Simply a great home security system!!!
on September 3, 2023
Posted by: jhancock
Home security service features vary and SimpliSafe provides a plethora of options. Depending on your needs and preferences, here are some features that I consider important. They have a nice easy to install functional app – be sure to allow it time during installation as it appears to need time to connect and search.
Included in the package - Smart Home Integration with other smart home devices like locks, lighting, and thermostats can enhance both security and whole house automation. SimpliSafe accomplishes this in style. SimpliSafe offers excellent 24/7 continuous monitoring of your home, alerting both you and the authorities in case of an intrusion or emergency including things like water incursion (I am ordering additional moisture/water sensors). SimpliSafe provides alarm capability that detects unauthorized entry and triggers alerts, essential for home security. SimpliSafe security cameras for video surveillance, both indoor and outdoor, provide valuable video clips for identifying intruders and monitoring your property inside and out the wireless outdoor security camera has a 140 degree field of view, 1080p HD resolution plus color night vision, and includes 2-way audio. Inside. The wired Indoor security camera lets has 1080p HD video with a 120° field of view for both day and night. SimpliSafe motion sensors can detect human movement in and around your home, providing an added layer of security while set up to ignore pets – pretty cool.
The SimpliSafe system provides a smash-safe soft-touch keypad that is easy to use 24hrs a day, a wireless remote access control with the ability to monitor your home security system remotely using the mobile app. This combined with their live monitoring equates to exceptional security.
Additional SimpliSafe items, features and sensors that are included in this package -
Panic Button, Battery Backup and Redundancy, a 95 dB Siren along with stickers and a lawn sign. I believe that nefarious people will have a tendency to look for easier targets.
Other things that can be purchased include items like -
Fire and/or Carbon Monoxide Detection, Professional Installation etc..
Great easy to install system.

Hear, hear - yes they do! - nice Hearing OTC aid
on August 24, 2023
Posted by: jhancock
The Sennheiser - All-Day Clear Slim - OTC Self-Fitting Hearing Aid for Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss – All-Day Wear & Bluetooth – in Gray is a well designed and engineered hearing system. The specifications put it in the top of the OTC (over the counter) class of hearing aids. One of the key specifications that impressed me is the Ingress Protection (IP) Rating of IP68 which means they have enviable dust and water incursion prevention – basically they are what I would call waterproof. Sennheiser has been making audio devices since 1945 and has a great reputation.
They have given me all day use (around 16 hours), including listening to Bluetooth streamed music. Charging takes several hours which I do overnight.
They are not intrusive looking from an esthetic point of view.
The carrying case is bulky and does not include internal battery power for charging – needs to be plugged in to a usb charger.
Its microphone array works well for phone calls while the sound output in the ear is pleasant even for listening to music.
Overall it helps my aural discrimination letting me understand what is being spoken. They are light and stay in place. Great product.

Top Notch Huge Gaming Laptop - Awesome!
on July 24, 2023
Posted by: jhancock
This is a perspective to consider when looking at the Acer - Predator Helios 18 Gaming Laptop - 18" 1920 x 1200 IPS 165Hz – Intel i7-13700HX – GeForce RTX 4060 - 16GB DDR5 – 1TB SSD - Abyssal Black. In the early 1980s, a company called KayPro introduced a line of portable computers. The KayPro CP/M Portable Computer weighed about 30 pounds, and had to be plugged in in order to run (no batteries). We called them luggables. The Acer weighs in at a little over 7 pounds and can rum on it’s own battery power. It runs the most up to date Windows operating system (11) and the screen is about the size of the external case of the KayPro. These are awesome machines (the Acer Predator Helios 18 Gaming Laptops).
My experience with the Acer Predator Helios 18 Gaming Laptop was great from the unpacking, the setup and then gameplay along with video editing. The packaging was very protective and very attractive. The setup went fast and effortlessly. Then came the game play. Fast reaction time and great frame rates that are smooth due to the 165Hz refresh rate and the Acer implementation of anti-tearing technology, plus the new and ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture. It ran complex and high spec games quietly even on Max setting due to the new cooling architecture. Some people may need more ram, but I had no issues with 16GB. The RGB lighting is fun to configure, and the Predator setup apps are greatly appreciated.
So, in retrospect it is very light weight and fast (and durable and handsome and COOL in more ways than one. GREAT MACHINE! PS it also appears to be expandable (have not had a chance to check).

