What is this?
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
I know external storages are getting smaller in size and bigger in capacity but what is this? This Crucial x9 is something I haven't seen before. I own a couple of external storage drives and I thought they were small but this Crucial x9 took it to a different level. The drive itself is so small that it fits in the palm of my hand and even in the smaller pocket of a jean. The small size is not the only advantage this storage drive has but also speed. When I connect the drive to my PC it literally opens up almost immediately. It is rated at a max reading speed of approximately 1050mbs. I can attest that using it with my gaming laptop that is equipped with USB-C 3.2 I was able to get an average of 600 to 750 MBS of writing speed. I was able to transfer game file of 86Gb in a stunning 2 minutes and 6 seconds. I actually used a timer to time the transfer. I ran a few tests using CrystalDiskMark both reading and writing were a little over the 1000mbs. Be mindful to get the full performance you have to format the drive to NTFS. From the factory this storage device is formatted differently.
This drive is so versatile it can be connected to pretty much any device. I connected it to my computer, gaming consoles and even my phone and it worked. Overall this little storage device performs like a champ. It is extremely portable, and it writes and reads fast. It comes in various storage sizes from 1TB, 2TB and 4TB. I was definitely impressed with the performance and size. It is also rated dropped proof at approximately 6.5 feet high or 2 meters. A lanyard can be attached but it was not included. In the box you get the Crucial SSD, USB-C cable and manual.

Tiny but powerful
on October 19, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The TP-Link camera is very well made and has a small footprint. I really like the small design and how easy it is to set it in any type of angle. You can mount it on the wall or just sit it on a flat surface. The wall mount is magnetic so you can easily unmount it and move it elsewhere. It is very easy to set up and use. All you need to do is find a good spot, download the TP-Link Tapo app and follow the instructions. It will take about 10 min or so.
The image quality is really good and the night vision as well. The 140 degrees view is good enough to see almost an entire room. This camera has a built-in mic and speaker. Of course due to the size of the camera it's not going to be as loud. One of my favorite features is the privacy mode. It works differently as other cameras I own. It not just turns off the camera but instead it will cover it with a shutter. That shutter activates within the app. That's pretty cool.
Another great thing about it is that you can store your video locally as the camera has a built-in microSD card slot. If you prefer cloud storage you have that option too. The camera did not come with an SD card. This camera also works with your smart home. I have linked to my Google home and it works perfectly. However, I did notice that there is no live view within the Google home app on my phone. Instead you have to stream it to a Google home display. That part was a bummer because it doesn't make any sense that you have access to the camera within the Google home app but you can't stream the video. Hopefully that can get fix with an update
Overall this is a great camera and if you are already in the TP-Link ecco system this will be a good addition. It has a small footprint and a nice design that can easily conceal itself with your home decor. It can be adjusted to almost any angle with practically no effort. It has very good image quality and night vision. In the box you get the camera, power brick, magnetic mouth , mounting accessories and manual.

Good DIY Security system
on October 17, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This is a good replacement to a Google Nest Secure system. This alarm system is a great do it yourself home security system. It is an easy set up. Upon opening the package, a guide is provided. The guide instructs you to download the Simplisafe app which is available in your preferred App Store. The app is required and takes all the legwork in setting up the system. Once you download the app, you are prompted to create a free account. After establishing the account, you can begin to set up each device beginning with the base, then the keypad, and each door/window sensor. This system comes with 4 door/window sensors. In my set up, I only needed to install the sensors on all my exterior doors. I chose not to install them for my windows.
The installation consists of two magnet types of devices. The devices come preinstalled with 3M tape, which you stick to the door or window that you choose. Prior to sticking the devices, you’ll want to test if the device is working properly by simulating a door opening. You can do this by putting the two devices together and then moving them apart. You’ll hear an audible alert from the base indicating a door/window opening. Once you install the device you can label the device in the app to indicate front door, back door, etc. I then installed the motion sensors where most traffic occurs (living room/ entryways). This system comes with 2 motion sensors. Once I finished setting up the system, I activated the alarm from the app as this is how I normally prefer to monitor my home. I can set the system to home when staying in for the night or I can set it up to away mode when traveling or leaving the house. If you prefer to activate or deactivate the system from the included keypad, that is also an option.
The base station has a backup battery that lasts 24 hours in case of a power outage. I conducted a system test to see how loud the alarm was. I wished the alarm was a bit louder, nonetheless, it’s loud enough to deter an intruder from breaking into your home. The system comes with one free month of optional monitoring. My favorite part of the Simplisafe System is that if you prefer to self monitor instead of opting for an external monitoring service, you have that option. Overall, the system is made of great quality. Each device has a decent weight which leads you to believe that it should last you some time. In addition, if you need additional door/window or motion sensors, you can always purchase them separately to fully cover your home as this system is customizable to cover all your doors or all our windows or both.
Overall this is a really good DIY system, easy to monitor yourself or you can add a professional monitor as well. This kit comes with enough peripherals to get you started and it’s easy to install. It works with home assistants like Alexa and Google. In the box you get the base station, keypad, 4 contact sensors and 2 motion, power supplies and manual.

