More than just your average entry level pre-built
on March 26, 2024
Posted by: Section8ght
The Asus ROG Strix G16CHR gaming desktop isn't just your run-of-the-mill entry-level pre-built gaming PC; it's a powerhouse packed with top-tier components that deliver an unparalleled gaming experience. From its robust hardware to its stunning aesthetics, this gaming desktop sets a new standard for what a pre-built PC can offer.
I’m going to jump straight into the meat and potatoes of the system - the components. The Asus ROG Strix G16CHR leaves no stone unturned when it comes to performance for an off the shelf plug and play gaming desktop. Featuring an Asus B760 motherboard paired with an Intel i7 14700F CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a GeForce RTX 4060Ti GPU, and a WIFI 6 antenna, this gaming desktop is ready to tackle even the most demanding games with ease. The inclusion of two WD SN560 1TB SSDs plenty of starting storage for your games, while the liquid cooling radiator with two 240mm fans keeps temperatures in check even during intense gaming sessions. To power it all Asus has included an 80 Plus Gold 750 watt semi modular power supply. The result? Blazing operating speeds at optimal temperatures, with minimal fan noise to boot.
But performance isn't the only thing that sets the Asus ROG Strix G16CHR apart. Its aesthetics are equally impressive, with RGB lighting both inside and outside the PC case. The internal RGB lighting adds a touch of flair to the build, while the lightning bolt RGB on the exterior case adds a striking visual element that sets it apart from the competition. It's a feast for the eyes, whether you're gaming in the dark or showcasing your setup to friends.
While the Asus ROG Strix G16CHR excels in many areas, wire management could be improved. However, considering that it's a pre-built PC, the wire management is satisfactory and doesn't detract from the overall performance and aesthetics of the system.
This PC has everything you need or could want to jump straight into AAA gaming, multi-tasking, hardcore editing and video creation without any worries of lack of performance, power, or connectivity to get the task done. It has plenty of the usual ports for your peripherals on the rear and includes front ports of 2 USB-C, 2 USB-A 3.0, 3.5mm headphone jack and mic jack.
Ok, so opinion and experience of putting this PC into action…. Simply amazing and overly satisfying!!! Gameplay is buttery smooth even at High to Ultra settings. Granted, I play on 1080p monitors, but now may have to upgrade to some 4K monitors just to utilize the power available of this pc. I’ve put in some hours on both Diablo IV and God of War both at Ultra settings and did not skip a beat on any graphics. I did have the DLSS activated which bumps up fps on 40 series gpu’s, but it is worth it. The Ray-Tracing and just overall graphics and speed at which you are capable with this pre-built PC will blow your mind. The PC did not max out at high temps and there was literally 0 fan noise compared to my previous rig. This PC has renewed my interest in some other games that I have set aside due to lack luster graphics and performance. I have enjoyed playing several older games and newer games that demand higher power and graphic availability and the RTX 4060TI and 14th gen Intel cpu have unleashed my gaming library!
I could go on an entire dissertation about the power and performance of this rig, provide benchmark numbers, and so on, but there is no need. If you are into PC gaming, know the current state of the PC market for parts, and do not want the hassle of spending several thousand dollars to build your own, this is where you want to look. I promise you; you will not be disappointed. This Asus PC also leaves a bit of flex for upgrades. There is a place on the front case to add a front 240mm intake fan, change some wiring, change to rgb fans, or whatever fits your fancy if you want to showcase the build. But out of the box, the PC has optimal power, cooling, air flow, aesthetics, and sustainability to lend to a great gaming experience and is worthy of being labeled a Gaming Desktop PC.

Asus has really stepped their game up and invited everyone into the gaming community at a reasonable price point with all the components you need to game enjoyably, efficiently, and effectively. This Asus ROG setup will undeniably change the market for pre-built gaming pc’s.

