Good monitor for the price.

Posted by: charliehustle77
This monitor is a great monitor for the price. The colors pop and the brightness is good. The stand looks great and it has a little slot in the back that you can slide your cords into to keep them out of the way and off of your desk. The HP monitor has 2 inputs HDMI and VGA. The control buttons are located on the bottom of the monitor and not the side so everything is easy to access and adjust. The bezel is pretty small on top left and right with the bottom having about a half inch bezel where the stand connects. The power cord comes with a power brick, so that could be a plus or minus depending on how you access it. I am only removing 1 star because there are no areas in the back where I can mount it to my 3 monitor mounting system. The other 2 monitors I have have a similar mounting system as a television where you can remove 4 screws, place the mount and then slide the mount on the display arm. This doesn't have that option and I feel like all monitors should at this point. Good monitor, great price, unless your planning on mounting it on a desk mount, then you're likely out of luck.

Smoking from the comfort of your kitchen.
on January 15, 2024
Posted by: charliehustle77
I've never owned an actual standalone smoker. I have however used my kettle grill to smoke a pork butt and wings. The pork butt required me to wake up at the crack of dawn, constantly monitor the temp of the kettle and hours and hours of waiting. The wings were a little easier and took less time, but also required me to babysit a kettle to make sure the temp wasn't too hot or too cool.
When I saw the chance to review this GE indoor smoker, I jumped on it. The box arrived and I thought, no chance I'm going to fit this on my counter as it was huge. Once I unboxed it I found the smoker to be much smaller, it was just packaged incredibly careful. I cleared some space and it fit like a glove with a few inches to spare.
The machine has plenty of settings to prime the auger, remove the pellets, and different presets for different types of meat. If you change one of the presets, the machine will actually remember the changes you made until you reset it. Theres a decent light inside that works well and then there's the app where you can control alot of the things on the smoker. It's really not that hard.
I started off with watching some of the videos available online. There's a plethora of videos from start to finish to show you what to do. I decided why not start with some ribs. I got one of the giant packs of 2 slabs of St Louis style ribs from the local membership stores and threw it in. I wanted to see exactly how much I could fit in there. Not going to lie, I was kind of surprised to see that the only thing that wouldn't fit in was about 1/4 of the package. So 1.75 racks of ribs, big ribs fit in this smoker.
My first smoke of ribs was decent but I wouldn't call it a success. Some of the thinner end of the slabs ended up drying out but the bigger ends were juicy. I determined I just had the smoker set too hot at 250 degrees for 6 hours. I also didn't use the provided thermometer that plugs into the machine. Mistake on my part, not the machines.
My next smoke was wings. They came out incredible. So much so, my wife asked when I was going to smoke more wings. Literally a week later I smoked more and invited friends over, they want to buy the GE indoor smoker now.. I fit 24 total wings both drums and flats. I threw a little seasoning on them and olive oil and into the smoker. Straight out of the smoker (before putting the sauce on them) you can really taste the smokiness. Really impressive.
The best part of all of this is, it doesn't fill your house with smoke. It does fill your house with a delicious smoked meat smell however. 10 minutes before you want to open the door, you hit the button that says "clear smoke" either on the machine or the mobile app and boom in 10 minutes you open the door to a completely smoke free cavity. Incredible. In order to test how smokeless this machine really is I put my dyson fan next to it while cooking the ribs for 6 hours, the dyson never went even into the yellow on the particulate matter (pm 2.5) scale. This means it was not registering any smoke at all. Crazy. I will say that first smoke had a much stronger smell than the 2 wing cooks. It could be because I was cooking pork or it could be that first time firing up an electronics device and you get that baking in smell. Either way it was noticeable, not horrible but definitely something to take note of.
So with all pros there are a few cons.
The door. Not only does the door not swing all the way open like closer to 90 degrees, it wants to shut when you open it. So you've got a hot rack of ribs you just flipped or rotated or whatever, and while putting it in, the doors trying to shut on you.
Pellet ramp cleaning. The machine comes with a wire brush for you to clean the pellet ramp or it wont properly burn the pellets. I found out midway thru my second wing cook that my pellets weren't burning properly. It had stopped smoking once I flipped the wings. the pellets that were being sent to the disposal bin were not burned. So here I go into the hot machine midway thru the cook to clean the pellet ramp. After that everything was good to go, but this is something I would recommend doing after every cook, just to be sure.
Honestly, that's the only cons I can think of for this beast. I do think the price might be prohibitive for some and that's understandable but if you're in an area where you cannot have a smoker in your yard or an apartment setting this one might be for you. Just don't be surprised if the neighbors come knocking asking why your apartment smells like a bbq joint.

