Impressive alternative to the original
on March 25, 2024
Posted by: Grouticus
After going through two original pencils which eventually died out and became paper weights, I was tired of spending the ridiculous price for something I felt was going to stop working relatively fast. That's when I discovered the new Insignia Active Stylus made specifically for most iPads compatible with their pencils, typically the ones post-2018. It was very simple to set up out of the box by doing the initial fast charge via the included USB-C cable which takes only about 30 minutes if completely dead and can last up to 15 hours on a full charge. Once charged, you double click the power button located on the end of the stylus and you will see a small LED light turn on showing it's on. Once that is done, you are ready to start using it; there is no need to set anything else up via the iPad settings or an app which makes it very user friendly with minimal reliance on the instructions. The stylus has pixel precision which accurately locates each touch point on the screen and by tilting the stylus while drawing/writing it will adjust the line thickness. While drawing/writing, if you are like me and rest your palm on the screen, it does not affect any touchpoints on the display. You can even use the stylus to select items on the iPad screen and if you double tap the screen, you are able to make quick notes in the Note app. Another useful feature is you can store the stylus just as you would the magnetic pencil on the top portion of the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd gen or later) and/or the iPad Pro 11-inch. The stylus also comes with a 1 year limited warranty. Overall, I believe the Insignia Active Stylus works just as well as the original pencil at a fraction of the price and would recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative.

Great design, comfort, features and sound
on March 2, 2024
Posted by: Grouticus
I’m honestly not sure what else you would need in a set of gaming headphones as the new Logitech Astro A50 X LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming headset comes with most bells and whistles. The Astro A50 X package contains the headphones, the HDMI base station, a USB-A to USB-C cable, a combo cable for your PC and the power adapter with a variety of plug heads depending on what region you are using these. Obviously one of the main features to look for in any good set of headphones has to be the sound which aren’t a let down in the Astros thanks to the the 40 mm Pro-G Graphene audio drivers. The sound is crystal clear with no delay in response thanks to the pro-grade LIGHTSPEED wireless technology they have. Possibly one of the greatest features the Astro A50’s offer is the ability to link all of your gaming consoles through their multi-system base station which allows you to run all your console’s HDMI cables and PC’s USB connections through it and which doubles as the docking station for your wireless headphones. The HDMI passthroughs offer Ultra HD resolution with 24-bit audio and 4K 120Hz video. On top of the input/passthrough options, it also has a Bluetooth connection in the event you want to pair it with your phone or other device. The next feature I always look for in a gaming headset that you might be spending hours on end wearing is the comfort. For me that means no high-end leather or vinyl material on the ear cushions as they cause me to sweat which is no bueno. The Astro A50s, thankfully, use a soft and cool mesh cloth type material that feels nice around the ears for hours on end. The 48kHz full-bandwidth broadcast quality LIGHTSPEED mic pairs perfectly with the high-end headphones and easily tucks away on the side when not in use. After using the headphones for several hours, it’s almost like they were not in use as the battery level barely budged meaning you can enjoy hours of use without worrying about the pesky low battery warnings and ending a game session. You can tinker with and fine tune your audio experience using the advanced Logitech G Hub on your PC and mobile application which has a 10-band equalizer, microphone settings, noise reduction and more. All that being said, the new Astro A50 X’s were obviously designed and manufactured for the hardcore gamers and could even double as your new over-the-ear music headphones when not gaming. The only thing I can think of that these might be lacking is haptic feedback which I had in my previous gaming headphones however that more of a bonus rather than a necessity and Logitech did another amazing job catering to gamers.

