Inexpensive But Effective For Light Protection
on December 2, 2023
Posted by: PapawJeff
If you are very rough on your watch, these will most likely be a frequent watch bumper to replace.
They are made made of a TPU (a type of plastic) material which is pretty flexible and stretchy to a degree.
They should protect the watch case from small bumps bangs and abrasions for an office worker and in and around the house once you are home. But I wouldnt depend on it for any rough duty protection. But if you do tear up the bumper its easy and cheap to replace and much more so than replacing your expensive Apple Watch.
This particular one is listed for a 45mm Apple Watch, but it also fits my older 44mm series 5 apple watch and it fits perfectly. After all the 1mm difference expressed as a fraction is only about 1/32 of an inch.
The crown and button can be easily accessed and used without any interference with operation of the watch in any way.
It is however just a bumper which offers no back protection and there is no screen protection either. But that is the nature of the beast for this and all other bumpers

The New Features Made An Upgrade Worth It To Me.
on November 13, 2023
Posted by: PapawJeff
Depending on the user, previous versions will work just fine, but for me the new features really added some really cool options to my toolbox.
Of course you get all the features of the previous versions with the 2024 version of Adobe Photoshop Elements, but the new features in it really punch things up quite a bit.
Like its has been there are guided and non guided options for most things so things can be as automated or hands on as you want things to be. It is really only limited to your experience and creativity.
New features like matching color and tone can give a project a complete new look.
* Stylized text can be created and placed horizontally or vertically. This is especially nice on cards, flyers, calendars etc.giving a very personal look to your creations.
* With automatic selection feature you can replace one little thing in a photo or the entire background with one click.
* Creating photo reels to share or just to have is now very easy.
* Adobe is giving users access to tons of stock photos for you own use.
Several other new features to check out and find the ones you like are just waiting for you to discover them. And there is even a mobile companion App to keep your project flowing while you are out and about on the go!!!

Really like the mesh band
on November 12, 2023
Posted by: PapawJeff
I put this Insignia Stainless Steel Mesh Band on my 44 mm Series 5 Apple Watch.
It fits nice and secure and looks great. It pretty much just looks like the utilitarian nylon watch band I have had on my watch since the day I got it as I was not a fan of the silicone band that came on the watch from the factory.
But I liked the look of what I had and this fits right in there with that look. Plain, comfortable and very functionable.
The magnetic closure system is really something I was really very iffy on but now having used it I really like it. The magnet on the end of the band is very strong. Really much stronger that it even looks like is possible for a magnet that is so very thin.
I wear my watch on my left arm and at first I tried the short end on the top of the watch and the long part on the bottom, but it works out so much better with the short end on the bottom of the watch so you dont have the reach around the wrist to start the end through the slide.
Installation was as expected just like any other band for the watch and is infinitely adjustable

Another Awesome Set Of Earbuds From Marshall
on September 19, 2023
Posted by: PapawJeff
Marshall really hit another one out of the park when they made the Marshall Motief II A.N.C.in the ear headphones. I call them earbuds.
Straight out of the box, set up and listening to my music on my iPhone in under 5 minutes.
The Marshall Bluetooth app is the app you want to download to take full control of the degree on noise cancelation and degree of ambient sounds you let through.
You also can customize what touch and tap features work where on the earbuds with the app as well.
The "Front Row" sound quality that Marshall engineered into these earbuds produces a rich full spine tingling jam that will put your listening experience right there as if listening to the studio final edit before the album hits the streets.
The highs lows and midones are all equally produced with awesome quality and clarity.
The earbuds themself scream quality just from looking at them then touching and then using.
They are made of a mixture of aluminum and brass with some plastic components.
The part that hangs down from the ear seems to be knurled aluminum that helps you hold onto them when putting them in or removing them.
The case has a grippy exterior and holds some battery power to recharge the buds without an additional power source.
And that case can be charged on a wireless charger or with an outside power source and a USB C cable.
A cable is not provided but they are not very expensive if you dont happen to have one already.
Personally, I have several.
Quality appearance and sound quality made by Marshall are something you can be proud to own!

Nice system, Just Not as WIRELESS as I thought. !

