Great looking FHD monitor!
on March 12, 2024
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The HP Series 5 27-inch FHD Monitor is an all around great 1080p monitor that looks stunning in almost any environment or setup. With some of the thinnest bezels around and an all around thin and sleek looking aesthetic this is really a beautiful looking monitor. The 100Hz refresh rate makes anything moving on your screen look crisp with no artifacts or blurriness.
The only real complaint I have with this monitor is that it isn't VESA compatible making a multi-monitor setup pretty impractical which is a shame with how thin the bezels are on this monitor it would look amazing in a multi-monitor setup. I have seen adaptors for other HP monitors from third party sellers which make some of these HP monitors VESA compatible and I expect one will be made for this particular model eventually, but it's just a shame that HP couldn't just make it VESA compatible or have an optional mount available through there store that would do the same.
Other than that minor complaint I have no other issues with this monitor and I think it is a great fit for any setup and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great looking and very aesthetic FHD monitor.

Plug and play external capture card!
on February 24, 2024
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Elgato 4K X is an external capture card that gives you the ability to capture and record/stream video up to 4K 144Hz in HDR10. This is a great external device that allows you to record from multiple systems to your device of choice. With full HD input and output you can capture footage from your external consoles or gaming computer and capture or stream it from a Windows, Mac, or iPad. Using the USB port on this device you can even record straight to a USB SSD or SD card allowing you to edit your footage or clips later and put them out however you choose.
This is a great device for anyone looking to get into content sharing, with it's high-definition inputs and outputs and multiple methods of streaming or capturing your content you can get your content out to your audience in whatever way works best for you. Setup and use is extremely simple and requires very little technical knowledge. You can hook up your console/computer to the HDMI input, output that to your television or monitor and using the USB-C port capture or stream your content to your platform of choice. This makes it easy to capture your content without requiring a specially built streaming or capture computer, you can even use an iPad and get your content out to your audience.
I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to get into content creation who wants an easy method of capturing their content.

Great Thunderbolt hub!!
on December 5, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Belkin Thunderbolt 4 5-in-1 Core Hub is an amazing Thunderbolt 4 hub for anyone looking to expand their computers ports. With up to 96W of power delivery, 4 Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a USB-A port this Belkin hub is a great option for expansion. The build of this hub is amazing and feels great and seems like it will last for a very long time.
This particular hub is great for anyone who has fully switched over to USB-C or Thunderbolt for their accessories since it is mostly Thunderbolt 4 ports. With only one USB-A port you are fairly limited for regular USB expansion, but if you have a bunch of Thunderbolt or USB-C accessories this is a great option. This is the best thing about this hub, but it is also it's biggest issue, with no HDMI, ethernet, and only a single USB-A port you will need a lot of adapters for your non USB-C/Thunderbolt accessories. The other downside, at least in my opinion, is that the Thunderbolt port that delivers power to your laptop is on the front of the device so you end up with a cord coming out the front plugging into your laptop when it would be better to have it on the back. This would make it so that you can use the front ports to plug in devices that you want to easily add and remove and use the back ports for accessories that you don't need to unplug often as well as the power delivery.

Great camera for content creators!!
on December 5, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a great tool for up and coming content creators who are looking for a stabilized 4K camera for solo recording or for action shots. This particular Creator Combo comes with everything you need, with the exception of an SD card, to get right into the action. This combo kit is a great way for creators to get started making their content.
With face tracking and dynamic tracking you can easily keep your subject in frame and get the amazing shots you are looking for. This also helps if you are recording yourself for vlogs or other front facing content, and the camera rotates to face you so that you can still keep an eye on the view finder to frame up your shot. This combo also includes the DJI Mic 2 allowing you to capture crisp, clear audio for your content.
There are multiple amazing features included in the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and this particular Creator Combo gives you everything you need to get going. I think one of the cool additional features is the ability to turn this camera into an amazing webcam in a pinch, with it's amazing image quality it will look amazing.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to get an amazing handheld camera, and if you are into content creation then I would doubly recommend this camera.

