With the magic of AI and automation behind the scenes, it~s never been easier to create amazing photos and shareworthy videos.
Posted by: DavidJr
One of the things I liked about Adobe Elements was that it was one of the few pieces of Adobe software that didn’t need to be on a subscription like all their other products. But now, a 3 year license?
Sure, in 3 years you might want to get their new updates anyways, but I don’t like being forced into it. Element’s has been one of those editing software packages that you don’t need to be a professional at to make for some interesting effects on photos or videos. While, at the same time, could be one of those that you download and install again 5 years later so you can do that effect again. But, apparently not any more. Now, you can “rent” it for 3 years and pay more later when you decide to use it again. No, it’s not a subscription, but if you want to use it after 3 years, it might as well be.
One thing I still never understand is why, when I select “Premiere Elements” in my start menu, I still get this loading app which I then have to select Video Editor, same for “Photoshop Elements” and pick again. I would get it if it was just a link to “Adobe Elements” for example, then I pick, but no, I wanted Premiere to do a video, but I have to load this app to then load the app I selected in the first place.
As for features, they have the classic Quick, Guided and Advanced modes. Where you can make simple changes to a photo or video, like add text, trim or combine media. The photoshop guided mode has various edits that guide you along, but don’t really help you learn the system if you wanted to do it on your own in advanced mode. As it puts the buttons in place and pretty much says to follow the steps. It does the effect it shows, but you don’t learn how to possibly do it on your own through the menu, or perfect it. Then, it doesn’t do it all that great and sort of dumps the rest of trying to fix it on you with the ‘Healing Brush’. See example photos below where I tried to remove a person from a stock photo, which it did, but then added another pole and then I tried expanding the scene, which it just did a bunch of clone stamping looking awful.
They have changed things up a little bit, like on the export side of things for videos it used to just show a simple small, medium, large size, now it has more dropdowns for format. Plus, you can export in multiple formats at the same time, like for YouTube or Instagram with different aspects of resolutions on each. However, for some reason, they still can’t handle MKV or H.265 videos. At least the ‘Guided’ section of the video editor is more like a tutorial and shows you where to go in the menu and how to modify the track, after you download them.
Overall, it is still Adobe products for photo and video editing, simplified and limited compared to the professional products. I still can’t get over the 3 year license and that has pretty much ruined it for me, as explained at the start. Considering how many other editing products are out there, sure it might take some more video watching to learn the “fun” edits, but at least you know you can still do it in 3 years with the software you paid for.

Small and big at the same time?
on November 1, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
This air fryer is confusing at first glance. You think you have 2 baskets, but it’s actually one with a divider in the middle. Then, the fact you can set it like you have 2 fryers, but you can also treat it as one. It’s not all that confusing, once you get to know it and make good use of it.
It is kind of like a big and small air fryer in the same shot. With the divider in place, you have two smaller chambers that can cook 2 different items at 2 different temperatures and times for about 2 people. Then, if you take the divider out, you can do one larger food item for about 4 people. Then, when it is all said and done, the EverGood™ ceramic nonstick coating lets you practically just rinse the surface off, no scrubbing needed. Maybe a little soap to help break up any residual grease, but it looks practically untouched.
I felt that it cooked a little faster than my older fryer, but it certainly got the job done. You do need to make sure to rotate the food around in the basket about half way, at least, so that it is more heavenly cooked. It does beep to remind you at the halfway point for both timers. Only thing is, you have to pull the whole tray out when you are doing two products, despite it being the halfway point for the other half or not.
Over all, it is a perfect air fryer for small 2 item meals or when you need a single larger batch. It is all touch screen and updates what is lit up for what you need, like left side, or right side or both when not in dual mode.

The PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro robot vacuum and mop system is designed to capture more, reach farther, and need you less (vs. Shark Matrix 2-in-1). Its five powerful cleaning technologies help to target hidden debris, stuck-on stains, edges and to optimize cleaning for every floor type, handling the toughest cleaning challenges. Whether vacuuming or mopping, the PowerDetect robot does the dirty work, so you don't have to. It deep-cleans and mops your floors, while the NeverTouch Pro base means you don~t have to worry about cleanup or maintenance for weeks at a time. After every cleaning run, the robot will return to the base to empty debris, refill the water tank, and wash and dry the mopping pad so it~s always ready for its next clean~ maintenance-free cleaning for up to a month. With NeverStuck Technology, the robot lifts itself over obstacles and across thresholds to avoid getting stuck. When mopping, it keeps the pad above carpets to prevent wet messes and deliver whole-home coverage. While the robot handles your cleaning chores for you, the bagless base with Anti-Allergen Complete Seal captures and traps 99.97% of dust and allergens (down to .3 microns, allergens refers to non-living matter).
Posted by: DavidJr
So, like most things, results may vary. This robot vacuum claims up to 30 days on refill/empty and 60 days on capacity, but that is completely dependent on the size of the rooms and how much activity is in those areas. If you have like 250 sq feet and only part of it is hard floor and you left the house for 30 days, it would almost certainly be able to keep the dust from accumulating on the floor in that area. But, an active area, with pets, kids and several hundred square feet, you might get 2 weeks out of it.
Now, this isn’t to say that is a bad thing. Compared to the majority of vacuum bots we have had over the past few years, where you have to empty them after every use, or every couple days, this is far better. This is just like every other device that makes the best claims and puts in the fine print, based on XYZ type usage. Even still, this is by far one of the easiest robot vacuum and mop I have ever used. All the dirty work is done by the bot as it empties and cleans itself after doing the task. It even dries the pad to prevent any mold or bacteria build up.
Setup of this bot is pretty simple. Basically put the ramp in place, open and install the odor neutralizer and the side brush under the robot, plug it up, fill up the water reservoir, install the app and off you go. It does an explore round, which at this point you want to make sure you have all the doors opened or closed pending if you want the bot to go in there and some movable objects out of the way so it knows to clean there when the object is not there. Then it maps the place out and even sets them up as specific rooms. Like in my image, the kitchen, hallway and bathroom are all hard floors, but open up to the living room which has carpet, so it shows the living room as a separate room.
When using the de\vice, in the app you can choose the whole mapped area or which rooms to clean or a spot on the map and you can choose to vacuum, mop or both. When you choose both, it will vacuum first and start by doing the edges with the rotating edge brush. Then, it will do the middle of the areas in a nice pattern. It then returns to base, fills up with water and goes out to mop in a similar fashion. The mopping however, is like that of most robot vacuums and is mostly just dragging a wet cloth around the floor. It does not suck up any of the water along the way.
Once it has done its job, it returns to the station, empties it vacuum contents, drops the pad and begins cleaning and drying. The little tune that it plays, I swear is “like a good neighbor”, but surely it isn’t, right?
The cleanup that you have to do every “30 days” or so is simply removing the waste water and dumping it out, refilling the clean water and sliding out the waste bin to empty out. The waste bin is the only thing I find odd as you have to slide it to the right to get it out. So, you can’t have a wall or other item to the right of it unless you want to move the whole thing any time you want to empty it. But, once out, it is simply pushing a button to drop the bottom out of it and possibly pulling some hair. There is more advanced cleaning, like removing the washable filter, cleaning the pad or replacing it as they give a spare, but these are typical things that on a regular bot you would have to do nearly daily while this one can be months later.
Overall, this robot is great for keeping the house cleaned up. I feel like with every new iteration we are getting closer to The Jetson’s or other cartoons from the mid 1900’s. The only next logical step is for them to detect when something hits the floor and cleans it up right away. But, simple, convenient and not something you have to check on every day or even week, while it does part of the chores for you.

