Great Reputation but Limited Features
on August 12, 2022
Posted by: BillK
Norton has a long history of providing malware scanning and protection. I have used it in the past and looked to give it another try.
Regarding the Norton 360 Deluxe, the product is fairly easy to install and fairly easy to configure. The windows install is pretty seamless. For Mac, there are more hoops to jump through to get it set up but that is not the fault of Norton but the security features of Mac. However it is worth noting
One thing that I feel is a negative is that the features are difficult to find and manage. Should be a little more accessible. Also, the VPN is a separate charge.
For LifeLock, I can't for the life of me find the application or settings. It may be another install but I cannot find it. While it may be completely set up and running, it's not very clear.
Overall, the program does what it is intended to do for scanning and Norton's history of providing quality protection makes this a good option for protection. For LifeLock, again it may be my issue, but it's touch to find how it is set up.

Good Quality and Great Specs
on July 25, 2022
Posted by: BillK
First, Dell always makes a quiality computer and this one is no exception. Let's start with the Pro's:
* Amazing screen. Very high quality FHD+ screen that is very crisp.
* Very small bezels. I really like the trend of small bezels for larger screens.
* Latest processor family. The 12th generation Intel processor is a nice touch. Too often you see companies putting in a non current processor to save some money.
* 16GB RAM - this should be the minimum of any computer you buy these days. To be able to keep up the trends in technology and operating systems, this is the way to go.
* Small and lightweight - Even with the large screen this is thin and light weight. Not a problem to carry around.
* USB C charging - no more proprietary charger which is a great feature.
* Metal body is premium feel
Cons:
* Price - I havent priced this one out against comparable systems but a price over $2000 seems a bit high.
* Keyboard - feels a bit cheap.
* Maybe an i9 processor for the price?
Overall this is a great machine if you are looking for a mid - high range specs. It will serve you well.

Great Recovery and Warm Up Tool
on July 16, 2022
Posted by: BillK
As an avid runner and biker at 51, recovery is difficult and my legs can feel heavy and sore after a workout. These Hyperice recovery boots provide a real recovery tool. They are comfortable to wear and will fit snugly once you get the compression settings how you want them. They are quiet and are easy to wear when relaxing after a hard workout.
I also use them to warm up before a run when my legs are needing some additional work before heading out.
The areas of my legs that have most issues are my calves and hamstrings. These boots have multiple settings to focus on specific areas to provide levels of compression right for the recovery you need. The Zone Boots feature is great when you want to focus on a particular area on a session by session basis.
The boots also connect to the Hyperice app on your phone via Bluetooth to provide additional settings and management of your sessions. I have found this very useful when using the boots to manage my recovery.
If you are active and find your legs need a bit more of a recovery boost, I would highly recommend these for your recovery plans.

Cube GPS Tracker can be placed discretely in your vehicle so you can track where it goes, how long it spends there, and at what speed it travels. Cube gathers data via GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cell tower triangulation then reports the data back via the LTE-M data plan. Plans start at $16.50/Month.; Ideal for theft recovery, fleet tracking or just keeping an eye on your valuables. Cube GPS can be hardwired into vehicles using optional OBD II plug or wired directly to the battery with the hardwire kit.; Thieves today know exactly where to go to disable the factory GPS on newer cars. Cube GPS can be a backup plan to help with recovery. Even if the thief removes the cables from the battery the Cube will still report using its own battery for up to two weeks.

Solid Device but High Monthly Cost
on May 23, 2022
Posted by: BillK
Great idea for a tracking device but loses some points in the setup and monthly cost. I had some issues getting the device to recognize the network and track but with some work was able to get it tracking. The product is solidly made and will handle some punishment depending on how you plan to use it. I want to use it as a security device to tracking my four wheel UTV if it is moved or stolen. Clearly having this on the vehicle will not cause damage to the product.
The biggest issue I have is the monthly price for the service. The device uses a cellular network (unsure which one or if it matters). The monthly cost is $19.99 per month our you can purchase a year for $99. For my purposes of protecting my UTV, I don't plan on using the device very often (and hopefully not at all). To pay $20 per month seems a bit high for what is probably minimal network usage. Not sure of Cube's cost structure but this still seems excessive.
Overall I think the device is solid and the idea is a good but the monthly cost may be a bit much.

Good Basic Spec Computer
on February 13, 2022
Posted by: BillK
from Minnesota
This desktop, in terms of specifications, is not the most powerful on the market. It's is not meant for gaming or video editing. For daily browsing, photo management, cloud applications, etc. it is a great desktop to use. It has a large 1TB drive and will run Windows 11 just fine.
For basic work or school from home tasks, this computer will work fine.

Does What It Claims....Well
on February 1, 2022
Posted by: BillK
from MN
I was interested to try this product to see how it provided a better solution for face cleaning than a towel and soap could provide. I work out 60-90 minutes per day so I end up sweating ALOT. It's touch to keep my skin clean and not have the pimples that come from the sweat. I have found the Luna to be a great option. Its definitely more comfortable than a washcloth. It also seems to clean more completely. The only downside is the price. However, if you have issues with face blemishes, this definitely a worthy investment.

Great Racing Wheel!
on January 26, 2022
Posted by: BillK
from Minnesota
Since I love racing games, I was excited to try out this racing wheel. First impressions are it is very sturdy and feel authentic to what a wheel should feel like. It's responsive but not "loose" when driving. The controls are in a good position and easy to reach. The setup and configuration of the device is intuitive as well. I would highly recommend this product!

Hydration reminder is a great feature

Posted by: BillK
from Minnesota
There is a lot of good with this bottle. It’s a good size and well made. It’s has several features that add to the value. The UV sterilization is nice but the hydration reminder and temperature sensor are fantastic. The battery life is really good as well.

Good Warming Levels
on December 23, 2021
Posted by: BillK
from Minnesota
This unit provides good warming levels to match the needs of your sore neck and upper back. It’s fairly lightweight and portable so you can take it with you as you need. The vibrating massage is OK but don’t expect it to penetrate deep. Overall, this is a good product for its purpose.

Interesting Concept with Good Results
on November 27, 2021
Posted by: BillK
from Minnesota
Overall these are not bad smart glasses. The battery life is pretty good. The design, while not stylish, is useable. The sound is good and the ability for the device to keep sound to a level only you can hear is nice as well.
These do work via bluetooth so you do need to have your phone handy. They are easy to set up with the Alexa app.