Night Owl Cameras.
Setup is very easy and everything that you need is in the box. I say easy, but not painless.
You have to do everything in exact order or you will sit there forever waiting.
They said to be no more than eight feet away from the recorder base with each camera during set up. I just did one power supply and swapped out the cameras to set each up.
And dont overlook the fact that they say to make sure you set up ALL of the cameras before you hit continue in the upper right corner of the camera set up/locate page in the app.
But if you are looking for true completely wireless cameras these are not the cameras for you.
The cameras Wi-Fi transmission both audio and video are of course wireless to your home router and the included 1TB hard drive, however you must have a electric power source at each cameras location. Also the recorder must be hooked directly to your router, so yet another component of this system that is NOT wireless.
The only thing that IS wireless is the Wi-Fi link between the cameras and base.
This has caused me to rethink camera locations and the amount of electrical work I can afford and am willing to do to get this system to work for me.
When a camera is plugged in an operational its function and clarity are great.
Its motion detecting abilities meet my needs for sure.
Right now I am kinda laid up from ankle fusion surgery so permanent location of the cameras and providing a power outlet where I want or need a camera will have to wait for a month or so.
I did capture an image or two from the camera and one of the app in progress, but setting up all of the many bells and whistles on this system will need to wait on my ankle to heal up.
I would have given it 5 stars if it were not for the AC need at each camera, but it does say that on the box, I should have investigated more in depth and got the rechargeable system

Feature Loaded Easy To Use And Reasonably Priced
on May 27, 2023
Posted by: PapawJeff
This is loaded with features you would find in much higher priced cameras.
Mirrorless is the way of the future capturing beautiful images for both still and video.
My Vlogging looks wonderful and was compiled easily using the abilities and features of the EOS 50.
There are different modes that make video a breeze — such as the close-up demo mode for example — which seamlessly switches focus when a product is brought close to the camera.
You can also film slow-motion at a high frame rate of 120 fps in full HD.
For photos, sure your smartphone is always with you and today can take some really amazing shots, but most will still pale in comparison to anything that you capture on the Canon-EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera.
Its had a24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS Sensor and is equipped with a 24.2-million-pixel CMOS (APS-C) image sensor and DIGIC X Image Processor, the EOS R50 camera will snap up images and videos with reduced noise, with clear, detailed results even in low light.
Images look beautiful even when enlarged, with natural bokeh that smartphones can't offer.
All in all it is a wonderful mid priced upper entry level Video/Still shot camera with a very nice beginners lens that will give you many hours of fun capturing photos and videos for all of your social media platforms as well as any printed enlargements you want to make for yourself or friends or possibly to sell.

Sleek And Tall, Takes Up No Space At All. Good Fan
on April 25, 2023
Posted by: PapawJeff
Very easily goes together and is designed to disassemble when desired nearly as quickly as it went together.
There are three components to the tower that twist snap together and affix in the same manner into the non weighted base. But the bottom component is the heaviest one as it houses the motor.
The longest section is the middle and the long slender fan is in that section.
The top, shortest piece is also the lightest and it contains the controls on the fan and the status display.
In addition to its onboard controls a very small remote control comes along to control the fan from the comfort of your bed or chair.
It operates at a very low volume at all but the highest fan speed.
It moves a great deal of air and has multiple modes and settings that virtually anybody can find a perfect setting for themselves in many situations no matter the degree of air than needs to be moved.
FEEL THE BREEZE: 5 customized speed settings for your optimal airflow with up to 16.4ft/sec high-speed velocity and 450 CFM
CUSTOM COMFORT: 4 operating modes for various applications, normal, breeze, sleep and power breeze
8 HOUR AUTO SHUT-OFF TIMER: Easily set the length of time your tower fan will run before automatically shutting off
WIDE-ANGLE OSCILLATION - Motorized 80° oscillation offers wide sweeping back and forth movement to cool even larger living areas
QUIET OPERATION: Only 60 decibels on the highest speed setting, equivalent to normal conversation
Also included for seasonal storage or to take along when you want is a nice sectioned storage/carry bag.
This is covered by a three year manufactures warranty.