Extreme power and convenience in a stick vacuum
on February 29, 2024
Posted by: Grouticus
For the better part of a decade of running an in-home daycare, we have gone through our fair share of vacuums and mops as they are used very frequently several times on any given day. Needless to say we are constantly sucking up messes and mopping up spills. Having the portability of a cordless stick vacuum is a must have to avoid the trouble of messing with a cord and changing plugs during a whole house cleaning so we switched over to stick vacuums years ago. The only downfall to previous stick vacuums was always the limited power they could provide when cleaning heavy workloads like a daycare with an overabundance of mess makers. The other inconvenience we have also always struggled with is having to store and maintain mopping products to complement the vacuum cleanings which not only takes up additional limited space but it’s just another device I have to keep up on. That’s where the new LG CordZero All-in-One Wet/Dry cordless stick vacuum comes in handy. Not only does the new CordZero address these concerns, it exceeds all the expectations I had for a stick vacuum.
I would like to precursor this review by stating we have had an older version of the LG CordZero in the past that just could not meet the needs of the workload we had in store for it therefore we switched to another brand for the past few years which honestly performed much better in just about every aspect. So, when we decided it was again time to step up our cleaning game and replace our current vacuum, we revisited most other high-end stick vacuums for comparison and to get the best bang for our buck. Long story, short, we ultimately decided on the LG CordZero for the sheer power of the vacuum and the features it has. I was quite surprised as to how powerful the new CordZero is using LG’s Smart-Inverter Motor; you not only can feel the power, but you can hear it as well which could potentially steer some in another direction. It is much louder than all our previous stick vacuums and ranks up there with our older corded vacuums which, although came with their own downfalls, were also much more powerful than any stick vacuum we have owned. In fact, the vacuum is so powerful that, even with the normal setting, it easily pushes through any job and have yet to have the brush get stuck on any of our large area rugs which was a common occurrence with our previous vacuums. For those tougher jobs or perhaps thick carpet, there is also a power and turbo suction power setting which I haven’t found necessary yet since our house is mostly hard floors except for the carpeted stairs.
The weight of the vacuum unit is similar to competitors, perhaps a little heavier, but feels comfortable to hold with easily accessible buttons. According to my mother who lives with us, it may be a little too heavy for elderly people, like herself, or those lacking strength in their arms or upper body. With the telescoping wand and attachments installed it has a good balance as is easy to maneuver.
Having used all-in-one clean stations with our past vacuums was something we were already familiar with using other brands and are a must-have as well as you no longer have to empty the dust and debris yourself and, in the process, getting it all over defeating the purpose of cleaning. It also helps that the vacuum and clean station have a five-step filtration system which helps clean and avoid any unnecessary messes. In my opinion, LG did a much better job both performance wise and aesthetically with the design of their cleaning station which doubles as your storage for the combination tool, crevice tool and charger for the extra battery which are included with this package. It’s also more aesthetically pleasing and not as much as an eye sore as some of the competition as it’s sturdy rectangular design with cabinets hides most of the extras and internals including the additional nozzles and accessories that are included with the package. The LG clean station also feels and sounds more powerful than the competition we have had in the past but at the same, or similar, price point. Initially it is somewhat awkward to get the vacuum to seat in the station facing away from you however I think it’s something we’ll get used to. The top of the clean station displays the battery level and tells you whether it’s time to replace the bag. Although they both have lighted indicators, I was a little surprised that both the clean station nor the vacuum itself had an LED display to tell you the status or report any issues such as a tangled brush or low battery.
Regarding the mopping features, it is very easy to use by simply placing the mop pads center on to the mopping attachment and filling the mopping attachment reservoir with fluid. I used a combination of gentle hard floor cleaner I used in my other electric mop along with water. The CordZero automatically senses the mop attachment and the + button on the handheld portion is used to squirt the cleaner onto the floor while the mop attachments are spinning and cleaning.
Both large and small vacuum attachments and mop attachment included with this CordZero package appear very durable and have worked great with no issues thus far. They are easily swappable and can attach on the telescoping wand attachment or directly to the handheld vacuum unit itself which is useful for some jobs like stairs or vehicles. Although it is a nice bonus, I haven’t found use for the additional battery yet as one battery has lasted cleaning our entire 3900 sq foot house. Another great, must have, feature is the bright LED lights along the front of the larger vacuum attachment and the mop attachment which really highlight areas with dust and debris.
Overall, the new LG CordZero cordless wet/dry stick vacuum and mop is, by far, the most powerful stick vacuum we tested and what we ultimately decided on after comparing the competition. We have absolutely no regrets and would recommend it to anyone in the market. For peace of mind, it also comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty along with a 10 year Smart Inverter Motor warranty.