Hands down the best smart lock I’ve ever used!!
on November 16, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Level Lock+ Connect with Keypad is an amazing smart lock with multiple methods for unlocking. The best thing about the Level Lock is the fact that it looks like any other lock on the inside and outside of the door! This specific version of the Level Lock+ includes the keypad if you still want to have a way into your house without sharing keys or giving someone a digital key. I decided to install it without this as I really like the fact that this lock blends in and looks like a normal lock and adding a keypad detracts from that in my opinion, but it is a great addition for people who need it.
The Level Lock+ integrates with all the major home platforms, Apple, Android, and Alexa which allows you to use your platform of choice to add the lock to your house. With NFC keys, physical keys, and the added keypad you have multiple options for people to get into your house. You also have the ability to add temporary keys with time and date expirations for people using either their phone or using the keypad. This is a great ability and makes it so that you don’t have to share an actual key with anyone and can grant and revoke access for people as needed.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a smart lock, and I would recommend this even if you are looking for a regular lock because I think the added functionality makes this a great purchase.

Hands down the best vacuum I have ever used!
on November 7, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Dyson V15s Cordless Vacuum is by far the best vacuum I have ever had and used, I have had other vacuums that claim to be better and cost more and I have not had nearly the same results as I have with the Dyson V15s. I live in a decent sized 1 bedroom apartment, about 1000 square feet, and this vacuum can handle every square inch of it, from carpet to hardwood floor with no problem at all. It can even handle my couch and cleaning out my car which is just a bonus. The included accessories with this particular version allow you to very easily clean your hard wood floors and make them look great.
I regularly clean my house with an automatic vacuum and I was able to take the Dyson V15s and still get a full bin of stuff that my other vacuum just cannot get to. The only complaint I really have with this particular vacuum is that it can be a little bit heavy and if you have a larger house that you are trying to clean all at once I could see that being very tiring with the weight of the main unit. Otherwise, I have no issues with this vacuum and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get a cordless vacuum that clean your whole house.

If you’re like many busy people, you have a dozen things going on at once, and working on the computer is no different. There’s a good chance you’re already using all your computer’s ports and wish you had extras to connect new devices. Thankfully, this hub helps optimize your workspace by adding two extra USB ports, an ethernet port, an HDMI port, a USB-C Power Delivery port, and SD and Micro SD slots. Simply plug it into your computer’s USB-C port and start connecting your mouse, keyboard and other accessories. Transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps move files quickly and efficiently and its compact size makes it perfect for slipping into a purse or backpack. Don’t limit your connected devices – enjoy more options with the Insignia NS-PH571MS23 7-Port USB-C Hub.

Excellent USB-C Hub!
on November 3, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
I am very impressed and happy with the Insignia 7 Port USB-C Hub. This is the perfect device to cut down on the “dongle” life when trying to hook up to multiple devices for your laptop. With just one USB-C hook up you are able to get power, video out, ethernet, 2 SD card types, and 2 USB ports. The metal body and braided USB cord really inspire confidence in the longevity of this device and with simple plug and play compatibility, you can just plug in your devices and have no problems.
The ethernet port has up to 1Gb speeds allowing you to add wired internet to your laptop along with hooking up to your monitor. The fact that the monitor output can support up to 4k 60fps is very impressive for a passively powered USB-C hub. The only thing I feel that this hub is missing is an additional USB-C input, that way you can still deliver power and plug in a device that also be uses a USB-C input. This would allow you to plug in your USB-C devices and still deliver power to your laptop which I think would be extremely helpful.
I think this is a great USB-C hub and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for one.

