Great air fryer to add to the kitchen.
on October 31, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
With the popularity in air fryers these days, it's nice to see updates/upgrades to them which enable them to be more feature driven devices rather than an oddity in the kitchen.
I've owned a few air fryers in my days and these newer ones with touchscreen displays, larger capacities and modularity are a welcome upgrade.
"Most" air fryers you see will look like this one, for the most part. Typical squarish body with removable drawer/tray is the norm when it comes to these air fryers.
I like this model specifically for the touchscreen controls and divided basket. Other air fryers I had were push button or knobs so, aesthetically, these just look nicer to me. Also, since it's a screen, cleaning them is much easier now than with the old controls too.
Cook times are pretty much spot on and everything I've cooked has come out pretty well. One of the bigger features in this air fryer is the ease in cleaning them. I hated having to clean my old air fryers just due to their awkward size and food being burnt onto the bottom of the tray pan. With this one though, that's MUCH easier now so I'm happy with that.
And the other nice feature of this air fryer is the divided basket. I know a lot more air fryers are coming out like this but having this setup allows me to make two different meals/food more easily and without the inevitable mashing up of different foods like with older air fryers. I seem to have an affinity for potatoes so I cook a lot of fries, potatoes au gratin, hash browns and the like with this thing. The divided basket allows me to cook different potato dishes evenly and without them being mashed together.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great beginner/intermediate drone
on October 31, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
I recently got into drones and I feel it's a great activity for just about anyone. You can get the cheap drones for like $40 and really expensive ones for $1000 or so. This one fits very comfortably whether you're a novice or an intermediate drone user.
I own a DJI drone and it works great. Great battery life, great features and just overall really fun to use. Downside is that it's $2k-$5k depending on which model you get. This Contixo drone has most of the features a higher priced drone would have at nearly 1/10th the cost. Sure, it's not some high end model but, to start with or use as a secondary drone, it's great.
You get everything you need to start flying right out of the box. Everything comes in a nice little carrying case too. You get the drone, battery, controller and cables to start off with. This model utilizes your smart phone so you'll have to provide that.
Probably one of the nicest features of this drone are the different flight modes. You get a few different mode like Follow Me, Way Point as well as a selfie mode which is pretty cool. My favorite would have to be the Follow Me mode when walking to the woods.
Connectivity seems pretty good. This model has some decent range (1700ft) so you'll be able to get high enough to take advantage of the drone. The pictures/vids are pretty good, not great, but good enough for just about anyone.
Probably the biggest downside is the battery life on this drone,. It's good for about 25 minutes or so. If this is something you're going to invest in then getting additional batteries would be my recommendation.
That said, if you're looking to get into drones and don't want a super cheap one, this would be a great entry level drone for you. Decent features but at a reasonable price

OK but not as nice as other Sony earbuds
on October 9, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
I've been a big fan of the Sony earbuds/headphones for quite some time now. Biggest feature for me being their Extra Bass setting which is great for the music I listen to as well as their noise cancelling feature. I have their WH1000XM3 headphones as well as their WF-1000XM3 earbuds which are probably my most favorite for listening to music. Both these have great sound and noise cancellation but these LinkBuds kinda fall flat compared to these other ones I have.
As far as sound, they sound OK in my opinion. There isn't that ooompf on those low bass notes like with the other headphones I have. Even with the noise cancelling active, still not really that impressive to me. Highs/Mids come out OK but doesn't seem as crisp as one would expect.
My biggest complaint with these is the fit. I have normal ears and have no problem with using the Sony headphones/earbuds, Beats or Apple Air Pods. The fit with these LinkBuds is downright terrible for me. They don't fit well at all no matter how I position them or how tightly I cram them in my ear. As such, they come loose just from walking, chewing food or talking. Unless I hold my head completely still, they'll fall out. The right one, specifically, WILL NOT STAY PUT and it drives me crazy. I've already dropped them several times just from them falling out on their own. Kind of makes it impossible to enjoy and music when this keeps happening.
These earbuds come with a very small charging/storage case which is nice as well as short USB-C cable for charging.
Normally I love Sony audio products but I'm not really sure what they were trying to accomplish with these.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Super nice and perfect if you have a small place
on October 9, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
I'm not too competent when it comes to the kitchen so anything that'll help me cook food more easily/quicker, is a nice bonus for me. This thing checks off a lot of things (cooking wise) that you need but with a much smaller footprint.
I have a nice microwave as well as another air fryer but this thing is on another level. It's a microwave on steroids or a mini oven whichever way you look at it. It's capable of so many things that I haven't even begun to try them all out.
it'll cook/bake/air fry and even dehydrate food, all in one unit. Pretty much anything you need to cook, you can cook it in here and it's relatively small so it'll fit anywhere in your kitchen. If needed, it's sorta portable too so you could take it to your family gathering for cookouts and such.
I've only tried baking some pizzas/wings in mine but it worked great for that. This includes a couple different trays depending on the food you're cooking, so you won't need to worry about bringing the right pan/tray or anything. With my older air fryer, I liked to cook wings in there but since it was circular, only a few would fit in it at any given time. With the trays in this fryer, I can add more and spread them out evenly for that perfect cook. Pizzas came out quite nice as well.
The controls are all on the handle of the door which makes for easy adjustment to time/temp cooking as well as using any of the preset settings enabled for this oven. Clean up on this is fairly easy since the bottom liner is removable. The different trays are also easy to clean as well.
I'm REALLY interested in trying to cook a whole chicken so that's the next thing to-do with this oven. Overall, really impressed how well this thing cooks, how versatile it is and its relatively small size which makes it great for an apartment or smaller kitchen.

