Enjoy legendary Technics sound quality in a sized-to-fit earbud, with advanced noise cancelling technology and call clarity. The Technics AZ60M2 True Wireless earbuds let you focus on your critical business, not on outside sounds, with immersive noise cancelling; combined feedforward and feedback noise cancelling uses both analog and digital processing for significant noise reduction in all low- to high-frequency bandwidths. A must-have for high-priority business calls, AZ60M2 earbuds ensure your voice comes through seamlessly on every call, with JustMyVoice technology using 8 MEMS microphones and an advanced noise-reducing algorithm to minimize outside interference. Now you can connect to more than two devices at the same time—Technics’ Multipoint technology allows you to connect to three Bluetooth devices simultaneously, keeping you connected to your computer, tablet, and phone at once and giving you the ability to multitask with flow, making these earbuds as essential for business calls as they are for family Zooms. Charge wirelessly (Qi compatible) to keep your workspace and bedside table neat and organized; wireless hi-res audio uses state-of-the-art Bluetooth with LDAC compatibility. Noise cancellation, EQ, and more are customizable through the Technics audio app so you can always have sound just as you want it.

Excellent earbuds, with sensitive controls.
on August 21, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Technics HiFi True Wireless Earbuds are an excellent pair of earbuds and I would recommend them to almost anyone, their are a few small issues that keep them from being a full 5-star in my opinion, but they are great overall.
I'll start with the good; the sound quality, noise cancelling, charging, and batter life are all great. I mostly listen to YouTube videos on my phone and the sound quality is great for this, with the long battery life and quick charging case I can listen for several days without having to charge the case. I typically use one earbud at a time and with these that is not an issue, I have used other so called "true wireless" earbuds in the past that only worked properly if both earbuds were inserted. Active noise cancelling works well, even inside an extremely loud data center, so I had no issues with that, obviously earbuds aren't going to cancel as much noise as headphones, but these still do an amazing job of it.
The issues: the touch controls are extremely sensitive, left and right touch controls function differently, and when paired with iPhone these only work as any other bluetooth headphone without the additional Apple functionality. Most of these issues aren't anything major; apple will only allow their own headphones/earbuds to have full functionality, but the touch controls are one thing that was distracting for me. Even when adjusting these earbuds, or accidentally touching the side, I would end up pausing my videos, it would be nice if there was a smaller, more defined, touch area for controls. Also, my other issue is since I only use one earbud at a time the additional touch functions, volume up/down and track forward/back, are tied to the left/right earbud specifically so if I wanted to use those touch functions I would need to use both earbuds at the same time. I don't mind since I can still just use the controls on my phone for these functions and I would rather use one earbud at a time just to keep awareness at work. These issues are very specific and I think for most people they wouldn't even be an issue, even so I would still recommend these to anyone looking for high quality earbuds.

Great budget IPS gaming monitor.
on August 2, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Acer Nitro "23.8 IPS LED model KA242Y is a good budget IPS monitor that features FreeSync and a 100Hz refresh rate. It has a single HDMI and VGA input with a removable fixed monitor stand and a standard VESA mounting pattern allowing you to either use the included stand or add your own. The top and side bezels are very thin allowing you to mount other monitors around this one and to keep a good look with relatively little gap between monitors.
I feel like this is a great budget gaming monitor and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to get a decent secondary monitor. It's smaller size, at least in my opinion, wouldn't make this a great primary display unless you are looking for something to hook your laptop up to, and in that case it would be a great alternative to most laptop displays. With only the single HDMI and VGA input you are a bit limited if you want to use multiple devices with this display, and if that is your use case I would recommend either a docking station or an HDMI splitter allowing you to attach multiple devices to this single monitor.