Game changing, ear blasting PC sound
on January 9, 2024
Posted by: Grouticus
One of the final components to my latest PC build has been to refresh and upgrade my speakers to something more up-to-date compared to the ones I have had for a few years which, by the way, are also considered on the high-end of the market. This happened to be just in time for the new drop of the pro series Razer Nommo V2 Full-Range 2.1 PC gaming speakers with a wireless subwoofer which appeared to be right up my alley. As an audiophile, anything that gets the THX certification has my full and immediate attention. This high-end certification coupled with the latest advanced audio features including virtual 7.1 surround sound that feels like the sound is on the side and behind you, 3” full-range drivers with aluminum phase plugs to minimize sound reflections and a 5.5” down-firing wireless subwoofer combine to provide a truly immersive sound experience for PC and console gamers alike that prefer or have an option to go without headphones. You can sync other devices to them and switch to the Bluetooth input through the Razer software. Regarding the appearance, you can immediately tell they are high-end PC speakers not only because of back-lit Razer Chroma RGB lighting which changes colors but also due to the exposed drivers with piercing cones. The wireless control pod/knob is a convenient short cut when having to quickly adjust the volume up/down without having to navigate to the volume controls on your screen or with some speakers having to reach to find the volume knob. However, it is an extra peripheral you’ll have to find a spot for on your desk. These are definitely the best sounding computer speakers, and many other speakers I have used for music in our house, and would recommend them for anyone that wants to step up their sound game.

Unparalleled sound and craftsmanship
on December 14, 2023
Posted by: Grouticus
Considering the number of headphones and earbuds I have gone through throughout the years, I consider myself reasonably familiar with what to expect from each manufacturer from the sound they produce, way they fit in my ears, features, functions and all the pros and cons. In my weekly routine, I probably cycle through two to three different types depending on where I am at, such as work or home, and what I am doing, like working out or trying to simply drown out the noise. It also doesn’t help that I have been an audiophile all my life and I have certain sound expectations that need to be met. That may sound excessive or abundant, but I have never been able to find a single pair that meets all of my needs until I came across the new Devialet Gemini II wireless earbuds.
Out of the box, you can physically see they are very well crafted and made with high end materials and not just run of the mill plastics and cheap metals. The charging case has a metallic gloss black center surrounded by matte black curved top and bottom. Opening the case exposed the earbuds which are much smaller than their predecessors, about 40% smaller, and most other earbuds with a similar oval design. The small size makes a huge difference with this design as larger oval shaped ear buds typically won’t fit comfortably in my ears and easily fall out. The Gemini II shape fit simply perfect into my ears and stay in place no matter what I’m doing including exercising and working out where there can be a lot of motion and that is typically when other ear buds will frustratingly fall out. My wife has relatively small ears and most ear buds don’t fit comfortably or stay in her ears. However, these stay in place even will all the moving around she does throughout her busy day running a daycare. They also come with four eartip sizes so they claim to fit any size ear.
Using the Devialet smart phone application, you can sync your Gemini II’s to your user account and provide the earbuds the latest updates. Through the app, you can customize the sound via their equalizer presets, customize the earbud touch controls for each side including activating the noise cancelling feature, play, pause, skip songs, etc.
Over the years, one of my main gripes for any headphones or earbuds has always been I have rarely been pleased with the max volume they typically provide. That goes for many high-end headphones and especially ear buds because of the restrictions of their size. In my four decades of using headphones and earbuds dating back to the orange foam cushioned wire headphones you see Star Lord wearing in Guardians of the Galaxy to the latest and greatest high-end audiophile or PC gaming haptic feedback over-the-ear headphones, there have only been a standout few that I have been actually impressed by as much as the Gemini II earbuds. For starters, although I have no specs or measurements to back this up and it’s simply my opinion based on my experiences comparing to other brands, it feels as if the max volume you would normally get out of most other earbuds is about 60-70% on the volume knob of the Gemini’s; surprisingly, turning these up to the max volume is actually too loud for me which I never thought I would say regarding ear buds. Perhaps this is due to their custom 10mm titanium Devialet drivers combined with the loads of the latest technology including the Qualcomm aptX Adaptive codec, Active Wind Reduction (AWR), Ear Active Matching (EAM) algorithm, Devialet Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) up to 40DB among the long list of features you’ll find on these beauties. I’m not surprised but the Gemini II’s ANC is also up there on my long list as some of the best noise cancelling I have heard in headphones or earbuds. Some other specs include Bluetooth 5.2 Multipoint allowing auto switching between two devices, up to 22 hours of battery life, IPX4 water and sweat resistance, voice assistant compatible, Google Fast Pair and QI wireless charging.
Overall, the new Devialet Gemini II wireless earbuds are second to none in my opinion and that’s saying a lot from an audiophile who has a knack for great sound and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation to consider spending the little bit extra amount for these works of art.

