When you need to be wired
on July 7, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Many newer, slimmer devices are coming with only USB-C ports as input and charge ports while not including larger ports like a standard Ethernet port. However, with an adapter like this USB-C to Ethernet + charge adapter you can use a standard gigabit Ethernet cable as well as charge your device at the same time. This works nicely if you are in an environment that doesn’t have any wireless capability or you must be in airplane mode but need network connectivity. This adapter provides up to gigabit speeds provided the network devices you attach to also provide up to that speed. The USB-C port on the adapter however, only works for passing through power and does not provide the full power to the device as some is lost through the adapter. Though not drastically different in times, it is noticeable when using the charger directly that you get a shorter charge time than through the adapter.

Technically USB-C splitter
on July 7, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
With many newer devices resorting to a singular USB-C port it is impossible to charge your device and use a USB-C audio headset at the same time without an adapter. This USB-C Audio + Charge Adapter allows that. Even though it supports up to 60W chargers, it will not provide that full power to the device, even with nothing else actually attached to it. Though not drastically different in times, it is noticeable when using the charger directly that you get a shorter charge time than through the adapter. Even though this is listed as audio + charger and shows labels for headphones and power, it is interchangeable and will work with other USB-C devices.

Add some monitoring to your devices
on June 23, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Filtering and balancing online usage and content has been made fairly easy. Circle is a pretty comprehensive solution to manage online screen time and content at-home and on-the-go. The Circle App works with any iOS or Android device to manage all your family’s Wi-Fi devices at home – from laptops and tablets to smart TVs and video game consoles – and your mobile devices across all networks, from anywhere. Circle Home Plus is built for modern networks with a 1GB Ethernet port and 2.4ghz wireless connection. The built-in backup battery ensures Circle Home Plus keeps running even when unplugged.
The Circle Home Plus, a cube shape, is simple to install and for the most part simple to manage through the mobile app, which is the only way to manage it. It allows some control over most network connected devices, such as application filters and time limits. With the tap of the pause button you can prevent most items from connecting to the internet, but it seems hit or miss at times on when and what is paused. It can also provide history of some internet activity of connected devices, but not all. The only way it will get full control and all history is if you install the Circle app on an Android or iOS device as a kid device and let it use the background VPN. If you want the most control over your child's cell phone or tablet, the circle app will do it without even needing the Circle Home Plus.
Unlike some other parental control and network protection devices, like on many routers, this attaches to the network and is not in line with the network, but an extension of. Like some, the parental control devices are the router or between the router and modem, this is just another device, which I found odd and I think is the source of some of the issues I have with it. Some issues included a long delay in deactivating and activating devices whether it was for bedtimes, granting extended rewards, or just pausing. When pausing the internet, it wasn’t like router controls and stop actual network activity, so some activities, like watching Youtube would continue until the page was refreshed or a new video selected. This is because they are using ARP spoofing to redirect your traffic. There was also no warning page, like other parental control devices have, showing that they were blocked or to ask for permission, it just wouldn’t load or give an unsecure warning because it is essentially acting like a hacker on your network unless you installed their personal certificate on the mobile device. The biggest issue I had was that my mobile device, which was added to a profile and controlled the Circle Home, couldn’t unpause the network because it lost connection to the Circle Home. I would have to disconnect from my WiFi and use mobile data to unpause my internal paused network. As with router parental controls you are still connected to the internal network, just not to the internet. The Circle Home just attempts to interrupt everything.
The premium features of the Circle app are included for three months and for a fee per month after that. These features include bedtime, time limits, off time, location, rewards and pause. It is reduced to filter, history and usage if you don’t subscribe after 3 months. Which seems odd to pause your own internal network for that much per month. With the mobile app and the background VPN I found that network speeds were reduced slightly. This is a constant background application as well and has some impact on battery life as it requires to bypass power management.
Some additional features of the Circle Home Plus include battery backup and the ability to connect to the network using 2.4Ghz WiFi. This is good if your kids think simply unplugging the Circle Home Plus will bypass their interrupted connection. If not connected using the ethernet cable, the Circle Home Plus will continue to work, but at a connectivity cost for all managed devices as it uses the 2.4Ghz connection, adding latency and reducing connectivity speed.
For complete parental control of mobile devices I can see the Circle App on Android and iOS devices providing that total watch and control. For home devices that aren’t covered under those, the Circle Home Plus does add some feature control, but with added frustration and not as smooth as using some other providers. I can say that the mobile device features may be worth it as most home parental controls don’t extend to mobile connections, as kids can easily turn off their WiFi to get back on the internet if they have data services. But, there are other smart home security systems that have applications that can provide the same features and work much better on the network.