Good basic remote, if it works for your devices.
on July 23, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The TERK rechargeable 8-device backlit universal remote is a good enough basic remote that seems to work for quite a lot of devices. It is an old-school style universal remote where you have to either look at the long list of codes and find the one that works for your device by manually inputting the code, or the remote can auto scan through popular devices or auto scan through all codes until one happens to work.
It doesn't have advanced features similar to the (now discontinued) Logitech Harmony remotes, so you're not able to turn on multiple devices with the press of one button, if you use a sound bar for instance this will not turn on your TV then the sound bar and put them on the proper inputs. This particular remote can only turn on and off one device at a time and about the most advanced function that it has is the buttons that will take you to Netflix, Disney, etc.; and that's only if those particular buttons work for your device. That's kind of these remotes biggest flaw is that there is no guarantee that it may work with your devices, and even if it does seem to work, it may not have full compatibility so some buttons won't work or will work improperly. For me, I was unable to get the remote to work properly with my Apple TV, I couldn't turn on or off my Apple TV device, and rather than the volume remotes working through HDMI Arc and turning up the TV volume, the volume buttons on the remote would only work as up or down buttons scrolling through the menu rather than having any affect on the volume.
If you just need a basic remote for your multiple devices this may not be a bad choice for you, unfortunately for me this was only partially compatible with some of my devices and requires me to still keep multiple remotes to be able to have full compatibility with my devices. It's worth a shot and if it works for you and accomplishes your needs this is a good remote, but it does have room for improvement.

Great SSD for your PlayStation or PC.
on June 25, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The WD Black SN850P is an excellent Gen 4 SSD for use with your PlayStation or PC and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an internal Gen 4 PCIe SSD. Installation is a breeze of course, just make sure that your PlayStation is updated to the latest software version just to prevent any issues. Luckily PlayStation uses standard sizes for PCIe SSD's so if you later decide to upgrade your PS storage you can still use this drive in your PC. Overall this is a really good product and if you're in the market for a storage upgrade this is a great choice.
Just one thing to note, this appears to be essentially the same SSD as the SN850, it just happens to feature the PlayStation logo and supposedly can get up to 7,3000 MB/s versus the SN850's 7,000 MB/s. Not sure if this is a difference that you will actually notice or not but it's worth keeping in mind if you happen to find the SN850 for a better deal it may be worth going for that instead of the SN850P. The PS logo is nice, but since it ends up being internally mounted, you don't even see it after installing it.

Easy install and easy to program and use.
on May 24, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Emerson Sensi Lite smart thermostat is a great smart thermostat with lots of options for programming and with an easy installation making it easy to get into the smart home scene. Prior to getting this I would highly recommend checking that this thermostat is compatible with your specific heating/cooling unit otherwise you can run into issues or this will just not work with your house. Otherwise, as long as this is compatible with your house, the installation and setup is a breeze, the application will walk you through step-by-step on installing the thermostat and getting it set up for use.
Once you have the unit installed you then have the option of programming schedules with several different options including being able to drop the temperature when no one is in the house and raising it as you come home. For me, with my wife home most of the day I just set up a simple schedule to keep the house cool during the day and slightly less cool at night when the temperature is already down.
I really like the look of the thermostat itself and I think it fits in really well with my house and looks good without being intrusive. If anyone is looking for a smart thermostat I really think this is a great device for anyone.

Super quiet and effective air purifier.
on May 24, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
The Blueair Blue Pure 211i air purifier is an extremely quiet and effective air purifier that will keep your room/homes air clean and free of common allergens. The overall design is very pleasing and looks good in any room that you decide to put this in, the fabric (which is also a type of pre-filter) is replaceable with other colors that Blueair has for you to customize the look of your purifier. It is a bit bulky so it does take up a small amount of footprint in the room that you put this in, but I still think it is a nice design and looks good in almost any area that you may decide to put this in.
I appreciate that the pre-filter is washable and the huge size of the main filter makes it so it can last for 6-9 months according to Blueair's website, I just wish that this filter was also washable making it so that you can buy this product once and use it for a lifetime without any additional costs. But since it is such a large filter I don't think it's too bad to only have to replace this twice a year at most and depending on the air quality in your area you may be able to get up to 9 months which is even better.
The app has some handy features if your interested in tracking the air quality in your house, or if you want more control over when it comes on and off, other than that there isn't much use to the app and if you're just going to leave the purifier on auto then you don't really need the app in my opinion. I've already uninstalled it from my phone, but it's not as bad as most apps where it requires more permission than is necessary to control something as simple as a purifier.
Overall, this is a great air purifier and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an air purifier for the house or for a specific room.

