The improvement we wanted but didn't expect.
on December 29, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981

The new Bridge 12.3 Pro + is a plus in every way conceivable.
It has a better layout of keys, improved even-ness to backlighting, USB Type-C charging, and a MUCH improved touchpad to it's predecessor.
This is finally a TRUE converter for your Surface Pro 4,5 (2017), 6 or 7 into a full-on Laptop.
There are a few quirks:
- There is no FN-Lock feature, so if you need ALT-Fx capabilities in terminal emulators and other apps, this keyboard cannot supply it. The F-Keys default to their media/control functions and there's no way to change this. The only way to use Fn keys is to hold the Fn key while pressing. Unfortunately, Alt-FN is also the trackpad power toggle, so Alt-F4, for example, won't work. This is only a hinderance for several old business apps, so this will only affect certain use cases.

- The keyboard is NON-functional in BIOS or during Windows Setup. This will only affect a limited number of use cases, but was problematic when trying to use the keyboard to help my Daughter set up her new Surface Pro 5. I ended up going back to the keyboard cover during setup and config, then setting up the Brydge unit afterward again.
The battery life, even with backlighting is WEEKS of regular use. This thing is an unexpected new version with every improvement imaginable so its a FULLY RECOMMEND from me!

Excellent blue filter and screen protection!

My daughter uses her phone way too late into the night. She loses sleep with it. It keeps her awake. I've been looking for a solution beyond setting her night mode/blue light compensation in iOS directly, as she notices this and turns it off.
I applied this new filter to her new iPhone 12 Mini, and I was able to see a dramatic difference in her late-night screen time right away. Using the phone for a little bit at night is OK, but this allowed her to still get tired and sleep well after using it. Not only that, but it's an excellent tempered glass screen protector. Despite Apple's claims, this screen is scratchable and VERY breakable, and these protectors help keep that beautiful screen looking new, and preventing harmful blue light from affecting sleepiness and sleep patterns.
An excellent product that performs perfectly.

The best spot cleaner we've ever owned!
on December 29, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981
from Lebanon, OH
Finally! A cordless pet stain remover that WORKS and WORKS WELL!!
This Bissel not only has excellent agitation capabilities, but holds the right amount of solution and can clean a pretty good size area with one bottle. The battery life is excellent, and lasts for an entire house of spot cleanups (a norm in a house with a puppy or a small dog who still has accidents, not to mention the messes that the kids make!). It comes with two bottles of solution to get you started but the price isn't bad for replacement solution.
We've used several other spot cleaners and canister steamers from "the other guys" and they all failed or leaked within the first 3-6 months. This one is made extremely well, but also has the right components to avoid failure, including no hose or canister separation like some others.
All in all, this is THE spot cleaner I will recommend from now on.

Decent natural sound, strange design...
on November 30, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981
from Lebanon, OH
These AUSounds headphones sound great. Let me start there.
The audio output was excellent from something with such small drivers, and mids, as well as high frequency sounds were crisp and clear. Bass was a little on the light side, but that's what I expect from this price range, and I thought it resembled many "reference sound" tunings I've experienced in the past. There is support for AAC and SBC codecs, but not Apt-X which seems to be reserved for higher price tags. The Noise Cancelling is active, and worked great in my trials, though I question the target market with a product like this (ideally for runners, other workouts) where ANC tends to be less popular. I wasn't able to get a "hear-through" mode working to use the ANC to enhance hearing the environment while music or media played, which I thought would be more important to runners than the cancellation iteself.
Lets talk about the design of these headphones... A "behind the neck" band that seems to be going the way of the dodo with the advent of "true wireless" buds these days, even when ear hooks are involved - I didn't think anyone was still pushing this design which screams: "I'm from 2014!" The real issue I have with the design is twofold: First of all, the control buttons are on these "nodes" on the ends of the neckband instead of inline on the way up to the ears - Other brands mastered the "behind the neck" design by making the battery and inline controls part of the flow from earpiece to neckband, and any bulges were smartly aligned with a single flowing "curve" from one ear hook or bud to the other. These headphones have a neckband with two large bulges on the front, then a thinner ear-bound cable that protrudes in a different direction from each bulge to the ear hooks (and eventually the buds themselves). On top of this strange looking design, the control buttons (on the right end of the neckband) are placed on the INSIDE of the neckband. You know... Against your NECK instead of outward facing where they could be pressed while being worn. This led me to halfway disassembling my setup each time I wanted to make an adjustment until getting used to the button layout. Not ergonomic nor natural.
The second design "why" comes in the form of the earbuds themselves. While I love the ear hook and bud design in general, I found the magnetic feature, where the two buds could be held together around the user's neck when not in use, to be a strange design choice thanks to the wired ear hook design and the fact that the buds will connect with one another, but then hang twisted due to their weight and the hooks not sitting against your chest. This was a strange feature to adopt on headphones with such a strange design. Still puzzled by that one.
The headset comes with a microfiber pouch for a case, which can contain the included USB Type C charging cable also - Its an A-C cable, which I understand since most laptops and charging devices are still USB Type A, but I would have appreciated a USB-C to C cable just as much, being a Dell Precision and MacBook Pro user myself where USB-A ports are a thing of the past.

