All in one security

AVG security suite offers easy setup and installation, once key is purchased it is extremely easy to setup on all of your devices. You can simply log in to the AVG My Account page and find all of the download links you need for your PC, MAC and Android devices. The initial file download is very small at only 4mb. Once you download and open the installer you are greeted with a log in page simply use your account information to login and you are done. No need to enter license keys or any other information.
Scanning seems fast and other options such as password protect, Tune up, AVG secure VPN all work well and can be purchase separately later on if you did not get the full package.
Tune up cleans up cookies or disabled programs unnecessary running in the background. The VPN is used to mask your IP address so you cant be tracked and are nice features. AVG gives you a lot of features for a security suite.

Avoid Dentist Cleaning Bills
on October 15, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
This is my first electric toothbrush and impressed with it so far, when I first took it out the box it was already fully charged so used it right away. It has a very powerful vibrations for cleaning, feels like a professional dental equipment, with modes of cleaning: Clean, Gum Care and Deep Clean. Myself regular clean mode is more than enough for my needs and really could feel the difference of my teeth surface compared to a regular brushing, like I mentioned before felt like I had a cleaning at the dentist. After using it for almost two weeks now, can see an improvement and almost embarrassed that I have not purchase an electric brush sooner. The unit comes with two brush heads for plaque removal, rechargeable base and travel case, not sure how long it will keep a charge since I keep my base plugged in but all parts are small enough to travel. The only thing I should mention as a negative is a bit hard to keep clean since there is a space between the motor base and brush unit, besides that this item is worth the investment.

Great monitor
on September 26, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
Colors and contrast are excellent on this monitor while just surfing but it really shines while gaming if you have a card that has Freesync. I played DOOM which had less graphic lag that my older monitor with is only 30 MHZ, also ran some color and contrast test with good results. Performance overall was great and will satisfied most gamer's and productive folks who use editing software for pictures/videos.
This monitor has VESA mounting 3 video inputs HDMI, DVI, VGA (VGA cable included) 300 nits. The tilt is adjustable but no way to rotate the screen and the base that holds up the monitor feels cheap.

This is a good gaming monitor with a few bells and whistles if you own a compatible AMD GPU.
PROS:
Crisp picture
Slim and lightweight.
4 ms response time
Customized settings
CONS:
No 180 degree rotation
Flimsy base

Top Notch!!!
on September 21, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
SUMMARY
Quality sound for the active lifestyles that fits your head securely and offers good battery life.
Pros:
Adjustable E/Q
Great battery life
Sweat-proof
Comfortable fit
Lightweight
Wired 3.5 adapter
Customize touch controls
Cons:
E/Q function is on app only
No noise reduction
These headphones are adjustable and offer a tight, stable fit on your ears for the gym. Sweatproof and seem really durable with up to 24 hours on a full charge. Pairing my device was easy with the quick set up guide included but full manaul for features is not included, full manual here: https://www.plantronics.com/content/dam/plantronics/documents-and-guides/en/user-guides/backbeat-fit-6100-ug.pdf.
You need to download the Back Beat App and update device to access the E/Q features were you have 3 choices: PLT Signature Balanced, Bright and Bass modes, I prefer PLT but did check out the bass mode which was really good. Sound quality in general with good highs, mids and lows. Very nice headphones to listen to music while working out or on the plane, list of features include:
Adjustable sport-fit headband
Powerful 40 mm drivers
All-day comfort
Sweat proof and water-resistant
24 hours of power
Awareness mode
EQ settings
On-ear touch controls
My Tap
Compact and foldable
Multipoint
Micro-USB to 3.5 mm cable
I really like the my tap features (this is the ear touch feature you use to control tracks & volume on right headset) were you can customize functions and the awareness mode button were you can quickly hear someone talking to you without lowering the music for a sec. I'm a happy camper with these headphones

Xfinity users may have issues with App
on September 12, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
I could not connect the Shark Clean app to the robot, the app only can connect to a 2.4 GHZ signal. My router is a combination of 2.4 and 5 GHZ and it assigns which one the device uses automatically , the app needs a SSID that is only 2.4. I called Shark customer service (1-888-228-5531) they stated that I might try calling Xfinity so the 2.4 network could have priority, after a chat session with Xfinity mentioned that their router is not design to have separate SSID’s (one 2.4 SSID and one 5 GHZ SSID) and was not recommended. Since I can’t connect the app and use all of the features don't really have much use for it, I did still ran the vacuum by hitting the clean button and it works pretty well but only did one room, It has doorway strips to block locations and seems to get itself out of tight corners but still managed to get stuck in-between my TV and sub woofer.
I think the app needs to be updated to include Xfinity routers.

Fantastic Smoothies & Blender
on September 1, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
This item is perfect if you need a blender and Nutribullet for smoothies, it has a powerful motor with a full size blender and two Nutribullet cup attachments. The base seems to be very sturdy with weight and suction cups, plus a very compact design. I was making smoothies in no time with a press of the extract button that does everything automatically by following recipes in the included recipe book. Chops through ice, nuts etc with ease and easy to clean. I’m very happy with the Nutribullet blender combo.

