For a long time, I was on the fence about moving off to a hardware wallet. But over the last several years I’ve been adopting better credential hygiene that has made the change absolutely simple. Gone are the days I’ll be using a big name broker to store my crypto anymore. In the box, Ledger includes generic instructions pointing you to the Ledger website, a booklet holding 3 sheets for storing your seed on, more instructions with the same information as the first sheet but translated to about 10 different languages, a care guide, stickers, a keychain strap, a short USB cable, and the Nano S Plus. If I’m being honest, the fob itself feels rather thin. Plugging it into the included USB to connect it to the Ledger Live app was also unpleasant as it wouldn’t seat. I had to really push on them to get them to connect and power up. The first time I disconnected them was about the same as well, which caused me to drop the Nano.

Setup
Setting up was simpler than I thought. Although I will add that the language used on the Ledger site didn’t make it clear that I needed to download the Ledger app to my computer. It made it seem like installing the smartphone app was all you needed with the Nano S.
After grabbing the Ledger app you’re asked to plug in the Nano. Then you’ll go through a series of prompts to setup a pin for the Nano using the 2 buttons on the edge of the body followed by recording the seed phrase, a 24 word recovery key. Once complete you’ll be ready to install your first dApp and begin receiving your crypto from other addresses. With the added companion app for your smartwatch you can have all your assets at a flip of the wrist.

Conclusion
Despite the stiff plugs, the pros for the Nano outweigh any negatives. It offers superb security and a great convenience. Just be sure to move your seed to something more sturdy or make multiple copies and safeguard them. Take back control over your assets and reclaim your keys with the Nano.

Overall
This has been a pretty amazing product. It’s simple to setup and requires little to no maintenance from the end user. It’s a good, and “cheaper”, WiFi system than all of its name brand competitors. A good system for the less tech savvy-parents, grandparents or anyone looking for something with a less hands on approach.
But first, for the sake of clarification, as I despise making any mention of competitor products or brands, I feel it is necessary in this case to further elaborate on some of its shortcomings I’ll mention further down. I have an existing 3 puck ubiquity WiFi system mounted to walls, ceilings or outside of the house making it time consuming to remove/disconnect. This makes for an environment that isn’t ideal for another WiFi system to be tested in.
With that out of the way lets dive right in.

Features
Motorola offers some solid features with their mesh WiFi. For starters, you get a neat and simple to understand dashboard that allows for several admin settings right from the dashboard. First, there’s an active list of currently connected devices. Clicking a device shows a recent history of services that device has connected to. You have security settings, which to be fair doesn’t give you much in terms of customization, just a green bar showing the numbers of threats it is looking out for. If a threat is found; Trojans, virus, etc. The green circle shifts to red which is clearly visible from the dashboard. A simple network filter with 3 toggles for filtering of known malicious sites, ad privacy filters, and an adult filter for adult oriented websites. For health of the network, there’s a simple to read connection manager showing the current status of the network. 6 individual check mark bubbles highlighting games, web, music, HD, SD, and 4K. I can only assume, as I haven’t experienced issues, that if you had a significant speed drop some of those bubbles will become red with an X.
Digging further deeper into the app you got your profiles settings, which I will add isn’t a part of the dashboard but a tab at the bottom of the screen. Setting up profiles gives you the ability to set time limits, schedules, or the aforementioned content filters (if you didn’t wish to apply those to the entire network but specific profiles).
A little more hidden under the settings tab, usually settings that the average user won’t ever have to mess with. You got your port forwarding and upnp. But a little less common, and mostly exclusive to mesh systems, you got your auto optimization network settings that allows the toggle of a general location where this will be installed. The options range from “single occupant home” with a subtext that reads “few neighboring networks”, “Townhome” with “some WiFi networks”, and “apartment” with “many WiFi networks”. Basically these should tweek things such as channel width, beamforming, and transmit power but in a simple human readable format. Without having to look up the definition for every setting and having to trial and error every possible combination to find something that works for you. Although I couldn’t find any documentation about this so my assumption can be off by a bit.