A nice looking sporty watch
on May 30, 2023
Posted by: jhancock
I have been wearing the Citizen - CZ Smart 45mm Unisex Stainless Steel Sport Smartwatch with Silicone Strap in Black & Silver for several days now. Here are my first impressions.
The Citizen (P991 MX1011-05X) CZ Smart Sport Touchscreen watch is a handsome looking watch that is sporty and yet looks very serious with an attractive non-functioning black knurled bezel with 60 minute markings (with the 0/60 at the top) that does not rotate. But it does look cool if you do not need functional bezel capability. The synthetic black strap looks nice and is functional if a bit stiff. The total weight is comfortable. The case thickness is thin enough to not be a hindrance and is an attractive and rugged stainless steel.
This Citizen watch has sensors for - Gyroscope, altimeter, barometer, accelerometer, heart rate sensor, SP02, and an ambient light sensor according to their documentation.
IBM Watson® and NASA's Ames Research Center, AI enhanced algorithms, learns your YouQ to deliver a daily forecast and an hourly Power Score which is a highly personalized indicator of your cognitive and physical energy.‌ It uses Wear OS by Google™ and should be upgraded to the 3.0 operating system by the end of 2023 and is compatible with both iPhone® and Android™ phones.
The screen brightness is not as bright as I would like unless boosted close to maximum. Watch faces are few and not as good looking nor as functional as their non-smartwatch brethren. It is not water resistant.
Final take - It will provide what they say and it is attractive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Windows RGB keyboard for gaming / video
on May 23, 2023
Posted by: jhancock
The Razer - BlackWidow V4 Pro Full Size Wired Mechanical Green Switch Gaming Keyboard with Chroma RGB is a phenomenal Gaming keyboard. It is physically impressive with great human factors engineering.
The extended full size keyboard (about an inch wider than my other full sized gaming keyboards) accommodates a full 101 standard keys plus additional macro, command and control keys along with the Razer™ Command Dial (8 functions) and a volume roller with 4 media keys. The version I have is the one with the razor green clicky switches which are mechanical and have a nice solid click and feel when actuated. You can also get the BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard with near silent key depression yellow switches.
It is easy to set up as a primary gaming keyboard with multiple configurations for different games, battlestation style etc. and also can be set of for quick reconfigure to do video editing.
The RGB lighting is AWESOME with immersive underglow and per-key lighting using the Razer Chroma™ RGB controlled by Razer Synapse.
I use different RGB patterns to show me what functional keyboard layout I am using.
Magnetic RGB wrist rest (weighty at a little over three pounds) that attaches magnetically to the keyboard to power the wrist rest RGB very nice and stable.
This keyboard also features - doubleshot ABS keycaps. USB passthrough, 2 braided Type A to Type C cables for standard keyboard connection and USB passthrough. 5052 aluminum alloy construction for durability with a matte – non glare finish. Great satisfying sound profile with pre-lubed stabilizers and 2 layers of internal sound dampening foam (gives a solid sound – not cheap clink, up to 8000 hz polling rate, 5 onboard memory profiles and you can save as many custom profiles to the cloud as you want.
Wish list - I wish they would expand the RGB lighting software (Razer Synapse) to include macOS systems.

