Sleek looks. Great speeds.
on December 9, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
If you're building a new machine or looking to upgrade your existing PC, this could be the memory kit for you. A nice, sleek design without all the sparkling Christmas lights and some really fast speeds make this a great upgrade if you currently have some slower memory or a nice starting point to get you by for a little while.
As with any memory installation, setup is simple. Plug the sticks into the two slots your motherboard recommends for dual-channel and you're off to the races. Make sure you enable XMP or you're chipset's equivalent so you get the maximum speed profile.
I upgraded an existing 32GB of memory for the extra speeds and so far it's been running without any hitches. The nice design fits what I prefer. I don't need every component in my machine to twinkle. These sticks have a really nice heat spreader covering both sides with a very subtle design etched into it.
Not much more to really say about memory. Crucial has always been one of the more reliable brands and have been around for as long as I can remember. Sad to see them going away soon. So get these while you still can!

Great picture. Would love a smaller package.
on November 29, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
I can front load this review by saying I enjoy the camera and it's features but I just wish it came in a smaller package. On my car, centering the camera results in taking up a not insignificant portion of my visibility because there's a big piece of dash behind the mirror. Other than that, though, it's a great dashcam.
Setup is only has difficult as the installation for you. Setting this up in a brand new car that I'm not super familiar with was a challenge to find places to hide the wires. Plugging into the OBDII port is nice since you don't have to attach to the right fuses and such (There is still a kit sold separately if you'd rather hard-wire that way). So just depending on your car and how hidden you want all the wires (especially the wire running to the rear view camera) is going to determine how tough the actual install is for you. There's included sticky pads (and extras) for both of the cameras as well as a sun shield that can reflect the sun so it's not beading straight onto the hot part of the camera.
Connecting the dashcam to the app is fairly nice using the standard "Link" app. I'm always a fan of an app that doesn't require a login and the regular Thinkware Link app just connects straight to the dashcam without the need for any unnecessary accounts.
Dashcams that get out of your way and you don't really think about them being there are the best. You'll get some alerts on this one depending on what settings you have but most of them are things you can disable if you don't need them (like if your car already has front end collision warnings).
Accessing the live feed of the camera warns you that it'll directly connect to the dashcam via wifi and then once you get connected, you can see both the front and back cameras. There's guide lines on the front camera for you to adjust where the top of your hood is. The live camera has about a second or so delay which isn't too bad in my opinion. If you're not into 30 fps video (at 4K), you can change the video settings to 1440p 60 fps as well.
You can use the app to access all of the recorded videos which is probably the way I'll access them for the most part but if you want to use your computer, the videos are all saved in folders according to what kind of shot they are. Incidents and manual recordings are separated. There's a lot of different categories where things can get saved so it's pretty well organized if you need to browse things on a computer to find exactly what you're looking for.
The video quality is really good during the day and about as good as you can hope for at night. The extra automatic HDR gives you a really nice contrast that helps see things like words a lot clearer than most dashcams I've ever seen at night. This goes for both the front and back cameras.
All said, this is a great dashcam with great picture quality in both directions. The feature set is very customizable and exhaustive for a dashcam and the only negative thing I can say about it is just that the front unit just takes up a little too much visible space on my windshield. The app is easy to use and doesn't require a login. I can highly recommend this unit.

Crazy light and responsive controller
on November 22, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
Picking up this controller for the first time and holding it for a second, I could tell I was going to like it. It's incredibly light but doesn't feel cheap and everything feels like it's in the right place. I am usually not a fan of back triggers because my fingers just don't hit them properly but these were just perfectly placed right off the bat.
Setup was super easy. Plug it in and you're done. I'm using this on my PC so I got a popup for installing the Razer software when I plugged it in. The controller works fine without the software, but you get customization features like mapping the extra buttons to be pretty much anything you want. Keyboard shortcuts, macros, you name it and those six extra buttons can do it, pretty much.
Again, the feel of the controller in my hands just feels really good. I can't overstate how light it is and how much I didn't realize I would enjoy a light controller. I think I've always associated light with cheap feeling and this just doesn't feel that way. The buttons, thumbsticks and triggers all still feel very premium inside this light package.
