The Rig 500 Generation 2 Does Not Disappoint
on July 8, 2021
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I am a huge fan of the original Rig 500 headset. The generation 2 Rig 500 improves on everything from the original. The ear cups are comfortable and the headset size is easy to adjust. I have sensitive ears, so I have to adjust the headset every few hours for long play sessions, but it is easy to make even small adjustments for comfort, or big adjustments for different sized heads.
I was worried that the new version might remove the inline volume control, but it is, thankfully, still present. The sound is amazing, and clear, as is the microphone performance.
FYI, the Dolby Atmos license is well worth it, be sure to redeem it ASAP to get the most out of your headset.

Great Gaming Combo
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This is a wonderful gaming setup. Everything is high quality and easy to setup.
The headset sound quality is excellent, and they are very comfortable. The mouse is also comfortable for people with small to medium hands (I can't speak to large hands as I don't have large hands).
Overall, I am very happy with this setup and would definitely buy it again if the need ever arises.
GREAT GIFT!

Work Great, Use Your Favorite Glasses
on May 25, 2021
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I have been considering some of the glasses with speakers built in to them, but was always worried they wouldn't be as comfortable as my current glasses. The JLAB True Wireless JBuds for Frames solves this by letting any pair of glasses become a pair of smart glasses. Everything works and sounds great, and it is wonderful knowing this will follow me to my next pair of glasses.

Do you experience dropped calls, slow internet speeds, or the inability to send and receive texts while you’re on the road or enjoying some time off the beaten path? With the weBoost Drive Reach RV, you can improve your cell signal, wherever your adventures take you. Designed to enhance signal coverage for RVs, campers and trailers, especially in remote areas. The weBoost Drive Reach RV Cellular Signal Booster uses the latest technology to pick up an existing cell signal, route it the booster, then broadcast that amplified signal into your RV. To install the Drive Reach RV, first select where to mount the outside antenna using the provided ladder bracket. This is the most important step as it impacts the overall performance of the booster. Check that the antenna is at least 12 inches from all other antennas and openings to avoid interference. Use the modular mast extensions to ensure the antenna is above any obstructions. Once the outside antenna is installed, run the coax cable behind the weather stripping of an opening, like a door, window, or pop out slide, into your RV. Next, place the inside antenna on a table or countertop near where you plan to use your devices the most. Then run the coax cables to the booster. Plugin both the outside and inside cables. Now, plug in the power cord to the booster. Finally, plug the power cord into your vehicle’s power supply and turn on the booster. When the green light is on, it’s working. All coax cable needed for installation is provided. Stay connected, wherever you choose to explore, with the weBoost Drive Reach RV Cellular Signal Booster!

I know this is intended for RVs, but this worked great out at my parents cabin. They could typically not receive phone calls or data at their cabin, this solved everything!

I love my new Brother Color Inkjet printer. I only took about 10 minutes to setup, and it prints beautiful color pictures, FAST.
It is much smaller than my previous Brother All-in-One printers as well, which is nice, meaning I can put it just about anywhere. Combine that with all of the wireless capabilities, such as wireless home network printing, cloud printing, and cloud scanning, and you've got a really flexible printer that fits just about anywhere.

An Amazing Business Machine
on May 5, 2021
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
With quarantine, I've fully adapted and embraced remote and flexible working. That has led me to want the ultimate portable workstation. The Surface Laptop 4 is definitely the answer I was looking for. Yes, it is sleek and stylish, but that is not what I'm after. I want performance.
This is where Surface Laptop 4 REALLY delivers. I has lightning fast bootups, apps launch incredibly fast. The touchscreen is easy to use and very responsive. Pictures come out great. TH best part: I can go ALL day using the Surface Laptop without needing to charge. Literally I need to recharge myself (sleep) before this machine needs charged. I've used it for as much as 12-13 hours in a single day.
If you are looking for a mobile workhorse that also looks and feels good, this is your new laptop.

The HP LaserJet M209dwe is a great, simple printer. Setup is super fast, and print quality is great. If you don't have a need to print in color, this is a great option, especially with 6 months of free toner.
Simple setup, great quality prints.

Easy, Quick Setup
on May 1, 2021
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Epson EX3280 is quick and easy to setup and use. It takes about 5 minutes to get it up and running once it is out of the box. It truly just works.
As for the brightness, it is great for business presentations, even when you can't turn all of the lights off. Outside is another story. We put it outside to have a movie day, and the brightness of the sun far outshine this projector. We had to wait until the sun was down to have any kind of decent results. That said, remember that this isn't even really intended as a projector for anything but business, but my daughter and I enjoy playing Xbox games on such a big screen.

Easy Setup, Great App
on April 19, 2021
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I found the setup of this system very easy, though do keep in mind that this is a wired system, so you do need some cable management, and may need a drill, etc. for installation. That said, I feel that your average person wouldn't have an issue installing yourself.
This isn't my first SWANN product, but it is my first SWANN 4k system, and the upgrade is well worth it if you have property, investments, etc. to protect. The price is also great, even when compared to lower resolution systems.
Finally, I found the app easy to use and well thought out. Incredibly convenient way to check up on things, and even to get notified when there is activity on the cameras.

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.

Yes, Google Home will work regardless of if the primary account holder is around. Great question!
