Straightforward, serves the purpose electric shave

This is a no frills wet/dry electric shaver that serves its purpose well, which is to say that it provides a decent shave and incorporates good features such as safety shutoff/lock so you can't start it if its plugged into the wall, easy to access and clean heads and a nice sideburn trimmer

Nice product but wish it would fit smaller phones
on November 22, 2020
Posted by: pinkoos
from Houston, TX
The premise is simple - a portable battery charger in the shape of a gaming controller. The execution is good - the grips are easy to hold and, if you have the correct size phone, it fits nicely within the battery/controller. The ability to simultaneously charge and play is nice, as there is a built in fan that will keep your phone cool as it charges and you play. My only wish is that it would fit smaller phones. At the time I got the controller I had an iPhone XR but have since changed to a smaller iPhone 12 mini which is too small for this controller unfortunately. But, I can still use it as a portable battery charger.

The AU-Stream Hybrid is a premium headphone engineered to create a powerful sound that exceeds expectations in a true wireless earbud. The AU-Stream Hybrid reduces the ambient noise in your surroundings and, like all of Ausounds' Soundproof noise-cancelling earbuds, this earbud still provides the most detailed and accurate sound, even when ANC is employed

Battery issues, ear tips uncomfortable
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: pinkoos
from Houston, TX
I've had battery issues from the get go with these true wireless headphones. I had fully charged them before first use and then tried them out over a few days for maybe one hour maximum. Would put them back in the charging case. About 3 days later when I wanted to use them again, they were dead - the case was dead as were the earbuds. Not sure what's going on, but that's not the kind of battery life I would have thought these things would have. Also, the shape of the silicon ear tips make them rather uncomfortable. I know this is more of a personal preference, so my star rating is not based on this fact. Lastly, I'm not really impressed by the sound. They sound fine, but I don't think they sound as good as they're made out to or for the price.

I don't have a way of measuring the output on this charger, but it seems to work well. Fits well in my car lighter socket and charges fast enough for my needs. No complaints from me.

I sold my 'Fruit' Watch and kept the ScanWatch
on October 21, 2020
Posted by: pinkoos
from Houston, TX
I've worn a smartwatch from a certain fruit company for the better part of 5 years before getting the ScanWatch. I got sick and tired of the increasing complexity of the fruit watch, the constant software updates (that took hours) in order to fix ever present bugs and, basically, just having a computer strapped to my wrist. I wanted something simpler that actually looked like a watch (and not a black square of glass) but still provided notifications and health and wellness features. Along came the ScanWatch which pretty much checked off every box of what I was looking for. You get a round dial with a real watch face, a simple dial to track your daily activity and a small OLED screen for notifications, step count, heart rate, etc. And, because this isn't really a computer on your wrist, battery life is killer - quoted at 30 days, which I have every reason to believe based on my limited usage so far. I highly recommend the ScanWatch.

No secure way to attach
on October 21, 2020
Posted by: pinkoos
from Houston, TX
This is the second Logitech webcam I've owned and they both have the same fatal flaw - there is no kind of tension clip that allows easy on/off attachment to a monitor. The way this 'attaches' to the monitor is to, in effect, just sit on top of the upper monitor edge. If you move or bump your monitor, the webcam will either go out of alignment or, more likely, just fall off. I haven't used other company's webcams so I don't know if this is just the industry standard in terms of attaching the camera to your monitor but, regardless, it's a deal breaker for me and I imagine many others. As for the video quality, I wasn't expecting anything mind blowing as it's only 720p so I don't really have a complaint about that. But, again, why can't a simple tension clip be used to attach the webcam to the monitor?

No instruction manual (and that's a good thing)
on October 15, 2020
Posted by: pinkoos
from Houston, TX
By far my favorite thing about this toaster is that it did NOT come with an instruction manual (as far as I can tell). I don't believe there is a link for an online instruction manual either. For some reason, I found this the most refreshing thing about unboxing and using this toaster. Other than that, though, the toaster works very well, just like I hope it would. From the controls to the readout to the crumb tray, everything about this toaster just works. I guess that's why no manual is needed.

I tried to like these and give them a shot, but in the end I can’t give them more than an average rating. The main problems I’ve had with them is the ANC status and equalizer settings resetting each time I put them back in the charging case - once I take them out to use them the next time it seems the ANC is at a different setting from the previous use, as is the equalizer. On top of that, having to use taps on the sides of the buds to change settings is a frustrating experience to say the least. And, yes, I had made sure that the firmware was updated prior to using these for the first time.

Charges fast and efficiently

Posted by: pinkoos
from Houston, TX
Great, fast 12W charger for two devices. I'm currently using it with an iPhone XR and iPad mini 5th generation and have had great results in terms of speed of charging, even when charging both simultaneously. Can't go wrong with Belkin as usual.

Install it and then forget about it
on September 5, 2020
Posted by: pinkoos
from Houston, TX
Having a Mac, I never really concerned myself with viruses as it seems they were always targeted toward the Windows PC crowd. However, in recent years, viruses aren't the only things we need to be on the look out for. There's malware, phishing attempts, ransomware, etc. And, both Macs and PCs are essentially equally susceptible. The thing I like about Malware Bytes Premium is the 'install it and forget about it' aspect. Once you've set it up, it takes care of everything automatically. I've set my copy up to scan in the middle of the night so that if any issue has been found, it will be presented to me first thing in the morning when I get to my Mac. I've set the software up on my kid's and wife's computers so that I know we're all protected in real time.

With 14.7 million pixels, the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is the most powerful iMac ever. It features quad-core Intel® processors, the latest AMD graphics, a 1TB Fusion Drive, and great built-in apps. All in the same ultrathin design that's just 5mm at the edge.

5 out of 5Best iMac EVER
By My135
I had originally bought the 4K model since it was on sale but it just ran slow since it had the regular hard drive. I went home set it up and was eh ok with it. I then saw the 5K with fusion drive on sale for about $600 more... I basically packed the 4K model up and immediately returned it and got this one! This machine is so awesome! It is my first iMac purchase and I don't regret it at all! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!

Speed difference between 4K hdd and 5K Fusion?
February 26, 2016
Hi,
Just wondering if you'd comment on the speed difference between the 4K you initially bought and the 5K Fusion you replaced it with? The Fusion only has a 24GB SSD tied to the 1TB hard drive, so I'm wondering how the smallish SSD works in terms of speed. Thanks.