Reveloutionary futuristic Comfort and Style
on February 24, 2024
Posted by: Section8ght
Embarking on my journey with the new Bose Open Air Earbuds has been nothing short of a revelation. These open air earbuds is what I have been waiting for since the earbud craze has blossomed but overall comfort hasn’t. These earbuds redefine the concept of comfort and style, offering a listening experience that transcends traditional boundaries.
The comfort is the first thing that seriously turned me on to these earbuds. The Bose Open Air Earbuds boast an unparalleled level of comfort that is truly unmatched. There design allows them to be worn like a pair of clip-on earrings but with less clip. With zero pressure in or around the ear, wearing them feels like a breath of fresh air. It's as if they were custom-made to fit seamlessly onto my ears, allowing me to enjoy my music for hours on end without any discomfort whatsoever.
Adding to their comfort is their feather-lightweight design, making them almost unnoticeable upon wearing. With the Bose Open Air Earbuds, it's like wearing a whisper on my ears. This lightweight construction enhances the overall listening experience, allowing me to stay immersed in my music with the amazing immersion mode setting. Depending on your environment it literally seems as if you are at a concert or live viewing of a movie. There is a motion immersion that has the music envelope you all around keeping the music balanced. The other mode option is the “Still” setting that is simply amazing. While remaining in one spot, when you turn your or move your head in any direction, it seems as if the music remains emmanting from a direct source like a stage so the sound transfers between the buds to make you feel as if you are there in person at a concert. Very cool feature but not personally used much because I don’t plan on sitting still too much with these earbuds.
But comfort isn't the only area where these earbuds excel. Their secure fit instills confidence, especially during workouts or active pursuits. I can move freely without worrying about them coming loose or falling out, ensuring uninterrupted enjoyment of my music even in the most dynamic of situations. So much better than traditional earbuds that I’ve felt that I need to readjust during a jog or workout.
Battery life is another area where the Bose Open Air Earbuds shine. With all-day battery life, I can go about my day without constantly fretting about recharging. Whether I'm commuting, working, or hitting the gym, these earbuds have the stamina to keep up with me every step of the way. And I have worn these earbuds literally all day (for at least an 8 – 10 hour work shift).
In terms of aesthetics, these earbuds are nothing short of a fashion statement. The sleek, minimalist design gives them a sophisticated and futuristic appeal, almost resembling jewelry or earrings to onlookers. It's a subtle yet stylish addition to my ensemble, and I having not been a typical person that wears earrings would absolutely wear these in public and have no problem passing them off as gauged hoop earrings.
So other than the immersion modes, battery life, and comfort, the overall performance may take a bit of dip for those wanting that super “Bose” hitting bass and sound. Yes, the earbuds sound amazing, and they do get volume and a full spectrum of sound, but, they do get overpowered by your environment sometimes. I love the fact that I can be fully immersed in my music and still be aware of my surroundings as these earbuds do enter the ear canal at all. So much better than the “hear through” option of other earbuds that sounds mechanical or tinny. The open air earbuds allow you to hear as you hear. I can be listening to music and hold a conversation at the same time, simply amazing. Phone calls are a bit of a disappointment. I feel as if I need both buds in to hear my recipient clearly and loud enough. With only one I do not get enough volume to hear even with it at 100%. It may be me needing to adjust to the design, but if that’s all that is a slight negative, I will take it all day with the provided comfort and music quality of these earbuds.
In conclusion, the Bose Open Air Earbuds redefine what it means to enjoy music in comfort and style. With their unmatched comfort, lightweight design, secure fit, all-day battery life, and fashionable appearance, they set a new standard for wireless earbuds. If you're in search of earbuds that offer the perfect blend of comfort, performance, and style, look no further than the Bose Open Air Earbuds.