Speaking of the inputs, the face buttons all have a very nice soft clicky feel to them. Not mushy or too firm or anything. They press nicely, they have a really soft click and they bounce back great. The triggers have an optional switch to lock them so they have no travel which makes them feel very mouse-like. All of the six extra buttons also have a very nice mouse click feel to them as well. The thumbsticks are a new TMR technology which is basically better hall-effect so you don't have to worry about stick drift and they feel incredibly smooth and responsive in game.
I can't think of anything bad to say about this controller. Maybe I would have liked to see a USB-C port that was flush with the controller? As is, there's a bit of a support mold protruding around the USB-C port that fits the included cables perfectly. It's probably meant to support that cable and stop it from being easy to pull out or possibly get bent, but it also means using other cables might not work for you.
All that said, this is definitely my new daily driver on my PC. The only reasoning I can give to not give this controller a shot is if you're dead set on something wireless. If you're playing nearby your device, though, definitely give this a look as it just feels and works like a premium controller.

Good camera. Bad business practices.
on November 2, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
I'll front load this review and say my biggest issue with the Arlo ecosystem is being hit over the head at every turn inside the app with advertisements to buy more and subscribe. The cameras work well and are easy to setup. Just their business practices in the app you need to use to control the device you just bought feels so icky.
Setup was simple enough. The biggest problem I had was it didn't appear to have any way to connect to an existing Arlo smart hub. So I had to connect to my own wifi. This could actually be good for you if you're planning on having this camera closer to your router than the smart hub normally is. Could be bad if you don't have good wifi coverage, though.
The camera quality is pretty good. It's not as crisp but really isn't too bad next to my Arlo 4K cameras. HomeKit is easy enough to set up so you can view your camera straight from Home in iOS (I'm not sure about Android support). No HomeKit Secure Video support, though, so you'll need to navigate the Arlo app to access your recorded clips.
And there's the app. While the setup process in the app is pretty nice as it takes your through the process step by step. Using the app (especially without a subscription) is kind of painful. Before I activated my trial subscription, there were ads EVERYWHERE in the app. A huge banner ads just always on the top of the app. Banner ads while scrolling through events. Large square ads wherever they could squeeze them. Just constantly being yelled at to buy more stuff or subscribe. It just made me feel icky using the app. Navigating the app was also not super intuitive and just not a fun experience in general.
Speaking of the subscriptions, there's two main flavors you can purchase (which do get rid of the ads in the app). $30/mo and $20/mo. The extra $10 gets your 24/7 home monitoring and emergency services as well as their Arlo Safe Family app subscription. Both subscriptions do cover unlimited devices which is nice and give you a bunch of AI detection features as well as expanded cloud storage for your clips. But if you're looking for continuous 24/7 recording... That'll cost you! Only another $15/mo... PER CAMERA! Everything about these business practices just made me feel gross.
Bottom line, these cameras are good enough for most people. They aren't going to blow your mind or anything. They're easy enough to set up and they do their job pretty well. But all of the shady upselling just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If you're fine with this, maybe consider these cameras. But I think I'd recommend at least shopping around a little bit first.

Good camera. Terrible business practices.
on November 2, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
Upfront, I'll say the biggest pain point for this camera system is the app. It shoves ads down your throat if you're not subscribed and just isn't very much fun to use. The camera itself works well enough. Even at 2K quality, the picture is nice and everything is easy enough to set up. I just hate the app a lot.
Setup was straight forward. The Arlo app walks you through the whole process pretty well. If you have a smart hub already, you have the option of connecting this camera to it or to your own wifi network. Since I already had a hub, it was nice to be able to connect this to that as well.
The app is not fun to use at all. Before I activated the subscription trial that comes with this camera, there were ads everywhere trying to get you to buy more stuff or subscribe to one of their plans. Like an banner ad was just always on top of the app. Then in your events, another banner ad would show up while scrolling through events. I'm pretty sure I remember a couple of large square ads as well. Navigating the app, in general, is not incredibly intuitive either and it was just not an enjoyable experience. That was just soured even more by being hit over the head at every tap with "BUY MORE!".
Speaking of buy more, there's two subscription tiers you can subscribe to. One for $20/mo and another for $30/mo. They both include unlimited cameras which is nice if you have a bunch of Arlo cameras. The extra $10/mo gets your 24/7 monitoring and a subscription to their Arlo Safe Family app. But wait, there's more! If you want continuous, 24/7 recording, that's going to cost you extra as well. Another $15/mo... PER CAMERA. Your camera also needs to be always plugged in and support continuous recording. I'm pretty sure this one does but I'm not subscribing to find out.
