Vibrate your way to clean teeth
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
This is my first try of sonic toothbrush. I’ve had the rotating bristle designs before but felt they never did anything more than manual brushing. This is not the case here – the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 rechargeable toothbrush definitely does an incredible job. However, after my first use, I was not sure if I was able to continue using it. I have sensitive teeth and gums and the vibration was too much. Since then, I have gotten used to it and appreciate the fine job it does. I can see this being a problem for some people though. If you have sensitive teeth, you may want to look at the more expensive Sonicare tooth brushes ( 6100 and up) that have multiple modes and intensities. It does the job for me but if I could, I would have spent the extra money on the ones with multiple modes. In summary :
Pros -
Does a great cleaning job.
Powerful.
Very long battery life.
Well built
Powerful.
Very long battery life.
Well built
Cons -
Small brush head
One mode and intensity.
One mode and intensity.
Overall, I recommend the 4100 albeit I would recommend the 6100 even more simply for the other modes and intensities. For such small device, it is powerful and does a great cleaning job. A note on Philips products overall, I've owned various shavers and trimmers all my life , they were always quality. This toothbrush is no different.

Another solid product from Linksys
on March 19, 2018
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
The Linksys RE9000 range extender is not new technology. What is new is many of best features of today in one compact package. I could list all the technical specs but you can see that in the product specifications and other reviews. Most people could not tell you the difference between MU-MIMO and a muumuu and in the end, it does not matter. What people are concerned about is does it do the job, will they like it and does it make sense for them. With that in mind, here are some key points :
The setup - It does not get any easier. The extender supports WPS ( Wi-Fi Protected Setup.) Simply plug the router in, wait about a minute until the lights flash green press the WPS button on your existing router ( if it has it) and press the WPS on the Linksys RE9000 range extender. It will connect, set up an extension of your existing network with the same password. The whole process took 3 minutes. In the event you do not have WPS on your router, there is a web based browser set up. There is also a Linksys app called Spotfinder that lets your locate the optimal position for the extender.
Core physical features - the foot print of the unit is about 8 inches by 6 inches with four 5 inch antennas . Not big at all. It has 4 WAN ethernet ports so you add any hardwired device to your Wi-Fi network. I thought that was a great feature and 4 is better than most of the mesh network range extenders out there ( this device is not a mesh device per se.) I loved the extra ports because my ISP routers ports are all used.
Performance - I live in an apartment. It is not big but I have issues with network performance due to the construction of the building. The biggest issue is I have security cameras on the outside of building that are wireless and I constantly have problems with latency and connecting. With the ranger extender that all went went away. Additionally, I found I could go hundreds of feet to the other side of my apartment building and still get a decent signal. Interestingly enough, even with the range extender left in the same room as my router; I still noticed better throughput on the far side of my apartment ( there are several apps to test that.)
So is it worth it? In many cases yes. If you have an ISP provided router or have a newer top line router but have dead spots, definitely. If you have your own router that is over a couple of years old and lacks today’s technology - probably not. At that point, you are better off putting the money towards the top of the line Linksys max stream routers . They will give you all the performance and more features. At $170, Linksys RE9000 range extender is not cheap but is priced about where it should be. Overall, I have always liked Linksys products. The first router I ever bought was a Linksys and they just make good products. In terms of features, function and benefits, the Linksys RE9000 range extender is well worth it. Recommend - 5 stars.