Good Price Point, Great Sound
on April 3, 2023
Posted by: PapawJeff
There are a lot of more expensive earbuds out there and I am sure there are not on the top of the list for many folks, but my wife and I both think they sound really good.
The touch controls are easy to understand and use and the enclosed additional ear tips are more than likely going to provide nearly everyone with a great fit in the ear.
I have worn them and listened to music, took phone calls etc in and about the house. And outside cutting grass with a battery operated lawnmower while cutting grass. The sound canceling works quite well blocking out the majority of all but the loudest unwanted noises.
Of course that is an adjustable feature that allows you to let thru ambient sounds when desired or needed or block out everything when its safe for some music only "Me" time.
The Jabra App is needed to make use of the full features and subsequent software and firmware updates from Jabra and provides you with a complete users guide and help right at your fingertips on your phone as you are out and about.
The one wish I have about them is that I wish they were wirelessly chargeable, that is just a personal preference of mine.
They charge up just fine with the very short USBA to USBC cord that is provided or any other cord with the same ends. No charging block is provided with the earbuds, but it does have a short charging cord to hook into your own USB power source.
They are IP57-graded water and sweat proof protection rated so poolside use, light rain while out and about or some sweat are not going to damage these earbuds.

This Is A Relatively Nice Electric Shaver
on January 31, 2023
Posted by: PapawJeff
Phillips has been my favorite brand of triple cutting head razors for many years.
They produce a nice quality machine that with proper care will last quite a long time.
This 5000X shaver is a wet or dry razor ( Waterproof IPX7 ) that can even be used in the shower.
Personally I never do that, I shave at the sink as I always have, but I take advantage of the waterproof feature by using a stream of hot water from the faucet to clean it up after a shave.
The triple head shaving attachment can easily be tugged off and replaced by a trimming head for sideburns and edges of a beard or moustache.
This razor is quieter than my 7000 series and still delivers a fairly nice shave with minimal razor burn in a few places I had to go over longer than others.
It charges from a USB power source that I hope you, like most people have an abundance of, but if you dont you will need to purchase one. No power block or charging source is provided with the razor.
But a proprietary end USB on the other end cord is provided.
In the box you will find the triple shaving head and protective cover, the sideburn trimmer head, and the cord for the USB power source that you must provide and thats it.
No cleaning brushes or combs of any sort are included and neither is any sort of case for travel.
But it does have a travel lock feature to keep it from powering on in your luggage.
Its pretty basic but would make an OK first electric razor as some dont stick with an electric an no use buying the top of the line to begin with and have it end up in a drawer somewhere and not be used.
They produce a nice quality machine that with proper care will last quite a long time.
This 5000X shaver is a wet or dry razor ( Waterproof IPX7 ) that can even be used in the shower.
Personally I never do that, I shave at the sink as I always have, but I take advantage of the waterproof feature by using a stream of hot water from the faucet to clean it up after a shave.
The triple head shaving attachment can easily be tugged off and replaced by a trimming head for sideburns and edges of a beard or moustache.
This razor is quieter than my 7000 series and still delivers a fairly nice shave with minimal razor burn in a few places I had to go over longer than others.
It charges from a USB power source that I hope you, like most people have an abundance of, but if you dont you will need to purchase one. No power block or charging source is provided with the razor.
But a proprietary end USB on the other end cord is provided.
In the box you will find the triple shaving head and protective cover, the sideburn trimmer head, and the cord for the USB power source that you must provide and thats it.

Protection meets style in this unique and highly functional case for most laptops with up to a 17" widescreen display.

Really great case,Except... the strap to secure the laptop is useless unkess your laptop is 6" thick. there is no adjustment. Laptop slides all over. It goes back to store today.

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

We love our big screen HD Smart TV mounted on the wall but have never been happy with all the sound blasting out of the back of the TV.
It would bounce off the wall and deafen anyone in the kitchen, but where my wife would sit in the living room she couldn't hear the voices unless it was sky high, and it would blast me out of the room.
If your looking for a theater surround sound, look further.
But if your looking for a very high quality compact soundbar with excellent sound at a very reasonable price I highly recommend the Bose Solo 5.

Sound was cutting out, but found the problem
November 6, 2016
Sound would frequently cut out completely for a second or two. I mean 20 time or so in a one hour show.
The issue was an audio output setting on my Vizio TV.
It had been set to bitstream.
I did a little online research and switched that output to PCM and the issue is history.
No more cutting out.

Add stability to your home network with the Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender. With DirectLink technology, it avoids signal loss by adding another 5GHz Wi-Fi channel to the standard setup, which it then uses strictly for receiving signal from the source. This Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender covers an area of up to 12,000 sq. ft. and includes four Gigabit network ports.

