Custom Options in a Small Package
on August 4, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
This keyboard is perfect if you are looking for a space saving keyboard. I have very small hands so I actually prefer a smaller keyboard while gaming. Even though the keyboard is small, it still has a nice weight that keeps the unit in place during a heavy typing or gaming session. It feels great under the fingers with a nice textured feel on the keys, great feedback and a satisfying sound. There is a lot of key travel, so if you are used to a gaming laptop or a standard keyboard, the mechanical keys can take a while to get used to.
There are great customization options.You can customize each key for not just different LED lights but key stroke functions, and each key has a dual purpose- the first half of the press is for one function, while pressing down 100% activates a second function. You can also set up different profiles for different games so you don't have to customize every time you change games. I don't think you will find a keyboard with more customization options in this small of a form factor.

Good indoor/ bright light camera
on July 22, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
I have a Kangaroo home security system, so I was very excited to try this indoor/outdoor camera. If I could replace my current cameras with the Kangaroo cameras, it would stream line my home security. Unfortunately, while this works fine for indoors and bright light, the outdoor and low light performance leaves a lot to be desired.
The indoor and daytime outdoor image quality is really good for a camera at this price point. Low-light video is noisy and grainy. I could see someone was outside, but couldn't really distinguish enough facial features to make an identification if it was needed.
My biggest complaint is with motion detection. As of now, there's no way to get notification for certain types of motion (i.e, person or vehicle). The software just detects motion and sends all notifications through the app. As an example, I had this set up in my side yard, which is close to my neighbor (I live in a town home community) and every time she turned on a light, the Kangaroo cam would detect it as motion and I would receive a notification. I've gone through the settings hoping I'm missing something, but the software (as of now) doesn't seem to support person, pet, or vehicle detection which most cameras in the price range already do.
For now, I'm using this as an indoor camera to keep an eye on my home when I'm away. Hopefully a future software update can add better motion detection settings. Until then, if you're looking for a camera wth more robust motion detection options, I would skip this for now.

Easy installation for newbies, great performance
on July 16, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
I'm slowly adding more smart home devices to my house, but this is my first go at trying a smart thermostat. Honestly, I was a little concerned with the installation, as I planned to do it myself and had never installed a thermostat before. However, I downloaded the Sensi app, and it walked me through the
the step-by-step process, and before I knew it, I had I smart thermostat.
It was easy to connect to my wifi and to add to Alexa. I used the Sensi app to set up schedules (cooler at night, a little warmer about half an hour before my alarm goes off. It works well with Alexa. With the record-breaking heat in my area, it's nice to be able to control the temperature from whatever room I'm in if it gets uncomfortable or stuffy. I try to keep an eye on my usage to keep my electric bill in check, and the app keeps you notified so you don't have sticker shock when your bill comes due! I hope being able to monitor the usage pays off at the end of the month.
Overall, I'm very happy with this thermostat, both for the ease of installation and the great functionality.

Just place your device against the Velox mount, and it will snap into place in perfect alignment for up to 7.5W of wireless power.

Use a case? You can't use this charger!
on July 11, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
The iOtti does what it says it will do, which is charge my iPhone with Magsafe, but its not without its issues. This will NOT work with your phone in a case. I don't know of anyone who carries an iphone without a case, so I'm not sure who this product is aimed at. The Magnet is strong enough to hold the phone through most driving, but there were a few times when I had to brake hard or turn quickly, an my phone fell off the charger-- without a case. The phone was okay, but it was unnerving to see such an expensive piece of hardware go sailing across my car.
Your vent is also unusable. The Phone complety blocks the flow of air, and the weight pulls it almost closed. In the winter, this may not be a big deal, but Summers here are brutal. I need all the air circulation I can get.
This was super easy to use, just plug in the cigarette lighter and clip it onto your vent, and it kept my phone charged wihile using my phone for navigation, but not being able to use a case with this charger was a deal breaker.