Corsair K65 Plus - Masterpiece of Versatility
on February 13, 2024
Posted by: Section8ght
Having recently upgraded to the new Corsair K65 Plus Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, I can confidently say that it has transformed my opinion on the smaller, but not mini keyboard. This keyboard embodies a perfect blend of robust construction, compact design, and cutting-edge technology that caters to the needs of gamers and typists alike. It is coming in at a new 75% size that is the perfect median between the smaller mini (60%) keyboards and the old reliable full-size keyboards. At first glance, the Corsair K65 Plus 75% looks like an adaptation of both the 65 and full TKL (Tenkeyless) keyboards with a hint of the mini 60%. But it is truly going to break new ground that I think everyone will love.

Out of the box you can undoubtedly see and feel the build quality. It is constructed with a robust PC and steel chassis that lends a premium look to the keyboard and ensures durability and sturdiness. It is a hefty keyboard weighing in at 922g with a size measuring 320x135x35mm, so it may not be the best option as a travel long keyboard although I may sacrifice a little comfort of the weight to carry this bad boy with me. It's a reassuring feeling to have a keyboard that can withstand the rigors of intense gaming sessions and portability without flexing or creaking under pressure. It comes packed with Corsairs Red linear mechanical switches and PBT dye-sublimated single shot keycaps, both being able to be swapped out to your personal preference of switches or keycaps. As they are, they are exceptionally smooth and satisfying to type with just the right amount of travel and tick tack sound. There is a built-in feature of sound dampening foam that gently quiets some of the roughness of the mechanical type sounds. It strikes the perfect balance between the tactile feedback of mechanical switches and the need for a quieter typing experience, making it suitable for both gaming and office environments. There is the iCue Corsair rgb backlighting for the keyboard that you would expect with any Corsair lineup. I do wish however that they included translucent double shot PBT keycaps that allowed for the rgb lighting to shine through. I will be upgrading in the near future when they are available for the K65 Plus for sure.
The 75% size of the keyboard strikes a perfect balance between functionality and space-saving. It offers all the essential keys without the unnecessary bulk, making it ideal for both gaming setups and workstations where desk space is at a premium. The compact design doesn't compromise usability, delivering a comfortable typing experience without sacrificing key functions. You still get the arrow keys, PgUp/PgDn, Delete, and Home keys. It has included the multi-functional rotary dial that I have come to love on all my keyboards. The function is easily changed with use of the FN key plus one of the assigned functions on the arrow keys for very convenient and easy transition of use for the rotary. There is an on/off button on the left side for the rgb lighting to quickly switch on and off the lighting without delay and save battery life. There are also connectivity switches for both Mac and Win and to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or 2.4ghz fob. With the ability to connect to up to three separate devices via Bluetooth, switching between devices is seamless and hassle-free.
Another underappreciated feature that I personally enjoy included in the build is the multi position fold out legs and the rubber feet allowing for precise setting and comfort when placed on the desk or workstation. There is no worry that the keyboard will remain where I place it and I can be comfortable for long work or gaming sessions.
Battery life is another area where the K65 Plus excels. Installed is a 4200mAH Polymer Li-ion battery that offers up to 260+ hours of battery life with no backlighting depending on the level or usage. I am confident in knowing that I will be able to go days without having to worry about recharging. It's a testament to the efficiency of the keyboard's power management system, allowing for extended gaming or work sessions without interruption.
In conclusion, the Corsair K65 Plus Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a masterpiece of versatility and performance. From its sturdy steel frame to its compact design, innovative sound dampening technology, and multiple connectivity options, it's a keyboard that ticks all the boxes for me and anyone wanting a versatile keyboard that will last the test of time. This keyboard has without a doubt become my favorite go to keyboard for both gaming and work. If you're in the market for a keyboard that offers the perfect blend of form and function, look no further than the K65 Plus Wireless.

J Lab's sonic marvel at a great value
on February 4, 2024
Posted by: Section8ght
I recently picked up a new set of ear buds with the JLAB EPIC LAB EDITION ANC True Wireless, and having been a customer of J Lab products in the past I was expecting a pure sounding ear bud hat was sure to impress. I have not been disappointed, in fact I am overwhelmingly impressed with these updated buds. These earbuds bring a harmonious blend of premium features, exceptional sound quality, and thoughtful design that rivals some of the big brand names in the market.