An excellent, yet thick, alternative to Apple's KB
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981
from Lebanon, OH
I've had a Logitech keyboard folio, in addition to Apple's keyboard product, for every iPad Pro I've owned (my current one is my third, and the first of the "new" 11" form factor). This keyboard folio works perfectly with the NEW iPad Air 10.9 (2020 design) as well as the 2018 and 2020 iPad Pro 11" - Which I own. This thing is made tough with strong polycarbonate frame and keyboard, but its covered in a soft-touch, textured, almost fabric-like material, giving it a woven finish. Its very reminiscent of some of Google's cases for the Pixel line in finish, as its gives the impression of fabric, while still being plastic and looks like it would hold up to dirt and debris pretty well.
As I mentioned, the frame is strong, holds the iPad securely, and (unlike the Apple solution) protects the sides and corners of the iPad.
As I mentioned, the frame is strong, holds the iPad securely, and (unlike the Apple solution) protects the sides and corners of the iPad.
Not only does the folio hold the iPad snugly and securely, but it also attaches the "Smart Connector" to the keyboard portion through the tablet case, so this folio uses Apple's native connector for Keyboard power and connection. This is a RARE find in 3rd party accessories and shows how closely Logi must have collaborated with Apple to develop this. They've done this before, but seemed to abandon the practice in the past few products, so I'm thrilled to see it back in such a comfy and slick form factor.
The folio also has a "flap strap" which magnetically secures it closed, and can also be folded back when in-use to stay out of the way and clasps both to the keyboard to hold things closed, and to the back of the tablet case to keep things tidy while in active use. This also provides a safety to the Apple Pen, which charges on top of the iPad Pro and Air, and is held on by this strap when closed. Speaking of that, the Apple Pen docking to the iPad Pro/Air is fully supported by this case, another rarity in some 3rd party folios.

This thing is thick as the keyboard is a bit bulkier than Apple's style-defining Magic Keyboard for iPad, but its also significantly more protective. This is now my go-to case for the iPad when I'm going to be on the road in harsh conditions or when traveling using it regularly on planes (Once that becomes normal again) and when camping where I bring the iPad as my only computer because its battery can hold up and I sometimes need to connect to the office when getting away.

Finally! Decent charging in-vehicle!
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981
from Lebanon, OH
With all of that DC current available in a vehicle, restricting the built-in USB charging to 5W was always troubling to me. These modern phones charge like tablets, and people use their tablets (and even small laptops) in vehicles all of the time. Plus, in the car, when my phone battery is about to go, I want a fast charge on a short trip usually - Thats where this product serves a divine purpose.
This thing is about the same size as other DC plug chargers out there, so I'm assuming its taking advantage of recent development in GAN charger tech. This outputs enough wattage to charge a small USB-C-based MacBook or iPad - But can also charge two modern iPhone or Android smartphones at full charging speed. This means quick top-ups while on the road. Exactly what today's tech consumers need!
In my tests my iPhone XS Max was charged quickly, and I was able to charge both my iPad Pro 11 (2018) and my 2020 MacBook Pro 13" with the unit (separately, not at the same time). The iPad charged normally with the adapter. The Mac was able to maintain its battery charge, but did not receive battery charge during the connected session, as 36w isn't enough to charge the MacBook Pro (and I think only 29w is made available to it due to Apple charging settings). My PixelBook Go experienced a similar phenomenon, which is still a feat, avoiding bulky AC inverters and carrying large bulky power bricks on road trips.
It will slow charge large devices and fast charge small devices. An excellent accessory for both quick top-ups and road trip power.

