You know its great when you need more Propane
on July 6, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne

You read that right, ran out of propane after getting this setup and on the grill. We were running through pizza dough just enjoying the lovely crisp brick over type pizza that I ran out of propane and had to make a run for more because this is too fun to stop. So if you want to have fun making pizza this is the thing.
**************
Setup - Setup was fairly striaght forward. Unscrew a few things, slot in the stones (can only fit one way which is nice) and screw everything back. Took us about 10 minutes. After a quick wipe down of the stone your good to go. It was nice they also included a very good wooden peel. Nice and thick and the right size, as well as a metal offset to move and rotate the pizza. That is absolutely vital and I'm glad they added it otherwise it would be much harder to pizza. Open your grill, take off the flame redirectors to help get the heat into the grill and leave it on your grill until it reaches temp.
*******************
Use - Very easy to use. I do recommend flouring the peel and the bottom of the dough before putting it on the peel. We made the pizza on the peel to save an extra move, but not necessary. The tricky part that takes a pizza is the getting the pizza off the peel and into the oven without folding it over. Did that on the first pizza, but learned my lesson and was better on everyone since then. They recommend and I agree once you get in the oven let it set for a minute for the dough to set. That did make things easier. Even if I didn't position it perfectly, I let it sit for a minute, after that the offset metal spatula made it easy to move around and rotate in the box. It only takes a few minutes to get nice and crispy pies. This makes thing simple, just have extra propane on hand before you start since you might run out.
It is solidly built and sturdy and seems it will last many pizza nights at our house. Even comes with a nice cover once it cools for storage. Only thing is its fairly heavy and you can expect for all that stone and the handles on the side I wish were a bit deeper. Thats the only knock and honestly it isn't anything that would keep me from getting it. This is an awesome device if you want a mini brick oven on your grill. We had a lot of fun and I know many more pizza nights will be had and considering how quick this turns out pizza, I just love it and I'm sure you will too.

For a TN Panel this is a great gaming monitor. Its smooth and I've been enjoying multiple games at 240hz fluidity. Well in honesty very few games can push the 240hz but with G-Sync even though my 1080Ti can't hit the frames in games (since I turn on all the details) the game play has zero tears and I didn't notice any ghosting in Doom/Destiny/Final Fantasy XV and a slew of others. If you have a nVidia card and what a good monitor this is a choice.
Normally I'd have gone for a 24" panel for 1080p, thinking 27 too big, but after an hour I can't imagine going back to my 24" monitor.
I also like the addition of a few USB3.0 ports since I'm always needing them, and while not 100 easy the headphone hanger you can add to back of the monitor is a nice bonus. It has a speaker, but don't bother.
Setup was easy, and the base it comes with is a nice solid one without taking up to much desk real estate. It was a little odd with the buttons on the back, but actually they are very easy to use, if just a tad odd.
Really had no issues with getting my PC to recognize it and detect it was a g-Sync Panel on Windows 10. It got that it could do 240hz and took the setting without an issue.
It does have a few "gamer" features like an onscreen reciticle and a few image profiles for different games, but honestly I'm not using any of them. For a TN Panel angle of viewing seems fine for me and the colors work for me. If your used to IPS, that might be an issue but for me it seems fine, and in fact I'd take a little color TN Panel issue for the smoothiness of 240hz.
If you want a fast 1080p Panel can't go wrong with this monitor.

Great Camera and stable software
on June 7, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a great camera, it has a wide angle of view and has a great picture in either day or night. Setup was easy, however I already have other TPLink home automation devices so it didn't take much work to add it to my account in the application. The hardest part of the setup was remembering my WiFi password. As soon as it was setup, it was easy to schedule and on nice feature is you can set a section of the picture to alert when it detects movement in that area which is handy to reduce the number of alerts.
They have a few plans, but if you only need up to three cameras the free plan should cover your basic needs. It was also nice to see the camera come with mounting screws in case you don't want/have a place for it to stand to watch an area. I found the included cord long enough to making placing easy. Its not an outdoor camera, but as an indoor camera it has been working great that attaches to your already existing WiFi.
Additionally I like the fact it has a privacy mode where you can shut the camera off or schedule to be on during certain times.
Overall I find this to be a good camera and I'll most likely get another two to complete my set.

Wait for Version 2
on June 1, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is an interesting idea. A camera that will take pictures for you and allow you to focus on what is going on and not behind the lens, but it just doesn't seem there. I know some of it will come as they improve the software/firmware (hopefully) and it does have a button on the front to tell it take a picture now, but without a screen you have no idea. Also some people are going to freak out because its a camera watching, so make sure your friends and family are cool with random pictures. The camera does have a bright LED on the front to let everyone know when it's on, just not when it is taking pictures. Also be sure to read what phones the Google Clip APP works with. It doesn't work with all phones and without the App you really can't do anything with the camera.
Assuming you have everything its easy to use, and I'm sure over time it might take better pictures as it learns you and what it is focusing on, but so far it is fairly hit and miss. It is fun to just clip on my shirt pocket and walk around to see what it gets. The App has some editing to extract a picture or the motion (without sound) to your phone. Honestly it would be nice if I could just dump the raw contents directly from the device. You can't expand the storage but its 3 hour battery life I doubt you'd fill it. Most likely run out of charge first so that isn't an issue.
I think it is an interesting idea, but I think some improvements to the App/form factor and the idea are needed. The App/Idea can be software modded so if your interested, wait a bit and see what Google does with it. Maybe once more people use it and Google gets whatever data they collect they can push a software update or something so you can help train the device to take pictures that you want, not what it thinks you want.