First and foremost, let's talk about the showstopper - the aluminum charging case. It's not just a case; it's a sleek, sturdy companion that exudes quality. The dual charging capability, be it wirelessly or through the USB-C cable, offers a versatile charging experience. With the charging case offering up to 50 plus hours of playtime, I rarely find myself reaching for the charging cable. It's a testament to the efficiency and longevity of these earbuds.
The earbuds themselves are a marvel of engineering, providing a snug fit that feels secure without sacrificing comfort. The inclusion of multiple ear fittings, including those luxurious foam fittings, ensures that finding the perfect fit is not cumbersome. Whether I'm on a jog or immersing myself in a streaming marathon, these earbuds stay put and remain comfortable throughout.
One standout feature is the JLAB app, which takes customization to the next level. I rarely utilize the companion apps with ear buds but this J Lab app actually works wonders. The app's equalizer allows for fine-tuning sound adjustments, catering to individual preferences. It's a level of control over the audio experience that I didn't expect from earbuds in this price range. The ability to personalize the sound profile enhances the overall listening pleasure.
One addition that these ear buds brings to the table is the Bluetooth LE audio. The charging case houses not only the ear buds but also the USB-C dongle that plugs into your pc or laptop for low latency and enhanced audio. I’m not sold on this feature as of yet because it is an extra step, not much, but still having to plug in a usb-c type adapter for better sound for ear buds that I don’t plan on using with my pc. It does work and I’m sure there is a target audience, but the wireless Bluetooth audio of these earbuds is so good that I personally do not feel the need for this added feature.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room - value. The JLAB EPIC LAB EDITION ANC earbuds don't just compete with the big brand names; they stand tall as a worthy competitor. The features packed into these earbuds, from the premium charging case to the customizable sound experience, make them an absolute steal at their price point. Great value for a great product. I’m impressed and very happy with these ear buds.

Another leap forward for GoPro
on November 30, 2023
Posted by: Section8ght
Moving up from my reliable GoPro Hero 5 Black to the Hero 12 Black Action Camera Bundle has truly been a transformative experience. The advancements in this latest model have truly impressed me, offering a host of features that enhance my overall adventure capturing and creating experience. This bundle not only represents a significant upgrade but also introduces features that make it very intuitive and user friendly.
A few of the notable improvements is the inclusion of voice control, allowing for hands-free operation, a front view screen, and the ability to use a Bluetooth or wireless microphone. The introduction of voice control is a hands-free delight. Being able to initiate recording or snap a photo with a simple command is not just convenient; it adds a bit of spontaneity to my shots. The camera's front screen viewing adds another layer of usability, making it easier to frame shots and monitor recordings when in selfie mode. The versatility to use Bluetooth or a wireless microphone allows me to enhance my audio experience effortlessly. Whether I'm narrating my experiences or capturing ambient sounds, the Hero 12 excels in delivering quality audio whether via the built-in microphones or the ability to add an additional mic.
The camera's image and video quality at 4K resolution are impressive, delivering clear and detailed visuals. With vibrant colors and sharper details, the Hero 12's lens seems to have a knack for transforming ordinary scenes into cinematic moments. The improved image stabilization contributes to smoother footage even in challenging conditions, whether I'm in motion or amidst the action, the Hero 12 ensures my footage is exceptionally smooth, a noticeable improvement over the Hero 5. It's a remarkable enhancement, especially when reliving high-energy moments or trying to keep up with my young children amid having fun.

A noteworthy aspect of the HERO 12 is its mod-ready design, allowing for customization with various accessories and mods. This means I can customize my Hero 12 to suit specific needs or creative visions, expanding its capabilities as my adventures evolve. I can simply twist the front the lens off and add a different lens or snap on an attachment that is needed for a specific scene or environment. I have yet to purchase any additional mods that are available but am excited about the possibilities.