Not your average toaster oven.
on May 11, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
This is not an old school toaster oven, the GE Profile Smart Oven is an actual oven that goes on your counter and features many modes that help you cook common items easily without having to mess around with temperatures and times. GE advertises this as an 11-in-1 oven, but these are just preset modes that help you get the time and temperature set quickly. The included racks and accessories allow you to cook several different items easily and the easily removable crumb tray make clean up easy.
The recommended SmartHQ app does not seem very useful for me and I ended up removing all notifications as they were getting annoying and they are redundant since the oven itself also notifies you. I was hoping the app would have recommended cooking times for different items and would allow you to quickly and easily send the times and temps to the oven so you could reheat different items. Instead it just has the same presets that are available on the oven and the ability to turn lock the controls and turn on the light from the app. The app also asks for a bunch of unnecessary permissions, location and bluetooth, which shouldn't be needed for an app that starts an oven. Overall I don't see the need for the app and will probably end up uninstalling it.
Other than the app, the oven is really great, I love the fact that it doesn't need to be preheated and can be quickly and easily started with many different presets for common items. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves to cook and wants an easy way to do this.

High Performance Computer and Electronics UPS for Premium Power Protection

Another great UPS from APC!
on May 11, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
I've always wanted to get an UPS for my computers and equipment to help prevent power losses and spikes from outages or other power issues, and the APC Back-UPS Pro model BN1050M has been a great option for me and my power needs. I have two computers that I switch between, a Mac Mini and an extremely power hungry AlienWare laptop, and even if I have both of these computers and their accessories running the Back-UPS Pro is more than capable of powering these devices during a power loss for more than an hour.
I was worried that due to the small size of this unit that I would be near to the max use of this units capacity and that I wouldn't have much time to shut down my systems if there was a power outage, but that is not at all the case with this, I am barely using 50% of the capacity with several devices connected at the same time. While small this unit is fairly bulky and I think due to the weight of the battery it helps give it quite a large capacity compared to it's relatively small size.
The screen on this device gives some useful information in regards to the battery and wether or not the unit is currently running on battery or from the wall. The nice thing is that the screen will stay off unless you press the button to view it or if something is going on that needs your attention, so if you have this in your room or somewhere else where light is a concern this is not a concern.
I've been really impressed and happy with this UPS and I especially like the fact that there is software for the PC that allows you to see the battery stats and the UPS battery stats show up natively on the Mac.

RevAir is designed to dry, stretch, smooth, and lengthen all hair types in less than half the time of traditional blow dryer / flat iron combinations. (Yes, we did say HALF the time.) Our patented technology dries hair in the natural direction of the cuticle (downward) to lock out frizz and seal in shine. And since it uses low heat, it won’t burn up your hair either. Faster, easier, healthier styling? Yes, please!

Quick and easy to use hair dryer!
on May 3, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
My wife absolutely loves the RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer, she loves the amount of volume that she can achieve when using this and has absolutely fallen in love with this dryer.
Others have mentioned the bulkiness and clumsiness of using this device and I would have to agree with them as well, the dryer base is fairly large, falls over easily, and the hose doesn't seem long enough to easily use this without pulling the base of the unit around sometimes. The plastic hanger that comes with the unit to hang the hose and dryer to the base unit seems absolutely useless as well just due to the design and it usually just pulls the unit over in my experience.
I wouldn't let any of those issues deter you from using this though, like I said my wife absolutely loves this thing and uses it every time after coming out of the showers, after some experience she has gotten her drying time down to less than 10 minutes for her hair and then we just shove the unit under the sink out of the way.
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a hair dryer, RevAir has made a really great product and anyone who gets this will not regret it.

Decent sound for budget earbuds!
on May 3, 2023
Posted by: jonnyd2885
Overall I was fairly impressed with the quality of the JVC Marshmallow earbuds, the build quality is decent and the sound is fairly decent for a budget pair of earbuds. Obviously there is room for improvement in all areas for these earbuds but I would say that at this price range they aren't bad at all.
As others have said the instructions included are next to worthless, but it is still simple enough to figure out how to use and pair these with your bluetooth device since there's not much to the earbuds themselves. Once I paired the earbuds to my phone I began my normal routine of listening to YouTube videos throughout the day with one earbud in at a time. I do this since it allows me to extend the length of time that I can use my earbuds as one is charging while the other is getting used and I can still keep an ear out on what's going on around me. These earbuds did a good enough job of this averaging around 5 hours of use on a single charge and charging up pretty quickly so that the other earbud was more than ready to go by the time I needed it again.
Overall these aren't a bad pair of earbuds and if you're looking for something on a budget that is simple to use and does what is advertised then these are a good pair of earbuds to look at.

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.