Great idea, maybe some issues.
on March 18, 2018
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
I’ve used just about all types of antivirus and anti malware software but this is my first test of a hardware based protection system. To just call a hardware based antivirus/antimalware system does not do it justice. Think of it like an enterprise level firewall and router for all the devices in your home - mobile devices, pc’s and all connected devices ( including IoT devices such as cameras, locks even lights.) It is an impressive idea in a small package. Key points :
Set up -
The set up took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish. Very simple and straight forward. I did not like that it can be only set up from a mobile device but this is the way of so many vendors these days. Regardless, I liked the approach of the setup. You have 3 options, use your router from your ISP and clone your network, use your own router and install it as a bridge device or install it as standalone router with it’s own network. I chose to use it as a standalone router with a newly created network. I would not recommend it as your only network, I chose this option as a way to connect to a secure network for my PC’s. There is some network latency when this device is installed so I prefer to have a network for gaming and a network for my PC’s ( where my most sensitive data is i.e. Banking etc.)
Operation -
Once everything was installed, the app began discovering the devices I had connected to the network. After some odd behavior , everything ran smoothly. For some reason the app required I reboot my Mac before it listed it as secured ( I did it twice.) It also did not discover my Ipad until I backed out of the app and went back . I can tell you I have Bitdefender antivirus installed on the devices so maybe that had somehting to do with . Not sure , it is a minor quibble anyway. A major issue , which I have not be able to isolate, is that my Mac kept disconnecting from the new network internet and I could not reconnect. My Ipad worked fine but I have only been able to reconnect a few times after I waited a while. After a few minutes, I would lose internet. I would normally think it was my computer but since I can connect to my other networks with no issues, I think the issue is with the Bitdefender Box itself but I cannot tell.
Performance -
As a router, it is meh. It is AC1900 spec so it should be fine in most applications. It is MIMO with a 3x3 antenna array and dual band 2.4/5GHz. If you do not know what it means, it is not important in a buying decision. What I did see was average performance as a router with slight throughput degradation the farther I got away ( line of sight.) I live in an apartment and the contruction is tough on wifi. Once I got outside or in the far corner, I did see a drop. Not terrible but I can see a large home or older plaster/brick home causing some issues.
As a protection device, it is unbeatable. Obviously I could not test all malware, phishing and virus attacks but there are several websites that you can test various types of attacks and nothing got by the Bitdefender Box.
Overall , I like the idea but it is hard to get by that my Mac kept dropping the internet. I tried restarting, disconnecting and reconnecting and other tests. All were to no avail. I cannot say definitively it is the Bitdefender Box and I have not been able to test it on my other PC’s as yet. I like the idea and the design. In my opinion, it should never be used as your primary network, the router is just average and I am not sure the performance will be on par with ISP and your own router ( the Bitdefender Box only has 1 WAN port.) What I do not like is the cost, at $250 plus $99 per year after the first year, it is getting pricey for what you get. If I were Bitdefender, I would make a full feature router with multiple ports, a better radio and a lifetime subscription. Charge more for it, but make it so it blows the competition away. I am going to give it 3 stars based on I could not get it work properly on my Mac, the router and the cost. Hard to recommend because of my issue but don’t let my one experience sway you. Based on it being a security device alone, it is 5 stars. If you have security concerns, give it try.

Big sound from a little speaker
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
Another bluetooth speaker , just what the world needs. Maybe. So what does the Sony SRS-XB31 offer that is different? It has all the top features you would expect in today’s speaks - bluetooth, NFC, micro USB charging, waterproof and dustproof etc. Let’s take a look at the performance and some of the features :
LED lights - The SRS-XB31 has multi-colored LED lights that sync to the music. Yawwnn. Sony and other manufacturers - when are you going to realize that people do not care about it. Yes some people may like the cool factor for about 2 minutes and then totally forget about it. This is nothing but a battery waster in my opinion. Changing the light pattern is annoying, it is done through the app. You have to first select the light style you want and press done to see the new light pattern. A better design is to cycle through the light patterns as you select them. I just turned it off in the app. To each their .own I guess
Sound - There is a lot of sound coming out of a relatively small speaker. Out of the box, the speaker is set to extra bass. It definitely has a lot of bass, in fact too much for my liking. Luckily, you can change that through the app or a a series of button hold downs. In the app, you have three options for the sound - standard, extra bass and live sound. I found the extra bass a bit too much and a little muddied and the standard mode just has no life to it. The live sound worked the best with most of the songs I tried, this mode gave the best sound out of the speaker. To refine it further the app has an equalizer. Nice.
Build - this is one solid speaker. It is stated that it is waterproof and dustproof. Of course, I did not test that but I believe it. It is not too heavy but does have a very solid feel to it.
Unique features - you can chain together multiple Sony SRS-XB speakers ( up to 100.) Nice feature if you want to fill up a room with music. The Sony SRS-XB31 is Google Assistant and Siri compatible. It has a 3.5mm audio in and a USB port to charge any device ( as in if your phone runs low, you can charge it.)
I own the Sony SRS-XB20 and this Sony SRS-XB31 is an order of magnitude better. The sound, the controls and overall features are just better. This is not the best sounding speaker I have ever heard but it is very good. Sony keeps refining their speaker line and it shows. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Another solid product from Jlabs
on March 15, 2018
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
The JLab Epic Executive Wireless headphones offer good sound and a rich feature set for $100. You can read about the full features in the product description but I will highlight some of the core features, functions and benefits. Key points -
Active noise cancellation - You rarely see active noise cancellation on a $100 headset but Jlab's manages to it in an affordable package. It does work to a point but is not great. I can definitely hear a difference for background sound but I also hear this slight hissing sound. You can turn the noise cancellation off if you like. I did find in a moderately noisy environment, it did the job for phone calls.
Fit - the package includes 6 different types of ear tips, a neckband and cush fins. I spent more time trying the different options to get the perfect fit than any of feature. I did settle on the soft foam inserts that mold to your ear. They definitely offer the best fit and block out sound.
Unique features - this includes a 3.5 mm adapter for traditional connections. You can use it on any 3.5 mm connection on planes or similar.
Voice assistant compatible - Google Assistant and Siri compatible
Sound - I liked the sound. I found the range to be excellent and clear. Bass was surprisingly good. I used this on a VOIP application and it was great.
Water resistant - the Jlab Epic Executive Wireless headphones have a nice rubberized coating that is water and dust resistant.
Overall, I like the headphone. Clean design, decent sound and a great fit. I have had many Jlab products over the years , I have never been disappointed and typically offer a better value than higher priced alternatives.