Navigating through the menu and adjusting settings is intuitive and user-friendly, thanks to the responsive touchscreen. The overall user interface is well-crafted, making it easy to frame shots and access features with minimal effort.
In addition to the camera's standout features, the bundle includes essential extras making for an overall enjoyable experience. The carrying case provides a secure haven for all my GoPro essentials, keeping them organized and ready for action. The head strap adds a hands free point of view recording and ensures a snug fit during dynamic activities. The included two Enduro batteries means I'm well-prepared for extended shoots and the float handler adds an extra layer of security, ensuring my Hero 12 stays afloat during water-centric adventures. The handler is also helpful for recording and keeping my fingers out of the shot or even using as a small selfie stick.
The GoPro HERO 12 Black Action Camera bundle proves to be a significant upgrade, particularly for those transitioning from older models of GoPro action cams. With features such as voice control, new enduro batteries, mod-ready design, front screen viewing, exceptional image quality, and wireless mic capability, it is an exceptional upgrade for the usual GoPro price. The included bundle accessories further contribute to its versatility, and desirability, making it a well-rounded package for anyone looking to elevate their action-capturing capabilities. I highly recommend this camera for those seeking both performance and convenience.

The Ridge is a minimalist, RFID blocking wallet. The main cardholder uses elastic to expand to hold up to 12 IDs and credit cards. The typical leather bifold gets packed with faded receipts and unnecessary cards, resembling something more like a suitcase than a wallet. The Ridge is minimalist without being limiting. It’s about carrying less but always having what you need.

Great gift for the Dad who is downsizing, but...
on November 23, 2023
Posted by: Section8ght
I’ve been wanting to upgrade and consolidate my wallet from the traditional bifold/trifold wallets of yester-year and recently got my hands on the Ridge aluminum wallet in the sleek gun metal color, complete with a cash strap. I wanted to love this wallet and while it has some attractive features, there are a couple of aspects that it has fell short and may not make it the perfect fit for everyone.
Let's start with the positives. The aluminum construction is sturdy and gives the wallet a premium feel. The gun metal color adds a touch of sophistication, making it a stylish accessory. The inclusion of a cash strap is a convenient feature for those who prefer carrying some bills alongside their cards. The wallet, being very slim and sleek, fits very easily in any pocket in your jeans, vest, shirt, or even a small strap bag. I have enjoyed slipping the wallet in and out of various pockets and not feeling uncomfortable wherever I placed it.
However, the design of the elastic webbed straps, while innovative and giving a bit of flexibility for adding multiple cards, can be a bit tricky for certain card types. The wallet may not be the most accommodating for paper cards, as the straps can make it a bit cumbersome to slide them in and out having the corner of the cards get caught and poking through. This is something to consider if you have a lot of business cards or any other type of cards that aren't the standard plastic variety.
Additionally, fanning out the cards can be a bit challenging due to the elastic webbing. If you're used to quickly flipping through your cards, you might find this process a bit less seamless than with a traditional wallet.
That being said, if you primarily use standard plastic cards and appreciate the modern, minimalist design, the Ridge aluminum wallet could still be a great choice. The durability and RFID-blocking capabilities are added bonuses for those who prioritize security and longevity in their wallet.
In conclusion, the Ridge aluminum wallet in gun metal with a cash strap is a solid choice with a premium feel and innovative design. While it may not be the best fit for paper cards and can make fanning out cards a bit challenging, its durability and sleek appearance make it a compelling option for those who prioritize style and security in a minimalist wallet.

Great addition to the portable creative kit
on November 21, 2023
Posted by: Section8ght
The Canon PowerShot V10 is a unique and helpful addition for any vlogging or content creation endeavors. I especially enjoy it for recording my daughters dance and tik tok adventures which they are extremely creative and adventurous, and this camera saves my and their smartphone’s from probable damage from compromising positions and storage depletion.