Relive your Childhood in Analog Glory
on June 1, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
What to say this is an updated version of your childhood Polaroid camera. In a change from the digital cameras of today you get a bulky old school Analog camera that prints the picture right now. Updating from the original version of the camera you can charge the battery using a USB cable, and that is for the flash. That flash is bright. First time I used it was stuck on my retina for at least 10 minutes it seemed. Not quite blinding, but only by a few candles. Otherwise the film pops out with the picture. Takes a few minutes to fully develop. Its simple to use and fun. My major complaint is the cost of the film and number of shots you get. I understand this is massed produced, just know this isn't something where you will want to fire off ten shots to get that perfect framing, your going to want to get the picture framed the way you want and take just that one. Hopefully if this gets more people using it over time the cost of the film will come down. Otherwise this is a great product that reminds me of my childhood and is fun to have some more analog shots of my kids.

Nice wire free ear Buds
on May 27, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
I got these the other day and while I normally prefer over the ear head phones as ear buds just don't seem to sit well, these Sony Ear Buds do. They feel secure in my ear, I like the silicon hook feels secure in my ears. Now I'm not as active as some so I can't say for certain if you go on a vigorous run these won't fall out, but working in my garden and going for a walk with these at a moderate pace they didn't shake loose and felt comfortable the whole time. For such small devices the battery life is nice. Around three hours, and when you put the headphones in the case it will recharge it. I believe up to three additional times. It is not a quick charge, took around an hour or so for me it seemed, but its nice because I don't have to find a cord and plug it into the headphones, just the case and the case looks to provide easy carrying in workbag.
Noise cancelling was fairly good, esp. if you consider the size of the headphones. Not as good as my over ear Sony headphones, but good enough for the office to take care of the whitenoise which is what I'd use them for and the three hour charge is good enough to get me through my day.
The sound is good enough for me. I'm not a audiophile in the least, the music/podcasts/audiobooks I listen are clear and sound more then nice when I was using the earbuds. There is an app for the headphones which allow you to tune the sound, but honestly out of the box sounded fine. I'm sure other people who like more or less bass or other things can use the app to find a good sound profile to there liking.
Overall these are a nice pair of ear buds, esp. if you are looking for something light to stay securely in your ear. I like these. Only thing I didn't test is how they work as a microphone for calls. Honestly I tend not to use headphone for this anyway. They have a nice look and Sony's sound with Noise cancelling in a small package that is easy to carry around and charge. If you are looking for a pair headphones in this form factor, I don't think you can go wrong.

Average Earbuds

Overall these aren't a bad pair of headphones, just not great. They are light and have enough battery to carry you through a few work outs with the ability to bend the headphones in a bit to stay on if you tend to bounce around while exercising.
It does have one feature which isn't bad, the Runsafe LED light that will produce a glow from an LED light on the neckband. I'm sure it does help but means you have to keep this outside of any collar and hair to get the full effect. Not sure if they are bright enough to really make a difference seemed a bit dim when I tested at Twilight to do a lot of good, but anything is better then nothing.
The sound was what I expected from JBL, it was good, just didn't blow me away compared to others, but didn't sound horrible either.
What I don't like is the fact they give you a short charging cable. That's fine if I plug in on a desk, but if I want to hand on the door near my keys so I have them for my twilight walks, not handy at all and wish all manufacturers would include longer cables and not try to skimp.
Overall a decent design for sweatproof headphones. A couple of neat eyes likes LED lights to help you stay safe and bendable neck adjustment, with a decent battery (easy to carry for a few days of walking) and light. If those few items above seem what you are looking for then these are the headphones for you. For a teen athlete I think these would be perfect or if you want something to help keep you safe on the side of the road at dusk, again have a look.