Lightweight powerful security
on July 11, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
This was extremely easy to download and install, and it's more than just an anti virus, its a complete security suite with utilities that keep your computer protected and running optimally. In addition to keeping my computer clear of viruses, trojans, and malware, it provides access to a VPN. In addition to protecting your privacy, this allows you to access streaming sites from other countries so you can watch content that's not available in your home country.
This suite also scans the dark web for your information, such as passwords or other identifiable information that was part of a data breech. I've been lax in my security because in the past the software woul bog down my system, make certain websites hard to access, and would constantly show pop-up alerts when I was trying to get work done or watch videos. I haven't noticed any of those issues with Norton. It runs in the background, and except for an occasional email, I don't even notice it's there.
My only issue is that this requires an annual auto-renewal. I'm not a fan of auto renewing software, but this seems to be here to stay.

Good daily driver for most casual users
on July 2, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
Not everyone needs a high-end gaming or graphics computer, and the Dell- Inspiron Compact Desktop is a great general purpose desktop computer that will exceed the demands most casual users place on their computer.
While most people have moved to laptops exclusively, a good desktop can still earn its place with features that are no longer standard on most laptops, including an internal DVD+RW drive and the ability to easily upgrade memory and graphics cards.
I was able to open and navigate several large spreadsheets, browse the internet, create Powerpoints, do some light video editing, and listen to music without a hitch. Switching between tasks was quick with no hiccups. The included 12 GB RAM will be enough for most casual users, but if you want to play higher-end games or do serious video or music editing, the out of the box RAM won't be enough. The machine is much quieter than my laptops with much less fan noise.
It comes with a fairly basic wired keyboard and mouse. They work fine, but if you're picky about your input devices, you'll want to upgrade.
If you're looking for a basic computer for business tasks or school work, this is a great option that is upgradable and doesn't take up much room.

Flawlessly connected, Fiercely protected. Austere is moving beyond the primary function of providing power, to a place where performance, safety, and design come together to define what you should expect in power. Using our PureFiltration technology, Austere Power cleans noise and artifacts, that can travel through power lines and keeps them from impacting your devices. In addition, the Omniport USB provides rapid charge and protection for low-voltage devices. Austere also employs flameless MOV circuits and thermal protected outlets, keeping you safe from a home electrical fire. And if anything were to happen, our Component Guarantee promises to protect your equipment from damage, regardless of its value, whenever your devices are plugged into an Austere Power product. And because how it looks is as important as what it does, Austere’s proprietary aDesign philosophy elevates function through purposeful engineering and sleek design. Our surge protector power strips have a brushed aluminum housing, which creates an elegant way to power your home electronic devices. Always. Not all power is created equal. You may not know it, but your surge protectors can wear out over time. Joules–the protective layer of energy that defends your components–are finite. And when they are gone, it leaves your system completely unprotected from shock or surge. Traditional surge protectors only last a year or two so if you can’t remember when you last refreshed your home’s power, it’s likely time to do it now. And to take out the guesswork of when your Austere Power needs to be replaced, the blue protection shield icon on the Power unit will cease to illuminate once the Joules have been used. But that won’t happen for a long time because Austere Power is rated to last more than five times as long as most power products and guarantees to safeguard your system with our Component Guarantee.

Peace of mind for your entertainment system.
on July 2, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
This is an incredible high-end power strip for power users. Everything from the packaging (it comes in a fabric lined cradle) to the brushed aluminum finish screams quality. I have this behind my TV to connect my television, sound bar, speakers, and, modem and router. Unlike the lower-end products, there is plenty of room for all of the larger plugs-- no more switching or turning the plugs in different configurations to get them all to fit.
There are six AC outlets, 2 USB connectors, and 2 USB-C connectors so there are plenty of options for whatever you're connecting to this surge protector. In addition to protecting your electronics, the LED lights give you peace of mind. When the LEDs are blue, then your devices are protected.
The PureFiltration blocks electrical noise and ensures sharp pictures for movies and gaming, and great sound through your audio components. Honestly, this isn't something that I've struggled with in the past, so I'm not sure how effective this feature is.
With the high cost of electronics, it's worth it to spend a little more to make sure you have the most protection and best performance for your devices.

