An Interesting Phone Accessory
on January 10, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru

The Speck GrabTab is an interesting alternative to "pop sockets." I like the GrabTab because it looks more professional than "pop sockets," but it also is a bit more flush with the phone. An interesting new device I never knew I needed.

Excellent Headphones with Assistant Access!
on December 13, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
First off, the battery life is amazing. These headphones can last for up to 24 hours. That means you may not need a charge on a business trip, even if it is two weeks.
These headphones sound AMAZING, with very rich highs and lows. The noise cancelling also works incredibly well, shedding unwanted outside noises. Don't use these for jogging with the noise cancelling on, as you won't know what is going on around you - use monitor mode instead, as it allows you to better hear what is around you.
Having access to your digital assistant on your phone by just double-tapping the button is great as well, as I can get information, or just change playlists, without taking out my phone. I can also ask the time, call people, and get answers to questions without missing a beat.

Awesome Battery Life!
on December 3, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Dell Inspiron Chromebook is an awesome laptop, mostly due to its large 14" screen, combined with a 10 hour battery life. That means you can spend plenty of time watching videos, writing, drawing, and doing other work, without worrying about the computer running out of juice. This can be especially valuable as a work computer, as it won't run out of power in a typical 8 hour day. Do keep in mind that the 10-hour battery is dependent on the amount of use and power drain. Using Bluetooth speakers, or having your brightness all the way up will reduce your battery time.
This Chromebook starts up almost immediately, meaning you can get right to work, even at a moments notice. The backlit keyboard is also great, meaning that even if you are in a lecture or presentation with little or no lighting, you can still see the keys as you type.
The pen that is included is awesome for taking notes or drawing, and it fits away in a compartment in the computer itself, so everything is self-contained.
As with all Chromebooks, the Dell Inspiron Chromebook has access to the Google Play library, meaning that virtually any apps (or games) you use on your phone, will translate over to this device. This is includes Google Play books, which means you can use this as an eBook reader as well, but when using it as an eBook reader, I typically set it in front of me, as it is a bit heavy to hold for evening reading.

Awesome Blender at a Great Price
on December 3, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Ninja blenders are a great, affordable alternative to more expensive brands. The motor is powerful enough for any shakes (or anything else) you might need to blend. I have a shake daily, and the only downside to more powerful blenders is that they are louder than the less powerful units. That said, don't let that stop you from getting one of these, they are well worth a bit of extra noise.
Since the blades are removable, keeping the unit clean is easy.
The "FreshVac" technology allows you to remove oxygen and other gasses from whatever is being blended, helping keep the froth down, should you so desire. It is a cool feature, but sometime I want extra froth.
When you have an awesome blender, be sure to scour the web for recipes, as I have found some amazing smoothies, and now have one every day for breakfast.

Use the Google Smart Light Starter Kit to control the lights using just your voice. 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."

A Great Smart Light AND a Free Google Home Mini
on December 3, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Google Smart Light Starter Kit coldn't be eaier to setup. If you are someone who already uses "OK Google" commands, this will be second nature to you. Being able to control your light via your voice, is so nice. You can turn the light on or off, or dim it. It also comes with a Google Home Mini that is fully functional.
A Great Christmas gift (for me).

Awesome!
on November 28, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Having used other Nina Blenders, this blender does not disappoint. The motor is powerful enough for all of your blending needs. I have a smoothie, made from spinach, blueberries, and bananas every morning. This unit makes quick work of my smoothies, and they are delicious.
Specific to this unit it the "FreshVac" technology. This is essentially a pump to remove oxygen from what you are blending, which will reduce the amount of foam produced, and keep your food fresh for a longer period of time. I typically don't use this though, as I am a fan of foam.
Overall, this is an amazing blender that will satisfy all of your need, from nutritional, to hosting parties, and I highly recommend it.

Great Speeds, Great Coverage
on November 10, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I like the new design for the Linksys Velop System. While there is still one of the "tower" units, the other two nodes mount directly on the electric wall socket, saving valuable desk space, and helping reduce the clutter of wires.
The Velop mesh system is easy to setup, only taking a few minutes per node. I wish they could all be set up at the same time, but that is the biggest complaint I have about these, and that isn't much of a complaint.
Once setup, the Velop system is easy to manage via the mobile app from your cell phone. This is especially great, as I can troubleshoot my home network, even when I am away.
I am seeing excellent speeds, and no dead-spots in my house or yard, which is about 1/3 acre.

Great for Traveling!
on November 10, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Norelco Bodygroom 7000 is a sleek, compact, full body trimmer that does the job, and does it well. It is great for traveling with a battery rated at 80 minutes, which is plenty of time for my typical facial/neck shaves while traveling.
It is a self-contained unit, meaning you don't have to bring extra pieces when traveling. It is fully adjustable instead of needing different attachments for different lengths. It will also stay sharp, as it has self-sharpening blades.
Best of all, it can be used in the shower, which is great for speeding up your morning routine.

Super Easy to Use
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I've always heard it was difficult to be properly setup for Twitch streaming, and other streaming seervices, especially when they don't allow for a direct video feed pass through, as you would be playing with a lag, making it impossible to perform well on most games. The AVerMedia - Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus has direct passthrough, up to 4k, meaning that you can play your best while recording.
Another great features of this device is that you can use it with or without your computer being connected. This means it is easier to move into your game room without having to move your entire PC setup or your gaming setup to record or stream.
It is incredibly easy to set up, I just wish it came prepackaged with a webcam, so you had everything you need to get started for a full-on gaming channel, but that is just nit-picking. This is an awesome device!

A Great Replacement for an Indoor Grill & Griddle
on October 23, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
We replaced our previous grill with the DeLonghi 5 in 1 Grill, and you should too. If you use a similar type grill in your home often, or a griddle, this is a a must have. It replaces both, is so easy to use, and most importantly: is easy to clean.
The DeLonghi 5 in 1 Grill provides a larger grilling (or griddle) surface than your traditional similar type grill, but it has a small form factor, and folds, meaning you can save quite a bit of space, especially if you are replacing a grill and a griddle with this.
All I can say it is it easy to use, and the food comes out perfect.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?
It actually has a coaxial cable plug-in so that you can use any OTA antenna with it.You should be able to use the digital antenna you mentioned in your question. That said, you can get a new, Smart 4k TV for around $300-$450, so I would go that route unless you are on an extremely tight budget. 4k, plus Roku is a much better option in my opinion. If nothing else, Roku isn't going anywhere.

Can this be used if the phone the main account is tied to is not at home? IE: Could my wife ask it to play music from Google Play if I'm not there? I'm not asking about family accounts but if this will remember my account if my phone isn't around?
Yes, Google Home will work regardless of if the primary account holder is around. Great question!