I have never had a repeater/expander work as well as this one.
It sets up a 5ghz band dedicated to communication with your current router and then sends out its own 5ghz and a 2.4 ghz band of its own.
Its three antennas and 12 repeaters ensure its putting out an equally as good signal as the router is. It looks like an antenna router itself and expands the coverage of your wifi to a potential 12,000 foot area that for most will include at least the immediate area outside. (Yard, porches and driveway).
Of course exact coverage limits will be more restricted by obstructions than this repeater or your router.

And Setup Was Super Easy And Quick. :)
May 6, 2017
I did the setup from my iPhone following the instructions provided and the on screen prompts.
From the time I went to the link in the instructions with my iphone until I had the repeater online and broadcasting was only 5 minutes or so.
Never have I been able to put anything on a wifi network and have it up and running so quickly and easily.

Everything about these screams quality and perfection.
From the quality machined metal parts to the premium cowhide headband and lambskin ear pieces to the cloth covered cords and canvas cases, the look and feel of quality is in every component.
There is also a round leather covered box to keep the cables in if you desire.
Even the box they come in is classy and very durable.
As for the sound, Everything from Classical Symphony to AC/DC with a stop in the country genre is what I used to put these thru the paces and they didn't fail me anywhere.
Every note in every range of all the music was crisp and clear as well as excellent quality on all vocalization.
No disruption or breakup of the bluetooth signal even when I walked into two adjacent rooms and the signal had to go through two walls, the sounds remained impeckable.
I have claimed these at my house for me at our house and I'll be very selective of letting anyone who is not old enough to appreciate such a fine article near them.
We also have a pair of Bose Noise Canceling Headphones and in the respect of noise cancellation, the Master and Dynamic set equal or exceed the Bose.
These are a pricy selection, but it will be money well spent if you appreciate music and want to own a set of headphones you will be proud to own and show off.

My Error, These Are Not Noise Cancelling

I should have said "While these are not noise cancelling, they are equal to my Bose Noise Cancelling headphones in sound isolation."

It had me at Pulled Pork :)
I did a 2.5 pound pork roast and followed the recipe for root beer pulled pork for an electric pressure/multi cooker and it turned out great, and was ready to eat in 45 minutes.
We did add a little bottled BBQ sauce to the sandwiches as we made them to get them to that just the way we like em point ;)
The meat was fully cooked, tender and separated easily with two dinner forks.
Clean up was super easy as it was all done in the stainless steel inner pot.
We bought the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 which is a 7-in-1 programmable cooker that is supposed to speed up cooking by 2~6 times and use up to 70% less energy. The inner stainless steel cooking pot is made very well with a super heavy duty metal. The entire unit feels like its components are equally well made.
It's really easy to use and has 10 safety features making it less frightening to the beginner using a pressure cooker.
Since it is also a steamer,canner, you can saute in it, a yogurt maker, rice cooker and warmer, I wouldn't say I will use it every evening but I can see me using it a lot.
I was hesitant to buy one, seeing it as another kitchen appliance gadget that I would end up sitting on a shelf in the basement, but after just using it once I can pretty much say that is not likely to happen :)

The Nest Doorbell is the battery-powered video doorbell that works with any home. See what’s happening at your door from anywhere and get intelligent alerts about important activity, like when there’s a person, package, animal, or vehicle.* And because there are no wires, you can install it yourself. Nest Doorbell requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.
How long will it last on battery power alone?
Like any battery device that depends on its frequency of use as well as temperature. Batteries tend to not last as long when its very cold outside.
Typically around a month for average use is a statement in the literature however it says you may see a longer or shorter time between charges based on you use.
We wired this one to an old transformer powered mechanical doorbell in the house so it has constant power.
But another brand we had that was battery only lasted about 4-5 months between charges due to low use.

Listen to your favorite albums and audiobooks on the go with this Memorex portable CD player. The 40-second anti-skip protection function for CDs ensures smooth, uninterrupted listening, while the dynamic bass boost system delivers rich sound. This Bluetooth Memorex portable CD player features an LCD screen and digital control buttons for conveniently choosing tracks and adjusting volume.
Would this fit in my pocket?
Its about 3/4 "larger in circumference than a CD . So I guess that would depend on the size of your pocket as to will it fit.
However it better be a loose pocket if it does fit as the buttons to control the device are on its top and slide to open on its side

Are these comfortable for people that need smaller in ear buds?
I dont have what you would call large ears and I find them very comfortable. Check out a picture of them online while being worn.
They do fill up a large part of the outer ear, but what goes back in the ear canal comes with two sizes of tips and are very soft and comfortable to me.