Cons - Features
I don’t normally break these down per section but for this it seems more appropriate to detail any issues relating to the subject.
It may be a fluke but during my testing I couldn’t get the network filters to function correctly. After enabling all toggles, I attempted to visit an adult page and nothing prevented my visit. Adding my phone into a profile, I enabled the toggles for that profile and tried again. Once again, nothing prevented my visit. It’s worth mentioning, during setup, I used a network switch at the top of my network topology. But shortly after getting things working it failed resulting in only 1 port having connection access. I then had to daisy-chain it to my existing network, which put a pfsense gateway at the top. It’s entirely possible my existing setup is applying a filter on the stream. Going to a certain adult orientated website showed nothing in the history logs of the Motorola. But just like my history screenshot, other sites show up just fine.

Design
It’s a simple design, round and fairly small, roughly the size of a hand but about 2 inches tall. 2 Ethernet jacks on the back of each puck, which act as WAN and LAN. Any of the bridge pucks will result in 2 LAN jacks so you won’t lose any because of the picture at the base of the port. A type C USB port between the 2 and a pinhole reset button to the left. It’s simple and has a subtle design that won’t stick out like a sore thumb if you cannot hide it out of sight.

Performance
I can’t say this area was perfect but it did well enough. Using the onboard speed test on the puck it said I was getting what the pipeline was set for. Give or take 50mbps per test. Testing from my phone through any network speed testing site gave about the same result. Any browsing or streams I tried to run through it worked perfectly well.
After finalizing my thoughts, I did a survey and something seemed to be a general consensus between everyone else. These faced a slight performance drop. Nothing I can say I witnessed, but aside from my current WiFi system, I have nothing else to test against.

Cons - Performance
Although I mentioned it worked well enough for me, one thing that soured me was a significant range issue. As mentioned at the very start, I couldn’t test 1 system at a time by shutting it off and testing so I placed the Motorola pucks in different rooms trying to separate them from my current WiFi. That resulted in a fairly short range. The packaging rates these as good for up to a 4500 sqft area. But in a 1800 sqft location, these had significant range issues. One of the most noticeable locations I did a comparison was the backyard, where I do not have any exterior mounted WiFi devices. This was a more fair area to test both systems having interface from each other. Several feet from the back door resulted in multiple dropped connections while other times I had a false connection. WiFi showing connected but either abysmal or a non-existent internet connection.
Other Considerations
I didn’t realize this in the beginning, mainly because I just clicked agree to everything as I setup. But for those who are concerned about privacy, MINIM isn’t exactly a part of Motorola. MINIM is the software company that provides the app and from my research isn’t part of Motorola. My initial thoughts were that this was a software subsidiary of it but it doesn’t appear that way. After skimming through it, I can’t say with certainty if this data is shared between both entities.

Conclusion
This is a great system nonetheless. It makes everything simple for the end user and provides a good connection. And when compared to other mesh systems, this one comes out as a, financially, cheaper option from the big names. Just be aware of the data that's collected.

Cube GPS Tracker can be placed discretely in your vehicle so you can track where it goes, how long it spends there, and at what speed it travels. Cube gathers data via GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cell tower triangulation then reports the data back via the LTE-M data plan. Plans start at $16.50/Month.; Ideal for theft recovery, fleet tracking or just keeping an eye on your valuables. Cube GPS can be hardwired into vehicles using optional OBD II plug or wired directly to the battery with the hardwire kit.; Thieves today know exactly where to go to disable the factory GPS on newer cars. Cube GPS can be a backup plan to help with recovery. Even if the thief removes the cables from the battery the Cube will still report using its own battery for up to two weeks.