The camera itself is pretty good. It's 2K resolution still looks pretty nice next to the Arlo 4K cameras I have. Battery life is nice and if you have charging station (sold separately or included with the 4K 3-camera bundle) you can always have an extra battery waiting to get swapped when the camera starts to run low. It's a little strange that there's a setting for color night vision but you can't use it if you turn the spotlight off. So, essentially, their idea of "color night vision" is just "shine a bright, visible light on it".
Homekit is also supported so you can add this camera (or your whole hub) to your Home app on iOS. HomeKit Secure Video isn't supported, though, so you only have access to the live feeds. You'll still have to navigate the app when you want to check some clips.
Overall, I think you can shop around a little bit before pulling the trigger on this one. I was really turned off by all of the ads inside the app I need to control this product I already bought. If this doesn't bother you, maybe you'll be fine with these cameras. They do work pretty well and are simple to set up. But maybe look around for some other cameras that don't appear to want to squeeze every last dime out of you first.

Way too much upselling. Decent cameras.
on November 2, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
I'll just say up front that most of my mediocre response to these cameras had to do with how many ads and other upsells you have to deal with and weed through in the app. The cameras are decent enough and they're pretty easy to set up. It just, already, annoys me how many ads I have to look at in the app while already owning Arlo cameras.
Setup is easy enough. The biggest issue I ran into is that this bundle contains two power supply cords but doesn't label which one goes to which item. The jacks are the same size and looking at the quick start guide I kind of thought the larger supply looked like the one they had in the tiny picture for the hub. After wondering why the charger station wasn't working for a while, I realized I had them switched around. If you squint a lot, you can barely make out the power requirements for each item and then squint some more to find the specs of the power supply unit. A simple sticker that was easy to peal off would have been wonderful to give you an indicator about which power supply goes with which item.
After you get that sorted out, plugging the hub in to power and ethernet powers it up and makes it discoverable in the Arlo app. The app walks you through all of the categories of items you can add and even does a pretty good job at helping you know which version of the equipment you have by telling you which type of USB port it has or where buttons are located. Connecting cameras to the hub was just as simple. Everything just took a little bit of time for firmware updates on the initial setup but otherwise it was all straight forward.
The app is just not fun to use. In order to add these cameras, I was told I needed to "upgrade" my app. It didn't require a new download on my phone or anything, the app just paused for 10 seconds saying it was upgrading and then it was done. But the new "streamlined" interface just doesn't flow very well at all. It feels like things aren't in intuitive places and it takes some real thought to figure out how to navigate it. I'm sure if you use the app enough you can get used to it but it just doesn't feel good to use in general. And that's before even mentioning how many ads you have to wade through in just regular use. There's a big banner across the top of the app what seems like at all times. There's banner ads mixed into your feed of motion events. Every screen just screams at you to buy more Arlo stuff or purchase one of their subscription plans. This is in an app for controlling a not inexpensive set of hardware you already bought. Just leaves a real icky feeling all over.
Then there's the subscriptions. There's a $30/mo and a $20/mo subscription. They both include unlimited cameras which is nice at least. The $30/mo plan includes "Home Insurance Discount" and "Arlo Safe App Family Subscription" as well as "24/7 professional monitoring" and "Emergency response" on top of all the AI detection features and expanded cloud storage that the $20/mo plan includes. I will say, I got a trial subscription with another Arlo camera I got and that did seem to clear up the ads (until the trial expires). So you can add that as another perk to being a subscriber, I guess. If you're looking for 24/7 continuous recording, there's a separate subscription that costs $15/mo... PER CAMERA. So right back to the icky feeling here.
As far as the cameras go. They're nice enough. The 4K quality seems pretty good. I really like ultra-wide lens to get more of the room or outdoors in the frame. You can even adjust how wide the FOV is if you're looking to keep an eye on a smaller area. Everything is fairly basic and standard with most cameras that I've used. I do find it funny that there's a setting for color night vision, but you can't use that setting if you turn the spotlight off... so their idea of color night vision is just shine visible light at your scene. The standard infared night vision is fine too. Another strange decision is that they included 2 magnetic mounts and 1 standard screw in mount in the box. Couldn't spring for 3 of each so you could decide which way you want to mount all 3 of them, I guess.
