I lost the original in a move. This looks and feels the same. I didn't realize it controls phone volume, I wonder if the old one did.

The NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with simple plug-and-play, compact desktop design, and auto-sensing ports provides easy, reliable, and affordable connectivity for your home or small office network. A rugged metal enclosure, silent, fanless design, and both wall-mount and rack-mount kits allow for convenient deployment to build out your SOHO network. Auto-MDI/MDIX (eliminating the need for crossover cables), jumbo packet support, auto-negotiation for automatic connection at highest speeds, non-blocking switching architecture for maximum throughput, and energy-efficient technology for power savings (IEEE 802.3az and short cable power reduction) make the GS324 the perfect switch for the SOHO environment.

This is the least expensive intro into the Hue network. Great starter kit. The Phillips app is free and easy to set up and use. You will need to have an available port on your router for the bridge. Plenty of features on the free app but there are some pretty elaborate ones for sale.
You wont regret this purchase. I bought four, three as gifts.

I leave my ipad propped up at 45 degree angle on the coffee table in front of the couch. The back needs a little more reinforcement or stiffness. it tends to fall back with little effort. All in all it's well made, nice stitching, quality materials but I think I bought the wrong model for my use.

I we have a Mini 4 already. The screen size on the ipad is a nice upgrade. I traded in an old Mini 2 and could not be more pleased. I use both of these for our home automation mostly. I'm working on putting one in each room. Phillips Hue and Sonos primarily. The Sonos works nicely with our Apple Music. We got 128gb version. 2500 songs and 16 Hd movies and plenty of room for more. iPad pro next !

This is my first Cyberpower. I have two APC 1500vA and have been pleased. The cyberpower is quieter than then APC was at first. The fan would surge on and off for no apparent reason on the APC. It doesn't anymore but I almost took it back.
Best thing you could do for your system, Entertainment or computer.

Add a second monitor at work and needed this since I don't have a good video card at work.
It's a little bulky but its behind the tower so I don't have to look at it.

As an Apple fan, I am disappointed in the way this operates. Seldom does Siri provide the song or answer to question asked. We have Apple music but this will not play a song unless it's in a playlist. Don't put it near a TV and watch the news. We see Siri light up when they talk about Syria. They don't say HEY SYRIA but it comes on anyway. Maybe next gen. Time and temp is always good...

Which 2 white bulb starter kit is better? This one or the other one sold here for the exact same price? I see that these are a bit smaller and aren’t energy saving but it looks like this SKU number is of a newer model?

second generation versus first

Protect your office or entertainment equipment with this CyberPower LX1500GU 1500VA battery back-up system, which enables safe shutdown in the event of a power failure and features AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) to provide consistent power levels.
 

If a mini fridge were to be plugged in to it, would that do any harm or short a circuit in the home?

If the wattage of the fridge is more than the outlet on the UPS is good for, it will blow a fuse in the UPS.
Check the specs for wattage in the owners manual for the fridge. It should be ok since both the wall outlet and UPS outlets are rated at 15 amps. How long it will last on battery backup is another story. The compressor will drain the battery pretty quick when the fridge kicks on.

Bring soft illumination to your favorite nook with this white Philips Hue table lamp. It mimics natural light to help you relax and feel energized when you wake up, and it's bright enough to read by during story time. This Philips Hue table lamp connects to the Hue bridge, so you can control it remotely.
 

How big is it

Picture a Hersey kiss without the curl. Its open on the bottom (hollow) and you can change the white bulb to color if you want. Sorry, 10 inches diameter, 8 inches high. It does take up a lot of room, but you'll love it. I bought two.

What's the difference between this one? And the 30 dollar one? Which one is better?

I think I understand your question.
The 3 meter one has the power supply and wi fi guts built into it.
The30.00 one is an extension for the 3 meter. They plug into each other.
The 30.00 one doesn’t have the power supply.

Power up your laptop with this Insignia 90W Universal Laptop Charger. The overvoltage, short-circuit and overheating protection reduces the risk of damage to your devices while several included tips enable compatibility with most laptops. This Insignia 90W Universal Laptop Charger has a super-long 10 foot cord to allow convenient placement of your laptop while powering up.
 

Will the Insignia AC adapter charge an Lenovo Ideapad 100s. I plug it in and it says charging and light gets brighter but I don't see battery power going up. Please let me know. I set it to 4.5

yes, this was bought for an HP convertible. It runs a little on the warm side, but has not got hot.