Nice improvement on previous model
on October 3, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
It's pretty much known that this is the best productivity keyboard case for the iPad. I had the previous model Combo Touch and thought it was a really great keyboard case to have. This one has a few updates from that version which I think makes it a bit nicer than previous models but still remain the best of the keyboard cases out there.
The previous one had a linen/cloth type cover on it. It looked nice and felt nice but it tended to fray and get scratched up. This is, of course, dependent on how you used and it such. This new model is leathery type cover to it so it's much smoother, and looks a little better than before. The base case is a hard plastic which should make for better protection. One of the biggest complaints of the old model was the cut outs for the speakers and cable would distort. Seems on this model, it feels a bit more solid so here's hoping it holds up better than its predecessor did.
The keyboard itself is pretty much the same as old models. Great layout and easy to type on. I feel the trackpad looks a bit bigger than it did on the older ones but not 100% positive on that. That said, it feels nicer and a bit more roomy than the older one was.
What I really like about this case is its versatility. With pretty much all keyboard cases, you have to use the keyboard in that specific configuration. There's no using it while laying down or on-the-go. You basically have a portable iPad laptop. But with this case, you can use the keyboard or not thanks to the ability to detach the keyboard from the case. Like that, then you can use the iPad as a normal tablet and, when needed, you can simply attach the keyboard to the case if you need it in more productive configuration.
Pretty sure other case manufacturers will follow suit with some variant of this but, for me, this is the best overall case setup for your iPad. Really like the functionality of it and its versatility.

Cute....and functional
on September 25, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
So I have numerous keyboards for my PCs and such. All of them are mid/high end with lots of RGB goodness. But I don't have anything that looks quite like this.
So, to begin with, it's sort of your standard Logitech keyboard+mouse combo. It supposedly has very good battery life, multi-device support as well as some decent FN keys added to the keyboard layout. The feel of the keyboard is one of the bigger features in that it's sorta reminiscent of older style keyboards. If you're old enough to remember what a typewriter is, the keyboard feels very similar to that. The keys provide a good, audible click when pressed and the circular keys provide a very nice aesthetic to the whole keyboard.
The mouse is sort of basic in a way. No real frills to it like extra buttons or anything like that. Just a simple plain mouse for the most part.
The biggest thing here with this combo is the aesthetics. Much like getting a RGB lit keyboard or custom keyboard with Cherry MX keys or something, this combo set is suited to your personal tastes. There are several different color combos available for this combo. This lavender and white/grey one are probably the most tame looking of the bunch. While the Daydream and Blast are the loudest of the group. You can pick the one that suits your workstation or, simply, the one you think looks the nicest.
From a functional standpoint, as mentioned earlier, it's a Logitech combo set so you get good functionality and some nice features included. But the big takeaway here is picking the right colorway that best suits your tastes and personality.

Pretty decent AI focused laptop
on September 22, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
Seems AI is all the rage these days so no surprise AI features/functionality are coming to laptops. With the newest chip from Ryzen, been seeing a lot more of these hitting the market.
From a "laptop" perspective, this is a solid little unit. With a nice 2.2k screen, 32GB of memory and a 1TB drive, this is more than satisfactory for just about any user out there.
As with most laptops these days, there aren't a bunch of ports that one might be accustomed to. There are 2 USB-C ports, a headphone jack and a USB-A port. Keyboard layout is nice and the trackpad is quite spacious and large. One little knock on this laptop is the weight. It's a bit heavier than one would expect for a 14" laptop. I have another one that feels like it's half the weight of this one. While still portable, would've been nicer if this laptop were a bit lighter.
As for use case, this isn't a gaming PC so don't think that it is. The graphics are integrated so you'll get pretty basic graphics power from this. What this laptop does do well is processing. This is where the snazzy new CPU comes into play. Basically, anything processing related like content editing, music editing or productivity; that's where this laptop is geared for. With the processing power of this new chip, you can easily work on/create/edit than you could with a "normal" CPU.
For the basic user, you may/may not notice the benefit and this would just be a slightly snazzier new laptop for you. But if you're heavy into AI or data processing, this would be a great laptop to try out.