Features?????
on August 21, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
This is my first dash cam so good instructions on how to operate the features would have been nice, but Cobra is lacking in that dept. After downloading the iRadar app I had to go the settings (physical button on bottom of cam) to connect the device. The instructions tells you in diagram to get the RED iRadar app but after that your on your own. Now it’s not hard to figure out but if your a first timer with a dash cams it probably will take a little extra effort, this is my biggest gripe.
On a positive note from what I can tell? You just hit the record button and forget for continuous recording and it records automatically when you turn the car on, picture quality is good. Things get iffy when iRadar is concern because I did not get any alerts regarding radar but I honestly don’t know how it works since there are no instruction on it so that is a real bummer. Other good thing is that it comes with a 32 gig SD card and physical set up is straight forward.
As far as a basic dash cam, it seems like a good product but radar feature may be more a gimmick (the feature I really wanted) so a little disappointed in this product.
Video of quality here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7CPRY5Sdqs&feature=youtu.be
THE GOOD:
Clear video
Small form factor
Come with 32 gig SD Card
THE BAD:
Poor instructions
Tiny LCD screen
Not really sure if I set up iRadar right or not?

Air frying & Digital
on August 12, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
What I liked:
Digital controls. Are pretty convenient to touch a button and set your time and cooking temp, other times you sort of just want to turn a knob. I’m more of an analog (knob controls) person but I can appreciate that some people love having higher tech digital controls.
One thing that I notice right away is that the digital controls are different. This is good, as many brands seem to buy their Air fryers from a single source then re-brand them. The Chefman digital Air Fryer is different. This fryer has you set the temp then timer, plus the fact that you can stop cooking on a dime (a feature you can’t do on the analog one) makes this a better choice in my opinion.
I cook some hot wings at 375 for 20 mins and they came out perfect (pictured).
What I disliked:
Wished it was a little bigger like 4.5 quarts.
Final Thoughts:
This air fryer is a much better alternative than running an oven during the summer and if you follow the directions can use it as much as myself which is three times a week with enjoyment.

Best design for working out
on August 4, 2019
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Fresno
SUMMARY
If you’re looking to break a sweat alongside your favorite tunes, At the gym. Or the mountain, the track – wherever you get your workouts these headphones are designed just for that, with wing design that securely keep them in place and long battery life.
THE GOOD:
Adjustable EQ
Excellent battery life 70 hour w/ case
IP66 Sweatproof and dust resistant
Can play one ear bud at a time (left side only for music)
Great sound
Good fit
THE BAD:
Charging case on the big side
Not a very sleek design
Limited EQ options
Bass Boost is lacking compared to others
Epic Air Sport has many ear tip options are included. Inside a flip-out section of the box are seven different choices: Four sizes of silicone ear tips, a pair of double-layered ear tips, triple-layered ear tips, and foam ear tips. I preferred the standard silicone in most instances, but the foam was nice in particularly noisy settings. You will have no trouble finding a great fit.
Pairing is a easy process, which is something that can't be said for others. Power up, you hold down the power button on both earphones for a few seconds. Then you pair one earpiece with your mobile device, and the other with the now-paired first earpiece, and you're set. The status LEDs blink rapidly or slowly during this process to guide you and let you know when both earpieces are ready.
Sound is really good and the fact that you have 3 EQ options (although I wish there were more custom options) make this even better but Jlab siganture EQ is the best while the Bass option is not as good as other headphones I have.
Call quality is good as well. I should also mention that Bluetooth range is excellent too, main Bluetooth antenna seems to be on the right side so will have to have your phone on that side if you don’t want any cut off’s (I wish manufactors would have the anttenna on both sides)
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Epic Air earphones deliver a strong sound signature that is typical of workout-focused in-ear pairs: but with enough definition in the high-mids and highs to keep a semblance of balance. The sound will motivate your workouts. You're looking at a solid option. And of the true wireless designs we've tested, the JLab manages to have the most useful controls and best charging case at a comparatively reasonable price. But some option from Apple are hard to beat and offer deeper Bass plus price tag:)
I really do like these and if I didn’t own others in higher categories, these would have been my daily drivers. The features like built in USB cable for case, battery life and great overall performance does put this above some others.

So Far SO Good
By JohnB1970
I bought this phone to see if it would work on a free government plan (Safelink) and did not want to pay a lot for premium phone but did want some premium features. The phone works perfectly on Safelink (I am extremely happy about not paying a cell bill anymore) plus does everything a $400 phone does. This phone outperforms my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime in every way and for $130 (on sale plus I had Best Buy points) . Great build quality, fast processor, plenty of storage and ram. Picture quality is good to me, since I'm use to entry level phones but does not compare to other premium phones.
Ended up selling it on Ebay
July 23, 2016
It crashed and rebooted a couple of times within 3 months so I contacted support, but by the time they responded (week later) I already sold it on Ebay and a Nexus 5X on Project Fi.

Experience legendary performance and sound of ASTRO Audio V2, with the convenience and freedom that comes without wires. The A50 Wireless + Base Station for PS5 /PS4 / PC delivers top-of-the-line acoustics, ergonomics, comfort and durability that gamers demand. The all-new Base Station provides clear, low-latency voice communication, while making headset pairing and charging simple. The ASTRO Command Center software allows gamers and streamers to tune every input and output parameter of the A50 precisely for their specific setup.

From past reviews on the A50s there was a charging station to headset connection issue. In this new A50 headset has that been fixed? Does the mic take out background noise up to how many DBs? Does the RF automatically select the best frequency?

Seems to be fixed after firmware update.

Safeguard your home with this Arlo security camera system. Its 4K resolution provides maximum clarity so you don't miss a single detail, and a siren is integrated so you can fend off intruders either remotely or while at home. This Arlo security camera system is weather-resistant, so it's functional rain or shine.
 

Do the Ultra cameras have improved motion detection compared to the Pro 2? I currently get false alerts when the Pro 2 detects shadows from tree limbs. I would like to upgrade only if the Ultra has improved motion detection.

Can't answer your question regarding comparison, but I had the same issue with the Ultra regarding shadows/tree and resolved it by lowering motion sensitivity to 65% and limit the motion detection area.