A Responsible Way to Clean Air!
on May 17, 2023
Posted by: jhancock
What makes the Blue Pure 411a Max an incredible air filter? – many things! For example it has a washable pre-filter which is a very smart way to cut down on dead waste filters (eco-friendly and budget responsible). It includes proprietary HEPASilent™ technology, which combines electrostatic and mechanical filtration capturing at least 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 micron in size. In addition the Blue Pure 411i Max operates on low at 18dB sound level, and is never louder than 46dB (not jet airplanes taking off in you room). The new filters (6-9 months) are longer lasting. Using Blueair's new proprietary RealTrack algorithm, you can easily view the most accurate filter usage and reorder before it expires. The Blue Pure 411a Max uses advanced machine learning to adjust its calculations based on its unique environment, it takes into account factors like fan speed, usage time and pollutant levels.
Remember the pre-filters extend the life of the primary filters, by catching large airborne particles such as dust, lint, pollen, and pet hair.
So – quiet, low maintenance and cost effective along with good looks make this a great addition to a healthy environment.

Premium features at a more accommodating price!!!
on May 13, 2023
Posted by: jhancock
With the Pixel 7a, I feel like I am getting a premium experience for a much lower price point. It has many features that are found in flagship and other more expensive smartphones. Some of the major upgrades for the Pixel 7a include the Google Tensor G2 processor that can handle even the most demanding of tasks, such as gaming, video editing, and multitasking along with implementing the Titan M2 security chip. These so far these chips have only been available in the high-end Google smartphones. You also get a version of the advanced Pixel Camera that is capable of great photos including nighttime photographs. The Pixel 7a has a clean and functional design that is nice to hold, sturdy looking and nice to look at. It comes along with a long-lasting battery that for me lasts an entire day. The display refresh rate is great – giving smooth screen changes.
It would be nice if it had more memory / storage – more than the 128G it comes with. This could be done with fixed internal storage or an SDcard type slot. It would also benefit with having a headphone jack. Charging is on the slower side compared to its flagship cousins.

HP Hearing PRO Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids are innovative products that look nothing like a traditional hearing aid. Built to medical device standards and meeting all FDA requirements for safety and efficacy, the HP Hearing PRO features Ear ID™ self-fitting software and technology powered by Nuheara. Ear ID™ has been clinically proven to be substantially equivalent to a professionally-fit hearing aid. The proprietary Ear ID™ software tests the wearer’s individual hearing thresholds from low frequency to high frequency in each ear, then automatically programs the HP Hearing PRO hearing aids for each ear. This ability for the consumer to self-fit through the HP Hearing application, for iOS and Android platform mobile devices, allows a quick and easy acclimation experience for the consumer. The entire acclimation experience takes about 10-15 minutes from unboxing through customization of the user’s personalized profile to accommodate their perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. In addition to the HP Hearing PRO’s capabilities as an OTC hearing aid, this innovative product streams media and phone calls via Bluetooth®. The Active Noise Cancellation minimizes background noise for an immersive sound experience when streaming phone calls or music. Additional features include an HP Hearing app for iOS and Android, Rechargeable built-in Li-ion batteries, and Charge Case for on-the-go charging Most importantly, the HP Hearing PRO has been clinically validated through research completed by the National Acoustic Laboratories to provide a 30% speech understanding improvement in the presence of noise using the directional microphone feature called Focus. This is a significant benefit for consumers in restaurants or social situations where background noise makes understanding speech difficult. Now, at the touch of the HP Hearing app, a wearer can switch the directional microphone settings to Focus on sounds towards their front, quickly allowing for immediate improvement in speech understanding.

BISSELL JetScrub Pet Lightweight Upright Carpet Cleaner was designed by pet owners with busy lives who are more than familiar with the messes pets leave behind. This less than 14-pound, lightweight machine is easy to grab when those inevitable stains strike, and its compact design also makes it perfect for cleaning rugs and smaller carpeted areas in condos and apartments. LED headlights illuminate hidden stains, and the CleanShot pretreater works with the included PET PRO OXY Urine Eliminator formula to tackle the toughest pet stains. The XL DirtLifter PowerBrush has more than twice the tufts of bristles than the competitive lightweight carpet cleaner to lift and remove embedded stains. You’ll be left with dry carpets in about 30 minutes* with JetScrub Pet’s Express Clean Mode, and the EZ Clean Up design makes maintaining the machine after use a breeze. And JetScrub Pet doesn't just clean up after pets, it helps save them, too! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets, too. We’re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.