Overall
I’ll be honest, at sub $30 I didn’t have very high expectations. Multipurpose marketing also didn’t help me in arriving to that conclusion. I had that lingering thought of “what sets cube apart from XX brand or the many other ‘thing tracking’ devices flooding the market”. But I’m glad I was wrong. It’s closer to the area of the car dongles cell cariers sell you. During un-boxing, pulling it out of the box didn’t feel very special, its just a simple cardboard with a window film on the front. A foam with a cutout the size of the tracker, usb charger bundled next to it, 2 document sheets (warranty/manual) nestled at the bottom and a vinyl cube sticker. I’m completely at a loss for what to do with the sticker, why would I want to alert a would-be-thief to the device used or that it is being tracked. I’ll most likely end up slapping onto my desktop.
Features
This little thing is packed with some neat features, actually too many for my tastes. To be clear, nothing I’d refer to is a bad feature but more of a special use-case or targeted for a specific type of user. Th feature in question is referred to as “Virtual Fence” in the cube app. It creates a fence around an area of choice on a map that alerts the user on arrival/departure of the “thing” being tracked. That seems like it could be useful for someone with more than 1 tracker. Possibly to know when a family member arrives to their home safely. I tried it with my tracker and it did notify me that my car left the area but unless its been stolen, no other instance other than my leaving the property would trigger it. It just felt a little redundant. The rest of the features are without a doubt for everyone and anyone. They range from reporting frequency which results in battery consumption, alerts on disconnect/connect from phone/tracker, an SOS button function; where you define 1, 2, or 3 clicks of the button on the back of the tracker to send an automatic message to friends/family, and a Safe Place setting that uses the Wi-Fi networks your phone joins to determine if it goes into battery saving mode. The last thing to note, although this is less of a software feature and more of a hardware.
Cons
I can’t really list much here but there’s 2 things that bother me a bit with this.
1st, there seems to be a lack of information on the network the cube uses. If it’s a single cell carrier then this will likely have bad spots where it won’t report anything. But if it piggybacks on the big 3 carriers in the US, this could be a very viable option for large fleets over expensive systems that use satellite services. But neither of a quick browse of the product detail page nor digging a little deeper into the agreements could I find those details within a reasonable time span. It’s possible I may have overlooked the information but not knowing this at the time of writhing bothers me.
2nd,, based on my limited initial usage, you’ll likely have to update to a powered option. Either the OBD 2 power or hardwired kit. Somewhere in the documentation I read it can last roughly 1 year on a charge, but 4 days in with little usage and I’m at 96% battery left. It doesn’t take sophisticated math to realize its using 1% per day at the current rate which would mean it would deplete in 100 days, 1/3rd of a year. Its using 2 minute intervals and should be in battery saver mode when parked and I’m connected to Wi-Fi. I cold possibly extend that time frame a short amount more by changing it to 5 min intervals instead. Just seems a little less reliable.
Unfortunately, my overall testing has been within the city. I’d certainly like to know how well this does if I take it into rural mountainous areas. This ties back into the first point as, as far as the documentation goes, it uses cellular signals to report it’s location and nothing I’ve seen makes me believe it can use Bluetooth from another nearby device other than your own to leverage a larger network, like some of the other devices that track “things”.
Conclusion
Despite my negative viewpoints with it I’m still optimistic about owning the cube and will sub to it when my trial ends. Within city testing, which is typically where my car stays, this works phenomenally. As long as you live in an area with good cell coverage or a fair population, you will be well off with the tracker as well.

Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels are composed of 7 panels that can be assorted into various shapes. It can be controlled using your favorite voice assistants such as Alexa and Google Assistant as well as the Govee Home App. You can even customize your design, effects, colors, and more.
Posted by: DJSmooth
I’m no stranger to Govee products in the slightest. It’s a phenomenal brand at a budget range, at least in comparison to the names everyone already knows that are usually referred to as the premium labels of the space. From the Dreamview light bars, the RGBIC led strips, and the Dreamview TV LEDs with external camera. They offer a wide range of color depths. The customer service is even top notch! I’ve had the unfortunate experience of having a component fail, but customer service was very reasonable and accommodating. Moving on to the panels however, these have offered the same level of color depth as everything I’ve had before. To add to everything, these panels came with some minor extras such as the optional power cables that included the controller and mic or a single, roughly 5’, cable w/out the controller; in case you only plan to control it from your phone. They also include a small tiny level and an extra connecting wire; a very thin almost cardboard feeling wire that can possibly be easily torn if not careful. Several things I don’t believe need to come with the package but get bundled in the box with everything else.
Just like most if not all of their other light products, these come with a plethora of presets. But I feel I should clarify, depending on the product you’ll have a range of options depending on your devices capability.
My only complaint with Govee in general, although I should probably blame this on the app and not so much the products. There isn’t a method to set a schedule to turn on/off your lights at sunrise/sunset. You can specify an exact time you wish but sunrise doesn’t stick to 6am throughout the entire year in California.