Sony quality, average headphone.
on March 14, 2018

So another wireless headset in a sea of endless variations. Before getting into the details, you should first set the proper expectations - this is a $80 headset that is designed to compact. In that range, there are going to be similarities to with all the competition in terms of feature set - bluetooth, NFC, battery life etc. With that in mind lets review the core functions and features -
Weight and fit - compact and lightweight. Speakers rotate for a better fit and carrying. I have small ears and the foam “cups” on the speakers do not cover the entire ear. While this was not an issue of me , I can see some people with larger ears and/or used to something that completely covering the ears may have pause. Keep in mind this is made to be compact but I think Sony could make the ear cover a bit larger.
Sound - Average. I did not find the bass to be that rich and overall sound was just okay. Phone clarity was good and the microphone seemed to work okay.
Construction - I saw some reviews that stated the headset had a cheap feel to it. I disagree. While all plastic and lightweight, the overall construction is solid.
Features - Bluetooth, NFC etc blah, blah - the same as everyone else. What I did like is the feature to hold the play button to activate Google Assistant ( it works with Siri as well.)
Overall, this is an average headset that is a an average value. I did have an issue with connecting it to my Surface Pro 4 to use a VOIP application, I never could get it to work. This is probably related to the software I am using but thought it worth mentioning. I doubt many will buy this type of headset for phone communication only so this should not be an issue. So the question is it worth the money? Yes, as long as you understand that there are a series of tradeoffs to make this relatively compact. They are not small enough for jogging but not large enough to provide the rich sounds of some of the more expensive headsets. This is designed to be right in between the two ends of the spectrum. As I stated in the beginning of this review, set the proper expectations. One factor to always consider with any Sony product is the long history of overall quality. If you had two headsets at the same price but one was a Sony, I would pick the Sony because of the proven track record.

Adobe does it again, and again and again.
on February 21, 2018

Quite a while ago, I was introduced to Adobe Photoshop . It was a powerful tool but was complicated and had a steep learning curve. In most cases, it is overkill and not for managing day to day photos. That is where Lightroom comes in. It is a a powerful but simple tool for managing, editing and adjusting images. No long learning curve , just ample features for the casual or professional user. Here is some of key areas to review
Interface - clean, elegant design. Everything you need is a click away on the right hand side of the screen. No poking through menus.
Simple tools - yes, not as powerful as Photoshop but good for cleaning up photos and preparing them for production. Don’t dismiss the auto function, it really works great. Try out the heal brush, it cleans up a lot.
Learning curve - Moderate. The simplicity of the program makes it easier to learn then some of the other photo tools out there.
Organization - top notch for organizing photos, albums and assigning information to those photos. Think of it as a powerful cataloging tool.
Features - understand what this is for and take advantage of the Adobe cloud for storing. This has all the features you need for photo enhancement and organization.
At first, I did not go in understanding what the purpose of the program was. I was expecting some type of image editing program and the name “Lightroom” was lost to me. Now it is self evident ( as I say “duh” to myself.) This program is all about photo enhancement and organization. I have only begun to explore all the features but I quickly navigated around most of the core features. Overall , I like it. Adobe is really the gold standard for a multitude of programs. To be honest , I would not even consider a competitor in the word of images and graphics. There is simply no one close to Adobe. Recommend.

