Simple Comfy ANC HeadPhones
on April 16, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
These are a great long lasting battery ANC headphones. Setup and pairing was easy and sounds good to me. They come with a nice case for transport and an Aux Headphone jack which is a nice touch and I still appericate.
Active noise cancelling works really well with this and they have a comfortable all day fit over the ear making wearing them for extended periods no problem. Best part is it has a long battery even with ANC enabled and I could get through a whole week without needing to charge.
Again as I said sound on the device is great and even though I wear glasses didn't have a problem wearing these all day long.

Posted by: OmieOne

Love this Bluray/Streaming deck. Easy to setup and connect to my Wifi and small enough that I can port it outside with my Projector for movie nights with kids.
Setting was easy on the network and adding the streaming services I wanted. With the Bluray player for when Internet acts up its perfect me and I highly recommend if you need a small, easy to use bluray/streaming service deck.

Good VA Panel
on March 23, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall this is a good VA panel.
It has a VESA mount, which is needed to add above my main monitor.
Dell provides a number of different color options to help adjust the color to your preference. It definitely took me a bit to dial it for me next to my other monitor. But has good whites and blacks and it runs at 165hz with FreeSync. If you want to get the 165hz make sure to go into Windows and set it 165 under monitor settings otherwise it will be stuck at 60hz.
Also while not officially Gsync Compatible my nvidia control panel allowed me to set it as long as I set it as override.
It works well and the curve is nice on a smaller monitor and overall if you need a high refresh 1080p monitor this is definitely one that I am happy with.

Great Smart Lock
on March 14, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall this is a great smart lock, for someone who isn't handy they made installation in my door very easy, helped that I had a deadbolt separate in my garage from door knob so it was a straight swap. They even have video's online which was a nice touch for a noob like me which helped raise my comfort level in doing the install. It took me maybe 60 minutes or so, but that is because I kept rewatching the video and doubting myself then the difficulty.
Overall this is an awesome lock once installed because it comes with keys (5), fingerprint (which is great for the kids, and works very fast once setup), PIN which is handy for guests as you can change it or an APP via BT or Wi-Fi.
The fingerprint reader was more what I wanted for the kids, once we got them the stand still and register them in the device it works a treat and very quickly. Being able to have pins for guests is nice since you can have multiple and deactivate them at anytime is handy when Grandma visits she can get and in and out without needing a key or worrying about getting locked out.
Also you can register the device to auto lock with is great again with kids when they go out, it will just lock the door and I appreciate it via the app which is great. Its a heavy and solid lock, the main downside is it is battery powered. Eufy does state the battery should last a year between charges and the app itself will warn you and if you have the key it is a good backup.
My only worry would be how long the company will support a lock. Normally you buy a lock on your door and don't change it unless you have a good reason, they just tend to work. With all the fancy software involved, there are always bugs so I worry after a few years there won't be any updates and I'll either have to remove the battery and use it as a dumb lock (I do have 5 keys so that is more then enough) or get purchase a new one. Hopefully they continue to support and bug fix over a longer course so the device remains secure and usable and I won't have to replace and they will continue to have spare batteries to replace after a few years. Beyond the concern of increasing my e-waste footprint this is a great lock and does meet my family needs and removes the worry my kids will lose the keys to the house and know they can always get in which is great. Overall I would recommend this lock if you are looking for one as it is very handy.

Great Midrange Gaming Laptop
on March 14, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Easy setup out of the box. ASUS only installs its own software and overall its CPU usage is limited and its very easy to uninstall if required. Therefore setup was a piece of cake with some minor updates via the software for BIOS/Drivers required, so within about an hour you are fully updated and ready to game.
The GPU for a Laptop has enough kick to allow you to game without issue at 1080p, esp. if you don't push RTX stuff too heavily as the max. power of the video card is only 85 watts I believe while the full desktop version consumes over 200+ watts, so you won't get 1:1 performance but still strong and I had no problem playing Hitman III/Division 2/Halo/Dead by Daylight/Immortals Fenyx Rising. It did it's job well, though when the laptop got warm from extended gaming the fans do ramp up and as expected are loud. Since I use headphones it wasn't too bad for me, but others in the room might notice. When I ran some benchmarks with 3DMark I saw temps get around 78C under max load which is more then acceptable for CPU/GPU but do highly recommend you play on a table with clear ventilation to keep it that way.
The 240 Gsync IPS screen is very nice and helps remove the need for tearing and while I won't be doing pro color work the high refresh rate is awesome with the colors and viewing angles of an IPS panel. Only thing I plan to do at a later date is add an additional drive for games and increase the RAM to 32GB. Otherwise this should be a solid gaming laptop for you for a few years.

