SERIOUSLY... take a LOOK!

The Razer Kishi was an extremely surprising experience that I will say single handedly made me consider gaming more on my phone. I felt like I was playing a Switch or PSP from back in the day. It was refreshing to not have to find battery chargers or games to use, it was just powered by the phone. Sound from the ports was immersive and setup is easy just release the backplate, spread and connect the Kishi to your Android phone, download the Kishi app, and start trying games because there isn't a great list to choose IMO. I wish there was a readily accessible list of compatible games to refer to.
In all, the Kishi is a great piece of tech, but I wish it would integrate a headphone jack, ports for top firing speakers, and a little more width/height to fit larger phones like the Note 20 Ultra. I found it doesn't work with CoD Mobile which was a big bummer as I could not find any good FPS that I knew. This doesn't work with all games and the instructions could be better. Maybe there could be a way to direct the buyer to download the Kishi app. I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. The triggers feel cheap but all other buttons feel high quality. Overall I enjoyed gaming on my phone because of this. I don't have to play with touch controls on screen which was a big negative for me. These handles would benefit from a grippy coating as an added premium feel. This works well with FortNite, Madden, and NBA 2K when I tested. Since it is light, small, and portable to travel with, this is a must buy. However, I do wish a case of some sort or bag was included to protect it.

Great Tasting Water and Easy to Install
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This filter now replaces the water dispenser from the refrigerator we used to use for our drinking water. A major plus is it does not reduce the water flow by passing through the filter which is excellent. It is an activated charcoal filter so this 1 stage system lasts about 6 months and reduces microbial cysts, chlorine taste & odor, sand, soil, silt, rust and sediment based on 3M Testing. Makes tap water taste great and installs in less than 30 minutes. You will only need a wrench/channel locks, a screw driver, and your hands to use the press connectors. It is fast and easy to install. Overall, this is a reasonable system that will provide great tasting water for you and your family.
Custom install
I decided to make a drinking water faucet instead of filtering all the water that comes out of the sink. This should extend the filter's life as I don't need to filter the water I wash dishes with. Buy a 3/8" Tee Adapter at your local hardware store and you can do this too. Place the T on your cold water supply valve, reattach your sink water supply line and the new filter section and you are finished. See photos for final results.

Feel relief aid anywhere, anytime with Compex® Ayre™ compression boots. Designed for therapists, coaches, elite and recreational athletes on-the-go, Ayre is a therapeutic product using intermittent pneumatic compression. When exercising, the body builds up lactic acid as a biproduct of muscle contraction. Ayre compression boots work to break up these small molecules and send stimulus to your nervous system. These compression boots are designed to help improve blood flow and circulation in the legs by mobilizing lactic acid, access fluids, and other toxins. Compex Ayre uses a dynamic pulsing compression up the limbs in waves for the duration of its use, which helps promote quick healing. Sit back, power up the boots, and enjoy your recovery for up to 60 minutes anywhere on a single charge.

Great portable option for post-workout regimen

Compex AYRE
Tuesday, September 15, 2020
12:40 PM
The Compex AYRE are an excellent piece of medical equipment for any serious professional athletes or the die-hard fitness nut. Those who set out on a healthy lifestyle and train, you already know you have to invest in good technology for recovery and to avoid PT. After a run or leg day, they made my legs feel rejuvenated.
I immediately felt a difference using compression boots vs just stretching. The best thing about these is the fact they are 100% portable and do not rely on a power source outside of the onboard battery to function. You can take it on a field, in the gym, or to work for days where you are on your feet for long hours. In my office, I wear these to get my legs ready after a workout.
.:How to Use:.
There isn't much out there regarding how to use these things. The company would benefit greatly by teaching users via videos on YouTube. At the time of this review, information on these is scarce so you have to really be good at figuring things out to get up and running. The AYRE are portable compression boots that operate on two independent batteries lasting anywhere from 1-1.5 hours in my experience.
You simply strap on the medical-grade boots, press and hold power, and select either program F1 or F2. There are only two programs you can set, so that would be something to improve. To use, press and hold the power button and wait for the pumps to start working. During your initial trial, take time to write down what your chambers are set to and whether you need more or less compression. Soon, you will find what you like through trial and error. My settings are C1-120, c2-120 C3-110 C4-100 to give you an idea what you should end up with but your numbers should be different. Press and hold the set button to change chambers and click once to set the values for each chamber. You will spend some time adjusting the chambers to your liking and needs but after that… just press power and you are good to go.
After you figure it out, the interface is quite simple to use but I found it hard to tell if I was doing it right. Here is ANOTHER recommendation for making these better. Include a screen of some sort to be able to display something to let the user know what is happening. You You are unable to communicate what needs to be done or how to proceed which is a huge turn off for new not-so-techy users. There is not timer or screen to let you know what's happening, but I will tell you just sit back and enjoy until you are finished. It seems these are on an endless cycle until you turn them off.