A must-buy for those with the Wyze Lock
on June 23, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
This keypad is a great addition to the Wyze Smart Lock. While it's not absolutely necessary to take advantage of the lock's features, it does extend the functionality and make it easier to use.
The keypad is easy to install, and is very small so it doesn't stand out. At first I was worried about having a keypad because I feel like it advertises the smart lock and invites hacking attempts, but it's nondescript and not noticeable until you get up to the door. It was easy to pair with the lock and the app walks you through the pairing process.
Each family member can be assigned their own code, so if you're away, it's easy to know when family members make it home safely, because the app notifies you when the door has been unlocked and who unlocked it. One of the best part of having this keypad is allowing others one time access to my home without giving them a key or needing to be present to let them in the door.
You can set your Wyze lock to auto unlock when you arrive at home, but I've found that feature to be sluggish. It's much easier to punch in your keycode rather than fiddle with your key or open the app on your phone.
If you have the Wyze Smart Lock, this keypad is a must buy to get the most out of your lock.

Wyze Lock is a staple in our smart home wizardry. This is a smart lock that that does what you expect, and really all that you need from a smart lock. Wyze Lock is Wi-Fi capable, so you can control it remotely from your phone to let the dog walker in, or make sure it gets locked after you left on your vacation in such a rush. That’s not all this bad boy can do. Wyze Lock comes equipped with App and knows when you arrive home and automatically unlocks as you approach the door. Once inside, Wyze Lock’s built-in gyroscope detects when the door is closed and automatically locks behind you. It’s got all that and more. Like we said, all the tech you need, now at a price you can afford.

Great smart lock for renters
on June 23, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
I have several Wyze devices in my home (two video cameras, and two smart bulbs) and this is a great addition to my burgeoning smart home.
I'm a renter, and this is a great option for a smart lock because it uses the existing lock hardware, so I'm not violating the lease. The Wyze app walks you through installation step by step, and it was super easy. It took less than 10 minutes and communicates easily with the lock gateway. You will need an outlet close to your door, so be aware of that.
The Wyze lock can also be connected to your digital assistant. I have my lock connected to Alexa, and it works well. To unlock the door, you will need to set up a pin number in order to unlock the door with you voice.

The auto-lock feature, which locks the door as soon as you close it behind you, is active as the default. You can change the setting to lock after one minute, five minutes, or 60 minutes, or you can disable the feature. I chose to disable the feature, as I think it increases the chance that i could end up locked out of my house!
The only feature that I found buggy is the auto unlock feature. The Wyze app uses location based features to unlock the door when you arrive home, but I've found that it isn't always reliable. Sometimes it works great, but at others it takes several minutes to notice that you are home. Once, it did not auto unlock at all until after I was home and had locked the door behind me.
A keypad is available for this lock at an extra cost, but its not necessary for the lock to function. You can control the lock in the app or with your voice.

Great sound, but with a few quirks
on June 23, 2022
Posted by: GeekGirl10
Sennheiser is a great audio brand, and these ear buds live up to the Sennheiser reputation. First things first, these sound great, especially for a true wireless set of earbuds. The vocals are crisp and clear, an the bass is full without being muddled or overpowering the midranges. They aren't going to make a true audiophile happy, but for most users, especially those who are using these for running or working out at the gym, these will be a welcome addition to your audio collection. Battery life is good, but not spectacular. I was able to get around 6 hours of continuous use before I needed to recharge. I do listen at a loud volume, so for those who listen at a more reasonable level, you may get more battery life.
I took one star off for two reasons- number one is the open vs closed gel tips for focus vs aware modes. This is a really finicky way to add functionality that other buds offer using software. It doesn't really work as well as advertised, and it's a pain to have to swap and keep up with an extra set of tips. The second knock against these is the size. They feel huge in my ears, and even with the fins attached, they didn't feel secure. I never had an issue with them falling out, but the size was just bulky and distracting.
Overall, these are great sounding and a decent price, but there are a few quirks that may not make them the best choice for everyone, especially if you have smaller ears.

Is the coffee really hot when it comes out?

The single serve is hotter than what I get with my Keurig, but the brewed pot isn't quite as hot as my Mr Coffee.
