Great option for smart three way switch
on June 10, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
The TP Link smart three way switch works exactly as advertised. You can easily control your three way switch with your smart phone, google home, or amazon echo.
The switch was easy to install, if you know how to wire a normal three way switch. After that I went through the setup process, which was pretty easy and I was up and running. It works pretty well, I haven’t ran into any huge issues.
It works well with my google home, I can turn the hall light off from the other room, which is nice.
My only complaint is the lack of SmartThings support. I’m a big smart things user and I’d love to get these switch’s in the loop with the rest of my smart home devices. However, looking at the app (the kasa app), it seems like they are looking to compete directly with SmartThings, so it makes sense for this omission.
The app is easy to use and intuitive. Once it supports more devices I could definitely see this being a competitor in the smart home space. I’m interested to see how it turns out.
Overall, if you want to control a three way switch via WiFi from your phone, google home, or amazon echo, look no further.

Out of this world sound
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
I felt like I was in a movie theater. The sound that came out of these headphones were absolutely cinema quality. If you want really good sound from your tv but, need to stay quiet, you should check these out.
These surround sound headphones features more options than I know what to do with, switches for compression, a matrix switch, and settings for every type of media profiles (cinema, sports, music, etc.). I was impressed with how much the compression switch changed the sound. It added some serious low end to the sound that I really like. I couldn't really tell the difference with matrix on or off but, your ears may be more atuned.
You can hook these up using HDMI arc, optical video, or auxiliary cable. I used the optical audio and didn't have any problems.
My biggest complaint is that it is difficult to use these with my Sony sound bar. I use my TVs HDMI arc port to connect to my sound bar and then use the sound bar to do all of my HDMI switching. Unfortunately with this setup, I couldn't find a way to get these headphones added to the system and be able to use my sound bar as a switcher. I ended up just using opticy audio from the tv to the headphones. It worked well for using the headphones on TV input but, since everything else runs through the soundbar, I can't use my other inputs. I'm sure there is a way around this but, there isn't any information readily available on how to set this up.
I don't think you'll be disappointed if your in the market for tv headphones, these will definitely fit the mold for that if you can deal with the quirks of soundbar integration (if you have one).

Blast from the past
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
This little Polaroid works just like the ones from back in the day. It's incredibly easy to use and takes fairly decent quality pictures.
Don't expect any super fancy features, this is an old school Polaroid in a new shell. It has a flash, a switch to adjust the focal length, and a timer button. It also has a mount for a tripod.
It all works pretty easy and seems fairly well built. The film is pretty expensive but, all Polaroid film is expensive.
If you're looking for a Polaroid that works just like you remember, this is the one to get.

Great Low Cost Gaming Laptop
on May 12, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
For the price, you're getting a real bang for your buck. I was a little weary with an i5 processor. I thought it wouldn't handle games but, the 1050ti on board picks up all the slack off the lower power processor. It handled fortnite great. Never a hiccup or stutter.
Boot times are fast due to the SSD. My only complaint is that I'll probably fill up 256 gb fairly quickly.

I was also impressed with the weight of this rig. I've seen other gaming laptops that weigh as much as a Buick but, this one seems fairly portable. It's no Ultrabook but, it's not terrible.
My biggest complaint, all be it slightly nitpicky, is the keyboard backlight. It goes if after 30 seconds of inactivity and per Acer's website, there's no changing this. This wouldn't be a huge issue if the letters on the keys weren't completely invisible in the dark. So keep that in mind.
Battery life is ok. 4 ish hours. Definitely a laptop meant to be plugged in.
I think if you're looking for a gaming laptop in this price range, you'll be pretty pleased with this one.

Great Idea with a few shortcomings
on April 25, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
The Ecobee Switch + is a pretty cool gadget on paper, a voice controlled smart switch with Alexa built in. And it works just like it's advertised, which is awesome.
Installing is just like installing any other light switch, the companion app has some pretty detailed instructions with videos but, it still is electrical wiring do be careful.
I had a few hiccups getting everything paired, the app crashed once and carried everything to get stuck but, once it got caught up everything was up and running.
The switch allows you to switch lights off like a normal switch and control then with Alexa his the built-in microphones and speakers.
The microphones and speaker work ok. The microphone had a hard time picking up my voice from across the room. The speaker is what you would expect it if a tiny speaker. It is functional and clear but, wouldn't be good for music, which I don't believe is supported. You can check the weather and time and things like that which is also cool.
It features a switch to turn off the always listing if you don't like the idea of Alexa listening to you and another button to manually start Alexa. I never had any problems with Alexa once I got thoughts started and the switch also works with smart things and Google Assistant. Do, you can control the switch with your Google home.
Shortcomings ---
My biggest complaint is that the switch doesn't support dimming. As someone who using coming a lot I find it hard to justify a light switch at this price point without dimming functionality.

