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.

Nostalgic camera, but pricey...
on June 11, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
I found some old Polaroid photos that my mom had a while back and I thought that they were a pretty neat idea. Instant photos in your hand, great! In today's age who actually prints out photos anymore? Enter the Polaroid OneStep2 camera. It sports a classic design like the original, but offers a few improvements. One, the battery is rechargeable, the flash is built in, and you can adjust the contrast settings. It captures the essence of one of the original designs nicely. The experience is pretty close to what my mother has told me the original was after I let her take some photos using it. After hitting the shutter, it will spit out the photo with a protective film that rolls back into the camera. You let the photo develop over about 10-15 minutes. The quality is retro indeed so don't expect high quality photos with this. Also, the photos come in packs of 8 and they have both black and white, and Color as options. Expect to pay about $2 a photo so these are not very cheap so make sure you line up your shot properly and adjust for your light conditions. Its a fun little camera to play with and I don't really see anyone using it for their vacation photos. Unless you know what you are getting I can't really recommend this to just anyone, it's definitely a camera for certain folks out there.

Very good sounding headphones
on June 7, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
The Sony SP600N Sports Wireless headphones are a solid headset that sounds great and looks great too.
Fit: They fit snug in my ears and they do not feel like they want to fall out. Sony includes 4 different size ear gels and two sets of ear ‘holders’ that go into the crevice above your ear canal to help secure the devices. I had to play around with the different combinations until I found the right solution for me.
Sound: They sound really good once you find your perfect fit. The extra bass is awesome and the treble is clear and I am very happy with the way they sound.
Sound: They sound really good once you find your perfect fit. The extra bass is awesome and the treble is clear and I am very happy with the way they sound.
Battery: Enough to last through just about any workout for sure and possibly a few. I only had to charge mine back up after about a 5 hour session of constant use and I am happy with that. I did have Noise Cancelling off with that time. They seem to charge back to full in just over and hour and 15 minutes.
App: The Sony connect app is pretty good. It’s the same app that you use for the new line of portable BT speakers that Sony has out now. You can fine tune a lot of settings in there and check battery level, Ambience, and Noise cancelling options and of course and EQ function.
Device Buttons: Each ear bud only has one button that will do different functions. The left ear bud button toggles between Noise Cancellation/ Ambience sound/ OFF. The Right will Play/Pause, answer phone/ activate your phone’s digital assistant, also, a double press will of the right button will skip forward and a triple press will skip back. Not the best use of the buttons IMO, I wish they would have just added more buttons.

The Right will Play/Pause, answer phone/ activate your phone’s digital assistant, also, a double press will of the right button will skip forward and a triple press will skip back. Not the best use of the buttons IMO, I wish they would have just added more buttons.
Cons: I was not able to find a way to use the ear buds to adjust the volume and skipping back and forward is not great.. I had trouble getting google assistant to do that for me using the Right ear bud button. That is my biggest gripe with these though. Also, NC didn’t seem to have that much effect that I could tell.
Verdict: They are pretty good for wireless headphones, they don’t have the greatest battery life, but are good enough for most people. Sound is awesome and call quality is really good as well with the HD feature. NC feature is more of a gimmick on these than anything and ambient sound needs a little work also.

Stay aware and immersed in your music with these Sony wireless in-ear headphones. Digital noise cancellation blocks out external chaos while the Ambient Sound Mode lets in the noises you need to hear. These Sony wireless in-ear headphones work with Google Assistant for hands-free research and commands at the gym or on the run.

NC feature, not great, but sound is great!

The Sony SP700N True Wireless headphones are quickly becoming my favorite headphones that I use a lot. They have a few quirks that I am learning to live with though, but other than that they are pretty great.

Sound: They sound really good once you find your perfect fit. The bass is awesome and the treble is clear and I am very happy with the way they sound.
Battery: Not the best on the market. Out of the box I put them in the charging case and when the light turned green, I thought they were done. However, they only lasted about 20 minutes before dying. I have since charged them up as instructed and they seem to last pretty close to 3 hours. Charging case will provide a few charge ups on the go as well, but it takes about an hour or two to charge up in my testing.

That is my biggest gripe with these though. Also, NC didn’t seem to have that much effect that I could tell. Also, syncing to my phone via NFC was not working either. I ended up using BT to sync and had no issues.
Verdict: I think there are better headphones out there for around the same price, but these are not too bad and I am overall happy with them and seem to like them more each day.