Plenty of free software that does the same.
on February 5, 2018

I like AVG products, I just reviewed the AVG Ultimate that the AVG Internet Security was part of that. Like any premium anti-virus suite, AVG Internet Security y covers against viruses, spyware, email protection, web protection and more. To be honest, most applications like this on the market at this level will do all that. Many are free so I am hard pressed to see the value. So with that in mind, I will be looking at the installation, interface and performance ( non- scientific) and overall impression.
The installation –
The initial installation was fast and the download did not take long. The program was downloaded via AVG website. You have to register with AVG to install. The registration was as simple as an email address and password.
The interface –
I am not thrilled with the way that AVG set up their dashboard. I did not find it very intuitive to access all the features and functions. At first , it tells you what you how you are protected . To view more you have to click on the cog next to scan, the menu, or my AVG drop down. It is not the end of the world, I just was not thrilled the way it was arranged.
The performance –
This program is fast. Every scan I did was finished in a short amount of time. It should be noted that I am using it on a very clean system but it still was very fast. During scans I noticed no performance lag in my system.
Overall –
I have mixed feelings on subscription based applications. It seems like you should pay once for something and be covered for a year. This holds true for the AVG Internet Security, if this product is meant for 3 systems for $20; does it make sense when there are free programs that do the same? I am not sure. The AVG Ultimate Security offers a better suite of options and unlimited device coverage. I would pass on the 3 system AVG Internet Security.

Like any premium anti-virus suite, AVG Ultimate security covers against viruses, spyware, email protection, web protection and more. Also included is PC tune up that has a multitude of features for system optimization. To be honest, most applications like this on the market at this level will do all that. So with that in mind, I will be looking at the installation, interface and performance ( non- scientific) and overall impression.
The inst¬¬allation –
The initial installation was fast and the download was not too large. The program was downloaded via AVG website. You have to register with AVG to install. The registration was as simple as an email address and password. I say the initial installation because not everything was installed on the first run ( this is by design.) There is an option for a Boot Time Scan. This option will scan your system at the initial boot before Windows starts. I like this option because it appears to be able to catch threats before they get any chance of impacting your system. I did run into an issue with the installation of the Boot Time Scan, my system froze up and I have force reboot. No issues after that.

Needs additional components and too expensive.

I’d like to give a positive review on this smart bulb but I can’t. Not because the product is not good, I cannot tell that. The reason becomes clear when you look at the box. Take a look the front and back of the box. Can you tell where it clearly mentions that you need a Hue Bridge? What is the Hue Bridge, where is it mentioned? It is there, not on the front but on the back with one tiny sentence “ requires a Hue Bridge.” There is another equally small sentence of “ Dimmable only with Hue compatible devices. “ No where is this clear on the front of the box and barely noticeable on the back. So for you to use all the features, functions and benefits of this bulb , you need to buy the Hue Bridge at a cost of about $60. These bulbs are $50 each so for a 4 bulb fixture, this will cost $260 plus tax. Even if I was able to fully review the product, I would not recommend this product on the cost alone.

can I watch tv and see the person I am talking too on the tv?
Maybe, but it is not a function that is built into the device. You have to connect this to a dedicated HDMI port. Theoretically, if your TV had picture in picture ; you could display two video sources.

Would this be a good choice for getting my hurricane shutters up in the event of a power outage?
In most cases, I would not recommend this product for that application. There are far too many variables in terms of power consumption and compatibility with whatever type of hurricane shutters you may have. I would recommend talking to a professional installer to get options.