Great travel option for keeping drinks hot
on December 6, 2023
Posted by: Grouticus
The new Ember Tumbler was a much needed upgrade compared to the cup I was using that I would continue to have to keep refilling at my desk and that I could not take with me on the road in fear of spilling while driving. Not only can I put more coffee or tea in the tumbler, up to 16 ounces, but I don’t have to worry about the spills with the convenient drinkable lid that comes with it along with the handle lid for carrying places. It fits perfectly in my hand and in my car’s cupholder and keeps my coffee and tea at the perfect temperature, even up to 135 degrees, and tasting freshly brewed for around three hours without fear of wasting a good cup of joe. It’s also very durable and well made. The smart phone application is very simple to use. You can set the temperature to your liking, save presets and receive notifications on your device. I have been so pleased with both of my Ember cups that I would recommend them to anyone for private use or a great gift for a friend or loved one for those special times of year.

Beautifully crafted and amazing sound
on October 28, 2023
Posted by: Grouticus
I have been an avid vinyl fan and audiophile for decades and always had a place in my heart for vintage 70’s and early 80’s turntables. I always had an interest in later model turntables and never thought I would find one that could replace the high-end vintage ones I had used in the past. However, something recently caught my eye; the new Victrola Carbon turntable that offers everything I would want in a new turntable plus many added useful features for the tech enthusiast in me.
Out of the box, the Victrola Carbon was very simple to set up following the provided instructions and QR code that links to convenient product videos. The turntable itself is aesthetically sleek and well made. You can see at a glance the quality craftsmanship based on the woven carbon fiber tonearm which complements the other high-quality materials Victrola used including the included gold-plated RCA outputs, metal turntable components, metal platter and slip mat. The turntable also uses an Audio Technica Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge which is very precise and provides clear dynamic sound. They also include a much-needed dust cover to protect your investment. Near the counterweight you will need to install during set up, you are able to switch between 33 RPM and 45 RPM using the included adapter which conveniently has a place for storage near the switch. There are also adjustments near the tonearm for the
As we all know, looks aren’t everything. Therefore, we’ll get to what really matters… the sound. The one thing about vinyl that brings back some nostalgia for most is the raw, yet amazing, sound it provides, hence why I’ve always deferred to the sound of vintage turntables. After using the new Victrola Carbon for the first few days, my entire attitude has changed. It not only incorporates the great sound you would expect from a high-end turntable, it also offers users the opportunity to enjoy great sound while also incorporating the latest technology including aptC Adaptive and HD Audio via Bluetooth to your stereo or headphones which my wife definitely prefers considering the volume levels I like to listen to music at.
I hate to admit it, but I am quite taken back at how impressed I am with the new Victrola Carbon after finally taking the leap from vintage to the latest technology. I would recommend the Carbon to others in the market after being as hesitant as I was for the past several years until finally pulling the trigger on this beauty. I have no regrets and did not hesitate to list my vintage turntable for sale for someone else to enjoy. Unfortunately, I have no room to set it up in our house ☹.

