Unresolved Issues That Even Counseling Did Not Fix
on January 29, 2025
Posted by: Posted1
Swing and a miss...
I really wanted to like this HMD Skyline, and it did have some unique and kind of cool features, it had one fatal flaw. For whatever reason, my unit would ONLY show my screen apps in grey-scale. I tried factory reset several times, I did a software update, I looked at all the usual things that a techie guy would look at and nothing.
Next I went to their tech support team and we sahred several e-mails back and forth (the tech support was timely and relatively, for what that's worth) but after multiple setting changes, still only showing in grey-scale. End of the day, they had me fill out a form and agreed to repair/replace.
While that was a decent resolution, it was not a good way to start our relationship.
As for a phone, it does what you expect from a phone. Nothing outstanding but no complaints.
I mentioned it had a couple cool features... One was the fingerprint sensor was on the power button on the side. It worked well and was convenient.
Another cool feature was the customizeable button on the side. In the software, you can easily configure to to do two different things. One with a long press and one with a double press.
I thnk it would be a decent phone if I can get one that works, but not a good experience with the phone so far.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Choice For Haptic Feedback
on January 26, 2025
Posted by: Posted1
I have had the fortune of dealing with several Razer gaming devices over the years, and have yet to be dissaponted. I have had the Razer BlackShark V2 Console ESports Headset, BlackShark V2 Console ESports Headset, Razer Kunai RGB 120mm PC Fans, and the Razer BlackWidow Elite keybpoard and others. In all cases the Razer products have peroprmed well, been eas to use, easy to set up and all have a very good build quality and feel. This Freyja Sensa hapic chair is the same experience. Qualiity look, feel and build. Exactly what what one would expect from Razer.
Set up was simple (as always), unpack, plug in, plug USB, add new device and your off and running. My 22 year-old son is an AVID gamer. He was home for a few days from his job as a US Navy Nuclear Engineer (proud dad bragging, sorry!) and he LOVED it. He said it really added immersion. Me being almost as avid of a gamer, I agree!
I won't get into any specifics becasu you can find that on the BB site, the Razer site, and many of these other fone reviews. But I will say that if you want to enter the world of haptic feedback, this is an excellnt choice!
End of the day, this is a great choice!
I would (and have) reccomend to a friend.

Excellent Choice For A LARGE Home
on January 15, 2025
Posted by: Posted1
In this review, I am not going to get into any "tech spec's" since they are readoily available from the Best Buy and ASUS website's as well as other reviewers. Instead, I am going to try to paint a picture of the environment I have deployed and tested this in, hopefully giving you a picture of whether or not this will meet your needs.
That said, I have a fairly large house. it is 2800 square feet on the main level, 1500 sq ft on the second and another 1500 sq ft in the basement. Additionally I have an 1100 sq ft attached "4 seasons" room that attaches the main house to a 1500 sq ft enclosed pool are. For clarification, the enclosed pool area is similair in construction to a green house. In all, it is a large are to cover for even, reliable and stable WiFI.
OK, that is the environment, lets talk about set-up. Overall it was pretty easy to follow the instructions. From first unit to 3rd node, it was maybe 20 minutes and that includes s/w updates and the 3 nodes calibrating.
As for set up, I had a 3 node mesh unit prior, and as a CWNA (Certified Wireless Network Administrator), I have much experience in wireless networks. I placed 2 node on the first floor, 1 on the north side of house, the other directly in the middle and the third on the second floor. After testing, I had ample coverage and speed in the entirety of the interior of the home as well as well outside the home.
In all, this is an EXCELLENT choice, but ONLY if you have the need. If you live in a small apartemnt or home, there are other more appropriate and less expensive options for you.

Value Item To Protect Your Phone
on December 25, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
Over the years, I have had a great deal of experience with Insignia line of products, both as a buyer and as a Best Buy TIN member. I have rarely been dissapointed and this Insignia™ - Anti-Reflective Glass Screen Protector is no different.
Lets start with Insignia. Insignia is Best Buy's in-house branded product line. They use major manufacturers of name brand product to manufacture the Insignia brand. It is always a a good product at a value price.
I got this for my wife as I am NOT an Apple fan, but as is common, most Apple users are fiercely loyal. She had just recieved her new iPhone 16 so she was excited about getting this product. When I recieved it, I gave it to her and watched her unpackage, read instructions, and install. This comes with an install kit. From the time she opened, read instructions, and installed the screen protector was maybe five to seven minutes. That is to be expected.
The protector was very nice. You have to look for it to know it's there. There is a slight difference in "feel" on the screen as far as tactile feedback, but that is not anything new. Most screen protectors a re like that.
End of the day, this a great value-add item at a value price to protect your expensive phone.
Great choice if you have the need!