Great Mouse if a bit on the Light Side
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a great mouse that can work cabled, wireless via its own dongle or Bluetooth giving it a lot of versatility. My only gripe is it is a bit on the light side compared to my Corsair M65. This feeling a lot lighter then the M65 I tend to lift it from my desk, however the senor still picks up a great signal as I do it.
Using this mouse, besides the weight, feels great in my hand. The fact that it has three savable profiles to the mouse, for lighting and DPI is awesome. It means I don't need the to run the CUE software (which has gotten a lot better) to manage the color, DPI etc. I can just switch saved profiles.
The USB cable is also great, not your usual USB, but braided like there normal mouse cables, just detachable and I enjoy the fact that USB plug on the mouse is designed in such a way that it will only plug in one way. YAY no more dark fumbling. Using the mouse pluggd in or wireless I didn't notice a difference in the game play. I was still as bad as I normally am. But I missed with the accuray in all three modes, Bluetooth, Wireless Dongle and Cable.
This is a great little mouse, esp. if you like them on the lighter side. I have large hands, but it fits mine fine with no issues and I had no discomfort in use. Battery will last good while, Corsair rates it for 24 hours, I haven't had a chance to play that long, but its still charged for me. If you need a mouse and want wired and wireless, with an option for Bluetooth for your laptop on the go, you won't go wrong with this one.

Excellent Mic
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
The short of this is, if you need a MIC for a Boom or on your desk for streaming/podcasting or just chatting this is a great MIC. My family is loving it.
Setup:
For me the small details can show how great a product is overall and in the packaging I thought Turtle Beach did a wonderful job. Not only is each piece indvidually wrapped, but the parts where labeled with stickers to make assembly easy. Now this is not a difficult device to put together, but something small like that makes all the difference and I think says alot about how they feel about there product. Once all the pieces are out and the MIC assembled (very easy even without the directions) setup for a computer or XBOX (don't have a PS4) was easy. Plug it in and ensure the switch on the back is turned to PC/XBOX. Easy. No problems, nothing extra to download. Turtle Beach though does have a program to update and adjust the MIC on the PC, so I installed that. Very easy to install, only odd thing, but the program tells you, for it to see the MIC to update firmware etc, when plugged to the PC it needs to be set to XBOX Mode and drivers downloaded. Even that was more scratching my head then an issue and it did everything once it detected this.

Even that was more scratching my head then an issue and it did everything once it detected this.
USE:
This is a USB MIC. So you need an open USB port on your PC/XBOX/PS4. Luckily the XBOX One S has one right in the front, so easy access. I did like the fact the USB Cord included is long. Long enough to plug into my XBOX by the TV, and still allow me to sit a good distance away from the TV. If your using it with you PC it means if you have to use a USB port in the back no issues and should have plenty of slack to route it.
Using was not an issue. My kids wanted to "stream" so I got Mixer working and it saw the MIC with no issues and they went to town playing there games for Grandma watching across the country. I used to play a few online FPS's with friends and it was nice to not have a Boom around my mouth and see at a glance if I was on a hot mic or not. Then I used it for a few calls I had and again no said anything about voice quaility, which to me, means it works great. It has a few modes too to adjust the sound and how it picks up and easy to tune based on the room and situation you are in, since at a glance the color on the front lets you know what mode your in. Again I had no issues with the use and I was loud and clear on the other side.

Possible Downsides:
If you want to have your headphones to let you listen to your voice that you are sending they better have a 3.5mm jack (that seems to be going away). Not a problem for me for me, but for some who want to go wireless note that won't work with this to hear what you sound like via the MIC.
Only other issue is it rather large as you would expect for a MIC like this, so make sure you have real estate on your desk. It does have a nice heavy base, but not too heavy, really just right for me, so it keeps it from sliding.

Again if you need a MIC for streaming etc. and have the space or a Boom this works great and couldn't be happier.

Take the party anywhere with this Sony portable speaker. It's safe to use at the pool or beach thanks to an IP67 rating that allows total water immersion, and flashing lights add mood to the music. This Sony portable speaker's Extra Bass keeps things pumping, and the Live Sound feature provides three-dimensional audio.

The Sony speaker overall is a great looking and to me at least great sounding product. This thing looks slick and even the lights are a nice touch.
This will be a great Summer BBQ speaker with IPX67 water resistance its durable enough to travel and if you add the Android App to help tune the speaker and add some fun additions you got a winner. Its just a perfect outdoor lets enjoy the night type of device.
I also love that this speaker with a 24 hour battery (depending on usage and lighting effects) can also charge your phone so it can double as a backup battery, which is nice in a pinch.
Music plays great and like I said sounds good. It is also nice to be able to change the DSP setting from heavy Bass to Live Music with a push of a button. Since something the music is less bass and to adjust that a push of a button is a wonderful feature.
I know I'm gushing, but this is a truly nice looking speaker that also sounds great, something I don't mind displaying while it beats the tunes out. It works and works well. Its everything I would want in a portable speaker and think Sony did a great job with this one.
Additonally they include a charger, though if you forget it at home a standard micro-USB cable can also be used with no issues.
Sony has a nice speaker and if you want something to be able to display at your BBQ and keep the party going or get it started this may be just what you are looking for.

Experience powerful graphics and virtual reality with this HP Pavilion gaming desktop. 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.

Their Bluetooth connectivity lets you stream music and take calls from compatible devices, and the built-in battery provides up to 9 hours of playback time on a single charge. Jam to your favorite tunes in comfort with the foldable, around-the-neck design of these Sony wireless headphones.
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.