Good value earbuds!
on November 3, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Jlab JDbuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds are a great value choice for anyone looking to get a decent pair of full wireless earbuds. The sound quality is good for the value and they fit and feel just fine. If you’re looking to get a decent pair of value earbuds I would recommend these.
The JBuds are not the greatest sounding pair of earbuds, but for this price point they are more than good. Connection was easy and I was able to switch between multiple devices easily. Inside the box there are several different eartips to help make sure that these will fit your ears regardless of your size. The included charging case is great for extending the life of your battery so that you can have all day play with minimal charging in-between.
My only complaint with these is how lightweight they are, they are not very confidence inspiring and will sometimes feel like they are about to slip out due to their light weight and how light they feel inside my ears. The tips do a good job of keeping them in, but they just feel light which can be good for some people, but for me I sometimes felt like I was going to lose them if I got too active.
Other than that small issue, which is just something I’ve noticed, I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good pair of budget earbuds.

Super lightweight gaming headset!
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Sony Inzone H5 Wireless Gaming Headset is an overall great gaming headset that I would recommend to just about anyone looking for a gaming headset. They are super lightweight with a very comfortable headband and ear-cups making long gaming sessions extremely comfortable. There are multiple ways to connect the H5's to your platform of choice, with bluetooth, auxiliary cord, and a USB-A to C connection you can connect this headset to just about any device. The sound quality is good overall with no noticeable distortion, the mic quality is also good and it is able to cut out a decent amount of background noise.
My only complaints with the Sony H5's, and the only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars, is the overall build quality of the headset and the limited adjustability of the microphone arm. The mic arm, at least for me, ends up sitting way to close to my mouth; to the point that my beard is rubbing on it, and only the last 2/3 of the mic is adjustable and only a small amount. This causes the mic to sit very close to my face with no way to really move it out further. I also have some concerns with the overall build quality of this headset, while it is very light, it also feels very flimsy and cheaply made. The ear-cups are very shallow and your ears end up sitting right agains the speakers, the headset is very "bendy" which leads to it feeling that it is cheaply made and makes me worry about its longevity.
I would still recommend these to anyone looking for a great headset, but I would also be aware of the issues and concerns that I have with these. If they do not concern you or if they are something you can live with, I would highly recommend these. Just how light and comfortable these are make any of the issues moot for me since these are probably some of the most comfortable gaming headset that I have ever used.

Major improvements with some minor issues.
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Google Pixel 8 Pro features some pretty major improvements over the Pixel 7 but still manages to have some minor issues that are kind of annoying considering its price point. The design of the phone itself is greatly improved, gone are the curved edges of the screen (who decided those were a good idea?), but their is still a fairly significant amount of screen space being eaten up by the bezel of the screen.
My biggest issue with the Pixel 8 Pro is the aluminum edge and the brushed glass back, they both end up being very slick feeling and makes it almost a necessity to have some kind of case on this phone before it goes flying out of your hands. As someone who prefers to use only a screen protector on my phone this is extremely disappointing as I am constantly worried about dropping the phone, it also doesn't help that the camera bar gets easily snagged on your pocket when putting it in or taking it out of your pocket, paired with the slick feeling sides and back this snag is a recipe for disaster.
Other than that issue, the phone is a definite improvement over the Pixel 7, with even more improvements in software and hardware the Pixel 8 Pro is a better phone all around than the 7. Google has added even more AI features that work onboard the phone and with the better hardware they work great. The Pixel 8 Pro does everything better than the 7 and has made some really good changes that were much needed; rounded screen why?, but there is definitely still room for improvement.

What is the current standard for secured WI-FI?

I am interested in putting together a wireless network. I understand that WPA, WEP, WEP2, and TKIP have been compromised. What is the current standard for secured WI-FI?
WPA and WPA2 are still the most used security standards used and as long as you are not using a weak short password and instead use a longer more secure password (letters, numbers, and symbols), it is still a very secure standard. However, on routers that have WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) enabled, it can be used as a backdoor into your network through brute force. On most routers this is easily disabled, and in my opinion unnecessary on your own home network, but on other routers it is unable to be disabled leaving a way for your network to be hacked into. As with all security it is impossible to create a system that will not at some point be circumvented with enough time and patience, however for networking security standards WPA is still the best and safest option due to the enormous amount of time and effort involved with actually hacking into it if a good password is used.
As a note if you have any devices using WEP replace them as soon as possible since it is a matter of minutes to hack into devices using that method of security.