A party tube
on June 12, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This is a fun speaker. The various light settings and crystal clear audio make it a party on its own. For it’s design, it is a bit to carry unless you have big hands like myself. It is fairly large, a bit over 6lbs and no easy way to handle it without a broad grip. It is IP67 rated, so no worries with taking out by the pool or beach.
Like their previous models, it is easy to connect to Bluetooth with built in NFC. The Bluetooth range is stronger than I have seen on other speakers and the audio clarity of the speaker was still nice at over 75 feet away. With the Live mode you can hear the extra tweeters really throwing the highs. The “Extra Bass” on the other hand, didn’t seem very “extra”. You can see the sides of the speaker pumping with the bass, but it just didn’t seem to project as well as the mids and highs, so, really did not give a deep bass feel.
A feature that I enjoyed in previous models, known as Wireless Party Chain, is now called Party Connect. It has the same function of allowing up to 100 of the speakers to be connected to a single audio source, however, it only works with this series. So, if you have a XB21/31/41, XB22/32/42 that could connect to each other with WPC, they will not connect to the new XB23/33/43.
Using the Sony Music Center app you can change additional settings like the lighting patterns and your audio settings with a 3 band equalizer. There are some other DJ style settings in there as well, but those are more entertaining through the Fiestable app when selected from the Music Center app.
Battery life is pretty amazing and probably one reason it weighs as much. You could attain 24 hours on one charge, but of course as with anything on battery, it depends on specific settings such as stamina mode, party lights and volume level. But, for a typical outing, a full charge will cover you for several hours and still let you charge a separate device.
Overall it is a cool looking speaker and plays audio really clear. I just don’t feel the bass as I was expecting and the lack of connection with previous model speakers makes me feel like you must buy the new models all over again if you want to use the multi-speaker connect feature.

Updated system, outdated interface
on June 12, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
I have really enjoyed my Lorex DVR Surveillance system from 2018. However, putting it right beside the new 2020 NVR Surveillance System really shows the improvements. Now, some of the differences are due to DVR using coax video & power cable versus the NVR using CAT5E with power over Ethernet, and some of the differences are listed in an attached photo. But, it really feels like an upgrade even though both systems are 4K and very similar in many ways. One thing right off the bat were the cameras look and feel beefier than the former all plastic versions. The other difference between the DVR and NVR is that 105° camera versus 111° and it really makes a difference. I added a comparison of the two in a photo attached.
They added smart features to their models that help reduce notifications from bugs or birds flying in front of the camera. Which still takes a little tweaking, it’s a lot easier and reliable than the previous version. They also include active deterrence, which can turn on the two bright LED lights, image attached, or strobe them for a set amount of time when a person or vehicle is detected; the NVR can also activate an alarm. The alarm will get the person's attention, but sounds like a toy emergency vehicle.
Another difference between the DVR and NVR models is 6 frames per second recording on DVR versus 15 on NVR. I noticed on my old system, especially in low light, that anything that moved tended to have a blur to it and look choppy, fifteen frames per second is noticeably smoother. With the NVR you can also extend your cameras using an external POE switch that is connected to your network, or purchase the 12V adapters to power the camera and use a standard switch. The NVR also allows for the connection of their Lorex Fusion wireless devices through a WiFi router. One other difference between these models is that the NVR allows for 2 way audio, push to talk, and audio recording. For my particular setup the cameras are too far away from the typical location of people, so it is hard to communicate through them. However, when I was testing them out and had one at door height, I was able to easily communicate using the app on my phone.
The LOREX Home app is a little more modernized than the LOREX Cloud app that was used for the older DVR. It gives you notifications of person or vehicle, though it has had some false alerts, might need more tweaking. The app also allows for geofencing that you can enable the notifications automatically when you leave the area. Viewing live video, searching the timeline, activating the alarm or LED lights can all be done easily through the app. The interface through the connected monitor via HDMI for 4K, or VGA, not included, for 1080p, with the mouse still looks a bit dated though, and it takes some exploring to get to know where everything is. Some features were deep in menus and tabs. Also, don’t forget to hit APPLY after every change cause going to a different tab resets it. Some settings can only be set from the monitor though. Even using the PC application ‘FLIR Cloud’, which isn’t in the documentation anywhere, doesn’t give all the options. I feel the user interface should be consistent and accessible across the board.
Everything you need to get this system up and running is included in the box, just requires some planning. The 100ft of Non-UL listed surface mounted only CAT5E cable was more than enough to wrap around my house. But, technically not rated to go in-wall or floor-to-floor. Also keep in mind that the only location the video is recorded and saved is on that NVR unless you do a manual record from the mobile app, which is lower resolution. This means if the NVR is easily stolen, so is your video evidence.
Overall though, I like the added features of the NVR, the smart features and the ability to add other networked cameras. The 4K resolution is definitely better than 1080p systems I have used, but still leaves some graininess that doesn’t quite give the perfect image you would imagine. The user interface still leaves a lot to desire, but once set up the mobile app covers most options for the logged in user.

The Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-iQ features a new modern design and more functionality than Ninja's original Professional Kitchen System.* Ninja Total Crushing Blades and Pro Extractor Blades Assembly give you perfectly crushed ice for your smoothies, frozen drinks, and nutrient extractions**. The 72 oz.† Total Crushing Pitcher is great for making large batches for the whole family with 1400 peak watts of professional power. Plus, its two 24 oz. single-serve cups with spout lids makes it easy to take delicious, nutrient-rich smoothies on the go. But don’t just stop at drinks—the 8-cup processor bowl provides precision processing for even chopping, smooth purees, and up to 2 lbs. of dough. Auto-iQ Technology provides preset programs that do the work for you, no guesswork required. *Versus BL770, based on the number of available blending programs **Extract a drink containing vitamins and nutrients from fruits and vegetables †64 oz. max liquid capacity

Auto-iQ not quite there
on May 11, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This is essentially Ninja’s new model of their previous Mega Kitchen System with 5 preset Auto-iQ programs added. The large capacity and multiple blade systems do a pretty good job of blending and breaking things up. However, I found the 24-ounce single-serve cups with pro extractor blades did a lot better in making smoothies. The 72 oz cup left some larger ice chunks even after a couple runs of the smoothie Auto-iQ option. I found running the Auto-iQ option at least twice on most options seemed to provide more consistent results. The chopping bowl has been nice for chopping vegetables and I was surprised at the speed of the dough blade. I used to think of dough as something that you typically slowly mix, but I made the lemon bar recipe from the manual and it was more like a pie crust, but was smooth and consistent after three auto runs.
I found it kind of strange, but I guess safe at the same time, that you can’t do anything with the blender till the pitcher is locked in and the lid is locked closed as well. However, with the complexity of the lids and the two pitchers they had water trapped in areas when washed. I’ve been hand washing, but I would assume it may leave residue in a dishwasher it only slowly drains from a small hole.
Overall, if you need a food processor style blender, like making smoothies or mixing anything in fairly large quantities, then this package hits the mark.