Convenient and portable additional laptop monitor
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: Grouticus
I have been in the market for a portable extra monitor for my laptop for months and couldn’t wrap my mind around having to tote around a separate device I would have to prop up when I needed more screen. That’s when I came across the new Mobile Pixels DUEX MAX DS 14.1-inch portable laptop monitor. This thing is more packed with features than any other portable screen I had been looking at to fulfill my needs. Perhaps the best innovation is the magnetic feature that attaches the monitor to the back side of my laptop’s monitor making it portably convenient. Once attached, you simply plug it into a USB-C or HDMI output from your laptop, slide the screen out to the side to open it when needed and slide closed when not in use. Being that it’s magnetic, you are able to remove it completely and have the option to stand it up separately in kickstand mode either in landscape or portrait mode which makes it much easier to view full documents as a side screen which is a must have in my line of work. I also love the magnetic feature because I can move it to my other laptop if needed and it comes with additional sticky pads for the magnets in the event you need to switch/upgrade laptops. The screen, although small in comparison to most computer/laptop screens, is still very brilliant and clear. Overall, I couldn’t ask for more from the monitor for what I was looking for and this one fulfilled all my needs and then some and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a portable monitor.

Must have for amateur and pro photographers
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: Grouticus
There’s a reason why every time you hear the term “Photoshop” from someone who is talking about the latest social media post by some celebrity heart throb or cover photo of a swimsuit or lingerie model. It’s simply because Adobe has always been the industry standard and continues to set the bar when it comes to correcting and enhancing photos with their Photoshop software. They have made it so convenient, easy and user friendly to make anyone look like an unblemished super model.
One of my favorite features of the new 2024 Photoshop Elements software is the quick action options that make it not only easy to apply but also quite fun. Even if you are an amateur photographer, the software has step-by-step instructions for simple editing or if you’re in a hurry, the quick tab offers smart fix, color correction, dehaze, red eye fix and even AI edits that can smooth skin, remove artifacts, add sky to a photo and change from color to black & white, and even vice versa, automatically with just the click of a button. You can erase unwanted distractions in your pictures, blur backgrounds, change colors, clips specific images within photos and replace the entire background, and the list goes on and on. Some of the features and editing options in the software are so intense that it’s almost like watching magic happen before your eyes. Playing with the feature that allows you to specifically select something in a picture, whether it be a person, an object, part of the landscape or background, and make it move within the picture. The AI functions are also quite fun to tinker with if you’re not into the insane list of features this software has to offer. I could literally spend hours messing with pictures and then seeing reactions and comments from our online followers is priceless.
If you’re even remotely interested in photography, even if it’s just with your smart phone, there’s no excuse to not make the investment in Photoshop Elements in this day and age considering all it can do to enhance all those important pictures you have piled up in your digital photo albums.