Discover smooth skin up to 4 weeks without the use of chemicals or wax, even sensitive areas. Epilation provides longer lasting results than shaving. When comparing with the cost of salon waxing sessions over a year, you’ll save thousands of dollars by epilating. Philips Epilator Series 8000 (BRE700) is designed to use on the legs and body. It now has more hair removal power, with faster and more stable disc rotation than ever.

Works with some pain
on October 17, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This Philips 8000 series epilator is well made. It has a very nice ergonomic design which feels good to hold and maneuver during applications. It comes with a rechargeable battery that will last up to 40 min of continuous use. It can be used during wet and dry applications. I recommend doing it wet. It has two types of speed mode and a light that can help to see unremoved hair.
My girlfriend used it and the machine does work as intended. However, she's not used to using a depilator and complains about the pain. This is not a razor so yes the machine will pull hair from the roots that's how your skin will be smooth for weeks. I used it on myself and oh boy it does hurt, more power to the woman's lol. The more you use it the more your body becomes accustomed to it and the pain will be less. If you are used to waxing then using this machine will be no problem.
Overall this machine does what it is supposed to and does it well. It is a bit loud and it looks intimidating but it works. It is easy to hold and it's light. It can be used during wet and dry applications no problem. It comes with needed accessories to be used in different parts of the body. In the box you get the epilator, two attachments, cleaning brush, carrying case, charger and manual.

An Immersive experience
on October 13, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This is my second Drone. My first drone was a Mavic Pro. This drone has been quite interesting. At first it seemed intimidating to set up as the process was slightly different than what I am used to. The package contained the DJI Avata Drone, Goggles 2 and the RC Motion 2 controller. When you open up the package, you’ll see an instructional card with a QR code. Upon scanning the code, a website opens up with an instructional video. The video is 16 minutes long but necessary as it provides very useful installation and operating instructions. After watching the video, you’ll need to download the DJs Fly app and set up an account if you don’t have one. Once you set up your account, you’ll have the option of purchasing an extended warranty. Before setting up the drone, you’ll need to register with the FAA which only takes a few minutes and costs $5. Once you register the drone, the first thing you’ll want to do is charge up the batteries as they do not come fully charged. There is a detachable battery for the drone, another detachable battery for the Goggles 2 and the RC motion has an internal battery. They all need to be charged up. The package only comes with one USB C to USB C cable, which you’ll need to charge each battery separately. I wished this drone would have come with at least 2 USB-C to USB-C cables as charging can take some time. Also, there is no charging block included so you’ll need a USB-C charging block. After charging all batteries and turning on the drone, you’ll need to install several updates. In order to install the updates, you’ll need your cellphone. This drone is compatible with iOS and Android. In total, it took me about 45 minutes to download and install all the updates available. The updates were installed over the air but you do have the option of connecting the controller directly to a computer which I imagine will decrease the installation time. Keep in mind that you cannot fly the drone without installing all and any available updates.
After installing the updates, the last step is calibrating the Goggles 2. Follow instructions by placing the goggles in the orientation shown on the display. Just when you think it’s time to fly, you need to make sure your phone is connected to the goggles in order for the drone to transmit a remote identification. Per the FAA, remote identification is required. This is annoying in my opinion because it requires your phone to be connected to the Goggles 2 prior to taking off. The drone will note take off if there is a remote identification error. The next annoying part is that while your phone is connected you also have to have the DJI Fly opened up. Since you are required to have the Goggles 2 on to be able to see and fly the drone, this means that you have to leave your phone open and carefully place it in your pocket so that you do not accidentally close the DJI Fly app. I hope they can do a software update in the future where it does not require the phone to stay open with the DJI Fly app. Instead, the software should let you fly with the DJI Fly app running in the background.
Once you begin flying the drone, it feels different flying with the RC Motion controller but it is quite easy to get the hang of it. The downside of flying with the Goggles 2 is that you lose awareness of your surroundings. Because of this, DJI recommends a second person to be with you while flying the drone. So far, this drone has been fun to fly. I’ve flown it in the park and have also flown it inside the house. One thing to mention is that it is quite loud. When the propellers start up, they are noticeable because again they are pretty loud.
The drone along with the Goggles 2 and the RC Motion controller have great build quality. I like that the drone propellers are covered so if you do encounter an obstacle, they won’t break as easily, unlike my previous drone’s propellers which were unprotected. The drone has a fantastic 4K 60 FPS camera that shoots great quality videos and photos. The drone also has a protective cover on the camera which you should put on when the drone is not in use. The internal memory capacity is 20GB. On the drone itself, there is a USB-C port and a MicroSD card slot. The downside of these ports is that they are a bit difficult to get to because of their location. I wished DJI had placed these ports elsewhere. If you have big fingers, it may be a challenge. The drone also has sensors on the bottom to know the distance from the floor or an object. You can tell it is a high quality drone. DJI never disappoints.
The Goggles 2 are great but there is a flaw. On the side, there Is a touchpad to access the menu and change settings. Sometimes it is not very responsive. You have the option to swipe up, down, left, right but at times it may not do what you requested it to do. The screen inside the Goggles 2 is nice. It's a micro OLED with a resolution of 1080p at 100hz. You can adjust each eye separately by adjusting two individual knobs below each eye. Unfortunately, you won’t get a perfectly clear image through the Goggles 2 however, when you transfer the video or picture to a computer, it is perfectly clear. I have used the goggles with contacts and without contacts. It is possible to use them without contacts or glasses because of the ability to adjust the view with the knobs. Keep in mind that you cannot use the Goggles 2 and wear glasses simultaneously. I have never been dizzy or have had motion sickness with these Goggles.
The RC motion controller is a game changer. It is quite responsive and it makes you feel like you are playing a game. This is what you’ll use to control and fly the drone. Each button is made with great build quality. The throttle to move forward and backwards is very responsive.
Overall this is a great and fun drone to fly. You can get approximately 20 mins of flight time on the drone. The battery on the controllers and Goggles 2 last longer than the drone batteries. So you can probably fly 2-3 times before you need to charge them. I am enjoying this drone and can wait to make a full video. I like the fact that I can fly this drone indoors as I can see a great video in the making at a friends gathering. In the box you get the drone, Goggle 2, RC motion remote, two batteries, USB C cable, USB C adapter, screen protector, goggle power cable, lanyard, and manual.

