I am thankful I bought the Greek Squad Protection with the purchase. It has failed to function less than two months after purchase. Perhaps for the very casual user this product would be ok.

This is a good general purpose less expensive mouse pad for the beginner or grand-kids (in my case).

Good Purchase on Sale

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased as an additional TV for game room. I highly recommend the Greek Squad Protection Plan on any electronic devices. The cost of repair out of manufactures warranty would make it a throw away TV.
It has inputs for devices and is a "smart" enabled tv - although I have not connected it to internet.

This game is an action filled and somewhat intense game. I would not recommend this one for a younger person because of the graphic nature of this game.

Following the record-breaking launch of NBA 2K16, the NBA 2K franchise continues to stake its claim as the most authentic sports video game with NBA 2K17. As the franchise that “all sports video games should aspire to be” (GamesRadar), NBA 2K17 will take the game to new heights and continue to blur the lines between video game and reality.

This WD My Cloud drive features a 4TB capacity and lets you stream media to compatible DLNA-/UPnP-capable devices or upload and access data on the go via PC, Mac and compatible mobile phones and tablets. Automatic backup helps safeguard your files.
 

Having a backup against a disk drive failure is great. Is this also a backup against ransomware? If my computer gets infected with ransomware and the files on my computer get encrypted, will the copies on myCloud also get encrypted?

If the files are corrupted, then unless you have some form of firewall / antivirus installed that checks your files before they are 'transferred' or copied; then the answer is yes they, along with any other files you may have on the drive will become infected also.

PC to Mac? Can I transfer files from my pc to this external drive, and then from the external drive to a mac?

Files are typically not compatible between the Windows platforms and MAC

With a 2TB capacity and a Gigabit Ethernet interface, this WD My Cloud external network-attached storage device lets you easily save files via your existing Dropbox or other Cloud account and access them from devices connected to your home network.
 

Can It be configured as a Raid,using the usb port and a HD? I know with HD's they only last so long, what happens to all the stored files once the HD crashes. With online storage like dropbox , etc all files are backed up.

I do not believe so. You need to have a Raid controller hardware and software.

Work and play online with less interruption. This Linksys router comes equipped with technology that zeroes in on each laptop, tablet, smartphone and computer in your home, for a clearer, faster Wi-Fi signal every time you log on.
 

Will this work with Verizon FiOS ?

It should but you would need to call VZW tech support. They may limit the number of clients.

Can I remotely log on and bump my kids off?

It works for me. You can put timers in place to block or the easiest thing may be to log in and do a reboot or turn Wi-Fi on or off.

Keep your home networking equipment working when the electricity goes out with this APC Back-UPS Network 40 BN4001 UPS that features 4 battery-backup and surge-protection outlets to ensure electronics remain powered during outages.
 

Is the device grounded - 3 prong plug?

The one I purchased does have a 3 prong plug. I would suggest having your power receptacle ground verified if your concern is about grounding. If the receptacle ground isn't correctly configured or missing, then I doubt having a 3 prong ground chord from the UPS wouldn't be of any value or protection.
