I love this photo editing software.
on November 8, 2021
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
This makes editing photos so simple and easy. Ive used different versions of this software for 3 years, it makes editing blemishes and so many things from a person a breeze.
This software can edit 10 years off your age in a photo, and edit items like a scratch of a pimple. So easy to use on a portrait or even a small group photo. The skin smoothing feature is great at removing wrinkles or creasesfrom turning your head.
I highly recommend this software to anyone who enjoys taking pictures.

Very nice mid-range phone with competitive feature
on November 4, 2021
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I recieved this item in return of my unbiased review. Coming from a galaxy S10 I like that Google include a built in fingerprint scanner, although this one is hit and miss it would definitely benefit from a firmware update to address its randomness. I do like the camera layout horizontally a cross the back, I only wish the camera bump wasn't a large of a bump as it is.
Android 12 looks and run so smooth on this new Pixel 6, and the ability to select the wallpaper colors is a nice new feature as well. Being a big user and early adopter of Google Assistant, I'm happy to see my smart devices at the top of my slide down setting menu. This makes toggling devices on and off a breeze when using my phone.
I do find the tensor chip to be very adequate for running any apps or games that I use daily without any hiccups whatsoever. Magic eraser wasn't as much of a cool feature that I thought it was going to be, it seems very hit and miss at removing people and or objects from pictures. I was hoping to be blown away by magic eraser but I really wasn't overly impressed.
My biggest complaint and letdown of this new Goggle Pixel 6 phone is the 5G, is horrendously slow when compared to other family members 5G phones like the Galaxy S20 Lite, and my sons Apple IPhone 13 mini. I was only able to score around 66 maps down and 32 up. Where as the S20 lite and IPhone 13 mini hits around 65 down and 51 up. I was really hoping for much better 5G speeds with this new Pixel 6. Google missed the mark with the 5G for me with this release.
Sadly with only having 128gb built in storage and no micro sd card slot, the phone is already 38% full already. Everyone seems to be copying Apple with no more expandable memory card slot. I really don't want to have to spend a monthly fee to store my photos on a cloud to save the phones storage.
I will say I'm happily looking forward toward the launch of the upcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra. As the Pixel 6 is a good phone, but needs more improvement to get me to fully switch from my normal Samsung ecosystem of phone, smartwatch, tablet and earbuds.

The new Philips Sonicare Power Flosser creates an X-shaped stream of water that reaches deep between teeth for a gentle, thorough clean. This X-shaped water stream, known as Quad-Stream technology, covers more surface area for a faster, deeper clean versus manual floss. Because of Quad-Steam technology, Philips Sonicare Power Flosser enables you to improve your gum health by 50% in just 1 minute per day!
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
This is easy to use and setup, doesn't take up much counter space either. I find myself needing to refill the small water tank twice per use. I would say this works well, but not as well as regular flossing does. You will still need to floss stubborn particles of food and so on.
I can see where using this in the morning and evening may help to better stimulate your gums better than regular flossing in my opinion. But I don't see this replacing standard floss anytime soon.

The indoor Nest Cam knows the difference between a person, pet, and vehicle, and alerts you about the things that matter to you, instead of the things that don't. 24/7 live view shows you what’s happening from anywhere.* With 3 hours of free event video history, you can go back and see what you missed. And it comes in different colors to fit your style. The indoor Nest Camera requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.

Very nice 1080p indoor camera
on October 11, 2021
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I like this new wired nest cam, the alert via Google home is nice you can pick what alerts you whether person animal whatever. The video and audio are super clear, I decided to set this atop my kitchen cabinets.
Setup is simple via the home app, took about 5 minutes to complete. I like that this is hardwired as I hate to charge batteries. I like that we can ask our Google displays to show the camera footage.
This is replacing my old logitech circle indoor/outdoor cam, which was me, and dropped wifi connection often. I definitely recommend giving this camera a try. The included 3 hour footage is nice, I won't be subscribing to the extra cost Nest aware.

The Nextbase 320XR and Rear Window Camera is the ideal solution for all-around protection on the roads in full HD quality. The front cam captures every detail in 1080p full HD at 30fps, with the aid of a 140° wide viewing angle. It utilizes the latest 2.5" screen with IPS technology for easy menu selection and playback. The 320XR uses the exclusive Click&Go PRO mount with integrated neodymium magnetic power connectors for easy installation and removal using just one hand. The 320XR Rear Window Camera connects to your front facing Dash Cam via a supplied 6.5m cable. It fits directly to your rear window with an easy to install self-adhesive pad. The magnetic, adjustable fixture means that it's suitable for angled windows in cars or more vertical van windows. The Rear Window Camera records in full 1080p HD with a wide 140 degree viewing angle to guard against everything from hit-and-run impacts to knocks and bumps in a car park. The 320XR also includes Intelligent Parking, which automatically starts recording when motion is detected, keeping your car safe when parked. For this feature, we recommend hardwiring in the Dash Cam using the Nextbase Hardwire Kit. Footage must be played back on a PC/Mac using Mynextbase Player or online using the free MyNextbase Cloud service (minimum requirements: Windows 10/OSX 10.9). The 320XR is not Bluetooth, and will NOT sync directly with the MyNextbase cell phone application.