With the Razer Huntsman Mini Analog, the highest level of control now competes on a different scale. Meet our first 60% gaming keyboard with Razer Analog Optical Switches—a compact, portable weapon that offers the finest degree of execution.

Overall
As the title says, I’ve never once owned a Razer product. Not because I think there’s anything wrong with them but because I’m too deeply invested into other ecosystems to justify adding another piece of software to manage their RGB or other embedded functionality. In the box, you got your keyboard, product manual, stickers, and a nice braided USB Type-A to USB Type-C of about 5ft. To be honest, I feel like it is at least 1ft short, but I can make it work. In any case, this keyboard is very nice, both for gaming and as a daily driver. It leaves you with only the essential keys while getting rid of the rest of the useless real estate that occupies a lot of your desk. There may be a very small subset of games that I can think of that utilize the directional keys or keypad. A larger portion would have you map those keys if you really wanted them. But lets face it, not many use the keypad to game. Thinking about that setup makes me wonder how much space would I need to maneuver the mouse while also having access to the keypad and directional keys. I may be a bit off base but to memory, the only types that utilize these keys fall into MMO, and RTS types. The dual kickstand thing is a nice add-on as most mainstream keyboards seem to only have a single leg. So this setup gives you a little more flexibility. More than anything else on the keyboard, I love that triggering the function key brings up lights across all your keys that have a secondary key function. I can’t recall seeing this in any keyboard I’ve owned before. To unlock full functionality of all of the keyboards features you need the synapse software. But as I unpacked it to setup with my computer I wasn’t spammed with the needed software. There’s a small message on the back of the box but that's really small that you’ll likely glance over it and not really notice it. There’s a second message about it on the second page of the manual, but the diagrams and other messages on there are much more predominant that I never really noticed it. I already had it in my head that I’ll end up downloading something from the Razer website to use it to its full potential. Much to my surprise, as soon as I plugged it into my USB port I got a Razer software prompt asking if I would like to download synapse. This was something new as I normally have to hunt for software when I plug in a peripheral. Drivers will install automatically, but companion software isn’t a thing. This is so simple yet very impressive to see this.
Synapse unlocks a myriad of features from assigning macro keys, customizing the RGB experience past the default presets, and adjusting sensitivity, for lack of a better word, how much you need to press on a key to actuate a keystroke. The keyboards build quality is impressive. The brushed aluminum base has a solid and premium feel.
If I had to complain about anything it’d have to be the clicking on this particular keyboard. I do love mechanical keyboards so I’m not against clicking keys, but I can’t say I’m 100% a fan of the 80s sounding OEM keyboard sound this one produces. I won’t name manufacturers but this type of sound usually came from the old dinosaur, practically indestructible, cream colored keyboards from the late 80s early 90s.

