The movie was good. The discs worked. Not really much more i can say about the item.
Movie is a bit dark for little kids and could be scary... this would have probably been PG back when i was a kid... lol

Always use zagg products to protect my device's screens. Cant beat the warranty and the products actually work great. No scratches on any of my screens even when the protector gets damaged.
This one is clear and does not interfere with display quality at all.

It works...
on April 15, 2016
Posted by: gadgetdude

Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this to stream some PC games to my TV. The device works just fine for streaming internet pages and youtube and other apps. You need google chrome to select individual apps to cast if it is not normally castable. The part of chrome that does that is still in beta so it is still buggy but works okay. Casting things like games uses a lot of bandwidth but again, it is still in beta so it could be something that will be tuned later.
As a general internet and youtube cast device it is awesome. For something to cast any screen on your PC, just be aware it is still beta and has some bugs. Cannot real give a negative mark for something that isnt finished yet so 5-stars for what is done.

Great Drive

Posted by: gadgetdude

Verified Purchase:Yes
Compared to the others that are available in the store, this drive was the best for the size and form factor (2.5in) outside of being a solid state.
Seagate has a great product and warranty. I have personally never had issues with any seagate drives but have had issues with other brands.
Overall, works like it should and had no problems. It was also on sale at the time so that was a bonus. 5 stars.

Can't really complain about it. Explains the game... So yeah. Pretty much everything in the guide can be found out by playing but having a reference is nice sometimes.

Pretty fun game. Only issue is that there is not a single player campaign so if you really want to get into the game you need to play online.

Pretty good

Got one of the early editions. Guitar picks up interference or something and randomly disconnects and/or causes missed notes. Downloaded firmware to update guitar from harmonix (need bluetooth on pc so if you dont have it, not sure if you can update guitar). Interface with ps store sucks. Constant disconnects. Use phone app to make purchases.
Song library is growing and the game itself is good. Gives me and the kids something to do when weather doesnt permit playing outside.

Good Guide

The guide is good. Can't say much about construction since I have only opened and closed the book a few times. Artwork looks good and guides seem spot on. My only complaint is the maps displayed in the walkthrough where it shows where the items are. Some maps are really hard to tell where the point of interest is.

Pretty good game. Only thing I dont like is the same thing I didnt like with Ground Zeroes... Every mission you watch credits. The credits go by quickly, but still.... how many times do I have to see Hideo's name?
Other than that, its a good game and I have been really enjoying it.

can I use this card for a Samsung convoy 4 flip phone,,,and could I go higher than 34 gb

Taken from the manual.. "Your phone supports microSD cards to a maximum size of 32 GB"

So, you can use a micro SD or micro SDHC card and the maximum size is 32GB.

Keep your office equipment safe with this APC battery backup. It has six outlets with surge protection, four of which also have backup protection to keep your important electronics powered short-term during an outage. Audio and light alarms on this APC battery backup let you know if something is wrong.
 

What is the inrush current on this device? Will it lower the inrush current my PC power supply unit draws from the wall-circuit breaker on turn on? PC pwr supply unit has inrush current of 46amp and keeps tripping the 15 amp breaker.

Not going to help you. Current in = current out. So if you draw that many amps, you will still trip the breaker.

All these do is protect your device from surge and blackouts. They have a rating and running more VA than it is rated or even at the higher end will shorten battery life or even trip internal breakers.

Hard to believe a PC powet supply can draw that many amps. They dont even make outlets rated for more than 20amps and 15amp is what most residential outlets are rated.

Only at Best BuyMount your flat-panel TV to the wall easily with this tilting mount that features a locking mechanism for secure installation and a fingertip tilt that allows for smooth movement and optimal viewing.
 

I mistakenly drilled 3/8 masonry pilot holes when I should have drilled 7/32. What should I do now? Use anchors, mount elsewhere, other?

Problem with anchors are they can pull out. I would suggest either using larger bolts which would mean you would have to possibly drill out the base plate to accomodate them, or just mount in a slightly different spot and just fill the holes. If in brick you can fill with mortar... if in concrete fill with hydraulic cement and then drill the new holes in the new location.

That is what i would do if i ever made that mistake.

Audio Receiver

Can I connect the Chromecast too a Receiver so I can select inputs or must it be the TV?
Mine works just fine plugged into HDMi on an AV receiver. They say TV most likely because maybe not everyone has an AV receiver?

is there and adapter that you can insert an hdmi cord into and other end is yellow(vid) white/red(stereo) male ends

I'm looking for an adapter that i can run an hdmi cord from my comp into female end of adapter and the male ends are stereo a/v ends to plug into my dvd recorder
Search for hdmi to composite video. Thry have HDMI to DVI but i have not seen HDMI to VGA and I dont know of anything that is available to composit video (both are analog). HDMI is a digital signal. Composite video is an analog signal. There would have to be a digital to analog converter so it would not be a small adapter but a box. It would also remove HDCP compatibility which is what encrypts the signal between devices to help curb piracy.

Easily share images using this Canon PowerShot SX-700 HS digital camera's built-in Wi-Fi, which lets you wirelessly send stored photos and videos to select mobile devices, social networking sites and computers. The Creative Shot mode adds artistic flair.Memory card sold separately.
 

Does this camera has a discreet shooting mode?

Flash is not automatic and you manually have to pop it up so unless you put the flash up, camera will not flash anything. There is no viewfinder so you really cannot turn the screen off since you wont be able to see what you are shooting. That is about as discrete as you can get with this camera.