Small, discrete, but relies on the slow app
on October 12, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
If anything this dash cam has going for it, it is certainly small and simple for the device. However, pretty much everything to do with it is through the Drive Smarter app, which you can use without the camera to an extent, if you want to get a feel for some of it.
There are only 2 buttons on the camera, one for muting/unmuting the microphone and the other is a multi-function button for saving a clip, changing the mode to “Trip Clips”, a time lapse of a trip, or formatting the SD card. On the bright side, at least it comes with the SD card.
Now, the camera is simple to install and really does have a small footprint. It even comes with extra electrostatic sheets and a main sticky pad if you decide to change positions or cars. It only has a 12v lighter adapter and plenty of cord to hide along the trim. There are other options online, such as a parking monitor wiring kit. But, where the downfall of this system is the total reliance on your smartphone and/or a nearby hotspot.
Any time you want to connect to the device it has to start with Bluetooth or have to already be on a hotspot. Then, if you choose to look for videos it has to use the app to switch over to WiFi, which takes a bit, but if you already have a car hotspot and your phone and the camera are connected to it together, it goes a bit quicker. Then, you can see some snapshot previews of your recordings, but don’t swap apps or take to long, because you will lose connection and suddenly the app acts like you never had a camera. Asking you to add your vehicle, again. Closing the app out fully and then going back in may recognize the camera, but now you have to wait for the whole reconnecting to Wi-Fi, again, if it doesn’t sit there locked out for a good while. Though, a lot of the frustration can be removed if you have a constant vehicle hotspot running. Then it is essentially a network camera. Some other options in the camera settings also don’t seem to ever register, like adding a name to the watermark.
With all that frustration out of the way, the quality of the video image isn’t too bad, but still hard to make out details. Even though it claims 1440p, it looks like it is just an upscaled image as I can see 1080p images from my phone much clearer. It’s still enough to identify vehicles and traffic lights. It picks up audio pretty clear, although most of mine is just the radio.
Overall, if you have a vehicle hotspot that you always run and connect the camera and your phone to, it doesn’t seem all that bad. However, if you have to rely on the camera to supply the WiFi and want to do anything through the app, it is time consuming and can be frustrating. After the wait, grabbing what you need and then moving on is all I could handle. I like the other cameras where I control connecting to the WiFi so I know I have a connection and not waiting on some app to figure it out for me.

Having had a different brand single leg version for recovery from a surgery a while back, this is a surprising upgrade in direct comparison. No cables, no attaching hoses or finding the main unit. This is literally like a heavy pair of pants that will force circulation through your feet and legs. Then on top of that, the level of sound on this small device is hard to believe compared to the amount of pressure you get. With these Jstboots set all the way to 100, you are certainly going to feel it and it is louder letting the air out than the amount of time it is pumping it in. I have used these in bed and on the recliner while watching videos without having to make any adjustments to audio.
As for storage and carrying, they are like a very heavily starched pair of pants with a small brick in the pocket. They are easy enough to fold away and put back into the carrying bag though. The inside is one surface, so it makes it really easy to wipe down if you were sweaty or just need to clean after so many uses. With a full battery charge you can get about 3 hours of use. Pending the time you use it for this could be 3 long sessions or several smaller ones.
I can really feel a difference in my legs after each use. Like it pushed some of the stiffness and pain out, making my legs actually feel somewhat lighter. The only thing I wish this had was a better timer on them. As it is now you can set it in 20 minute intervals and it ticks down from 60/40/20 as you do a long session, but there is no indication of how much time you have left in that last 20 minutes.
Overall, for a complete and fairly compact system, these are really impressive. Simple, wireless, and fairly quiet operation that makes a clear difference after use. It only comes confusing when I tell my friends I have Jetboots and they think I’ve gone space age.

Like many other smart locks that are designed to replace current deadbolts, this one is just as simple to install and begin using. It took longer for the battery to get to full charge than it did to get installed and set up. For most installs, it it as simple as removing 4 screws to remove the old lock, put in the new bolt, the panel on the outside and screw it to the plate on the inside, then attach the cable and main unit on the inside with a few more screws, install the battery and the rest is all setting up through the app. It literally took about 10 minutes provided you were replacing a standard bolt that required no special adjustments.