The missing piece for the cameras
on October 1, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
If you're already in the Arlo ecco system then this would be a good additional security system. This home security comes with a keypad and two 8 in 1 sensors. The system itself is nicely built and has a compact design. First off, the keypad acts as the main hub so make sure you find a good spot. The hub is powered by USB connection so if you have USB sockets on your outlet you can skip the included brick. Setting it up is pretty easy once you get it connected to your router. Be aware that connecting it to the router can be a little challenging. This hub only uses 2.4Ghz band even though I still had some issues connecting it. My work around was to manually typing the SSID and password because my SSID was not showing on the app. Once connected to the internet, download the Arlo Secure app and follow the instructions. After setting the hub and updating the firmware connect the two sensors and you're ready to go.
I really like how this hub can be widely used for other things than just a keypad. It actually has a built-in motion sensor and can also be used as a smoke detector and CO alarm. You can turn those features on within the app settings. The keypad is responsive and the built in siren is not the loudest but annoying enough to be noticed. You can add wireless connectivity and battery backup to the keypad with a non-included cellular/battery pack add-on. The included sensors are impressive. I really love how they can be used for multiple things rather than just motion. The sensor can be used as smoke/co alarm, motion, temperature, ambient lighting, access, and even as a water leak detector. To be honest I put them to the test and they do work. I even tried the water leak detection and it was right on the spot even with the alert. The hardware of this system works.
When it comes to the software it is plain simple to use but it could be better. For instance you have 5 different tabs. The dashboard, feed, emergency, devices and routines. On the dashboard you get pretty much the same information as the device's tab and you can do the same thing. If you want to see the activities (triggers) you will select on the feed tab. That’s a lot of switching between tabs to accomplish those simple functions. In my opinion the activities should be displayed within the Dashboard tab which is the main screen when the app loads up, and you can see all the information at glance. When it comes to routines and automation they are easy to use but kind of limited. It just has two types of automations: schedule and arrive/leave. For instance I try to create a rule that if I get a water leak I’ll get a text msg. That could not be accomplished, instead get the notification from the app and that notification has to be set up within the device function tab and is limited to email.
This is a DYI security system you can add more Arlo peripherals than just the two included sensors. You also have the option to subscribe to professional monitoring. Those subscription packages range from $4.99 to around $24.99 a month. That's pretty much on par as with other competitors when it comes to professional monitoring.
Overall this system is a plain simple to use system and if you already have Arlo cameras installed then this will go perfect with that setup. It is easy to install and with multiple functions sensors you can be very creative and use them for pretty much anything. In the box you get the Keypad, two sensors, two magnets, power brick, installation kit and manuals.