Excellent traditional wired security system
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981
from Lebanon, OH
This SWANN kit gives you everything you need to hard-wire a complete indoor/outdoor solution that doesn't rely on the cloud, and can store your recordings on premises for those looking to avoid trusting your footage and home/personal perimeter activities to one of the cloud-based security companies and whomever they might be acquired by as the industry consolidates.
This kit is pretty deluxe - everything you need to install the included 4 cameras in the box. It took me a while to arrange the cameras in installable places that gave me the visibility coverage I needed.
I started with the outdoor cameras. These were lightweight, small footprint and EASY to mount! They have great positionability with their ball-mount, and very flexible applications due to a small base. Some of them are mounted to soffits, some to side walls of the garage doorframe, and other places as needed in both inverted and upright positions.

They have great positionability with their ball-mount, and very flexible applications due to a small base. Some of them are mounted to soffits, some to side walls of the garage doorframe, and other places as needed in both inverted and upright positions.
The cameras themselves are pretty incredible with both heat detection (which worked well in my tests - Particularly in the darker areas of my yard when objects got close enough) to better motion sensing than I experienced with competing cameras that these SWANN models replaced. Night vision was just OK, as it sets off a white light when used, and doesn’t use IR and the siren-like alerts seem like a good deterrent but likely won’t get a lot of use in my use case, since we’re hardly ever in a position to catch someone live and need to scare them off the property. Our use case is more to have a recording of what happens in case there is an event...
The included WiFi indoor camera is of less interest to me, as constantly recording indoor activities is more or a niche interest for most, but in testing, worked well to track movement and has a magnetic base for some “interesting” mounting options. It connected well to my WiFi, even when 40+ft away from the router and with several walls between. It has excellent video quality and much easier placement/movement since it only requires powered outlet connectivity. It does NOT work with the DVR and really is just an add-on product and doesn’t work with the rest of the products at all. Requires a mobile device and app to operate. It's an odd inclusion.
The DVR itself has 1TB of storage, which sounds like quite a bit but higher end systems are coming with 2TB these days, but I’ve never needed more than 1TB without a desire to hoard old video data beyond 2-3 weeks for some reason. In the “security” use case, 1TB will meet your needs. If you’re looking at this from a “nosy neighbor” or “surveillance” use case, more storage will be needed to retain footage over time, but why would you really want to do that unless you have a business case? The DVR connects easily to any HDMI display, and can be connected wirelessly to the network via the included USB WiFi dongle, which allows for flexibility for installation away from the business or home router where a display can be accessed.
The included wiring and mounting hardware converts the required power and data connections to the cameras into a very thin, pliable wire that can be tucked into siding, and slips under/between door seals nicely to ease in the process of routing outdoor cameras back indoors. Fishing this wire through walls is much easier than bulkier wire sets required by some of the competition. There’s also plenty of wire included to drive connectivity to the DVR from all of the out points of the cameras.
I didn’t add the system to my Google Home/Nest setup, as I wasn’t sure what the value add was there and there’s very little mention of it in the instructions or on SWANN’s website. I assume there is just voice command abilities as I have read nothing about having the ability to view these camera feeds on Nest Hub devices or Chromecast, which would be the only valuable use. I dont do Alexa at all, so no way to check on that.
This is a comprehensive traditional digital security system. The reliability and video quality of wired closed-circuit connections can’t be disputed but the wireless guys are catching up fast. This system will definitely meet your needs if you know what you’re getting into installation-wise. An excellent system overall!

A great new value option in true-wireless headsets
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981
from Lebanon, OH
JLAB does it again! Great sound quality in their somewhat standard packaging in a new adult-sized wireless headset at a great value!
This headset is unique as it brings some of the better comfort and simplicity from some of their youth models, couples that with better sounding drivers and reliable Bluetooth connectivity and a new earcup design... The cups are shaped to more closely conform to the outside of the ear as these are an "around ear" design. This leads to a smaller form factor, a better ear coverage/fit, and in my experience, better comfort.
The headphones produce sharp highs and decent lows - Excellent sound quality for their price range, but noticeable muddiness in their midrange, but not more than most other Bluetooth headphones that only support the A2DP profile. If these supported a higher quality codec such as AptX, they might fare better, but they'd also cost more.
The rest of the JLAB build quality is par for their other headsets. Some might consider them kind of simplistic and 'plasticky', but I find them more durable than stylish.
For the money they are an excellent option.

The best wireless gaming headset option
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981
from Lebanon, OH
The A20 wireless has excellent audio quality and offers a comfortable, yet bulky design. For gaming I don't take any stars off for bulky, loud designs as its kind of the norm for gaming hardware, whether console or PC gaming.
I got good feedback that the mic quality was improved on this headset over my previous wired model, and the headphone volume and clarity is great. The headset is adjustable to a wide variety of sizes, and fit my large head well.
This headset seems to be one of the better I've used. I don't mess around with virtual surround settings too much nor have I dealt with many of the other wireless high end headset features, but if you're looking for good stereo quality and great microphone/chat functionality, this is your headset!