A decent overall mouse but flawed software...
on April 20, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
I really like the look and feel of this mouse. The semi-rubber like texture on top and where your thumb rests feels good and snug in your hand. All of the 9 buttons feel secure and respond well when you click them. The LED lighting effects are pretty neat as well. You have three options on how to connect this mouse. You can use either the included 2.4 GHz dongle, BlueTooth, or the USB cable that is included. The battery only lasts 24 hours, so if you are gaming alot, I recommend using the USB cable, its actually a really nice cable that is wrapped in woven type material. The sensor that is inside the mouse is super fast and responsive and works on most surfaces. My glass desk was fine for it, but I generally use a mousepad. They have included an additional winged tip for your pinky finger that just attaches via a magnet. Pretty slick. I found the software to be super clunky and not very user friendly. I found that there was a firmware update that I had to do, but even that was a pain. You are supposed to be able to create different profiles for color schemes, dpi settings, button settings ect., but I have not been able to export them to the mouse. There is no clear cut way to do that as far as I can see. Also, the profile settings will not work via BT, only the USB or dongle option. Overall, its a nice mouse and I plan on using it for more than just gaming, but I do love the sniper button to help steady my shot when it counts the most!

Great reception where I live
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: jago
from Sparks, NV
First of all, if you don't live in an area that you can get reception then this may not work for you. Luckily, they have a website were you can put in your address and see how far the TV station antenna is from you. My farthest one is about 15 miles and I live in an area that is surrounded by small mountains from where the antenna are broadcasting from. I currently have this set up just inside by living room next to the TV in a window. My reception has been pretty good. Bad weather can affect it a bit though, but I haven't seen too much of that...mostly just a few seconds of artifacts on the screen. I am getting about 40 local channels and I am happy about that. This is replacing the Mohu leaf (non-powered) that I have to move to different positions around the window to get certain stations, so I am very happy about getting all of them without having to move anything. I like the design of this and if you were to install it along the roof line of your house it would blend in nicely. I plan on installing this in my attic to protect it from the elements, although it appears that it will hold up pretty well even if installed outside. About my only gripe is that it is difficult to install the coax cable to the back of the antenna, but this allows a clean look from the front of it. Overall, I am very happy with this. It comes with a few different clips and screws for various mounting points. I installed the power adapter inline with the coax and the USB cable to the back of my Tivo Bolt which seems to work out pretty well.

Asking the people that bought this mouse, have they fixed the wireless connection issues ??? Any software updates to address the problem ??? Thank you in advance.....
I have been using it for a few days now, I did do a firmware update right away and I haven't noticed any connection issues yet. I have been using BT and 2.4GHz dongle.

Its wireless design provides reliable, multilayer protection and avoids interruptions from cut phone lines and power outages, and it connects to an app for remote operation. This SimpliSafe security system is easy to install and customizable to homes of any size for flexible use.
Can more entry sensors or detectors be added to this unit afterwards? Or is the maximum amount four/one?
I am not sure if there is a max number of sensors, but you can add more if you need them. I am just not sure what the number is. But if you are planning on putting them on an area with many windows, they recommend getting a glass breakage sensor and motion sensor to cover those areas.

Will currently installed SimpliSafe sensors, etc. work with this new base unit, or will they all need to be replaced? Thank you.
I believe they need to be replaced with the new sensors. I saw that someone asked this very question on Facebook and simpisafe responded that the new unit only works with the new sensors.

What walkman are compatible with these headphones?
only the tape walkman. j/k I think most devices can pair with this. You also get a 3.5mm cable and a 3.5mm jack on the headphones so yes, an old tape walkman will work.

Hello, I bought the my xps 2 days ago. I am really concern about the cooling system because it is way too warm. Compare to my friend MacBook Air, it's Much warmer. Does anybody feel the laptop too warm? Even when It is just on charge Or in light use...
mine gets a little warm, but not too hot. I think its pretty safe and i don't fear it getting too hot that it will burn itself out. However, I haven't had mine running super intensive processes for long periods of time.

Can I add additional ssd on this laptop? Is it expandable?
its a sealed device, and there is no place to install an additional SSD, but you can get a microSD and use that for storage as well. You can probably make windows think its another HD and use it as extended storage.