Not because I think there’s anything wrong with them but because I’m too deeply invested into other ecosystems to justify adding another piece of software to manage their RGB or other embedded functionality. In the box, you got your keyboard, product manual, stickers, and a nice braided USB Type-A to USB Type-C of about 5ft. To be honest, I feel like it is at least 1ft short, but I can make it work. In any case, this keyboard is very nice, both for gaming and as a daily driver. It leaves you with only the essential keys while getting rid of the rest of the useless real estate that occupies a lot of your desk. There may be a very small subset of games that I can think of that utilize the directional keys or keypad. A larger portion would have you map those keys if you really wanted them. But lets face it, not many use the keypad to game. Thinking about that setup makes me wonder how much space would I need to maneuver the mouse while also having access to the keypad and directional keys. I may be a bit off base but to memory, the only types that utilize these keys fall into MMO, and RTS types. The dual kickstand thing is a nice add-on as most mainstream keyboards seem to only have a single leg. So this setup gives you a little more flexibility. More than anything else on the keyboard, I love that triggering the function key brings up lights across all your keys that have a secondary key function. I can’t recall seeing this in any keyboard I’ve owned before. To unlock full functionality of all of the keyboards features you need the synapse software. But as I unpacked it to setup with my computer I wasn’t spammed with the needed software. There’s a small message on the back of the box but that's really small that you’ll likely glance over it and not really notice it. There’s a second message about it on the second page of the manual, but the diagrams and other messages on there are much more predominant that I never really noticed it. I already had it in my head that I’ll end up downloading something from the Razer website to use it to its full potential. Much to my surprise, as soon as I plugged it into my USB port I got a Razer software prompt asking if I would like to download synapse. This was something new as I normally have to hunt for software when I plug in a peripheral. Drivers will install automatically, but companion software isn’t a thing. This is so simple yet very impressive to see this.
Synapse unlocks a myriad of features from assigning macro keys, customizing the RGB experience past the default presets, and adjusting sensitivity, for lack of a better word, how much you need to press on a key to actuate a keystroke. The keyboards build quality is impressive. The brushed aluminum base has a solid and premium feel.
If I had to complain about anything it’d have to be the clicking on this particular keyboard. I do love mechanical keyboards so I’m not against clicking keys, but I can’t say I’m 100% a fan of the 80s sounding OEM keyboard sound this one produces. I won’t name manufacturers but this type of sound usually came from the old dinosaur, practically indestructible, cream colored keyboards from the late 80s early 90s.
Regardless how I look at it, Razer has made an amazing product if you’re looking for a 60% form factor. This is a 5 star product loaded with lots of features.

I want to love them, they’re nostalgic from a time when I owned a pair of Skullcandy headphones. They weren’t the best in the world but they were nice enough and very reasonably priced that losing them outdoors or damaging them wasn’t a thought. At the time these became an option, I noticed their MSRP at $79.99, which seems a bit steep for what you actually get. But at the time of writing I witnessed $64.xx which makes for a more reasonable range.
So before you ask yourself why I’m just pointing out its price. Here’s a few of the witnessed flaws. My phone pairs with it just fine, it has no issues at all. Doing anything with them like hopping on a treadmill or anything outdoors while my phones in my pocket also leads to no issues. But after several minutes the Skullcandy app always disconnects with the earbuds shouting that they did. If you don’t open the app the message repeats itself “disconnected”, “connected”, “disconnected” etc. To be honest, I haven’t been able to tolerate it and leave alone to see how long does this keep up. Paired with my PC, if I’m in front of the desk I have no issues. But if I roll the seat away and sit about 5 ft from the desktop, I get breaking and a weird underwater-like sound. Normally, being too far from the other device you’re connecting Bluetooth with produces cracking sounds or static, so the underwater effect is beyond any ideas I can produce. The gel inserts are also pretty generic. Almost every brand I’ve used has had a memory gel like material that's soft to the touch. Skullcandy has a quishy gel that has a rough exterior, similar to the rough texture you get from the rubber padding under surround speakers or most electronics. But possibly the strangest flaw, putting the buds back in the case when you’ve just finished using them doesn’t always seem to disconnect. There’s been several occasions when I pull them out and back in the case only to realize later on that my phone is still connected to something. After looking at the Bluetooth settings I find that it is the Grind earbuds. It’s really odd as I’ve never seen that happen with any other earbud before, once in the case the connection ends. The very last bit to add, the case itself feels very cheaply made. 1 drop from elbow height and the top breaks off. The material also feels very thin.
On the positive side of things, they have a very long battery life. Skullcandy states 31 hours for the case and an additional 8 hours in the earbud. I’ve definitely exceeded 24 hours of use and they still have a full charge in the earbud and around 25% in the case. This is also the same charge that came in the product as I have not needed to charge it once. I will say that my use case is a lot more modest than most users however. I’ll use 1 bud at a time and stay around 25% volume. The only exception to that is when pairing with a TV or desktop to watch something on a larger screen. Sound quality is pretty good, it won’t blow you away but I’ve heard worse. On a scale of 1-10 this sits at about 6 with TV, 7 in music. Lastly, making them water resistant makes them a good companion to take to exercise. The addition of adding a method to track them across Tile adds to that. But I can’t get behind the lack of it’s awareness on the packaging. They include a tiny logo on the front of the box and the feature in small text on the back. Yet, most products that include another companies technology usually display their logos more prominently on their packaging. I’d probably miss that if I was shopping in the store for a pair of earbuds, then possibly notice it as I were un-packaging the product. Although to be honest, I never noticed Tiles compatibility until I saw something mentioned in the app.