Excellent True Wireless Value buds with ANC - For
on October 23, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy1981
from Lebanon, OH
These JLAB True Wireless Sport buds have everything that a teen or casual listener need for a GREAT experience - Both in use, and in charging. There’s just one caveat: They aren’t for small ears often associated with teens and young adults, but work great for workouts for those who have the right fit.
The buds come in pretty typical JLAB packaging, and include multiple eartips, and a VERY welcome foam eartip type (similar to a COMPLY tip purchased aftermarket). These should make the fit process work for most. MOST.
The earbuds have an unusual design - It looks similar to other “ear hook wireless buds” but the bud itself is somewhat bean shaped. It does NOT do well with people that have shallow ears (a shallow concha) or a small ear tragus, or a passive antitragus (Look up parts of the outer ear for help on this). I had my wife and 3 daughters all try on these headphones (Ages 38, 12, 10 and 6.) Only the 12-year-old could wear them comfortably and even then she required the ear hooks to be positioned a good deal forward with the buds almost facing downward into her ear canal for a firm hold, but audio quality was still reported to be good.
The overall kit is a great setup: The buds come in a sleek case that pockets well thanks to its beveled edges and flat layout. The battery life holds up - A full case charge lasted over a week of daily use. Not all day, mind you, but several hours of use per day of music while working out or doing school work.
The case has another feature that (despite the fit issues on some youth) seems totally tailored to the younger crowd - A USB cable integrated Into the case! (Kids lose stuff that isn't attached. My only real complaint is that this ties you to USB-A connectivity to charge it wired, which is still quite ubiquitous, but a Type-C version should be considered on the roadmap as manufacturers of other charging things and laptop manufacturers are starting to drop the bulky “A” ports for their svelte “Type C” nearly-universal counterparts. None of this is critical for this year’s model though, and wireless qi-compatible charging is available, much like what’s offered by much higher priced headphones from the major brands.
The headphones are a very complete package, and competitive with the “big guys” - If you have the ears for them.

Set up a gaming station with this LG 24-inch Full HD monitor. AMD Radeon FreeSync technology eliminates screen tearing and stuttering, letting you play AAA titles smoothly, while the IPS display with a wide viewing angle delivers bright, vivid visuals from almost any direction. This LG 24-inch Full HD monitor has an antiglare coating for minimizing reflections.
How do you adjust the viewing angle on this monitor. Assembled according to directions it simply sits upright. The descriptions say it can be viewed by multiple angles, but I don't see where you can do it.
Hello - The description is referring to the fact that the monitor shows accurate color and lighting when viewed from other angles than straight ahead - Most older/TN displays show about a 45-50 degree angle cone of accurate color (approximately 20-25 degrees above, below, and to the left or right of facing the screen at-center. These newer IPS panels can show almost 180 degrees of accurate color and lighting from any viewing angle - Think about your TV: When you sit directly ahead of it and when you sit to one side or the other of it, the picture looks largely the same - Those are IPS panels - The older TN panels are cheaper (usually) and are features on budget laptops and budget monitors - But IPS is taking hold as the standard for its superior angle viewability...
This doesn't mean the monitor supports any other mounted angles, just that its angles to be viewed at are greatly improved over cheaper monitors, and most in its price range.

Yes! It works fine with any platform of computer - Any device that can output video via HDMI at 1080p resolution technically can use this as a display - It just wont output audio with the video. It is a video-only device. Same as most monitors.

Is this a Nitro 5?
Yes it's the Nitro 5 - AN515-54 - But it doesn't have the advertised 144Hz panel of the Nitro 5 2019s as advertised. Everything else is the same spec. Might be a special value edition with these drives and a cheaper panel on-board... I know its a much more expensive laptop overseas.

What speed is the hard drive? 5400 or 7200 RPM? Thanks, Greg

It's a Toshiba 5400 RPM drive. Hard to find 7200s these days in 2.5" form factor.

Does this model come with a 144hz screen ?
Not that I can tell - Unless there's a special driver not advertised on their site to enable it. Seems to be a 60Hz on this model. Not sure which of the Nitro 5's have it - They were advertised to all have it so...

Just finished setting this up, advertised as a tri band router but I'm only seeing a single 2.4 GHz band and a single 5 GHz band... where is the third?
The third band is a separate 5GHz band for backhaul. It is what the "mesh" runs on between nodes and is not configurable. Its there, just facilitating your network connection between nodes.