The small form factor of the PowerShot V10 makes it impressively portable. It's lightweight and compact, allowing for easy carrying for on-the-go adventures. This camera's size is a perfect balance between being convenient to carry and delivering high-quality video recording.
The built-in adjustable stand is the perfect addition that brings practicality to various shooting scenarios. Whether setting up shots on uneven surfaces or recording in different environments, the adjustable stand provides stability and flexibility. It eliminates the need for additional equipment and simplifies the process of capturing unique shots.
The LCD swivel screen is a fantastic feature that adds to the camera's versatility. It allows for easy framing of shots from different angles and enhances the overall creative possibilities. The swivel screen is particularly handy when shooting in unconventional positions or capturing content in challenging environments, and especially handy when vlogging and needing to stay in frame and observing what your audience is viewing.
Sound quality is crucial for vlogging and the PowerShot V10 is no slouch in this aspect. The multiple microphones integrated into the camera ensure crystal-clear voice and sound recording. This feature is especially valuable when recording in noisy environments or when conducting interviews on the fly. The result is close to professional-grade audio without the need for external microphones.
The inclusion of a free companion app for live streaming is a standout feature. It seamlessly connects with my smartphone, providing a convenient way to live stream directly from the camera. This capability has elevated my ability to engage with my audience in real-time and share moments as they unfold while using my smartphone in other ways without interruption.
The camera's multiple aspect ratio recording options allow for creative flexibility. Whether I'm recording content for different platforms or experimenting with cinematic styles, the PowerShot V10 accommodates various aspect ratios to suit my creative vision. All of this is done in/on the camera without post editing saving so much time.
Navigating through the menu and utilizing the camera's functions is straightforward and user-friendly. The intuitive buttons and well-organized menu system make it easy to access settings on the fly. This simplicity in operation doesn't compromise on advanced features, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced users.
In summary, the Canon PowerShot V10 proves to be a reliable and feature-rich choice for vloggers , content creators, and recreational recorders. Its small form factor, built-in adjustable stand, LCD swivel screen, multiple microphones, free companion app for live streaming, multiple aspect ratio recording, and user-friendly interface collectively contribute to a seamless and enjoyable content creation experience. This camera has become an indispensable tool in my creative toolkit, consistently delivering on both performance and convenience. If you're in search of a capable digital camera for vlogging, the PowerShot V10 is undoubtedly worth considering.

Innovative, feature packed, dashcam
on November 10, 2023
Posted by: Section8ght
I was able to get my hands on the Nextbase iQ 1k dashcam, and it is truly a marvelous innovation in terms of dash cams. I want to love it full heartedly but am stumbling my way to truly gravitating full in on the iQ. It is a subscription-based monitoring setup for premium features starting at $10 monthly for the “Protect” plan and up to $20 for the “Protect Plus” highest plan. You can pay annually $100 - $200 respectively and there is a free trial to test drive the dash cam. And of course, the dashcam can be used independent of any subscription as just a typical dashcam with footage available physically by SD card. Time will tell if or which plan I decide to go in on.
First off, the package comes with a variety of power options for installation, including fuse tap adapters and an OBD power cable. This flexibility ensures that you can install the dashcam according to your vehicle's configuration and your preferences whether you want permanent direct power or the ability to easily remove the dashcam totally if need be. It's great to have multiple options that make the installation process smooth and hassle-free. The overall installation itself is very straightforward, just download the app, stick the dashcam on your windshield, and follow along with the instructions. I opted for the fuse tap for a permanent install because I have an earlier model Nextbase dashcam in one vehicle that has worked wonderfully for me. Plus, all the necessary hardware is provided to make a simple and clean installation for even the novice diy’er.
