Good Grooming
on November 12, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Not ever having a purpose groomer, it was a nice change of pace. The two heads to tackle different tasks is nice, and the fact they each have there own on/off button helps in using the side you want.
I found it handled my hair, though the razor foil edge I learned fairly early on to watch the cutters leading to the foil edge because they can pull. Once I adjusted to this I am happy in using this this to trim back my hair and keep it where I want.
My only complaint is it didn't come with a travel case. Really the only fault I found was not having a way to safely store it and travel with it. Otherwise if you want to scape the landscape this will get the job done.

A useful IoT Device
on October 30, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall the Streamlabs Wi-Fi Home Water system is a useful device. It helps monitor water usage and alert you of potential leaks. This is something handy having dealt with a leaky toilet in the past, knowing I have water running in the house would have helped me find it fast. This also helps you monitor and get a better idea of your water usage in the house and determine what you can do to reduce that.
*Installation*
The streamlabs requires the use of an App, so an iOS/Android device is required for this. That said they did a really nice job with the App. It walks you through installation and tries to make it as painless as possible. What I did like about the App setup is I happened to be doing this while I had network trouble at the same time and even though I had to exit and restart a few times the App picked up where it left off, and never was I in the position of having to do a full reset, reinstall etc. This is something that you don't normally see and shows Streamlabs is focused on the product because they spent the time to make the App usable and understand issues happen.
Setting up is simple, within the App you create an account, and then it walks you through first getting the device onto your Wi-Fi network (Note this device only works on the older 2.4 GHz network, which makes sense since your water line is rarely in a good line of sight to your router). Once that is done they walk you through attaching it to your pipes. This can be done by one person with no tools, which is great. All you need to do is find a place near where the water inlet to your house is to mount it. I had to remount mine because I choose a bit of pipe (it was easier to reach for my height) that was floating free and didn't have anything behind that. That prevented the device from being able to ultrasonically read my water flow. However since the Streamlabs is attached using zip ties, a couple of snips and moving it so there was a wall behind it, allowed the device to detect/monitor my water flow. Please note when you do this, to calibrate the device they need the water not to flow, and recommend you turn off the water. So when installing pick a time when it is convientent to have the water off.After it reads the non-flowing pipes they recommend you flush a toliet. When I did, I was impressed. My toilet is rated for 1.9 Gallon flush and that is what the App said was my water usage. After that you can set leak alerts for slow/large leaks. This may take some tweaking to better understand how your applicances etc use water in the house, though the defaults weren't too bad for me.
*Usage*
Using it is simple, it sits and monitors your water, if it detects a leak, or someone taking an extra long shower you get an alert on your device. While it can't tell you where it is coming from, it can tell you its occuring giving you time to react before potential damage is done to your house. Additionally they have an away mode, which I assume is more aggressive in noting water running, again letting you know when your out and allowing you to react instead of coming how to a scene from the Titanic in your living room.
So far I'm very happy with Streamlabs. They made a product, that so far, works as expected, has an excellent application and is easy to install with no tools. Only thing you need is access to your water line and a wi-fi signal and your in business. If you are interested in monitoring your water as well getting alerts on leaks and want a device that you can install with no hassle, I think Streamlabs is a winner.

Nice Portable Vacuum
on October 22, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
I really enjoyed this vacuum as I needed a handheld/full vacuum for smaller rooms in the upstairs and I didn't want to lug my full size vacuum up and down all the time. Not being battery powered might be seen as a downside, but for me it is not. The power of this thing being plugged in is worth the hassle of dealing with a cord. For cleaning rooms, carpet and hard floors, this thing ingests all the dirt and hair. Honestly the power is equal to my full size in a nicer smaller package, the dirt cup is large and the fact it can act as a handheld vac is handy. It was really easy to do my stairs for once.
I also enjoyed there engineering, if you don't want to wall mount, it breaks down so it can rest without the top heavy vacuum falling over. Very well designed.
The few times I've used it to clean I've been impressed and very happy. If you need a vacuum for cleaning, don't let this form factor put you off, its perfect to do a whole house and bit easier then say a full size vacuum without giving up the power.

