Nice way to wake up an old mouse
on October 25, 2019
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This isn't a bad way to take a favorite mouse and add some new life into. The installation of the feet wasn't bad for me, beyond getting them out of the packaging, they are packed tight and took a little bit of work to get out. Once out they installation was easy. They provide everything you need. I do recommend you give the bottom of the mouse where you install the gliding feet a good clean first and let it dry before you use the wipes to give it the perfect clean. But once clean they installed fine for me.
The feet did bring back life to an older mouse I've been using for years. Adding the feet gave it new life and the ability to glide smoothly over a lot of the surfaces I use. Since it's my main travel/work mouse that I love I am very happy that it now glides better then the day I got it years ago. I'm happy with the feet that it gives a good glide for me and makes the mouse move a lot more effortlessly. If you have an older mouse you love and its not gliding and moving as well as you like this is definitely something you should look at to bring it back from dead and make it slide and glide like it was meant to.

Overall this is a good camera if you want something simple to connect and monitor your house.
***SETUP***
Installation of the Android App (this is all Android/iOS based, no Windows or MacOS client), was one of the most straight forward and easy experiences I had. Installed the application from the Play store, and followed the prompts. Setting up an account was easy. Just needed and e-mail, nothing fancier, and then onto the setup. It had me scan a QR code on the top of the camera, enter in my Wireless network (make sure your phone and camera are both on the same wireless 2.4GHZ network) and then it sent a tone from my phone to camera and bam it was all set. I could see the camera via the application. Application is barebones but easy to use. Didn't have any problems navigating and finding settings like Notification zones etc. Notifications seem snappy.
After I had the camera working and happy I went ahead and setup where I wanted. Not this is a wired power supply that will need an outlet. Depending on where you want to put the camera, make sure you have an outlet about 35 feet from the camera. Looking at the manual for outdoor installation, it looks like they designed the camera and expect you to run the cord into the house and plug it in. That is fair and secure, but if you planned on installing it somewhere else to watch the approach to the house note you need to have an outlet nearby, and while the camera is rated for the outdoors, not sure on the plug. That really is downside needing to make sure it can be placed closed to a plug. Additionally if you find your wireless signal not cutting the camera can be wired to run over ethernet if needed.
The two things that impressed me both though with the camera's setup was when I named it, that was the host named used making finding it on my network much easier and they recommended setting up a device password too. This was nice since they expose an RSTP network feed, and more camera's don't have passwords or have default and easily guessed ones that a quick Internet search could find. Being asked to change the password during setup shows they are at least thinking about security and a nice change from a lot of other devices.
Please note that for wireless it will only connect to a 2.4GHZ connection and depending on what your house is made of wireless can vary a lot. Where my camera is it is about 5 feet from my AP, but be ready to fiddle with the camera and your wireless access point to get the signal you need to use this. But to give defender credit they allow that you will have Wireless issues and give you a way to hardline your connection, something you don't see on wireless cameras and I appreciate the backup.
****USAGE****
Once you have the camera setup and tuned and the notification zones in place, it is a nice camera. I don't have any problems accessing it or the internal storage. Camera comes with 16GB SD Card to record movement that can be downloaded. Watching my network DNS it looks like they are using a reverse application proxy to allow remote connection, which is nice. Don't have to subscribe and for most people 16GB should cover, but you can upgrade fairly easily if needed. Additionally sharing the camera is easy which is nice because I can give my wife access as well. Additionally this camera over port 554 will stream an RSTP feed. This is nice because when I'm home I don't have to grab my phone, I can use VideoLAN player (VLC) to see what my camera is seeing easily, just when it prompts you the user account is admin and the password is what you set during setup. Its nice to be able to have a quick peak on a larger screen and gives this some life in case an Android update breaks the application and they don't fix it quickly enough I can at least view my camera feed. Though I wish they'd release a PC app that will allow the access like the app, if for no other reason a larger screen makes it easier and honestly that is my only main compliant, no way beyond a phone application to be able to fully use my camera. That limitation aside I'm happy with the camera and how it is working, the features it has work and are simple enough to use.