Excellent protection in lightweight software
on September 1, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This is just what I need. No extra "optimizers" and speed up your PC bloatware. You get ransomware, exploit, malware, and web protection in a simple to use interface that is not resource intensive. Installation was fast and easy. AI algorithms scan in realtime to protect you and it scans Outlook attachments as well. After the initial scan, it found 3 trojans that were quarantined after I had been using another leading AV software... already feeling more secure.
Like most AV software, you will get the occasional upsell and promotion of their products, but NOTHING like others out there. I like the vast database of threats that you can click and it will take you to a page that informs you of the threat in depth. In all, this is definitely a good software you should consider ESPECIALLY with all the online students out there now.

Mini Plays Big
on August 4, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
The Mini Minimalist Keyboard
This keyboard is perfect for those who want a clean gaming setup without all the space needed by a full size keyboard. Using a 60% keyboard you will have more room to work with your mouse and a more spacious workspace. I find the Huntsman Mini to be well built but a lot more plastic than metal. As a result, this keyboard often slides around which can be a bit of an annoyance. IMO, for this price, it should have included a wrist-rest but nonetheless you get an amazing keyboard overall.
I must say, this is NOT my favorite for just working on typical computer tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, and surfing the internet. The key combos just for the arrows are EXTREMELY inconvenient. I don't even want to mention this is TERRIBLE if you try to use it for content creation since you need arrow keys to skip frames and perform other functions. Basically, it comes down to if you mainly game then this is for you. If you want to use this as your everyday driver, there is a learning curve and finger gymnastics that will come into play. I do love the fact the doubleshot PBT key caps come with secondary functions printed on the keys, but unfortunately they do not illuminate with the top of the keys leaving you to memorize the board. I do like when you press the fn key, only those keys with a secondary function light up to take some of the guesswork out of it. It this does take some getting used to if you happen to use the arrow keys to do highlighting text. Some will need two hands for the fn keys and others will be finger gymnasts.
The responsiveness is DEFINITELY noticeable as well as how little pressure is actually needed to engage the switches. I find playing on this board to be effortless and just feels great overall. The texture on the keys is nice and the RGB lighting is top notch. USB-C is great making this futureproof, and the Synapse 3 software makes it a gamers dream. In short, this is a great keyboard for those who are actually gaming instead of multitasking on a PC. I recommend this to ONLY those whose main purpose of using a PC is to game; a full size keyboard will serve everyone else better.

It does what it is supposed to do! It gives you another USB-C port to use for audio adapters or charging. The dongle allows for multi tasking with a single port. If you are looking at this, you probably need this. Well built out of lightweight plastic and the cable feels high quality.

Simply Works

This is quick and simple to review. You pour it in the tank, squeeze the trigger, and it just works! The Spot Chaser's perfect match to tackle your trouble spots in the carpet. This is always my first step in preparing my carpet for cleaning after a quick vacuuming. All the dirt, food stains, pet stains, and kid's accidents are no match for this solution and the Hoover SmartWash combo. As an added bonus... it deodorizes too! Grab a bottle and trust me, you'll notice when will like it.