Glad there were two in the box!

I'm on my second apple watch and unlike every phone i've owned, I haven't found it necessary to use a screen protector. On my old apple watch I did notice small tiny hair-like scratches on the screen after a few years. I figured for my newest apple watch I'd try out this screen protector to see how it works.
The Insignia Hybrid Glass Screen Protector comes in a pack of 2 along with cleaning supplies and a base to sit your watch in while you apply the screen protector making the process easy and fool proof or so I thought. The first time I tried to apply one, I did exactly as the instructions said and somehow ended up with multiple bubbles on the screen. I attempted to squeegee them out multiple different ways but they were still there. I attempted to pull the screen protector up in order to release the bubbles and I ended up messing the whole thing up. It looked terrible, so I removed it entirely. I've been able to correct the bubble issues on phones and ipads with no problem, maybe the size of the apple watch is why it was so hard to get a bubble free application. On to the second try. The second time I tried this it came out flawlessly. No bubbles and no issues.
This screen protector looks great and you literally cannot tell that it's on there. It feels exactly like the screen before applying the protector and really feels like it is protecting the screen the way it should. I'm confident this will end up being an excellent product and will last the life of the watch.
I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want the tiny micro-scratches that come along with owning an Apple Watch. I would say take your time and squeegee as best you can when applying.
I'm just glad they put an extra in the box!

Good brand at a good cost with tight tolerances.
on November 30, 2023
Posted by: charliehustle77
The insignia Rugged Nylon Band looks great on your apple watch. The clasps are strong and well built. The nylon feels to be of high quality and stitching looks perfect and is very tight. I have previously been using a generic stretchy band on my apple watch that I like because it can be taken on and off easily and the sizing never moves from where I set it at. This Rugged Nylon Band is a little different in that it is not very stretchy at all. The fact that it doesn't stretch causes me to take it completely off when I'm using it. Meaning i have to unhook the latch from the super tight loop and because my hand is large I have to take the whole band out of the loop to get it off my hand. Not the most convenient way to remove a watch at the end of the day or put it back on in the morning. I wish there was just a little more stretch to this so I wouldn't have to guide it completely out.
All that aside this is a well made watch band for a fraction of the cost of an OEM band from Apple. If you're looking for a lookalike to the apple version this is a good choice, just be aware that taking it off and putting it back on takes a little more time than just popping it on your arm or even guiding the metal button to the hole like on the band that came with your apple watch.

Wallet for MagSafe lets you travel light and leave your main wallet or purse at home. By securely holding 1-3 credit, debit, or ID cards, the Wallet for MagSafe instantly transforms an iPhone into a device that holds everything someone needs to go to the beach or out on the town. The Wallet’s ClickLock no-slip interlock ensures that Wallet for MagSafe stays solidly mounted to the iPhone when using a ClickLock-enabled Speck iPhone case—even when inserting or removing it from the skinniest jeans. The Wallet for MagSafe can also be used with other brand MagSafe cases but without the interlocking feature.