The iQ 1k dashcam's dual-camera system is impressive. The 1080p front camera provides clear and detailed footage of the road ahead. It's perfect for capturing incidents, accidents, or just the scenic beauty of your drives. The secondary integrated 1080p cabin camera is a valuable addition, especially for rideshare drivers or anyone who wants to record events inside the vehicle. The dual-camera setup covers all angles and provides comprehensive coverage. There is the option to add a rear-view camera if you want total coverage. The integrated microphones on the dashcam are high quality as they pick up every sound, even from outside the vehicle. I was truly impressed with the combination of video and audio quality of this 1080p dashcam. All footage recorded from the iQ dashcam is recorded directly to an included 64gb microSD card and is organized in a library via the iQ app for easy viewing, also can be saved via cloud storage if you opt for one of the subscription plans. All of the footage is accessible 24/7 from anywhere as long as the iQ dashcam is connected to power and has the always 4G connection. That is the one thing that is pushing me towards the “Protect” plan. It allows me to view and connect to the dashcam virtually anywhere, and even speak through the speaker inside the vehicle.
The integration of Roadwatch AI for all road telemetry and car info along with voice control is an innovative feature. I have yet to be able to test this feature because it says coming soon on my iQ app along with the Guardian Mode. From what I can tell, it’s like having a co-pilot with a radar and cockpit system controls with you on every journey. Roadwatch AI offers valuable information about your surroundings, including the speed, and distance of other vehicles. It provides important telemetry data that can be useful for analyzing your driving and ensuring safety on the road, and great for documenting incidents for insurance purposes.
One of the most meaningful features of the iQ 1k dashcam is its "witness mode” with voice control. In this mode, you can simply give a voice command to your iQ cam to start witness mode to live-stream incidents or emergencies to an emergency contact that you designate via the Nextbase app. When activated, the iQ cam sends a link for your emergency contact to join in on a live stream to view the incident. This is huge for drivers who need immediate assistance and ensuring help is on the way when you need it the most. It adds an extra layer of security, especially in unexpected or stressful situations. This is also great for rideshare drivers that need a extra set of eyes to protect themselves from liability or even the unfortunate attacks from some
The fact that the dashcam is always connected via 4G for 24/7 monitoring via the iQ Nextbase app is a huge advantage. It means you can check the status of your vehicle and dashcam in real-time, no matter where you are. Whether you're concerned about your car's security, want to access recorded footage remotely, or just keep tabs on your vehicle, this connectivity is a massive plus. There are times when it is a little buggy and does not connect on first go. There is also quite a bit of lag in the video, but you will only know that if you are talking to someone or viewing the footage within eyesight. It is still a great feature to have to give that extra peace of mind when your vehicle is parked in an offsite parking lot that you are not familiar with or does not provide adequate security.
In summary, the Nextbase iQ 1k dashcam is an innovative, feature packed choice for anyone who values road safety, convenience, and constant monitoring of their vehicle. The various power options for installation, dual-camera setup, Roadwatch AI, "witness mode," and 24/7 connectivity via the iQ Nextbase app make it an excellent investment for both personal and professional use.

Elegant, visually striking, adequate protection
on October 31, 2023
Posted by: Section8ght
I recently got the Insignia hard shell mosaic case for my wife’s iPhone 15 Pro Max, and she is delighted to have an aesthetically pleasing case and still show off the beauty of her new iPhone. As someone who values both style and protection for my valuable smartphone, this case is surprisingly well crafted to do both.
First and foremost, the mosaic clear design of the case is visually striking. It adds a unique and elegant touch to her iPhone, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The clear design not only allows the phone's natural titanium finish to shine through but also adds a touch of sophistication to the overall look. It's the perfect balance between showing off the beauty of the iPhone and adding a layer of style.
Sturdy back protection is a primary concern for me when it comes to phone cases and the new iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the Insignia case delivers in this aspect. The hard-shell construction provides robust protection against scratches, dings, and minor impacts, and adds a level of protection against incidental pressure from bends like forgetting it in your back pocket when sitting. It's reassuring to know that the phone's delicate back is shielded from potential damage. The case also provides a raised edge around the screen, which offers additional protection for the display when the phone is placed face down. This extra safeguard ensures that the iPhone's screen remains free from scratches and accidental contact with surfaces without a screen protector.