The Blueair Humidifier rapidly provides humidification up to 500 sqft. Designed to create more comfortable sleep air through an easier, cleaner humidification experience. This humidifier uses cutting-edge InvisibleMist Technology, a technology that delivers up to 48 hours of clean moisture by first trapping water impurities within our anti-microbial coated wick, then releases pure water vapor into the air. No more stickiness, water residue or white dust - only pure water vapor released into the air without the mist. With the UV-powered water pump that recirculates water, the risk of bacteria growth in the water is heavily reduced. Easy maintenance with two ways to refill and an easy clean tank, which has a large opening for no hard-to-reach spots, or is dishwasher safe for a deeper clean of the unit. Achieve better sleep with the highly rated Blueair app, as the AutoHydrate feature uses sensors to monitor and adjust your specific environment. Want it to run through the night? Activate night mode for continuous, quiet humidification that works throughout the night for uninterrupted sleep.

Great Choice If You Have The Need
on December 10, 2024

This is my third foray into Blueair... And like my previous two experiences, I am not disspointed. this Blueair - InvisibleMist 0.9 gallon Evaporative Premium Smart Top-Fill humidifier is a great addition, if you need it.
Having a pretty small cabin in the Colorado Front Range Foothills, the winters can be biting. And when it does get cold, the heater and the fireplace really dries out. While we have a whole house humidifier in our main house, our cabin is only 3 rooms with baseboard electric heat and the fireplace. Needless to say, the air can get quite dry. And sleeping in dry air, it's not uncommon to get dry noses and lungs, and also the occasional bloody nose.
Enter the Blueair - InvisibleMist 0.9 gallon Evaporative Premium Smart Humidifier... We visited the cabin last weekend, and as usual, we cranked the baseboard heat when we arrived and started a nice, roaring fire to get the internal temp up the low 70's. And as usual, the air started to dry out. We set up thiis uinit and within 25 to 30 minutes, we could immediately feel the differece. And at night, the comfort of sleep was considerably better.
For our unique situation, this is the perfect solution. If you have the need, this is the perfect solution!

Not Great For Us Larger People...
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
OK, here's the deal... I gave it a 3 star rating but I will admit, some of that rating is due to my big man-head and ears... That said, this is an honest review based on my personal experience.
First off, the item is decent quality from a build perspective. BlueParrott is owned by Jabra and my favorite earbuds are Jabra. I have always had good experience with Jabra, but this particular product was somewhat dissapointing.
Trying to pair was a little frusturating. It absolutely would not pair per instruction on the box until I downloaded the app. I have, as a Best Buy Top 50 TIN reviewer, paired countless BT devices over the years. This one was certainly not one of the easiest devices I have paired.
OK, once it was paired, the app was so-so at the best. Not a lot of controls from the app but that's ok, I'm not a huge app guy.
Putting it on, I think it should be comfortable for most but it was super-tight on my great big head. And the ear-cup did not comfortably cover my ear but instead it "smashed" my ear into my head. It was not a particularly comfprtable fit.
End of the day, I gave it to my wife. She's going to use it for playing video games with our US Navy Nuclear Engineer son. It seems to fit her head and ears considerably better than mine. If you are bigger person, these may not be the best. If you are on the average size, I'm sure these may be a decent choice.
JMHO!

Excecllent Choice To Build A Great Gaming PC
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
I’ll start this review with a note about some BIOS / Windows version issues. You need Windows 11 24H2 for Wi-Fi 7 support and the BIOS from the factory has a bug specifically with 24H2 that prevents video output. So, the very first thing you should do is update the BIOS (available on the asus website). This is just normal best practice with a new motherboard, but it’s really critical for this specific model – assuming you want to make the most of what you just bought.
If you want fast, this is the board for you. Between Wi-Fi 7 support (even only with 160 MHz support) and the 2.5Gb Ethernet port, you’ll have no problems with connectivity. Fun fact, a normal Gigabit Ethernet port maxes out at about 950 Mbps, so you’ll never saturate your Gigabit home internet connection without moving to 2.5Gb Ethernet or a fast Wi-Fi connection (assuming your AP also has 2.5 or above Ethernet backhaul).
USB ports are also fast and I appreciate the inclusion of a Thunderbolt port. Note that the USB PD is limited to 5V/3A (15 watts), so you won’t get fast charging (25 watts) or super fast charging (45 watts) on your phone. Not a huge deal at all, just FYI.
Speed does come at a price, as the socket LGA1851 CPUs are spendy, but that’s what you can expect when you get the latest bleeding-edge device. Everything else is pretty standard RE: RAM, M.2 slots (though PCIe 5.0 support is nice), SATA, etc. Can’t really speak to all of the “AI” features of this board, but I guess that will come with time.
End of the day, great choice and I would (and have) reccomend to a friend.