ClickLock is awesome.
on November 21, 2023
Posted by: charliehustle77
I've owned a Magsafe compatible phone for quite a few years but once I got the new 15 pro I decided it's time for me to actually take advantage of Magsafe instead of ignoring it. The Speck ClickLock Wallet is a great idea for just heading out for a bit and you want to just carry your id and maybe 2 other cards. The good thing about it and the thing that makes this different, is that little oval you see at the bottom of the magsafe circle actually becomes a lock. When you place the wallet on the Speck case a little locking device inside the wallet locks it firmly in place in a small indentation on the case with a simple little "click" sound. No worries about it sliding around or popping off, it's not budging at all. This in my opinion is next level thinking by Speck. Once you pry the wallet off of the case you can then take advantage of the other offerings that Speck has for ClickLock products which are a stand and a car mount at the time of writing this review. I look forward to seeing other options that speck adds to this really cool idea that they have.

Throwback to the original.
on November 14, 2023
Posted by: charliehustle77
The Polaroid Now Instant Film Camera Gen 2 is a throwback to the old polaroids from the 1980s. I remember my parents having one of these and all the fun we had with them, and we still have some polaroids laying around in boxes somewhere.
This camera looks and feels similar to the old school version in many ways but has a few modern upgrades. The camera charges with an included usb c cord, has a timer mode and has a remaining photo counter that is digital. That's basically it for the new stuff!
The photos this Polaroid takes look pretty similar to the old polaroids. Photos are better outside but decent inside with enough lighting. You're still going to get that grainy gritty polaroid look from the photos but isn't that part of the fun! The timer worked well and the focus did pretty good as well. Just make sure you're not too close to the camera and you have enough light when you snap the photo and you should be good to go. The camera comes with 1 pack of film and the replacement film is not exactly cheap, but really how often will you be using this with a phone in your pocket?
I think this camera is a fun piece of nostalgia from my past and probably yours too. It reminds me of simpler times when the world wasn't so obsessed with perfection. A time when your instant gratification was just a little picture that was a little off centered and slightly out of focus, but you loved it.

High quality premium case for your new iPhone!
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: charliehustle77
The CASETiFY impact case is a high end case that looks and feels great in the hand. The MagSafe magnet on the back is strong enough for all the normal attachments and I had no issues with any charging either. The bezel is slightly raised a bit to protect the camera perfectly. Around the bezel is the casetify logo to let everyone know you bought a legit case! The sides are black and rubberized for a strong grip, and there is a very slight bit of glitter shimmer inside the black. Not enough to be flashy, just the right amount. The acid smiles are slightly raised, just a bit but the rest of the phone is clear so you can still show off the color of your fresh new iPhone. The button cutouts are nice and flexible not too stiff or squishy.
The case itself boasts a drop rating of just over 8 feet. It’s also made from recycled and plant based materials so it’s good for the environment.
I feel like this case is the perfect amount of flash and protection. It feels like a good quality case that I highly recommend!

DJI Osmo Action 4 is the way to go.
on October 30, 2023
Posted by: charliehustle77
I've used a few DJI products so I was familiar with the quality that was to be expected out of the company. This camera bundle is no exception. The package includes 3 batteries and a charging case that holds/ charges the batteries. It also includes a few other add ons like a protective frame, a quick release adapter mount, cables and a extension rod. The batteries last quite a while from my experience. It boasts being able to record at -20 degrees c, and while I thankfully had a chance to try to use it at that temp it's supposed to get 2.5 hrs of normal battery life. The Osmo action 4 can record in 4k/120fps and has an ultra wide field of view at 155 degrees. The Osmo has a touch screen on front and back of the device which is really cool. Setup was easy and self explanatory. Settings are easy to get to and I still haven't made my way around all the settings yet. It uses extremely strong magnetic mounts on the bottom and side for easy mounting on metal devices.
I used the DJI app on ios to connect the camera and I would recommend it as it has more options than just fiddling around with the camera itself. It makes setup an even easier process. I've used this camera in several different ways. I followed my kids and dog around on their bikes and recorded them zooming around as well as I've taken some photos. When videoing I used the Rocksteady and Rocksteady+ setting. These made me running around chasing my kids extremely smooth, like major motion picture smooth. I'm really impressed. I also tried out slow motion, which looks extremely cool on playback on a 4k tv. The sound quality the Osmo picks up also sounds really great on playback. Photos and video look amazing from this device.