Once you set up an account with the Tapo app on your mobile device, adding the lock, connecting it to Wi-Fi and setting up your initial fingerprint and PIN is simply following the audio directions. The Tapo app is the same app used for many other TP-Link products, so if you already have some of them, you should be somewhat familiar with the app. The one thing I found odd with the app is how setting a PIN code and setting a user are two separate options and setting a user is only for fingerprints. Personally I see setting a user as having an option of either PIN or fingerprint and would prefer it not be 2 separate functions especially if I want to have either option for 1 additional person. Adding a user also lets you link that person’s TP-Link account so that they may also use the app remotely for additional features.
Once the PINs and fingerprints are set, getting in is quick and simple. The fingerprint scanner is very quick to respond, even at slightly offset angles. The PIN display remains visually hidden till touched and is responsive as well. If those two methods fail, you could always resort to the included physical keys, with the keyhole hidden behind a doorbell button. However, the one drawback on those is they are fairly simple keys and if you are to ever lose one, it’s not so simple to replace just the core of the lock as it is built in the main unit. Even without the keys, if for some reason the battery was to die while you are outside, you could use a USB-C cable from any other powered device and give it enough charge to accept the PIN for entry.
On the note of the battery, this is one thing that is different from all the other locks I have tried. This is a single 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery. It says it could last a year pending usage. However, when it does run low, you have to remove it and charge it for several hours. Something that might not be too bad if you remember to put it on before you go to bed or any other time you have several hours that you don’t need to lock/unlock your door from the outside. This does prevent you from having to stock up on other batteries, but it creates a down time window that could be inconvenient if you forget to set times aside to charge.
Overall, this lock makes for convenient and quick options to get into your house. Simple install and plenty of ways to share and control access to your house without worrying about making multiple copies of keys to potentially be lost. Plus, it has a simple doorbell for when anyone else may visit. It also has added security features like entering numbers before and after your real PIN to make it look longer than normal in case you have guests with you and don’t want it to sound so simple.

Find the perfect settings
on September 19, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
I never really thought about the extra work put into a real cup of espresso, but here I am, making myself feel like a barista. This is like having your own personal coffee shop at home, but you have to learn what it takes to fine tune your cup. This isn’t your typical power on and push a button for a cup. You have to learn the process and get to know the steps before you get it just right. The nice thing is though, once you get it tuned in, this makes an amazing brew.
The setup is fairly simple, it felt like it took more time to remove all the transportation tape and packing material than it did to get the rest of it set up. The directions are not overly complicated once you do it a couple times, however the manual alludes to figures that don’t seem to exist in the manual (See figure 15) as it says, though there is only 1 main figure in the book. However, they do have some videos and that is what really helps. From setup, brewing, to troubleshooting and cleaning. It’s all better shown in the videos than explained in the manual. Even then, it took a couple replays till I really understood it. Also, the small needle like cleaning tool they show in the video was never really explained where it was stored. It’s inside the drain tray, after you pull it out, in the dark recesses of the machine.
On the subject of storing, I wish machines like this had places to store all the extra bits. This would have been the perfect machine if it just had some small storage trays on the side or something. Places to store the other extra filter baskets and cleaning brushes would have been ideal. There is space to store them on top, but that just becomes a loose mess. The other thing I don’t particularly like is the water storage being all the way in the back. It is difficult to see the remaining water level and you have to lift it over everything. It does have a handy bracket in the middle that makes it fairly easy to lift, but it is kind of blind trust the rest of the way.