I also want too impressed with Alexa. I've gotten used to Google Assistant and had a hard time figuring out the exact phrase to turn the lights on and off. I actually had to change the name of the lights from "Dining room" to "Dining Room lights" because Alexa would not register the phrase unless I specifically named it "lights". I wish Google Assistant was built in also but, I guess that could always be done via software updates.
I also had a strange yellow light that blocked on my unit for a few days that was really annoying, no idea what it meant but, it eventually stopped blinking on it's own.
Overall, the switch does exactly what it advertises and it does it well. If you are looking for something like what this light does, you will enjoy it. I just feel is missing a few things for me to justify the price.

One Fancy Toothbrush
on April 2, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
I honestly had no idea these Sonicare toothbrushes were this good. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to a regular toothbrush. My teeth are honestly the cleanest they've ever been in their lives.
The 5100 model adds a bunch of extra features to a standard Sonicare that are really awesome. At it's core it still uses the same Sonic wave technology that all Sonicare toothbrushes use to force plaque off of your teeth. Trust me it works.
It also includes special modes for cleaning your gums that will adjust the way the toothbrush operates to clean your gums better. Not sure if the special modes works any differently but, my ums are clean so I guess it's working. It also has a white mode which supposedly will remove stains from your teeth. My teeth don't really have too many stains so I'm not sure if this function works.
It also has a built-in sensor that vibrates if you are brushing too hard, it's weird but, pretty cool and will keep you from harming your gums. The built-in timer is one of my favorite features, it takes all of the guess work out of it. It'll let you know once you've brushed each section of your teeth long enough.
I've never really pushed the battery life to the test but, I have left it off the charger for about a week and it made it through the week with battery left over. So I wouldn't doubt the advertised 2 weeks.
Overall, this is the best toothbrush I've ever used. Whether or not all of the bells and whistles are worth the extra money over the standard Sonicare are up to you but, I don't think you will be unhappy with this one.

For the price, can't be beat
on March 15, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
If you're looking for some reasonably priced Bluetooth headphones, these should definitely be on your list.
The sounds is great, rich and clear. They aren't $300 quality but, I really doubt you could tell a whole lot of difference.
The battery life is great, it should last you a whole day off average listening.
Connectivity is also great, I haven't experienced any drops connected to my phone.
Call quality is average, the mic is clear but, it doesn't sound awesome. It's functional, which I guess is what counts.
My biggest complaint is they may get somewhat uncomfortable with smaller ears and they are pretty goofy looking. B if you can get passed that, you really can't beat them for the price.

You get what you pay for
on March 15, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
If you're expecting audiophile level quality and amazing noise cancelling features, these aren't for you. These are budget noise cancelling headphones. If you take a look at the price of competing headphones, ones with noise cancellation are almost double the price and it shows. It works too some extent but, not near as good as the high quality headphones or there.
The sound again, is ok. It's not great but, not terrible. It's on par with most headphones in this price range, probably on the lower end of the spectrum though. The sounds is just not as full and rich as other headphones at this price point and the nose cancellation features don't work well enough to warrant this price.
Overall, I think you're better off just getting headphones at this price without nose cancellation. The sound quality trade off is just not worth it.

Great Budget TV
on March 6, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
If you are in the market for a budget 4k TV, this Hisense TV might just be for you.
It supports all of the specs you would expect, 4k, auto upscaling, and HDR which do look great. Don't get me wrong if you place this up next to a TV of similar size and double or triple the price you will see a difference in picture quality; contrast, color representation, etc. But, for the price I think you get a really good picture. My only complaint is that it can be somewhat hard to see when a really dark scene is displayed.
The smart features are pretty good, it comes with the basics that will get you by, Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, YouTube, and a ton of no name random apps that I've never heard of. They all work pretty well. If you've used any of these apps on other smart TVs or streaming boxes, you'll be right at home. I did have some problems with connection issues. I have a very good router, less than 20 feet away so I doubt connectivity was the problem. I wouldn't buy this TV for the apps, the picture quality for the size is well enough to justify the purchase.
Overall, very nice Budget TV.

Good Antivirus, too many adds
on February 23, 2018
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
AVG has always been a go to for me because they had a free option. This is the first paid version I've used and I'm happy with the performance. I haven't noticed any slowdown in my computer since I've installed the software and I haven't got a virus on my computer. So, by those standards I'd say it is doing what it should.
The only reason I didn't give this product is the amount of ads that still exist even after installing the paid version. I still get notifications quite frequently about purchasing some extra package. It is somewhat annoying thus, the 4 stars instead of 5.

how do i use a flashdrive
Just plug it into the USB port, then go to "file explorer". In the left hand column of icons you should see your flashdrive. It will be near the "c:" drive on the list. Just drag and drop files to that icon to add things to the flash drive.