It's for gaming
on September 27, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Asus Tuf gaming monitor is exactly what it advertises gaming. First, this thing came nicely packed, It was well foam padded all around. It is nicely built and the designs on the back look sweet. This is by far one of the easiest to set up monitors I have used. The stand was already attached to the monitor, all I had to do was to screw the base which can be tightened by hand. Adjusting the height, swiveling or tilting is pretty much effortless and smooth. This monitor is very sturdy. This is a 27 inch LED, 1080p with HDR curved monitor. It supports AMDFreesync, with 240hz refresh rate at 1ms. In the back it has several ports: two HDMI 2.0, one DP 1.2, two USB3, one USB type A and headphone jack. It also had built-in speakers. They are not the loudest but it has them. Also in the back there are 4 buttons for the menu and 1 for the power.
So far I'm having a great experience gaming on this monitor. I connected it to my Alienware x17 with an RTX3070 and was able to get constant 100 FPS during COD. In some instances over 200 with a max of 233 FPS. With Exoprimal I was getting constant 70FPS with the No Limit FPS settings on. The visuals during gaming are great. This monitor produces vivid and bright colors. However, I couldn't get that same beautiful visual for regular computer use. Most of the presets are for gaming. There are two that I would say could be used for regular everyday normal use. Those presets were Cinema and Scenery. But for my taste I didn't like either one. The screen was either too dark and too sharp. I wish you could have the option to adjust all the settings within the presets but you can't. You're only allowed to adjust certain things. For example: I used the racing preset which I find to be more suitable for my taste and it has a smoother image. However, the images are a little darker and the colors are not as vivid. I can adjust the brightness but I'm not able to adjust the color saturation because it's locked. If you want to adjust all the colors settings manually you have to turn off the HDR within the Windows display settings. If you have the HDR feature on you have to download the Asus display widget to change the gaming presets I mentioned. The Asus display widget app has 6 different gaming presets: RPG, FPS, Cinema, Scenery, Racing, sRBG and MOBA. There's also additional gaming plus features you can use like FPS counters and different types of crosshair for shooter games and even a timer.
Aside from that, overall this monitor performed great for gaming and multimedia. It is very well designed and has plenty of connectivity inputs. It supports some of the latest gaming technology such as high refresh rate, HDR and low response time. It is 27 inches which is not too big or too small. In the box you get the Monitor, DP cable, HDMI cable, power adapter and cord, USB3 cable and some manuals.

Fast speed in a slim design
on September 17, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This thunderbolt hub is very well made and I do love the slim design. It is compact and lightweight. The actual power supply is heavier than the device. It has 4 thunderbolt ports total, one has to be connected to the host laptop leaving you with 3 available slots. There’s also 1 USB3 port on the front. The silver color and bold curves makes it look fancy and modern. This will be a perfect match to silver color laptops and Macs. All thunderbolt ports provide power and are capable of powering a laptop with 60W. I connected to my alienware even after getting a warning it was able to power it (not recommended). I did that just to test, eventually I went back to using the dedicated power brick. I tried to test if the hub could work by being powered with the laptop alone but it didn't. The hub has to be powered by its own power supply for it to work.
You must connect the hub to the laptop using the port on the front of the hub, connecting to the back will not recognize the device. It works like a charm and the data transfers speeds are close to what they advertise. This thing is able to support 2 4K monitors @60hz and 1 at 8k. The fact that thunderbolts are compatible with USBC means you don't have to worry about getting different types of cables. I would have preferred the ports layout to be in the reverse way, the extra ports on the front and the laptop port in the back. The way it is now it is kind of awkward if you try to position the hub next to or in front of the laptop. A side of that I do love the device specially that slim design. Overall this device will do the job extremely well and with its slim and modern design makes it easy to carry. With 4 additional ports 3 being thunderbolt and USB you can’t go wrong. In the box you get a hub, power brick, thunderbolt cable, and manual.

Great J1772 Alternative
on August 17, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
If you need a replacement of a J1772 for your Tesla this Rexing connector will do the work.
The Rexing J1772 to Tesla adapter is a great alternative to the original adapter provided by Tesla. It’s made of great durable quality and it gives you access to more charging stations.
The adapter does not come in a nice case like the Rexing CCS counterpart which would’ve been nice but it’s not a deal breaker. So far the J1772 adapter works great with no issues.
The only small drawback was that it was a bit of a tight fit when plugging the adapter into my Tesla Model Y. It appears as if the Tesla side of the adapter is slightly thicker than the standard Tesla plugs. This connector has a max amperage of (80A) giving you a max of 20KW of charge per hour. During my used I was getting an approximately 7kw of charge, but of course that will depends on the charging stations. I am satisfied with this adapter and would recommend it as an alternative if you don’t have a J1772 to Tesla adapter or if you are looking for a replacement. In the box you get the adapter and some manuals.