When trying to find your perfect brew, you can adjust the coarseness of the grind, the amount of the grind and the amount of water pushed through the grind. The only real indication that you are getting the brew right is the pressure gauge on the front. Too few or coarse grounds and the pressure will be too low, the water passes through too quickly and not a very tasty brew. If you have too many grounds or too fine of a grind, the brew may take too long and not push enough water through. It took several wasted cups for us to get the preferred pressure and now it works perfectly for our particular brew every time, till we want to try something different. But, now that we know what makes the difference, it is easy to adjust. For example, adding more grounds can be with the -/+ knob or with a little manual push on the grinder. There are other adjustments you can make, such as temperature and water amounts, but that takes some extra steps with pushing and holding specific buttons and not something you change often.
Once you have the coffee down pat, making the perfect froth is actually really easy. The steam on this one is much better than on an older model I have and the milk jug with the temperature gauge ensures I am getting up to the right temperature at the same time. This has been some of the creamiest froth I have had on a home made coffee.
Overall, I really do enjoy this espresso machine. It’s one of those things that you really have to take some time with though. It’s not your typical pop a cup in and push a button type device. This is about as close as you get to professional brewing without getting into the commercial devices. I’m dropping 1 star for the missing details in the manual and for not having proper places to contain all the included parts, but other than that it is a great machine.

Easy access with Wi-Fi
on September 15, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
This is my second Rexing dash cam and one thing that is nice about them is that you can connect to them directly via Wi-Fi to get the video or images on the spot, without needing to use an additional micro-SD card reader. However, other than that it is like every other dash cam.
This set is at least complete. You don’t need to buy an SD card, you don’t need to get a wiring kit, it’s all included. Directions for setting up the device are fairly straight forward, but there are some inconsistencies that make things a little confusing. Like the positioning of the electrostatic sticker looks like it should be on one side of the mirror and the camera on the other. Makes no sense why it would even be there if that was the case. Then, when you get to the parking monitor wiring kit, you have to watch a video as the written details are not detailed at all. They don’t even explain what to do with the fuses that you pull out. You are supposed to put them into the plug for the kit right beside the fuse that is already on there. The directions say yellow wire and red wire, but you have to make sure you do some tracing, as they both end in red. Then the wiring covers that protect the exposed bits are so loose that they easily come off and could lead to shorting out and causing further damage. Don’t go into using the wiring kit unless you have some experience with wiring and do a little extra to secure the wires to prevent future damage.
Having the wiring kit installed is nice as my cigarette lighter apparently stays on 24/7. So, there was potential to run my battery dead if I forgot to unplug it. So, now it comes on with the ignition and will still record with impacts when off. However, even with the sensor as low as it goes, it has to be a pretty hard impact to trigger it. With personal testing, the only way it would trigger it was if I knocked on the windshield. Bumping the car, even opening and slamming the door would not trigger the sensor. There is an additional “intelligent kit” that you could get that detects motion, so any motion in front of the vehicle, regardless of impact or not, would be detected. But, that is not included.
As for the recording, the quality is not bad, it is 4K in size, but still looks low resolution. It looks like it is 720 stretched into 4K.Especially if you are trying to make out any details. You aren’t going to make out license plates, especially if you are moving. But, it is plenty clear to see specific incidents like who had the traffic light and such. The rear camera is 1080, but again, looks lower res, but enough to make out the situation. One thing I still do not like from my old camera, is that there's no option to flip the camera. You can rotate the camera manually but it is locked in position so the wire is poorly placed for my sliding window in my truck.
The Rexing Connect app is one way to review the videos. You can use the device directly, but the tiny screen is really hard to see details on, or you can pull the SD card to put into a device that can read it, such as a computer or cell phone. When you enable the Wi-Fi on the main device you can choose 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz so you can choose the faster signal. You can see the video live or stop the recording and review previously recorded videos. The app is simple, but too simple as it is kind of hard to find exactly the video you may be looking for. Videos are placed in 3 different tabs, with regular looping, emergency and parking. So, if the video was locked then you have to find it in the emergency tab. You can download the video and it has an option to trim it as well, but it has failed every single time I have attempted it. You are just going to have to take the full 1 min video (or however long you have it set for) and edit some other way. Even with my old Rexing camera, the app is still the same clunky mess. Then, the odd thing is, you can delete the loop and the parking videos, but there is no option to delete the emergency videos. So, if you have the gravity sense too low, you could fill up and lock your card for any future recording unless you delete them manually. Another thing with the app, is it has a dark mode to it, but it makes the settings menu near impossible to read.