Too spotty
on May 11, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
The August WiFi Smart Lock is simple to install and works for the most part. I’ve had really spotty issues with some of it’s smart features since I have had it though. These may be things that can get ironed out over time through software patches or they just randomly start working like they have for me.
To install the lock you must download the app to a smart device and there you get step by step directions, with pictures. It really is as simple as removing two screws, putting the right adapter on the lock, putting the screws back in and attaching the lock. To use the door sense feature you have a hidden option, which requires some wood work, or the external sensor, which is like that of post install security systems. Then continuing the directions you add the lock through BlueTooth to your device and can connect it to 2.4 Ghz WiFi from there.
Upon initial setup, everything seemed to work. I received notifications and using the app I could lock/unlock the door and see if it is opened or closed. Additional features in the app allow for setup of auto lock and unlock and various notifications like if the door is opened manually, left ajar, unlocked by a specific user or auto-locked. Also, some features may not be visible unless you are connected to the device via BlueTooth at that time, like calibrate and factory reset.
The auto lock feature works every time the door is shut, if it is not shut completely it will still attempt to lock, but give an audible alert if it fails. The auto unlock feature is supposed to react by geofencing after returning from greater than 200ft from the location that you set. However, it has only worked after I manually unlocked, walked inside, then auto-locked the door, for it to then unlock itself and properly once when I returned from a long overnight trip. When using the app, I have had it not respond on WiFi and only unlock if close enough to get a BlueTooth signal. This is with the WiFi router in the same room as the lock.
Notifications have been hit or miss. Might get them within seconds of the door being unlocked, or never. On my overnight trip, my door was manually unlocked twice and never received any notifications. Then, when checking the log it took several hours before it showed up, the screenshot attached. So, wouldn’t rely on this as a security notification device.
This also works with voice devices, like Alexa and Google. However, with my Google Home it did not work completely at first. It would lock and give status, but for unlock it asks for a PIN. The PIN is set through the app, but spoken out loud for the speaker. For example I would set 1234 and when asked to unlock, Google would ask for the PIN, but then return an answer like “123 4th street is 2.3 miles from your current location.” After a day or so, I tried again and it works as intended. Albeit a bit slow at times, it has worked now, hands free.
So, in the end, this isn’t a bad device. Maybe someone with an iPhone will have better success than myself with a Samsung Note 10+. I just don’t like how spotty its smart features have been and due to that the added delay of getting into my house.

Smaller than I remember
on April 23, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
I haven’t had a window unit in quite some time. However, the house I now live in has one room that just can’t maintain temperature due to the equipment in it. Though, still as heavy as I remember them, I was surprised at just how small it was. There is some assembly required, such as screwing on the top mounting rail and attaching the side curtains, but pretty simple.
Shortly after getting it fitted into the window we had it powered on and chilling the room. You can manage with the buttons on the front panel, with the included remote with braille, or with the Comfort GE appliance app. The app guides you through connecting the appliance to your WiFi. Once set you can now check the status of the unit from anywhere, change the settings and monitor its power usage. You can also set routines such as setting on/off times for times per day or enable location assist where it will change state when you leave the area.
I do wish you could have an external thermostat with it, especially since it can connect to WiFi, as there were times that it felt warmer than what the thermostat was reading which meant it took a little longer for the AC to kick on. But, when it does kick on, it is quick to drop the room temp.
One of the advertising points is air direction control, the fins that are used in this to “direct” the air are smaller than the ones in my car vents. It doesn’t really direct the air. However, the fan does push a fair amount of air for circulation though.
Overall, it is working as I expect it to while providing smart features for monitor and control.

Entry level gaming keyboard
on April 17, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This is the budget level keyboard that has many of the features that higher priced gaming keyboards provide. With the SteelSeries Engine software installed you can customize the 10 RGB zones for your illumination desire. The lights are bright, but kind of broad, so you can’t make individual keys light up like the SteelSeries Apex 5 or Apex 7, but can create shifting, steady, breathing or even audio visualizer color patterns. Just a word of advice, I didn’t realize it at first, but you have to select the zones you want to change for them to take effect, then save it to keep it that way.
The keys are soft and quiet and since it uses a rubber membrane it gains water resistance. With the Steelseries Engine software you can also configure each key to be a different key, function or macro. With the Profile key combo you would think you can easily switch between the different configurations you design, but you can’t, not yet at least. You can however use the SteeleSeries icon in the tray tool and select the various configs that you set in the Engine software so that you can have a different color background that coordinates with your programmed key functions that might have macros assigned or such. The macro record and brightness keys work as described though. Just make sure to go in and give the macro a new name in the macro editor as you won’t be able to assign it with the generic name it creates.
The added media button is a simple way to play/pause any media player as well as to quickly adjust the main system volume. The ability to route the cable through three different areas is something I forgot keyboards used to have as most of them now just have a static cable out the back. This is nice for anyone that wants to keep cables neatly to one side of the desk. The magnetic wrist rest appears to be made of the same material as the body of the keyboard. I wouldn’t say it is soft, like I think of a gel wrist rest, but it is helpful to give that added edge.
Overall, if you desire an illuminated gaming keyboard without paying the premium, this is a nice one to have.