Good Simple HD Monitor
on October 19, 2019
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
If you need a monitor with good color, bright at 1080p resolution then this is a good choice. I got this as a IPS panel to allow for good color for some artistic drawing done with my computer. I find the size and color are good for my needs. It does have Freesync, but you will need an AMD card, as this monitor does not appear as GSYNC Compatible. Also note this monitor is HDMI and VGA Cable only. It does offer two HDMI ports, and I believe the XBOX One is Freesync compatible so you could add an Xbox One as well as your computer. It does have a few game mode features like an onscreen crosshair so show the center of the screen, and when I played Forza Horizon 4 I didn't notice any tearing and was able to play without issue.
Overall if you need a simple no-frills monitor and have an AMD Graphics card this is a good choice of a monitor.
Only down side is the stand. While it tilts there are no height adjustments so if you need to raise it either you'll be using books or getting a different stand to mount it.

Love it for Fast Baking
on October 14, 2019
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
With kids who like to bake thinking ahead is not there strong suit, they want to make cookies, but don't think to get the butter out and soften it to make cookies/cupcakes etc.
I love the addition of the heater, it helps these last minute baking sessions. It is easy to use we just follow the directions and didn't have a problem getting the butter to the right softness. I was impressed with how easy it was to work with cold butter. Such a nice touch and helped keep the younger impatient kids wanting to have fun to have.
That addition is a nice touch to a hand mixer and actually brings some value to otherwise a hand mixer. It works and we could make cookies. Kids all say they are yummy cookies and for me that is what I want. I am very pleased with this hand mixer helping keep the kids occupied on rainy/cold days and offering something new.

Something very different
on October 11, 2019
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a very different type of mouse. Not only does it have a joystick on the side, but the whole mouse body can move and pivot. Giving you two different axis of movements. It is different, and not your standard mouse. This is a project mouse. This is a mouse for someone who wants to tune the mouse and how its used. It's not for someone who wants a mouse to plugin and click, this is a mouse where you want to fiddle and configure.
***Setup***
Fairly easy, plug into the computer and it was seen by Windows 10 with no issues. The cable fitting is nice and tight and I don't think it will come loose, had a great fit.
The software that will allow the mouse to be configured installed with no hassles and started up easy enough.
Now this is where it gets interesting. Since you have not only six buttons, a scroll wheel, joystick and the mouse body that pivots you can setup the buttons do a lot, save different profiles. It will take time to figure out what you want, what this mouse can do and get the profile right, also since the mouse body pivots lefts and right and back and forth, dialing in your deadzone is important. However if you like to tune your experience this is a great mouse for that. Only major issue I found, with my larger hands is that the left/right mouse buttons end a good distance from the front of the mouse and I had to adjust my grip to account for that.
***USE***
Once you tune your mouse and the profile, color, what the buttons do, it works great. It can take time to get used to the mouse, the joystick, pivoting the body, but I didn't have any issues with the mouse and using it once I had my profile locked. Yes there is a learning curve if you use the joystick to remember it's there etc. But after a bit it became second nature.
This is a great mouse if you want to tinker and if the front mouse buttons went the whole length of the body it would be the perfect mouse for me and even with that one flaw I'm still happy with it, just expect to spend time tuning your mouse to work the way you want.