Pretty much a must-have for any aches/pains
on September 18, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
I've had a few different percussion massagers and each were good in their own right. Some better than others, some cheaper than others but, none were really quite "right" in terms of overall functionality.
I had an older model Theragun and really liked it but it had shown its age and stopped working. I wound get getting a couple different brands since then but they weren't really on par in terms of feel/functionality like the Theragun did.
When I had the chance to get this one, was a no brainer for me. Overall, this massager just feels great and well built. Other massagers I had either had really weal motors or felt really cheap and plastic-y.
The weight on this one is a little heavier than I expected however it makes up for it when using. Almost works out like a counterbalance when you're using so that it's not bouncing all over the place.
The grip can take a little getting used to as it's not the normal, pistol shaped grip like you see with most other percussion massagers. Not really a pro or con but more up to personal preference really.
The carrying case is super nice since you can, and will, travel with this. Has slots for all the massage heads and even an infographic on what each of the heads are/should be used for.
Along with the massager, there is a companion app you can use for more targeted use of the massager and for physical therapy uses. There's several programs you can use or create your own to suit your needs. Usually I just turn the massager on and hit my legs or arms and call it a day. But now I can get more of a targeted, recuperative massage instead of just addressing some muscle soreness.
Honestly, once you have one of these there's really no going back. Even just for relief from normal aches and muscle soreness to physical therapy, it's great to have around the house and, more importantly, in your travel case.

Nice, oversized dash cam
on September 12, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
I've had quite a few dashcams in my time but this one takes the cake in terms of size/clarity.
I started out with the teeny ones and then upgraded to a 360 cam with rear view camera. This one looked quite interesting in that it doesn't take up any additional real estate on your windshield and offers 4k video.
The kit comes with everything you need to get setup, including hardwire cable which is really nice. There is an option for always-on so whenever you park your car, the camera is on to catch any thieves or people who loving bump your ride. I have mine setup for auto-on so whenever I turn on my truck, the camera systems turns on which is quite convenient. I have a 2012 F150 and the mirror on that is a bit chunkier than most. As such, this camera was a bit difficult to get on. However, there are additional rubber straps that are included with the kit so those worked out quite well. This dashcam attaches by looping two rubber bands, basically, over your existing rear view mirror. It's also nice in the event the camera doesn't work or something so you can easily remove it. It doesn't like up perfectly center since the front facing camera is on the left side of the unit. Not a huge thing but would've been nice to have everything lined up neatly.
The display on this large and bright so it's really nice feature of this dashcam. It's touchscreen so it's fairly easy to manage and use without getting lost in the settings menu.
The video recordings are super crisp and look great. Never thought having 4k resolution videos in a dashcam would be needed but, now that I have it, it looks fantastic.
Only issue I'm having now is trying to hook up the included rear camera. I have a full size F150 so I'm trying to find a way to get the wire from the cabin to the rear plate where the camera hooks up to. That will take some time but, all in all, this is a great camera setup.

Works great but terrible design
on September 11, 2024
Posted by: LouRevue
I have this weird dead spot in my bedroom despite being 20 feet from the router. Wifi signal just drops to 1-2 bars and not sure why. Rather than sit on the phone with my ISP, figured a range extender would solve the problem better than any CS rep could. I had a smaller TP-Link range extender years ago that worked well so I figured I stick with the brand this time around.
As far as performance goes, this works great. Wifi speeds are great and it "reaches" that dead spot in my bedroom so now I can surf the internet at peace. I have gigabit internet so the speeds I'm getting are around the 700-800 Mbps which is great for me. Previously I was only getting 100-200Mbps just relying on the modem router.
However, the biggest issue I have with this is the design. This thing is unwieldy to say the least. it only has one prong on the back and covers up an entire outlet, and then some, just being so big. the fact this thing is so big, and you lose access to the second outlet AND it's not really sturdy when you plus it in makes this thing awkward. That and there is only one ethernet outlet on this extender. Fortunately, the only outlet I had free to use this was next to my dresser so I can sort of push the dresser against the extender to prevent it from falling out.
Considering the design, I would've much preferred a power cord and the ability to wall mount this thing someplace higher. Yeah, it would've looked ugly but I think that would've been a better use case than this thing hogging one whole outlet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