It’s a fun ride-Probably good for a short commute

This is a sleek little scooter. Matte black with blue accents and matching black moldings/accessories. I was pretty impressed while unboxing it and even more so when finally taking it out for a ride.
In the box you got your typical manual, an air pump, charger, battery, allen wrench/screws/keys, and scooter. Once out, the only real assembly required is attaching the handlebars to the steering column and securing them to the scooter. The provided allen wrench was a hassle to work with however. Grab some real tools to fix that on.
After charging for a few hours riding the scooter is surprisingly comfortable for a full size adult, 5’9” 200lbs in this case. The standing platform is sufficiently wide enough and the handlebars sit in a good position.

There’s only 2 things I’d like to point out that bother me or gave me issues. The first, after taking out the unit and attempting to assemble the handlebars, I couldn’t help but notice that the cable that connects the handle bar with the base of the scooter appeared severed. There’s a jagged like plastic along the end which makes me think of electrical tape but has a rough edge that makes me believe it’s supposed to be connected. Slotting the plug into the other end works perfectly fine but gives me a sense that the materials that went into this might be of an inferior quality. The second, there is little to no instructions on maintenance, or the proper procedures to repair a flat or changing the disc or lights. I don’t anticipate any of this be hugely different from a typical bike, but the lack of it makes me correlate this with the sale of your typical smartphone or game console as they do not include such information regarding repair.

Excellent product-A guest and general user device
on January 21, 2022
Posted by: DJSmooth
from Inland Empire, CA
Awesome product, I was honestly a bit skeptical at first, at least in it’s claims to support all the products it claims to support. My past experience tells me that these types of products have a catch of some sort, “it works with Android but has limited functionality with iOS” or something very similar.
It doubles as a nice guest device as it creates a bridge between somebodies device and your internet, so no need to share your WiFi password with guests. Just pair to the network the dongle creates and enter the password on the TV screen.
My only real concern I haven’t been able to settle is security. This thing basically acts as a gateway into your network. Any vulnerability present in this device would create a a tunnel to the other devices in your network. Unfortunately I haven’t owned the product long enough to test all aspects of it.
CONS
There aren’t any real issues with the product itself. Mirror or cast a video through it works as intended.
The only more annoying issue I’ve come to find is the inability of changing the SSID or password. I mean, I can change it in the web UI dashboard of the product but even after it asking to reboot, the same old default SSID/password remain. There is even the little message to reboot to apply the changes but another reboot does not yield the expected result.

Novice user but love it-Seems to work well.

Posted by: DJSmooth
from Inland Empire, CA
Overall
I’m far from a professional when it comes to maters of radar or lidar, so upon getting this I had to do an extensive amount of research to learn about it. That said the biggest points relating to this is that the 3 primary bands in the US are X, K, and Ka. This detector seems to handle all 3 just fine.
X is an older technology which is mostly used in rural areas, or areas where department budgets have prevented equipment upgrades.
K is the most common of the 3 which is not only used in law enforcement equipment but also found in more common commercial/consumer sources making the band less desirable.
Ka is the newest technology being used to replace the 2 aforementioned bands.
There are an additional number of bands or sub bands that operate in or within the same range as the previously mentioned, but getting into the technicalities of everything would turn this review into a research paper. I will add that this unit featured a Ku band, but from my understanding this isn’t something that's used in the United States.
Turning off a specific band is also a possibility. But there is actually a huge number of settings to go through. Which is my only complaint. Settings are buried under menus of more settings, going through them to find something is a chore and a good way to burn daylight. So don’t expect to have this configured to your area 10 minutes before heading off for work. You’ll easily spend 30 minutes going thorough the menus and adjusting the things you know. If you’re like me, going in blind, be prepared to devote 1+ hour. Navigating the menus then researching the settings will together take most of your time. Then once you’ve figured what everything does you’ll spend more time running trial and errors in your area with your normal commutes. There is no easy mode “one size fits all” setting with this thing. So just be aware of that fact.