On the go gaming without removing my case.
on October 18, 2023
Posted by: charliehustle77
To start off, the Turtle Beach Atom iOS controller feels well built and has a slick design. I'm still rocking with a iphone 12 pro max for a few more days till my 15 gets here and it fit perfectly inside the Atom even with the case and finger ring on the back. I see other reviews saying that their iphone didn't fit with the case, I guess mine is just thin enough to make it work. Nothing felt awkward or crooked when i put it in with the case on, it felt very secure.
I like this device because I do not need to plug it in to my phones charging port, it uses bluetooth instead. This makes it perfect for future use with USB-c apple devices since lightning port is going away. I do wish there was a way for me to use this on my ipad. I guess i could just hook it to the ipad and use a phone as a spacer and it would work just fine.
I played a few games of COD, Madden and played with my kid on Roblox for a bit and never had any issues. Using hand held devices for mobile games almost feels like a cheat code on some games because you're not using the screen to play. Charging went relatively fast, just a few hours to charge up completely from dead. There are two sides to this controller but you can slide them together for easy storage and carrying with the enclosed soft carrying case.
I recommend this device to anyone looking to up their phone gaming with a really cool device that's portable and looks cool.

Somewhere in the middle of desk/lap top.

The HP Envy Move portable all in one computer is a really cool crossover between a home desktop and a laptop. It's a large screen device with a 23.8" screen with everything built in to the screen. This device offers great functionality with an intel i5processer, 8gb of ram a touchscreen and a fresh windows 11 install. It also has a 512gb ssd a 5mp camera that looks amazing and some excellent Bang & Olufsen speakers built in.
Packaging was right up there with a smaller sized TV, very well protected. Upon unboxing I noticed there wasn't much more in there but cardboard that provided protection for the device. I pulled out the Move, the keyboard and the charging cable. Bang! Ready to rock. Took about 25 minutes to run thru everything install related and then I was off to the races. All connections were pretty much automatically done like wifi and bluetooth. Super easy.. It has a carrying handle some really cool stands that swivel out automatically when you put it on a table and a nice keyboard that slides in a little pouch on the back. There are a few inputs, HDMI input, USB Type C, USB Type A and power. This could have used a few more type A inputs to be honest. Other than that I don't see anything at all wrong with this! The all in one worked well with streaming online, disney +, my kids roblox gaming and my wifes general usage. This is going to be my kids first time dipping his toes into the world of an actual computer vs using their tablets. There is an actual rechargeable battery on the Envy Move which enables it to really move around wherever you want. The batttery held up pretty well under mild usage of the kids. We got about 3 or 4 hours of gaming or streaming before we charged it up.
This thing is really cool and will be used A LOT in our house. For the price I think it's worth it for what you get. We could literally pack it up and take it with us on vacation it's so compact. Highly recommend!

Minimize movement and maximize comfort with ERGO M575—a wireless trackball with sculpted ergonomic shape. With no need to move your arm around to move the cursor, your hand and arm stay relaxed. Remarkably smooth and responsive cursor control works perfectly on any surface. Connect simply via Bluetooth Low Energy or the included USB receiver with a 33 ft (10 m) range.
hi, the M575 has only been available on Logitech's site in graphite and off-white colors. Guess best buy is having it now... is this "black" color really black? or is it the same graphite-gray that logitech sells on their site?
The part number on the black M575 from Best Buy does not match the part number for the graphite version from Logitech. I would guess they are not the same.

How comfortable are they? Do they feel like they're going to fall out with rigorous exercise (running) or do they have a secure fit a majority of the time?
These fell out of my ears while I was doing nothing. They don't feel secure. The sound on these are great but working out and exercising with these on will probably not be a good idea.
