 1’s had pretty quiet mic monitoring, did they improve upon that or is it the same?
the mic monitoring seems very sensitive and you can adjust it with a separate volume. You can crank it down to pretty loud.

Power disturbances can cause equipment damage and lessen your electronic devices lifespan.During power disturbances, you also risk losing connection to your critical devices. Ensure you keep connected to what matters the most with APC Back-UPS.
What replacement battery does the UPS take?
the battery is non-user replaceable. I am sure you can crack it open and replace it, but its not like the old units that had a removable cover to replace the battery.

Set up in a snap: just plug in Google Home Mini, screw in the GE C-Life smart light bulb, and download the Google Home app to get started. Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."
Is the bulb soft/warm white or bright/daylight white?