Comfortable for All Day Use
on October 20, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
TLDR - This is easy to use and very comfortable, even if it looks weird. Using this mouse all day long is simply a joy. If your right handed don't hesitate if you need a mouse, this is it.
Logitech has made another great mouse in my opinion. For my hands its easy to grip and even though the form factor is completely different from any mouse, the way it rests in your hand and position of the buttons is natural and didn't take any learning from me.
Setting up the mouse for use is easy too. You have three ways to connect, with the Logitech Unify connector (handy since you can program different devices) bluetooth and cabled. I like the ability to have it cabled in case the rechargable battery, which can be removed by the user, runs out, or I don't have bluetooth or the dongle handy.
The mouse itself is soldly built and I like the meshish pattern giving it a modern looks. It feels solid and isn't too heavy or light. Glides across the desk with ease and I've been very happy using it these last few days.
The only complaint I have (and its minor) there is no storage bay in the mouse for the USB Dongle for connection. That means if you need to switch between computers it will have to be carried loose, which is not ideal.
Beyond that I haven't had an issue with the mouse. They have software to program the buttons, but for me out of the box it worked the way I needed so I didn't need to create fancy programs, but it is there for the more advanced mouse users.
What I like is using it all day my hand doesn't feel like I've been using a mouse all day, I will say though if you are left handed, the version I got will not work for you, it is definitely molded to your right hand.
I can't recommend this mouse enough though because of the comfort, I'm very happy to use this as my daily driver in the office and I'm sure you will be happy too with it.

Great Monitor for you Work At Home Types
on October 15, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Let me say straight off the bat this has typical Dell Quaility and Picture for the Monitor. There is no complaints from the picture/color of the monitor. For my needs it is perfect and I'm happy, but I have a few notes for those shopping for monitors that may or may not matter:
1. This is not a standard VESA mount. If you were planning on using a something to mount a monitor that uses a typical VESA mount this is not the monitor for you. It has its own very solid stand, but is not VESA compatible from what I see.
2. Input to this monitor is HDMI only. Yes it has two HDMI ports, but it is an HDMI only monitor. If you're looking for a monitor to connect your work system to when you work in office from home, make sure you have an HDMI port on the laptop, not Display port or a suitable dongle to convert from HDMI to display port or VGA.
3. While it has an easy to assemble stand and its solid the monitor does not roate in the stand. Just tilts a bit, so if you need height adjustment for rotation of the monitor to portrait, this is not the monitor for you.
That all said, I like this monitor, I'm happy with it. The biggest issue I have is having to use the OSD to change sources when I have two different computers plugged into the monitor and on, would have liked just a single button press. The picture is great. No bleed and the monitor does look great, with deep blacks and nice bezel that disappears into the monitor. If you need an office monitor for when you from home, this is definitely a monitor to consider. Espescially if you want one that is easy to setup and start using, then this is defintiely one to consider.

Light Mouse with a very nice Click
on September 24, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall this is a great mouse. Its is light, esp. compared to my Corsair mouse. It did take me a bit to get used to it, but now its hard when I help my kid and use my old mouse, it just feels heavy. I also like the mouse buttons. They have a nice click and remind me of a Cherry Blue. Not as loud, but just that nice click.
Using the mouse in either Wireless or corded I noticed no difference it was just as responsive in either mode. It was quick, and accurate for me. Of course it didn't make me better, I was still just as bad as usual, but that I can't blame the mouse.
I enjoyed how they setup the charging, made it easy to plug in and not get wrong, as well as you can use the cable to extend out the wireless dongle if you need. On the Dongle, the nice thing with Logitech is they are universal, so if you lose one, you don't lose your mouse, you can just swap in a new one.
I also enjoyed that the side buttons can be removed/configured how you want. I never use them so being able to remove them and keep the mouse simple was awesome. If you want them they can all be used or just the left or right. Configure how you want.
For left handed people this mouse can be used left handed if you desire with just a simple button swap.
Software is great they have a simple small package if you want to adjust lighting and buttons and profiles. Its just nice you don't need a huge package, they have a nice lightweight one, that can customize the mouse, though if you like the older Logitech app, that will still work too.
Overall this is a great mouse. Sure it can do 16,000 DPI but honestly unless you have 4 8K monitors, you don't need that speed, but the sensor is on point, and works great with no issues at much more normal DPI's.
Overall this is a great mouse, I love it. I still am horrible at my games, but I can't blame the mouse for it anymore.