5 out of 5Excellent laptop for everyday use
By LouRevue
from Washington, DC
Having had the chance to use this laptop, I must say it’s quite an impressive model for almostn any use. With an abundance of features housed in a sleek, stylish body, it’s a solid laptop for anyone in the market for a new/replacement laptop.
Using a 7th gen i5 dual core processor, the laptop functions on par with just about any laptop in its price range. With 8GB of RAM (12GB max) and a 1TB hard drive, it offers plenty of speed and room for all your files and enough power/speed to perform almost any task.
As far as the aesthetics go, this is an impressive looking laptop with clean lines, brushed aluminum cover and beveled edges. It’s a very nice looking laptop no doubt and the design, overall, is quite appealing. It comes with a full size keyboard as well as backlit keys which is a nice touch. Only gripe with the keyboard are the arrow buttons as the Up/Down buttons are smaller due to keyboard layout. The power button is on the right side of the laptop which is a bit unique as well as a dedicated volume button. There are 2 USB 3.0 ports as well as 1 USB 2.0 port, HDMI, SD Card and USB-C port. There is no CD drive for anyone wondering. The laptop (closed) is only about ¾ inch tall however it’s a bit wider than most due to the full size keyboard.
Power/performance. Using a dual-core processor I was under the impression this would be relatively slow and have choppy performance when opening multiple programs. Being this is the latest gen processor from Intel, this is not the case. Opening 2-3 programs at once was done with relative ease and switching between them was pretty flawless. The 8GB RAM comes in quite handy here and even with a 5400 RPM HDD, this laptop was able to perform tasks with very good speed. Battery life is pretty good. Using it “normally” and leaving it on for about 5-6 hours, there was about 50% battery left. Also, one very noteworthy benefit to this laptop, it doesn’t get that hot when left on for long periods of time which is VERY nice.
The display is probably the most impressive feature on here. A full 1080p display is quite vibrant and displays bright and dark colors extremely well. Those wanting to watch Netflix/Hulu will have no issues with the display. In addition to visuals, the sound from this laptop is equally impressive. For watching movies or just playing music, the speakers on this laptop deliver quite nicely without too much reverberation or distorted sound.
One of my initial thoughts of this being a 2-in-1 was that the tablet was an afterthought/gimmick. Having used previous 2-in-1 laptops, I was expecting the tablet functionality to be quite lackluster. Again, this was not the case. In this unit, you have, both, a well built laptop as well as tablet on-the-go device. Once in tablet mode, the screen orients itself to that of a normal tablet using Windows Tiles. Touch sensitivity is surprisingly smooth and using paint programs worked well without any lag or drops in sensitivity. Using the tablet form works really well when you want to sit back and watch videos or movies. Very nice.
A couple concerns with this laptop were;
The hard drive. While it’s a large 1TB drive, I would’ve expected something, at least, in the 7200 RPM range. Being fast enough for normal business related tasks, anyone wanting to use this laptop for video editing or other processor intensive jobs might find it to be a bit slow. This can easily be remedied by replacing the HD for a faster spindle drive or a SSD. However it would’ve been nice to have a tad faster hard drive here.
The keyboard, for me, took a bit getting used to since I have previously used standard laptop keyboards without the number pad. This is a personal preference so nothing against the design. Just noting that those of you used to that type of laptop keyboard, there will be a bit of learning curve involved however I think the addition of the number pad is great thing and should be standard on all laptops.
While the brushed aluminum case is aesthetically appealing, I’m a little concerned about it getting scratched/dinged from normal use or if when you’re changing it to be used as a tablet. This is the case with some laptops that use this metal casing so just something to be aware of.

Overall, this is an impressive laptop, reasonably priced with enough up-to-date technology that will last you for several years to come. Being that it’s a 2-in-1, it’s an added bonus which allows you to use this device in ways you should be able to do and with relative ease.There is some bloatware included (this should be no surprise) so make sure to uninstall/delete the stuff you don’t need. Aside from a somewhat slow hard drive, the other features on this laptop more than make up for it. Very nice buy for a new work laptop or student.

Bloatware?

Can an owner of the original non active 65t comment on the fit and stability difference with the active version? Curious if that and the extra IP rating is worth a look, or negligible.
I own both the active and regular 65T's and I don't see any noticeable difference between them. Aside from the IP rating, there's really not much difference. Both fit exactly the same and fit pretty snugly in the ear.

Yes you can...that's what I did. One thing to note is that the light won't come on immediately like your current light fixture does. There's a second or two delay after you flip the switch. I'm planning on replacing the switch with a dimmer switch so maybe that will correct the delay.
