So far so good. Every now and then the fan starts up for just long enough to make a noise. No rhyme or reason as to when. Not a loud hum, just enough to notice

As a Marvell follower since the mid sixties, ya I'm old, I did not like the division in the ranks so to speak. I wish they would have left the politics out at Marvell.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business. Where men and women once stood in defense of their nation the employees of Private Military Corporations (PMCs) are deployed, armed with the latest technologies and an arsenal of advanced weapons. Soldiers no longer need to specialize in any area of combat — equipped with powerful exoskeletons, they become the masters of all battlefield skills. In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

Add remote control convenience to any light in your home with this Philips Hue white starter kit. Connect your smartphone to the Philips Hue Bridge device to switch lamps on and off from any location or create a lighting schedule. Fully dimmable, the bulbs included with this Philips Hue white starter kit let you create ambiance in seconds.
 

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.