Nice to Print Custom 4x6
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a great little device for printing 4x6 photos at home. Since this is a dye sublimation printer it looks like you are printing a photo. In my testing I've done a few of my kids professional school photo's and I can't really tell the difference between what the printer printed and the photo's unless I look really close. But in a picture frame, or hanging on a wall its great. So if you want to print custom 4x6 photo's of yourself, friends and family this is great. It does its job, and does it fairly fast though an app on your Phone/tablet Android/iOS device.
*********SETUP************
You install the application on your phone/tablet, in my case an Android Phone and it walks you through getting this setup. That was fairly simple in getting the paper and printer cartridge in. Note that when setting up via the app you have to acknowledge the terms and services, if you don't want the app tracking your usage make sure to click the links and turn the data collection off. HP could have made it more obvious, but at least you can turn it off during installation and setup.
Out of the box it only comes with ten sheets, so if you are like me, pick up some additional paper (which will come with the cartridge too) while you are at Best Buy to save yourself a trip after you go through the starter pack fairly quickly having too much fun. That said the App setup was easy, since it uses Bluetooth, it paired quickly on Android 10 and I was able to start printing fast. It even lets you name the device and pick a power led color which is a nice touch. They do have an AR portion of the App that will show you things if you scan the lid of the printer. Honestly for me, it wasn't necessary, but some people may have fun with it and it is always possible that over time they will add a bunch of additional features, so its nice that it is there.

****USAGE*****
The app has a lot of features to customize, and if you are younger I can see the appeal, me I just wanted to print my photo's. It can see your local albums on the phone (Assuming you gave it permission), FB, Insta and Google. I hope they add the ability to add other cloud providers like DropBox and OneDrive where I actually have most of my pictures backed up. That said, it was easy enough for me to go into OneDrive, pick a few pictures download them to my phone and start printing. Again the app does have the ability to modify the picture add stickers, a border and text before you print allowing you to customize it. Once your are done, hit print in the app and wait (takes about a minute or so) and its very interesting to watch it print since it goes in and out a few times as it lays down the different colors. Once its done out pops a dry awesome looking print of your photo in 4x6 size ready to hang on a wall. Printing for me took about a minute or so. Honestly didn't time it, but it wasn't that long at all.
I've had a lot of fun printing pictures out with this and can see at family gathering where this will be a hit since we can get awesome prints right there, esp. since it isn't that large and doesn't take up a lot of space (Do make sure though you keep about 5 inches clear in back since the way it prints out the photo you need that space in the back for the paper to stick out).
HP has a great product here, with wonderful quality prints that is easy to setup and print from your phone of tablet, and if your like me and love sharing photo's at Family gatherings to have physical memento's then this really is the device for you.

Excellent Wireless Color Laser Printer
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
I love Brother Laser Printers and this Color Laser Printer for needing four toner cartridges is actually compact and fits where my older Brother B&W Laser Printer was without taking up much more space. If you need color, and it needs to be a Laser, this is a good choice.
*******SETUP*******
Setup was fairly easy. They have good documentation on how to remove the packaging from inside the printer and set up the toner and everything. The hardest part was adding it to my Wi-Fi network since I had to scroll the password in. Only real knock was brother doesn't include a USB cable and I didn't have one handy to use so I did it via the console on the front of the printer. The printer could have paired via WPS but that is disabled on my network, so I had to enter my password by hand. Even doing that, it only took about 5 minutes to add it to my home wireless network. It attached to the network without any issue, and then running Brother's software, I found the printer right away, with no issues and was printing 2 minutes after that.
I do recommend though that you connect to the Printer via your computers Web Browser and setup an admin password for the panel. The default password was Admin I believe, so you can see changing that as Brother Recommends would be a good idea.
****USE*****
Windows 10 doesn't have any problem in my house finding the printer on the network. It just shows up as a printer and we can print right to it. It warms up fast and then prints out your documents with wonderful speed, and it isn't that loud either, unlike inkjets tend to be, so it doesn't disturb everyone with the printing. I printed a few things in color and they came out great, sharp and with good color. This is perfect for myself for when I need something fast in color or my kids for school projects and it won't cost me an arm and leg to maintain. I do like that each color toner is separate so I can just replace what I need based on usage and not the whole thing all at once saving money, since we do mostly print in B&W in the house.
Again this is a great, simple to setup, fast color printer, that honestly I don't think you can go wrong with.