The functions of the device are simple, but you pretty much have to have the buttons memorized as the icons are molded into the button and near impossible to make out without some light directly shining on it. After using it for a bit though, it’s simple enough to get through the very basic menus to change settings.
Overall, this is a complete set for a dash cam. You can see clearly enough for front and rear or wherever you set the second camera. There is even an option for additional cameras or accessories. I feel directions could be a little more precise and the app still needs work after all these years. But, to have the ability to have recorded evidence of an incident, and be able to access it on the spot is worth it.

All in one solution for hard floors
on August 25, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
I’ve used a couple different vacuums and power mops and this one has surpassed all of them in my expectations. No need for multiple steps in cleaning, just put some water and in this thing and off you go.
At first, I was a little perplexed on how much it pulls, I’ve never had a vacuum that felt like it was trying to pull itself away from me and sort of gave a bit of a workout pulling it back. However, that made me realize just how much that brush was on the ground. Unlike other vacuums where it might have wheels making the brush hover slightly above the surface, this one is all brush on the front.. Nothing really keeping it up off the ground. This means it is scrubbing it like you would a mop. It takes a little getting used to, but this also gets it right up to the wall, even getting the edge molding if you get right up on it.
The clean water reservoir on this thing is kind of small, but then while using it I realized it doesn’t use a whole lot of water unless you really get some dirty spots. In its auto mode, the ring on the display is blue till it detects some heavy dirt. Then it increases power and the only time I had it in red was in the test image I did below throwing milk, mustard and ketchup on the floor. In that test, it only took one pass and the majority of the puddle was up, but it took several more, as expected, to ensure it was truly clean and the display took things back to blue.
I recently had to do some work on my stove, so I had to pull it from the wall and was so in the moment I forgot to take pictures. But, if you are like me, you probably don’t move major appliances often. Needless to say, it was quite the mess back there. I picked up some large bits, but the rest I just ran this floor washer over and it picked up everything and practically restored the floor to new. It also gets right up to the edge, so it easily cleaned the full space.
Once you are done, you put it back on the charger and press the wash button. Now it takes several minutes, but it cleans and heated drys the brush. Probably one of the most annoying parts of one of the other wet vacuums is having to take the brush off and clean it. Sure, you will have to do more cleaning later as there are still places that can cause some build up, but for daily use this becomes like once a week manual cleaning. Just be sure to empty and clean out the dirty water tank as that is where odors will build quickly. The voice prompts even remind you to do it after placing it on the charger and after self cleaning.
While cleaning, it does leave a very thin layer of moisture behind, but nothing more than a typical damp mop. I have had other vacuums that leave little streaks of water behind. This one is very consistent in keeping it clean. From food crumbs to muddy footprints, this thing managed to get them all up, making the whole floor look fresh.
This does have a phone app and Wi-Fi connection, but it really does not provide a whole lot to the use of this device. It does help you keep track of how much you have used it and shows a % of its use based on settings. There are some other options but mostly things you can set on the device directly as well.
Overall, this Tineco Floor Washer has easily replaced my routine of vacuuming and mopping the hard floors in my house. It is simple to use and easy to maintain. It is great for just touching up and cleaning major spills. It is consistent in the clean and can get right up on the edges.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Discreet and simple, but….
on August 13, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
These are an all in one premium package. Not only do you get the hearing aids and charging case, you get months worth of various replacement rubber domes, a cleaning kit, replacement filters and years worth of “professional virtual hearing care from our Audiology Team”. These hearing aids are pretty discreet, with a small main unit and tiny earbud with a near invisible wire. They last well over a day on a charge, the case can provide additional charges without needing to be plugged up for a couple charges and they have multiple levels of customization to them.