Works as expected-Customer support could do better
on December 16, 2021
Posted by: DJSmooth
from Inland Empire, CA
Overall
Works as expected, actually arrived right on time to see how it did in colder California weather. Sure it doesn’t compare to the cold temps for someone living in Wyoming or Idaho, but it did surprisingly well in sub 35°F and moderate to heavy rainfall. Timing on the camera and sensors are spot on as well. I’ve had a few surveillance cameras that had a delay and those motion activated alerts would usually be pointless. Resolution is perfect here too. I suspect if you placed one along the edge of a property line you should be able to get vehicle license plates.
After charging the battery overnight as the manual calls for something like 12 hours prior to use, I set it up on a tree along the property line, roughly 5 feet from the property. And while I do not have it explicitly setup to test if I could get license plates, in most shots that a vehicle triggered the camera I can actually read off the numbers. A big portion to that would be attributed to a vehicle moving slowly along the street vs someone flying. Don’t expect to capture much past the speed limits of a parking lot however.
My only gripe with this product, and why I personally would never come back to purchase this product in the future. Customer support is a headache. It’s probably an inaccurate assumption but it would seem support staff use scripts meant to attempt and sway you away from filing any claim on the product. On my first rodeo I received a camera that just didn’t work over the network. Worked for local photo capturing but that would mean you had to access the sd card any time you wanted to check on its captured photos. Support wanted to go through some troubleshooting on it such as charging the battery, format sd, factory reset, etc. None worked, which I was already 100% aware of as I went through the process of checking all of that beforehand including seeing the pictures it had taken prior. On a second exchange I extracted some data from the card for the logs and a config file. I couldn’t make to much out of the config but the log made mentions of the SIM card being unusable. It went further to label what seemed the bands the camera was trying to bind to, which the log would always return failure. I gave that info over to support but added that the carriers bands it makes mention of are in some syntax of some sort rather than plain text CDMA / GSM and included a small portion of the log in plain text email. The response to that was pretty generic and unhelpful. I then offered to send the entire log/config file so a dev, or someone with more knowledge, can decipher the issue with the camera but all I received was radio silence. Support went quite for about a week. I didn’t actually get anything back from them until I notified TIN of the issue. The next reply I did receive came from a higher up individual in what I assume is from management. I assume they escalated the issue and had it resolved in about a month or so
Not too customer centric methodology if you ask me. I’d be genuinely curious to know how something like this would unfold if I was a normal customer and it was about warranty if I had failed prior to their warranty coverage.
In any case, this is a brand I will avoid in the near future just how I avoid SP.

Play PC games with your Xbox Wireless Controller.
With will allow me to play Elder Scrolls Online with an Xbox One control on a pc that I built, and a wireless headset and microphone for my Spanish class?
I can only clearly answer your first question. That is a yes to playing Elder Scrolls Online with this headset. But in order for you to be able to pair it with your computer you will need an Xbox wireless adaptor that you will pair the headset to.
However, I’m not entirely sure if you’d be able to use it for a class once paired to the Xbox adaptor.

Enjoy crisp powerful sound while gaming with this Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero wireless PC gaming headset. The rechargeable battery offers up to 30 hours of use, and the remappable on-ear controls let you adjust settings as needed. This Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero wireless PC gaming headset has a sleek metal headband and interchangeable cooling gel-infused memory foam ear cushions that provide a comfortable, secure fit.
Whats up with the lack of reviews on this, is this a new product? Are the ear cups leather? Is the mic attached or apart of the headset?
Product released a little over a month ago, so it is still fairly new. I believe the lack of reviews is due to people being hesitant by its overall lack of reviews internet wide, not just best buy.
The mic is detachable, picture attached.
The cups are both a synthetic fabric and a faux like leather. The leather covers the outside and synthetic fabric covers the face (or the side that would press against the side of your head).

Easily hang your existing soundbar beneath your wall-mounted flat-panel TV with this Rocketfish™ RF-SBM101 mount that accommodates most soundbars weighing up to 15 lbs. for sturdy support. Steel material provides a durable design.
Can you mount a sound bar ABOVE a tv with this?
You can, just as long as you stick to the weight limits. I believe it really comes down to the soundbar and actual mounting slots on the back of the TV.