Coffee...COFFEE!!! LOTS OF COFFEE!
on September 15, 2019
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Let me say this is awesome and for someone who goes through easily hundreds of dollars a month in coffee in shops on the way to work this will save me tons of money.
At first it seems fairly intimating to set up and use. The booklet takes a bit to understand, but once I figured it out and got this setup, including with the Filter to help with my hardwater, I have had a great number of coffees. Great coffees and espresso at a press of a button. You add water and whole beans. It grinds the beans and uses the water in the tank and delivers great espresso/coffee/iced coffees.

Only thing you really need if you want to get fancy is something to steam the milk in. That hasn't stopped me from frothing and making yummy drinks using an old school Pyrex cup measure, but I a proper jug I can see would fit better.
Now the neat thing this has, besides being completely automatic, did I mention it was automatic, just push a button. Is the fact is it has an over ice mode. I don't know what voodoo they do, but I can make cool ice coffees that are smooth in no time with this. All it takes is six ice cubes. Honestly the smoothness of the coffee I've been getting means I really don't need sugar to be added and can drink it straight. I Couldn't be more pleased with this. It is sturdy, and easy to use. Handles the coffee easy enough for me. It even heats up fairly fast. No waiting 10 minutes to start and drink. You can have your first cup in a few minutes with it ready to make more.
Only think I haven't figured out yet is how to increase the size of some of the coffees. I'll get there. For now I just keep hitting the button until my oversized mug is full (I know I should get proper size mugs) to enjoy that foamy espresso head but until then I'm just happy I have hot lovely coffee, or even better iced coffee at a press of a button. DeLonghi True Brew over ice magic and the simplicity of the device to brew a great smooth cup just is great.
Also I did like the fact if you don't want to use beans it will take pre-ground coffee too, which is nice no locking you in. Though they do recommend you avoid the flavored coffee beans/grounds to prevent gunking the machine, but honestly I've been getting such smooth, rich and great cups from this device, I feel a flavored coffee would well be destroying the work they did.
If you are looking for an espresso/cappuccino with the ability to make regular coffee and ICED COFFEE (Delicious ICED Coffee) at a push of a button with you just needing to the clean the device when it tells you, I can't think of a better one to choose.

This is one of those kitchen products that can actually replace a number of different gadgets in my house. Its a Slow Cooker, Air Fryer, Pressure Cooker, dehydrator, baking oven, steamer and more. It is a true all rounder. In the week that I've had it, I've used it 4 times to make dinner. Its handy to just use one device, and a device that is fairly simple to use and since it's compact it heats up fairly fast (compared to say your oven) and doesn't overheat your house (like an oven would) which is nice in the hot summer.
Setup
Take it out of the box and plug it in. Read the directions and more importantly the recipe book including to get an idea of what/how to cook with times. Honestly should take you about 10 minutes to setup on your counter and while it does come with a decent like electrical cord I wish it was about six inches longer so I didn't have to move things around on counters to use. But compared to some kitchen appliances, its not a super short cord which is really nice.
Use
First I used it to cook a whole chicken following the recipe. I chose mostly because I had a whole chicken, but also to just get an idea how this would work. First you pressure cook the chicken. The pressure cooker top is fairly easy to install on the top and setup. Once the lid is on you set how long you want the pressure cooker to go and that's it. No dealing with the stove and watching to balance the heat like you do with a stove top pressure cooker, just I want this to cook for 30 minutes and walk away. The only other gripe I have is when it reaches pressure and properly starts the count down for your time the beep when its done isn't loud and if your not semi-paying attention it might be an issue. Now it will keep things "warm" but in this instance Ninja recommends you quick release the pressure. So keep an eye on it. Once the pressure was released you drop the lid and crisp the chicken skin and the chicken in general.
Worked fairly well, though I missed the note recommending removing the left over cooking liquid from pressure cooking, so I'm sure the crisping would have been better without the extra steam. However in the end I had easy fully cooked chicken that was very nice and didn't require a lot of work, easy to clean up, only a few minutes and simple dinner.
Next I tried the pressure cooker with beans. Following the recommendations I found it again easy to use the pressure cooker and get the beans I wanted without any fuss, plus it didn't burn the bottom like I have done in my stove top pressure cooker another win.
The next night I made some lentil soup following a recipe I have. Used the pressure cooker to quick cook the lentils and then the sauté function to keep the soup bubbling and cooking as I added potatoes to bolster it. It was nice, even and again simple to clean, something that can get messy when I use a pot.
I am impressed. If you have the space on your counter this is a very handy device that makes cooking easy and allows you to expand out. Also if you don't want a lot of gadgets in your house, this combines a large number into one which is a plus.
I'm very happy with this and I think you will be too.