Packs power in a small package
on June 23, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
Let me first start this review by just saying WOW! Sony, you FINALLY listened to your users! You get an RX100 with upgrades with its focus on video… a first! There are a few downsides, but mostly this is a BUY! The Sony ZV-1 is the perfect camera for vloggers and videographers who don't want to carry big gear around on less serious projects as well as the beginner to YouTube. We all know the best camera is the one you have WITH you and this is just perfect.
It's small enough to fit in the pocket but packs a big punch. You get access to the Sony picture profiles from all their higher end models including S-Log, Cine, Rec709, and HLG along with a built-in ND filter and well above average on board mic. You have everything you need to start in the world of video. I love the image this camera produces and the feature-rich filming options. You get slow-mo and a clean HDMI feed if you want to rig this up. You can charge from 0% to 100% in about 120mins.
It is built mostly out of strong black plastic vs the aluminum build of it's brother the RX100 but still solidly built nonetheless. We get a fully articulating flip screen that comes out to the left of the camera instead of on top. This stops the screen from being blocked when you are using mics and other attachments on the top of the camera. The screen is bright enough for outdoors with the proper option and details are easily seen.
We all know the long history of the learning curve needed to get through the UI. Maybe Sony will listen to this next… only time will tell. The menu system is tedious but they did try to spruce it up with an "icon" view. This will take a few clicks away to change a few things and should be developed further. Auto-focus is fast and I love the product showcase mode that disables eye detection to focus on what is closest to the camera... GAMECHANGER! Rolling shutter… not a problem here. It is almost not noticeable.
Now… things take a turn to the negative side. There are a few things that really annoy me about this camera. The fact the battery and SD card are in the same place right next to the tripod mount just didn't seem to be well thought out. This will annoy you quickly if you are shooting for more than an hour. You will need to remove your camera from your gimbal/tripod just to change a battery or remove the SD card.
The small buttons will take some getting used to but that is another annoyance for me. There are lots of crops depending on what options you enable. If you use SteadyShot, you will get a crop. If you shoot 4k, you will get a crop of roughly 10% of the sensor. When you zoom just past 24mm you just to f/ 2.8. It doesn't have f/1.8 for very long before you lose it.
The app isn't great and often disconnects using my Samsung Note 10+. This will not be part of the review. Below you can find a quick list of my gripes and bright spots with this device.
Pros
-Good onboard audio, excellent autofocus, and fast 24-70 f/1.8-2.8 zoom lens.
-Built-in ND filter.
-Grips built in to the body so you don't have to buy them.
-Above average glass from the RX100.
-Picture profiles with S-Log, Cine, Rec709, and HLG BT2020 and others.
-Fully articulating screen for selfie mode videos.
-Face exposure priority and excellent auto focus.
-Small and versatile camera with lots of pro features.
-Onboard mic quality is best in class for point and shoot cameras out there.
-Custom buttons you can program how you want.
Cons
-Learning curve for menus and interface.
-No auto-leveling option or limiters available for audio!
-Must have battery in to shoot, you cannot just power with USB.
-Small form factor means small buttons.
-No headphone jack to monitor audio!!!!!!!!!!!
-Screen is not readable with polarized lenses.
-Tripod mounting location leads to the need to removal what is attached to get access to battery/card. MOST HATED CON!
-No USB C we still are using micro USB for some reason?!
-Battery life isn't good, but that is because small camera = small battery.
-No included charger, you must use micro USB. Buy a wall charger and a few batteries to fix this problem.
-Beauty filter is on by default. DISABLE this or at least Low but no more than that or you look weird!
In the end… this is a must buy for anyone who likes video and doesn't want to have big gear for small projects. BUY THIS NOW!

Clean Air Act/EPA For Your Room
on May 14, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
The Molekule Air Mini comes easy to unbox and securely packaged. You open the box, take it out of the travel bag, open it and remove the plastic from the filter inside, and you are ready to BREATHE BETTER. With easy to follow instructions and setup you will NOT have a frustrating time using this. Just remember to open the top and take the plastic off your filter before turning it on!
It is built of plastic rather than the aluminum its bigger brothers are made of, but built well nonetheless. It's a little taller than a paper towel roll (12in high), 8in in diameter, and weighs around 7lbs. It is rated to handle rooms up to 250sqft effectively. There are only three parts (shell, filter, base) so it is not hard to put back together. It is made of matte white plastic with almost no hard edges. It utilizes a small touch sensitive panel with simple touch control on the top of the shell to dial up or down the fan speed. With PICO not HEPA technology, this cleans and sanitizes your air by using UV light to destroy irritants on the filter. At least every 6 months it is recommended to change the filter. With that being said, we need to know what the replacements will cost. At the time of this writing 5/2020, you are looking at $75/ea. That's $150 to operate after your initial investment MINIMUM.
Now for the personal story involving a guy who has allergies who wakes up sneezing a few times a week… me. I run a ceiling fan at night and I clean the dust off the blades. I vacuum every day at least once and do all the things I can to clean the air in my home. In short, this is a test for me to see if it is a noticeable difference. I can say since the first night I noticed a difference. My throat and nose didn't feel the usual allergy symptoms and no sneezing (until I left my room to the "unclean" air). It was INSTANTANEOUS after I left my room and entered the rest of the house before I started sneezing as usual. This makes a difference for me as an allergy sufferer. I am no scientist and I have no testing to prove this, but I know it works for me.
It is hard to say you can use this while you sleep on any setting higher than 3 (middle light). The fan is REALLY loud but it moves air to match. My recommendation is to leave this running an hour before bed on high then you can lower the speed to 3 or 2 to sleep in a clean and quiet room. Not everyone will buy this with other options out there, but it does work!