The additional must have Tesla accessory
on August 17, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Rexing CCS to Tesla adapter is a great accessory to have. This is not a necessary accessory, but it will give you additional peace of mind because you obtain access to additional charging stations. I love the Tesla Supercharger network, but the truth is that it is still growing. I was once in a restaurant and the parking lot that had many CCS charging stations but no Tesla or J1772 stations. At the time, I did not have a CCS adapter but if I did, it would have been so convenient to charge while having dinner.

The Rexing CCS adapter comes in a nice case with a zipper. The case is good quality. I like that I can store the adapter in the case when not in use. So far the CCS adapter works great with no issues. The only small drawback was that it was a bit of a tight fit when plugging the adapter into my Tesla Model Y. It appears as if the Tesla side of the adapter is slightly thicker than the standard Tesla plugs. The adapter itself is heavy duty and durable and it is not that heavy. It is made to last. The maximum speed is up to 250 KW. I am satisfied with this adapter and would recommend it to cover any gaps where a Tesla Supercharger may not be available.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's all about the input source/Awesome 3d/blu ray
By LALAW
There were only two reviews on this model when I bought it, one on BB and the other Amazon, the latter complained of light or edge light bleeding..which I have not experienced. Unfortunately, Bestbuy did not have the 9500 model on display.
Pros-Blu-ray/3D picture is phenomenal, in fact you wont know how great the picture is until you view blu-ray or 4k player.
Cons-TV needs to be able to downscale as much as upscale. Cable viewing is inferior to streaming sources (and prior 1080 TV). From what I can surmise, if the input source quality is less than HD quality it exploits the imperfection versus improving it. Watching regular TV is almost unbearable unless the program was filmed in HD.
The aesthetics of this TV is awesome.
I struggled with LCD v OLED and even bought an on sale 55"OLED 1080 P from BestBuy which is an awesome all around TV, just wish in came in a 65" model and that would be the end of my search. I don't know if a 4k OLED will improve or make worse cable tv. The 1080 P OLED is spot on.
I gave this TV 3 stars because viewing cable TV programming has significantly diminished when compared to my previous 1080 p tv.
The quality of the picture is much better when streaming Netflix/Amazon/Hulu/4k, blu-ray when compared to cable programming.

I Agree with Delgado, why giving the TV negative review base on Cable TV viewing. If channels are not transmitted in HD quality will be horrible in any TV and a lot of the Cable channels in HD are in 720 not even full 1080p.

My husband bought me the Apple air buds and they are too big to fit in my ear. Are the Belkin earbuds smaller than Apple’s air Buds?

They are smaller and more comfortable than regular airpods. these kind of resembles the airpod pro and work in the same manner in which you have to plug them in the ear. it comes with different size foams that you can use to adjust the right size.

The choice is yours. Whether you prefer making single cups of coffee with *K-Cup pods or full-sized carafes from coffee grounds, the nutribullet Brew Choice Pod + Carafe has the goods to brew both. Just insert your *K-Cup pod or filter, and the machine’s Brew Sense Technology will automatically adjust its display to match, giving you options to brew a 6, 8, or 10oz cup of *K-Cup coffee, or a 6, 9, or 12-cup carafe.
 

If using an actual K cup instead of the reusable, will it fit a K Cup from Keurig? or is it a special size where you have to use an exact brand?

Yes the K- Cup from Keurig will fit. I have use K-cup from other brand as well.

And it comes in different colors to fit your style. The indoor Nest Camera requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.
 

Is this a wired outdoor camera?

This is for indoor. In the specification does not mention anything about being water resistant.

Can the SoloCam L40 (or any other SoloCam cameras) use the Solar Charger accessory?

The manufacturer does not clearly stated if it does, but I believe it do because on the camera power manager option setting on the L40 you can choose the power source from internal battery or solar power.

Will this work with an iPhone 12Max with a Mous Limitless 3.0 case. Anyone foolish enough to use any gimble w/o some sort of protection is just asking for trouble IMO. I really want to pick one up but not if it won’t work with a case.

I used it with an Android galaxy note 20 and I had a case on it. The clamp expanded wide enough to support the case. So to answer your it most likely work with your iPhone and the case.