Nice comfortable and easy to wear headphones
on February 7, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
These headphones are great. They are comfy so all day wear is possible even with glasses. Battery is long lasting and the best part they including a headphone wire, which makes it easy to connect to older devices, or PC's if you don't want to use bluetooth.
Setup and use is easy. Music sounded good to me via the phone and I had no issues with videos either. The Active Noise Cancelling worked, but I think a lot of that could be from the thicker foam the use on the ear cups to surround your ears.
Overall they sound great, come with a nice pouch to making carrying in your backpack viable. Have a great battery life and sound good with options between wired listening and wireless which is awesome. Love the cans.

Easy way to boost a signal for a wonky room
on February 7, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Setup is fairly easy and they recommend a pole, which I agree to make sure you can more easily adjust it to point at a cell tower. Once you find that good signal and are able to point towards it you can go to the races. Just need to run the cable into the house and plug the inside box into it. I got this to address cell drops when I'm in my home office in the basement, since I'm home more, I hate having to go upstairs to take calls. This really has boosted the signa, esp. since I had a strong signal everywhere else but there. If you are a home user with a dead spot in the house, but good to great outside like me this will definitely help boost you and improve the signal. I can now sit in my home office and not have to run around to take calls which makes things easier. Only hard part is looking up on your cell provider where to go register the booster for FCC reasons. Don't skip that step.
The device is simple to setup, and routing the cable from outside to indoors wasn't bad for me and really improved the signal. Definitely the way to go.

Decent Camera
on January 26, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a decent Web camera for streaming if you on the more casual side. I've been using it to stream to my twitch stream and setup on Windows 10 was easy. Recognized and captured by my setup with no problems. Installed a Virtual Green Screen program to clear out the background and was off to the races. While it worked ok in my office with the lights on, they were positioned to show off the camera, so I recommend some lights to help the camera, but honestly I can't fault the camera for my poor lighting, but once I added the lights it elevated the setup and the picture was much better. An example of it below https://www.twitch.tv/oelshami/clip/TardyTenaciousYogurtYee
Overall I did like the fact it has an effective cover for the lens in build and it has some limited title and swivel so if you mount on your monitor makes it easier to get the right position. You can also do some camera adjustment with software too to help and it all seemed to work. I didn't test the mic on this as I have my own and muted it as a source, but it does have a Mic if you need something like that, I just didn't test so I can't vouch if it is a decent chance. Overall I've been happy with the picture and helped elevate my stream to slightly less casual. If you needed to also do Zoom/Teams meeting for work this is an easy to setup and use WebCam that will work well for that as I did Skype with the family and it worked great for that. Overall it is a webcam and does what you expect with minimal fuss.

Nice Filter
on January 14, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a simple easy to use and setup. Nothing complex and push a button to go into Automatic mode. I setup in our bedroom to test the noise and it is whisper quite on auto when nothing is in the air, and ramps up slowly where particles get it. Seems to work well and is great and keeping the particles down. Doesn't seem hard to maintain and easy enough to move around. Even with the fan going, it isn't horrible loud and works well.

Just Right for my Sous Vide Needs
on November 26, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
If you have a Sous Vide device this is a good container for your sous vide needs. I found it to be about right for my cooking. Not too large not too small. Able to handle what I need. The fact it has a metal rack to help keep things submerged is handy, esp. if you don't get all the air out, helps keep your food submerged. It has a nice top to help keep in moisture and fitted my older immersion heater with no issues. It cleans easy and fairly compact making it easy to store with all my sous vide equipment. Also I've used it to brine chickens and other things, so overall it has a great purpose in my kitchen. Am very happy with it.

If you still have to have Internet service what do I need this thing for I already have a router

Well the two I can think of are: 1. If you need better/stronger wifi coverage throughout your house or 2. if you have newer devices that can use the AC wireless settings. With the Mu-Mimo, even if your devices don't support it, testing has shown that your over all wireless throughput will be better as the router can share the connection better with all devices.