The overall design of the case is slim and lightweight, adding minimal bulk to the phone. It maintains the sleek profile of the iPhone 15 Pro Max while still offering reliable protection. It's easy for my wife to slip her iPhone into her pocket or bag without feeling bulky or cumbersome. The cutouts for buttons, ports, and speakers ensure that all functionalities of the phone are easily accessible. There is no struggle to adjust the volume, charge the phone via the USB-C port or wirelessly, getting full volume from the speakers; everything works seamlessly with this case on.
In summary, the Insignia hard shell case for iPhone 15 Pro Max combines style and protection in an impressive way. The mosaic clear design showcases the phone's natural titanium finish while adding a touch of elegance. The sturdy back protection and lip front protection offer peace of mind in terms of keeping the phone safe. The slim and lightweight design maintains the phone's sleek profile, and the precise cutouts ensure full functionality. If you're looking for a case that not only protects your iPhone but also enhances its aesthetic appeal, this Insignia case is a great choice.

Adobe Elements that make it almost too easy
on October 29, 2023
Posted by: Section8ght
I recently upgraded to Adobe Premiere Elements 2024 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 from an older version, and I can confidently say that the enhancements in these new versions have made my photo and video editing experiences more exceptional and streamlined with just as much simplicity. As an amateur content creator and family journalist, I rely on these tools to bring my ideas and recorded memories or keepsakes to life, and the latest features have not disappointed.
One of the most convenient additions in both applications is the integration of AI Sensei. With AI becoming more and more the norm, it was only a matter of time before Adobe integrated it into their Elements software. The AI-powered features have transformed the editing process making it almost too easy to put together creative ideas and make the perfect edits. Whether it's auto-correcting color balance, improving the clarity of a photo, or suggesting creative effects for my videos, the AI capabilities are a welcomed addition. It not only speeds up my workflow but also ensures that my final content looks its best.
Quick actions have made my editing process more efficient. The ability to perform common tasks with a single click saves time and ensures I can focus on the creative aspects of my work. These shortcuts have streamlined the editing process and made it more user-friendly. Automatic highlight reels are another feature that has saved me countless hours. These AI-driven highlight reels pick out the best moments from my videos and create captivating compilations. It's like having a personal editor that knows exactly what I want to see.
The introduction of a dark mode design is a refreshing change. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about reducing eye strain during those long editing sessions. The dark interface is not only easier on the eyes but also sets a professional and immersive tone for my editing environment. I have transitioned to dark mode in almost all my applications, both mobile and desktop and I am happy to see every developer offering the ability to customize the display interface.
The option to share photo reels in a social media format is a fantastic addition. In today's world, where social media content is king, being able to create content that's perfectly formatted for different platforms is a significant advantage. This feature has simplified the process of creating content that's not only engaging but also optimized for the various social media channels.
The companion apps and inclusion of free Adobe Stock footage are a valuable addition to the Adobe Elements suite. Being able to access and edit my content on the go through my mobile device is fun and allows me to capture inspiration as it strikes and stay productive even when I'm not at my computer. The Adobe Stock footage provides access to a vast library of high-quality video clips and images that can take my projects to the next level. Having this resource readily available within the software has expanded the creative possibilities.
Lastly, if I ever find myself in a bind or mind block, there several step by step guided tours or edits that can refresh my memory and even teach me new tricks of the trade. Also, having a dedicated software that I own without the stress and hassle of a monthly or annual subscription adds to the joy of having Adobe Elements.
In conclusion, Adobe Premiere Elements 2024 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 are more than just updates; they are powerful enhancements that have significantly improved my content creation process. The integration of AI, the dark mode design, quick actions, social media formatting, automatic highlight reels, companion apps, and free Adobe Stock footage all contribute to a more efficient, creative, and professional editing experience. If you're serious about your content creation, these tools are a must-have. Adobe continues to impress with each new version, and the 2024 editions are no exception.
