Great for Occassional Short Term Power Outages
on August 19, 2016
Posted by: UncleBobSC

Verified Purchase:Yes
I chose this particular CyberPower 650Va model because of the capacity or simply how long it power my computer, monitor and external drives. Certainly there are less expensive models but at the compromise of Power On Time after an electrical outage. This one seems to be an excellent blend of cost verses external power failure. Nothing could be worse than a electrical failure or "bump" while saving your files; then loosing everything.

Great Controller but not for a novice

This is a great controller IF you have an Xbox One and or a computer running Windows 10. It does have two hardware selectable profiles which can be useful when using the controller on the Xbox One or a computer. Expensive but worth the money.

Great Gift Supplement Card

This is always good to have for a "job well done" supplement card for school grades especially. My grands have figured out, without work and good grades, there is little reward. This certainly help boost those goals.

Bought this as an excellent school grades gift for one of the grandchildren. My fault was only purchasing one - should have gotten 2 more at the sales price.
Hopefully they will go on sale again in the near future.

This is truly a wonderful flashlight. It is very bright so do not shine it in anyone's eyes or yours.
The beam is not variable but with the brightness of the LED, that hasn't been an issue.

In the critical final moments of a heated raid, the last thing you need to worry about is losing contact with your team. It's crucial that you can be heard clearly by all your comrades, as well as that you're aware of every sound in your virtual environment. Slip on the LVL 1 Communicator Wired Gaming Headset to ensure you never miss a beat. The flexible microphone features passive noise cancellation, so your voice is clearly transmitted with a minimum of distracting background noise. Rich, immersive sound delivered by acoustically tuned 30mm drivers lets you enjoy crisp dialogue, clear in-game sounds and every note of the soundtrack. Find the right volume level or mute sound via in-line controls, and enjoy a comfortable fit thanks to lightweight construction and well-fitting earcups.

Civilization as we know it is in peril. Oryx, also known as The Taken King, has entered our solar system with the sole purpose of revenge. After the Guardians destroyed his son, Crota, his goal is to consume our worlds with the help of his corrupted army. It's up to you to defeat the king's evil hordes, overtake the Hive Dreadnaught ship and finally go head-to-head with The Taken King himself. The latest chapter in the Destiny series expands the universe you know and love with new locations, powerful new abilities and an all-new storyline that's as riveting as the last.Destiny: The Taken King brings you back to the Destiny universe, as you fight to destroy Oryx, an evil king with a hard grudge who's determined to take down the entire solar system. It's your job to find a way onto his Dreadnaught ship, obliterate his dark army and kill the king himself. You'll have access to three new Guardian subclasses, a wealth of weapons, armor and other gear and powerful new abilities. Select the Warlock subclass to harness the power of an electrical storm, the Hunter subclass to carve bows from gravitational void energy or the Titan subclass to summon a flaming hammer. Enjoy an expansion of the Destiny universe with a Cabal base on Phobos and Oryx's loot-filled fortress, the Dreadnaught. This Legendary Edition also contains Destiny, Expansion I: The Dark Below and Expansion II: House of Wolves, so you can experience the entire series.

This is a good multiplayer game if your internet speed will support the downloads and updates. I purchased the Legendary Edition. It also has single player mode which is somewhat helpful in learning the game. Rated Teen

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.

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.