Great Portable, High-Power Laptop!
on December 1, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
OK, this is my third Dell - XPS 13 model of laptop that I have tried and it is, by far the best...
My first Dell - XPS 13, was essentially a brick. You could power it on, but after a few times of "sleeping", it would not power on. The only way to get it back up was to old-school disconnect the battery. That sounds reasonable, but with modern laptops, yiu can't just remove the battery and plug-and-play it back on. You have to remove the back with severa tiny screws, remove the battery connection and disconnect/reconnect the battery. Not cool.
That said, Dell was GREAT and immediatly replaced it. The replacem en thas been awesome. The only problem is that the backlit keyboard on that model was silver-blue in color. Well, the backlighting being a white-silver made the backlighting often no-existant. This Dell - XPS 13 - Copilot+ PC beat that issue by having the keyboard black. It's a very nice backlight experience.
Another major difference is the function keys are not a classic standard key. They are hard-loaded on the top row above the classik keys. That'skind of a cool feature.
As far specs go, I am not going to go into any of that since it readily available from BB website, Dell website and my many great fellow reviewrs. Suffice ti to say, that tech specs a reblazing and the performance certainly matches to adverised specs.
One important note, most components are built into the motherboard so this is not an upgradeable PC. But that's OK, since most users of this unit will not be game-chasing PC users. This is an excellent choice for persoanl. student and business use. And yes, it can certainly handle most hardcore gaming, but most hardcore gamers will go with a purpose built gaming machine.
End of the day, this is an excellent choice for a high-end, portable laptop. I would reccomend it to a friend!

Great Compression Boots!
on November 21, 2024

Great compression boots!
This is my first Sharper Image - Powerboost Boots. I have long used a high end brand of compression boots and these less expensive boots do the job almost as well.
So both my wife and I are officers in a major Denver-metro fire department. In our duties, it is vital that we (along with our crews) remain in the highest level of physical condition. That said, we are also the "eldest" amoingst our crews when it comes to working out on a daily basis. And being the oldest, our recovery from working out is NOT what it used to be. These boots are a great device to help recover from hard leg days, or even difficult fire calls where we are on our feet fighting fires for hours.
While these Sharper Image - Powerboost Boots are not as customizeable as the ones I have used, they do the job almost as well. The head unit has a 5 customized settings. After using all 5, we both agreed that the "Pulse" and "Gradual" settings are our preferred modes.
While the ones I have are able to to operte off a rechargeable internal battery, this unit requires to be plugged in. That is the only reason I ma rating these with 4 stars instead of 5.
Great boots!

Dyson WashG1 Is A Beast
on November 12, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
This thing is a beast!
Over the years I have had the opportunity to use Dyson products and I have yet to be dissapointed. This Dyson WashG1 is no different.
In typical Dyson fashion, they are on the premium end in price but also qualty. This WasshG1 most certainly has a high quality feel and build. Setup was simple and use is intuitive. inside, you have the cleaner, it's handle, the base and the charging cradle thagt attaches to the base. From unboxing to use was maybe seven to ten minutes.
We have a fairly large house with 2800 sq feet on the main level, half of wich is hardwood. We also have a 2800 square foot basement that is mostly all hardwood, and then the second level is another 1500 square feet with the hall and bathrooms are hardwood. This WashG1 hndled the main and second floors easily on a single charge. To get the basement, I did have to recharge it, but that is not a knock, it's honestly a great endorsement.
As for the clean, have no fear. This unit lays a nice layer of water and has no problem sucking it back up. We also have a finicky dog who is quite selective about the kibbles he will and will not eat. This unit had no problems picking those up and depositing into the "dry" bin.
Clean up up pretty simple... Remove the dry bin, empty, rinse replace. I will say that it is built to very tight tolerance and removing the tray the first time took some solid handling.
Once that is done, empty to dirty tank, refill the clean tank and you can have it run the self clean mode that cleans the brushes and internalportions of the unit.
End of the day, this is an exceptional hard surface floor cleaner. It comes with a premuim price, but it is also a premium unit.
Great choice.

I'm not sure I understand the question. You should be able to plug the USB into your PC, turn your mouse to the "on" position and have it operate no problems.