I got this dash cam to just record my daily commute to record for my son who will start driving soon on what not to do when he gets in a car. Setup was straight forward and linking the camera with the Android app was one of the easiest things I've ever done. I installed and opened the app and next thing I knew it detected the camera.
The extra "novelty" features of lane drift and collision warning are just that novelty. I'm sure over time, with some firmware revisions it might get great and I'm sure if I played with camera position I might reduce the false alarms, but for now it isn't there and just adds a distraction beep.
That said the camera works great. It ties in with the iRadar app to pop up speed trap warning etc. I didn't get to see that work, since luckily the back roads I take daily are fairly empty.
Overall I'm happy with the camera recording my drive, not only to show my kids what it is like on the road, but I do like there is a recording in case of an accident or dangerous driving. If you need a dash cam and want a few extra bells and whistles, this is a good choice. Setup is easy and using it was straight forward.

It has an AMD Ryzen processor to handle intense gaming, and the 16GB of DDR4 RAM provides fast processing speeds. This HP Pavilion gaming desktop has a 1TB hard drive and 128GB solid-state drive for a large game collection and quick boot times.
Does the OS come installed on the HDD? If so do we get a product key so that we can switch it to the SSD? And last, but not least, can I system reset the computer and reinstall the OS from scratch??? Thank you.
OS is installed on the SSD not the HDD. But you could change it I guess. However if you are planning on swapping the SSD to something larger, not this the SSD in this PC is M.2 SATA SSD and not the 2.5" Inch form factor.
As long you use the same Microsoft Account the OS Key will transfer based on the Microsoft account, no need to renter a key.

Prep meals quickly with this Ninja Intelli-Sense system. A 1200W motor pulverizes ice cubes and vegetables and makes it easier to create everything from frozen drinks and fresh salsa to soups and sauces. Use the Auto-Spiralizer function on this Ninja Intelli-Sense system to turn zucchinis and other vegetables into healthy noodles.
It works for slice food? as zucchinis and carrots?
It won't create slices, but it will create noodle of them or chop them like a normal Cuisinart like device.

It mentions 9hr of battery life. Ignorant about wireless...is there a required charger? Does it come with headphones?
It comes with an USB Micro Cable. This can be plugged into a computer to charge (about 2 1/2 hours for full charge from 0%) or if you have a spare AC to USB connector (Comes with a lot of last Generation Android/Windows Phones) you can connect to the wall to charge.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
If I wake this device up and my wife happens to rattle off our bank name and account number, is that information sent to Google to help improve their device's voice recognition? I am major worried about things like this with these devices
Once you say Hey Google, it will record and it gets stored on the Google Account associated with the device. Google does allow you to not only see what it has but delete it. They also added a H/W mute to prevent the device from recording. But yes they do store this information and use it.

Do I have to have a tablet or smart phone to activate this? Or, can I activate this from a laptop?
You need an Android (Phone or Tablet) or Apple (iPad/iPhone) device. Google unfortunately doesn't provide for use by Computer at this time and playing with the Android App I'd say you'd be better off with an Android device to get the most out this thing.

Will it help to stop buffering?
This depends on why you are having buffering issues. If your buffering issues are because your internet is slow/ISP not able to deliver no. That is outside the house. However if you have a good ISP/bandwidth coming into the house then this can help, as it improves coverage and since MU-MIMO devices are better able to share wireless with multiple devices. You may still need/wish to upgrade the wireless cards to the newer AC ones that support MU-MIMO to get additional throughput but this may help.