Virtually instant cold and hot therapy
on October 11, 2023
Posted by: Grouticus
I imagine it’s not just me who has been stuck in a pickle without having access to a cold pack or heat wrap when you are in need of one for an injury. There have been plenty of occasions where we did not have an ice pack already frozen and available and/or something to heat up trying to nurse a muscle strain, muscle tightness, bruising, etc. due to an injury. That’s where the new Therabody RecoveryTherm cube comes in handy as a portable and compact device that can either get icy cold or instantly hot without having to scramble to figure out what other options you might have to result to, such as frozen peas or a bag full of dry rice for the microwave. Within a minute and the ease of pushing a button you are able to heat the RecoveryTherm cube up to 109 degrees for those muscle pulls or freeze it down to 46 degrees for swelling anywhere on your body. Conveniently you have the option to either use the cube as a handheld device or use the two straps included with the cube to hold it in place while you go about your day. It can stay heated for approximately 24 minutes, cold for approximately 18 minutes and even has contrast therapy that switches between the two for approximately 20 minutes. If you know anything about injuries, it’s best to start treating the area as soon as possible to reduce any further damage or swelling and this is the perfect device for those instances. I have used the cube at home after working out and in the truck while traveling. It has even been cleared by the FDA as a Type II medical device making which should tell you it has been vetted by those in the medical industry and proven to treat injuries. In my opinion it is basically a magic device or alien technology (sarcasm implied) I didn’t know existed before now and can’t wait to see what this company and others are able to come up with next and would recommend it to anyone who has experienced injuries before… obviously I mean everyone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keep an eye on your home or business day and night with Arlo Pro 3. With no wires, you can install Pro 3 in minutes and view video directly from your phone. Spot unique details with color night vision, and see more in dark areas with the integrated spotlight. The advanced lens provides superior image quality, a wider field of view, and allows you to auto track and zoom on moving objects with clarity. Receive notifications when your camera spots people, vehicles, animals, or packages, and view live video or recorded clips directly from your phone, with 3 months of included Arlo Smart.* Hear and speak to visitors clearly with two-way audio.
 

Does this come with free 7days of recording? Or is it like the 4k model where you have to pay for cloud after one year?

This two camera Arlo Pro 3 kit comes with three free months of the new Arlo Smart Plan which does 30 days of 2K cloud recording. However, you can also simply plug a USB drive in the hub to record locally. I would check the Arlo website for more details on the new plans they offer.

When spills happen, the Braava jet m6 robot is always on call—ready to head to the spot and take them on. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa, “Have Braava mop in front of the kitchen counter”, and it heads out and gets to work. Always learning your home and your cleaning habits, it can offer customized schedules that work around your life—even suggesting extra cleanings during pollen season. Using Precision Jet Spray, it loosens dirt and sticky messes without spraying furniture, rugs, or walls—all without any effort from you, making your mopping tasks a thing of the past. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

How do you keep it from going on your carpets from a tile floor?

It should sense that it's no longer on a hard floor and go in reverse. I would suggest picking up any rugs before you set it to clean so it cleans under the rugs.

Step into virtual reality with this Oculus Rift S PC-powered headset. The advanced optics produce a sharp display with bright, vivid colors, and Oculus Insight tracking removes the need for external sensors to convert movements into virtual reality. This Oculus Rift S PC-powered headset has a fit wheel that secures the headset with a quick twist.
 

I am setting up the oculus, but I can’t move the software into the other drive, and the thing it shows me to switch it does not work. Please help me.

This worked for me:

https://support.oculus.com/1142129705828091/

When you install the Oculus app on your PC computer, it'll install on the C: drive. If you want to install the app on a different system drive, make sure the new system drive has at least 4GB of free disk space and is formatted to use the NTFS file system.

To install the Oculus app on a different system drive:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run command
Enter the following path: [drive]:\Downloads\OculusSetup /drive=[new system drive]
- Replace [drive] with the letter of the drive where Oculus was downloaded to
- Replace [new system drive] with the letter of the new drive you'd like to install Oculus to

Ex: C:\Downloads\OculusSetup /drive=D or C:\Downloads\OculusSetup /drive:D
Click OK
The Oculus app will then open and attempt to install the app on the new drive you've chosen.

The small footprint of Echo Spot slides in easily without taking up space and works with all connected devices and speakers.
 

Can this work wirelessly??

No, it needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Keep your head in the game with this Logitech G Pro headset. Its leatherette ear pads isolate surrounding noises to keep you focused, and its featherlight construction minimizes pressure for longer wear. This Logitech G Pro headset's microphone has a wide frequency response and low signal-to-noise ratio for improved communication with teammates and opponents.
 

Do I have to get a splitter for this or no?

No, they come with an auxiliary splitter if you have a separate mic auxiliary out on your rig.