Worthy UPGRADE to G3PRO!
on May 9, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
FINALLY it is HERE!!!!! The 4th Gen Theragun PRO, a.k.a. the G4PRO for all the Theragun fans our there. In short, with the addition of the OLED screen, Bluetooth, quieter motor, and battery upgrade, you get a familiar gun with industry leading specs and improvements. The OLED shows the variable speed, force meter to show how hard you're pressing, and battery life. Battery life is doubled per "mag" up from 75mins on the G3PRO. The upgraded motor is more powerful, NOTICEABLY quieter, and professional grade to handle heavy use. The Bluetooth capability adds connectivity to the Therabody app for the SUPREME experience. Through the app, there are preset app guided routines that show you how to use the gun (even the correct amount of pressure on the screen with interactive feedback) and it times your own personal PT session. Now with 5 built-in speeds (1750, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2400 percussions per minute) and app-controlled customizable speed range (any speed between 1750-2400 percussions per minute). All of this AWESOMENESS fits inside a high-quality semi-hard shelled travel case and attachment bag to make it the ultimate travel companion! If you are a serious athletic or just train hard, you know the value of taking care of your body and this is an investment in YOU.
What’s in the Box?
• Theragun PRO
• Protective Carrying Case
• 6 Attachments with Travel Pouch
• SuperSoft
• Dampener
• Standard Ball
• Wedge
• Thumb
• Cone
• 2 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Batteries
• Lithium-ion Battery Charger
My talking points
-Battery Life is rated at 150mins per battery which this kit provides two. They charged in a little over an hour or so after arriving almost completely dead… not unusual but wanted to note it for someone who wants to use it IMMEDIATELY for something that ales them.
-Love the travel case! It is roomy and spacious for everything needed. It is a semi-hard shell case with places for two batteries and storage in the pocket.
-6 Attachments to choose from to tackle knots, lumps, and sore muscles.
-Therabody App is excellent! It teaches you the proper level of pressure to apply and where to use the Theragun on specific muscle groups. This provides guidance to otherwise clueless users to get targeted and effective results. Using Bluetooth, the app can control the gun turning it on and off for your timed routines. Try the "Sleep" Routine is my favorite to use everyday. It is 6mins of muscle loosening just before bed.
-Motor is SUPER QUIET compared to other devices I have used; especially compared to the Gen3 PRO. On its highest setting, this Gen4 it is quieter than previous generations. At the 1750 setting (low) it is noticeably quieter and usable in most environments. My wife says she couldn't even hear it in the next room. It seems most of the noise is coming from the actual attachment while the motor itself is fairly quiet.

will this drive work on usb 2.0?

does this drive, only work with a usb 3.0 pc input?
It will work with both. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports. I believe the only difference will be the drive performance. Read/Write speeds may be effected since there is a difference between USB 2.0/3.0 bus speeds..

What type of features does the app have? Can you control devices in the way that EERO and Luma are marketing? I've had Netgear routers for years. But need a mesh system . Currently, the UI for these routers are very limited.

The app needs a refresh but it is the Netgear Genie app. You can do a search online for the interface.

What is the user interface / app like? Does it have the ability to control the setup and individual device control like the EERO and LUMA have? I currently have a R8000 and it won't cover the home and the interface does not provide much control over wor

I can't speak on EERO or LUMA as I have never used them. If you are a R8000 user then you know the interface is fairly simple and nothing flashy. You will be used to the interface. The Orbi logo replaces the Netgear Genie Logo. The mobile app is Netgear Genie so you probably know how to use that as well. I would say Netgear needs to do an app refresh, but it is functional. I have used almost all of the Nighthawk line and I can honestly say the Orbi system is the BEST Netgear product offering coverage/performance utilizing a mesh network. If you need better coverage then get an Orbi system as it will provide double the coverage and seamless WiFi roaming without sacrificing performance. These are the 2 major reasons to upgrade over your R8000. Performance is similar for both.

Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.
 

Want to know if watch same as phone text or voice ??

I am unsure of your question because of the wording, but I will try to answer what I think you mean. If you are asking can you type a text on the Watch like on a phone, currently the answer is no. When watchOS3 is released it will do that but currently you can only select preloaded text responses or use voice to text. One good thing is the watch is smart enough to offer responses to questions as preloaded texts as well. For example if someone texts you:

What time do you want to meet? 3pm or 4pm?

The watch will have those two times as replies in addition to the preloaded/saved texts from your iPhone.

I hope this helps. With the WatchOS3 release looming it will be a great watch. Right now, it is a bit slow and clunky and you can tell it is Apple's first attempt at a smart watch.