Easy to install and simple to use front & rear das
on October 5, 2021
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I like this 320xr front and rear dashcam kit. It's simple to install and get setup and working. The rear cam has a 18' keyed cable that plugs into the front cam, and connects to the mount magnetically. Both cams record in either 1080p or 720p, but no combination of both.
The video quality Is very clear whether day or night footage. I'm currently using this setup with 256gb micro sd card for storage. The front cam can either be mounted via suction cup or 3m double sided tape. I went the hard wire kit route, as I wanted to take advantage of the cams Park Feature.
These cams have no Bluetooth or wifi built in so no smartphone features, like most of Nextbases other cams offer. So to review footage on you sd card, you'll have to remove the sd card and insert it into a laptop or desktop, which is a pain.
I really wish this was capable of using the smartphone app. My other complaint is I wish the rear mount had a steadier mount like the front vs magnetic. But, all in all this is a nice setup for the cost, I would reccomend this setup to anyone on the fence.

Fast drive, perfect for OS or Data use

I love this little M.2 ssd. I I stalled it in my Alienware M15 gaming laptop for extra storage. The drive loads my games super fast. The drive itself was a breeze to install in the spare M.2 slot.
The price is on the steeper side for a 1tb m.2 in my opinion. But, you get what you pay for, and Crucial is a very reputable company. I would like to grab another one of these in 1tb or 2tb for my PS5 when they enable the m.2 slot in a firmware update.

from Herky, MO
This is just what sons needed to store all they're Xbox games, with a extra 4 TB-3.6 in total. They now have a pretty endless range of room for theyre game library.
This is a simple plug and play install, only uses one USB A to USB 3.2 cable for transfer and power, I have the WD driver plugged into one of the rear USB ports on the Xbox S. I had this up and running in less than 5 minutes.
I highly recommend giving this a try if your in doubt.

Perfect drive for anything.

I installed this in my Alienware gaming pc for games and storage. My laptop already has a Samsung nvme drive for the OS identical size so this was a no brainer to use a 2nd for storage.
This loads everything fast, and so for no hiccups to mention. These are small as a stick of gum. Thankfully my new laptop has dual nvme slots.

Just what I've been looking for.
on April 12, 2021
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I recieved this item in return of my unbiased review. Ill start by saying I like this alot more than I originally thought I was going to. With the canister bin for auto emptying bin attached to the charging base, this is a tad larger looking than most robot vacuums/mops.
This connects to either 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz wifi, the 1st time it vacuums the house it maps out all the room and each rooms obstacles. My favorite is it totally avoids bumping and banging into any trim or furniture in my home.
Besides being a great and powerful little robot vac it's also a wonderful robot mop, avoiding all carpet and carpeted areas while in mop mode. For the reasonable, but not cheap price of 599.99 you get quite alot compared to other robot vacuums, and this does everything so well and easy. This by far beats my Samsung robot vac since the Samsung did not have the mopping feature. This Deebot N8 is also so quiet compared to my previous Samsung vac.
I really like how this integrates with integrated with my Google Assistant and responds to commands like start vacuuming the house. Setup out of the box took about 20 minutes from opening the box, to 1st vacuum of my home with the Deebot. I really enjoy not having to empty the collection bin on the N8 after each use, instead after I would say 10 to 15 uses you remove the bag from the canister and replace it with a new one.
I would highly recommend this Ecovac robot mop/vacuum to anyone looking to simplify cleaning they're house, without the need to breakout a traditional vacuum each time .

Good gaming pc, with caveats.
on April 4, 2021
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I like the look and style of this Alienware/Dell gaming laptop. The Intel is currently can handle pretty much anything I've thrown at it effortlessly from gaming to multiple browser tabs open along with editing software for pictures. The fast refresh rate of the screen really helps during game play.
I love all the rgb on the lid, keyboard and rear vent area of the laptop. The power brick is really beefy, one of the biggest of any laptop I've ever owned. I like that this has the newer AX WiFi6 built in. You can customize the rgb zones or turn them off to suit your taste and mood. The 3070 gpu handles any and every game I played with easeand settings on high. This laptop does get toasty while heavy to moderate game play.
Ok. For my dislikes, I'm not a fan of the soldered ram, while it has 16gb built in, I would love to be able to bump it up to 32gb, but can't since this laptops ram is soldered down to the board. I like that there's a Samsung 512GB nvme ssd in this for storage and a 2nd empty nvme slot for extra storage and expansion. But no standard Sata expansion for a Sata SSD.
I do like this gaming laptop and it's capabilities of heavy gaming with its newer 3070 gpu, but for its cost of $2k it has to many caveats forme to reccomend it to others.

Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Good Budget gaming PC
By Paul
Bestbuy really doesn't give much info on the exact internals so here they are. The motherboard is a gigabyte z170-hd3p, the ram is Adata brand 2133mhz 2x4gb, cpu i5 6600k, stock Intel cpu cooler, toshiba 2tb hdd, lg dvd drive, gpu is the amd r7 250, and it's all powered by a generic 400w power supply. Overall a good budget pc that will run games on low to medium settings. If want high to ultra settings I suggest upgrading the power supply to atleast 500w and the r7 250 to a nvidia gtx 970. Since the motherboard is a z board you have the ability to overclock the cpu. (Very easy within the BIOS).

This is a free sample product received from Linksys Family and Friends program and is really awesome looking, it performs well and gives good signal coverage throughout my three room apartment.
I was dissapointed to find it has no WPS button anywhere, and it dosen't recognize my wireless printer, it's probably something simple and I haven't contacted tech yet, I'm sure it will work fine when I can do that, You can't go wrong with Linksys.

this is honestly one of the best headphones I have ever purchased in my life, and definitely a step up in Razers game of audio-phile grade headphones. they are very comfortable and sound amazing with a very balanced frequency signature. I'm so glad they upgraded to 50mm speakers over last gens 40mm. if you want a reasonably priced music headphone, look no further. I would recommend the 7.1 chroma variant for gaming though, plus those come with stickers, these, sadly, do not.