Pulled the stains right up
on March 16, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Had a couple spots on carpets in the house that were either from spills or the dog that seemed to never go away. Even tried a small carpet cleaner and the spot remained. However, with this Oxy tough stain remover and 10 minutes, I just dabbed it up with a towel. You can see it working as you are spraying it. Only thing is I wish they used the bottle design like some other cleaners so that you can tilt it and spray.

Very unhappy about not getting the GearVR programs
By Sunshower
I tried many different ways to find out how to download the Gear VR programs by going to Samsung and Oculus online. All unsuccessful!!
June 3, 2016
Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

Need certain phones to use this.
By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.
It is labeled on the box and the site details

It says on the front and back of the box, "Compatible with Note5/S6 edge+/S6/S6 edge" and anywhere you look online it says it as well.

I have problems getting my phone to sync with this

When I put my phone in the unit it doesn't seem it. I keep having to pull it out and try again.

What phone are you using and is it up to date? The Samsung Gear VR is only compatible with Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge and a software update from your carrier is required for S6 edge+ and Note 5.

Track water use with this Phyn smart water assistant. The included mounting screws and adhesive strip offer easy installation, and the compatible app lets you monitor water consumption and alerts you to leaks. This Phyn smart water assistant automatically learns your plumbing system and is compatible with popular virtual assistants so you can access reports and alerts using voice commands.
 

Is this has capability to reduce the water flow after certain time? for example if my kids takes 2hours shower, can I put certain time like 30mins after to reduce the flow to 20% just to rinse themselves and remind them to get out from the shower? Thanks

No, the Phny Smart Water Assistant is a monitoring device only. It has no capability to control the water.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 wireless gaming headset is refreshed for a new generation of consoles, compatible with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S and features easy Xbox Wireless connectivity and immersive Windows Sonic surround sound. New for Stealth 600 Gen 2 is a larger flip-to-mute mic for refined chat clarity that integrates into the headset when muted, plus uniquely re-shaped, breathable ear cushions with ProSpecs technology provide glasses friendly comfort over long gaming sessions. Turtle Beach’s renowned Superhuman Hearing gives players the ultimate audio advantage, driven through precision-tuned 50mm speakers for a deeply immersive, undistorted audio experience.
 

On the black/green headset it says the release date is 9/20/20 but for the white/silver it says 9/20/22. Is that correct?

On the Turtle Beach website it states "This product will be on sale September 20, 2020." for the White/Silver model and appears to be a typo through Best Buy.

Will these work with PS5? What would keep them from working with any PlayStation?

The Xbox version will only work with Xbox consoles or PCs with the Xbox adapter due to the method in which it connects to wireless. It uses the same method as the wireless controllers.

The Logitech Advanced Corded Mouse M500s with hyper-fast scrolling for increased productivity. The scroll wheel lets you fly through long documents and Web pages with a single flick. Or switch to click-to-click mode for precise, line-by-line navigation of lists, slides, images, and menus. Now with 400-4000 adjustable DPI for fast and ultra-precise cursor control.
 

Which software does the M500s use to customize the buttons? Conflicting information shows Logitech SetPoint if you look under their website, but guidance only goes up to windows 8. Package says Logitech Options but this isn’t On the Options device list

It is the Logitech Options software and it automatically detects the M500S.