Nice Portable Speaker
on September 22, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a perfect little pocket speaker. It is high quality with a good battery (Been running it for about 5 hours and its still going strong. Sony claims about 6 hours, so that seems around the ballpark) and light (about 160 grams per Sony). It fit nicely in my pocket so it was easy to carry. It is water resistant at IPX-5. this means if it starts raining or gets splashed it should keep on working.
The sound quailty is on par for Sony. Only difference between this and my bigger speakers from Sony is the amount of volume it can push, and its small so that is to be expected. Though I have noticed if the volume is at 100% and when I pushed some treble from classical music it got a bit tinny. Turning the sound down a few notches helped. I might have been able to adjust to via an equalizer. But that was the only "bad" artifacting I found when using the speaker. Otherwise it sounds good. If your out and about in a moderately noisy environment that might be a concern just because of the size and what it can push, but I haven't had a chance to test that. However for the price and size its a great pocket bluetooth speaker. I plan on taking it with me on trips, so when I'm in the hotel room watching movies/videos or music I can use that instead of my phones speaker or headphones.
I think overall for the form factor it does a good job of being a speaker that can produce adequate sound to fill the space nearby without overwhelming it. It give the same Sony sound quaility and the fact its light and small it makes the perfect travel speaker.

UPS that Works
on September 1, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
APC makes nice UPS. This one is nice because of the compact form that it takes and fits nicely on the floor. Since I am using this for my networking equipment I haven't tried connecting it to a PC for auto shutoff and configuration. Though I may do that in the future to mute the beeping sounds that occur when power goes out. A nice feature on this is you can mute the beep during a power outage by holding the power button down for 2 seconds. That is handy and one of the reasons why I haven't dragged a laptop over to configure the UPS.
The only downside with the compact form factor is large plugs that face right. As you can see in the picture they tried to space out the battery plugs to allow you to get the larger bricks that most home networking equipment like, but its hard to deal with plugs that just point to the right. As you can see one of my devices is blocking the now battery plugs. Keep plug size and direction in mind when planning on this UPS to make sure you have space for all the devices.
Otherwise I have no faults with this device. It works, has the ability to mute the beep when power is out and will easily provide my home network equirement with power during outages. If you need a UPS this is perfect one, as long as you keep the in mind what you are plugging in.

Easy way to keep the beard in check.
on August 4, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is great. The integrated guard makes keeping the beard in order easy. That's great because I'm the summer I'm a lot shorter then the winter and not having to dig around for different guards is perfect for me. Does the job perfectly and I likr keeping things simple like this does. If you need a trimmer and don't want to miss with changing guards or losing them this is definitely the trimmer for you. The guard does pop out easily for cleaning clogs and oiling. So yay. I wish I had this years ago.

Get your Guardians of Galaxy Cosplay On
on July 27, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
If your cell phone doesn't have a headphone jack but you wanted to Cosplay Star-Lord, these are your headphones. It will give you that Guardian of the Galaxy look that you can rock without breaking the bank. But seriously let's talk about these headphones.
Setup was fairly straight forward in getting it to pair. My two big complaints in setup are the charging port is kind of a small pain (right behind the foam) to get the USB Cable into and the button to turn on and off and all that I found really hard, since it part of the headphones itself. Let's talk charging, getting the USB Cable in is doable but you have to know where to look and overall I wish they could have found a more accessible place for the charging port. Its not a deal breaker. The buttons though are annoying. I never had a pair of headphones that had a harder button to use. Remembering, pressing using was just annoying. Luckily beyond turning it on and off you can avoid using the button. But if you like controlling the music, answering etc via your headphones, you can, but its hard. Also note I didn't find any volume control. So it all depends on how loud you make it in your device.
The headphones sound fine, they aren't going to provide a rich soundstage, but they get the job done and are light, so wear issues aren't a problem. I was able to get through about 9 hours and it still had charge, so battery life on something so light is welcome.
I did notice when watching video they lagged beyond the audio. Again for music not a big deal, but watching a lot of video of people speaking you will notice the lag. Not the end of the world just can be off putting.
They aren't a bad spare pair of headphones at a great price point, that I don't mind the faults and won't cry if I misplace them on a trip etc. If you need a quick pair and want to get your Star-Lord on, these are the pair for you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