However, IF you want to take advantage of the app or their Bluetooth features, you must have a newer cell phone. An iPhone on iOS 14 or newer or an Android phone on version 12, but preferably 13 or newer. On Android 12 it technically can work, but there is a known issue and you could have constant pairing issues like I did. Now, with the issues they do have custom service, but the quick service will just point you to their website with common answers. If you need further service it may take a couple days for their response. Even after going through their steps on the site I still had issues and once I finally received a call, it were a very specific order to get it to work and most times after that, it was only connecting to one ear and required going through the steps again to work. Again, they say this is a known issue with Android 12 and recommend being on a newer device that uses 13.
Despite that technical issue, you can still use the hearing aids without the app. You simply put them in and rest the unit behind the ear. It gives a few seconds before cutting on, but that helps reduce the common issue of screeching when putting them on. However, that timer is pretty quick, although, despite most of the time I was still putting them in, I never had an issue with screeching.
Once you have them on, you may have to try a couple different rubber domes till you find the one that fits you best. I really did like that they come with multiple options and sizes. Once they are in, simply pressing the button on the right ear turns up the volume, pushing it on the left ear reduces volume. If you hold the button for a couple seconds it will cycle to one of the four listening programs of All-Around, Restaurant, Music and Outdoor. Each has a slight variation in the tones they pick up, like restaurant focuses more on mid tone voices and outdoor helps reduce wind noise. If you want even more customization, you have to do it through the app. There you can change the noise filter and customize the bass, middle and treble to your liking.
For the most part they absolutely helped improve the sound around me. I was hearing things I didn’t even realize were making a noise. However, the sound always had a strange effect to it, like you were listening through a tube. You know, like taking the tube from a roll of paper towels and holding it up to your ear. At first I figured it was the earbud not sitting right in my ear, so I tried different domes, which I did find one that made the sound better for me, but I could hear that effect even more. Through the app you can request for assistance from the “Care Team”, in which you can schedule an appointment. However, it is practically like scheduling a real Doctor’s appointment and it will be about 2 weeks out. Then, they aren’t going to contact you, it is up to you to connect to a Zoom call through your PC or phone.
Compared to another set of hearing aids I have used, I felt that these were also missing a bit of an extension on that actual ear piece. I felt like I couldn’t get them far enough in my ear as the only thing I had left to try to push on was the flexible wire. Getting them out is easy enough because you just pull the wire. However, I always felt like they were just barely in my ear canal. If they do fit in good enough for you, but they feel like they come out to easy, it does come with some small “sports locks” that are like plastic flexible toothpick size pieces that you can clamp to the earbud and flex inside the ear, adding a little bit of tension so they don’t call out so easily. Like the hearing aids in general, they take some getting used to having something in your ear.
Overall, these hearing aids work and they come with an entire package to help you maintain them along with the added service that might be available all the time, but not readily available for more than an automated response till later. I haven’t been to a doctor to see how much something like this might run on insurance, but I feel like at this price point, you might be somewhat better off going through your insurance for local support. If you don’t qualify for something like that, then these might be the next best thing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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!!

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.

1 out of 5Need 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.

Upgrade your entertainment setup with this stunning 55-inch Samsung QLED smart TV. Enjoy enhanced color and 2160p-resolution playback thanks to the television~s 4K UHD display, which adds realism and vibrance to movies. Stream content wirelessly on demand and connect additional home theater components via the Samsung QLED smart TV~s four HDMI inputs.
Whats the input lag on these new Qleds? are they good for gaming on like a ps4 pro?
A professional ratings site puts the input lag around 24ms in gaming mode, 79ms out of gaming mode. Gaming mode turns of several processing features but playing games in 4K HDR looks great and responsive.