The cameras aren't really a thing I have a problem with. They aren't mind blowing or anything but they get the job done. The quality looks good enough if you have a good signal. The battery life is pretty good and it's awesome that it comes with charging station so you can have two batteries (this bundle contains 1 extra battery, so you'll need to buy another one if you want two extras) on standby ready to swap in whenever one of the cameras starts to get low.
Homekit is also supported out of the box but no secure video. So you can view your cameras in your Home app but you won't be able to review clips or anything like that.
So all in all, I don't dislike this camera system. It works well. It's easy enough to set up. If you have your hub in a good spot to get good coverage on all of your cameras, you should have some smooth sailing. Being able to watch cameras in Home is a big plus as well since navigating the Arlo app just isn't fun for me. I feel like I will dread the time when my subscription trial expires and I need to review a clip in the app. If the app's functionality isn't a dealbreaker for you and you don't mind being yelled at constantly to buy more stuff, then maybe this system is for you. But I feel like you can shop around and find something that doesn't just want to squeeze you for every penny you have.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good for what they are. But they're not AirTags.
on October 22, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
If you're looking to track your items across large distances and ping off of other phones to extend the range, then these aren't for you. If you're looking for something cheaper that can track your things inside your home or make sure your kids don't leave something important at a pitstop on a long trip, these could be a good choice.
Setup is really easy. You pull the strip from the tag and add the device via Items in Find My on your phone (I don't know if they also work with Android phones, but I don't believe they do). Connection happened quickly and it was setup. I could give it a name and an emoji to identify it and it was ready to rock.
Something threw me off because we put one in my daughters backpack and the first day she went to school with it, it actually registered her location at school and then even the bus ride home updated a couple times. But since then, it seems like this will only track when the tag is nearby your phone. The specs say 65ft indoors or 165 outdoors (or something similar to that) and it works well when we're near by. The tags make sound so you can ping them from your phone so it makes noise to help you find it as well.
I'm not sure if the rogue ping the first day was it finding a phone it liked nearby and broadcasting it's location from that. But it seems like it eventually just stopped tracking when it leaves the range of mine or my wife's phone, now.
This makes these great for things like finding your keys in your phone or your kids backpacks (inside or around your house). If the location hasn't updated in a bit and says the item is still at home (but you know your kid left it at school somewhere), you just need to get your phone close enough to reach again and you'll be able to track it again. I agree, it limits what these can do compared to AirTags. But they are much cheaper and they do still have uses if you forget where you left your keys or your phone a lot.
If you want a cheap, short range locator tag, look into these. If you're looking into something to track items over distances or find stolen items, you might want to stick to AirTags.

Super smart power management
on October 7, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
I normally stick to the bigger names when it comes to my mouse needs, but this mouse stuck out for it's clever power management abilities. When you would normally need to plug in or set your mouse on a dock to charge it up, this one falls back on an internal battery while you swap the battery with an extra one that's been charging for you. Your mouse never loses power and the urgency to charge is completely gone. I'm a big fan.
Setup is pretty easy. There's a "dock" unit that you plug into your computer which charges your extra battery. The dock also contains an input for the wireless transceiver. Plug in the transceiver and hold the power button on the bottom of the mouse to turn it on and everything should just work for you.
The dock has four status lights that keep your updated on the status of various things you would need to know. I really like this information being on the dock because the dock sits on my desk. It wouldn't work quite as well if you try and hide it, but since it also charges your extra battery, I feel like having it readily available is pretty important. The status of the battery being charged is displayed along with the status of the battery that's in your mouse. You also have lights that indicate which polling rate and DPI you currently have set. The lights change color based on the setting so you'll get to know which color stands for which setting over time (the colors are displayed in the application as well).
The coolest (and frankly, simplest) idea that makes this mouse stand out is that there's a third, internal battery in the mouse. The "guardian" battery's status is displayed in the app (I think an extra led on the dock would have been nice for this). This extra battery means you can swap out the battery in your mouse without it ever disconnecting. It also means that there's no scrambling to do it when your battery is dead. Finish up your task and swap out the battery the next time you have 10 seconds of free time in your game. It's rare enough to find a mouse with a hotswappable battery (that isn't a AA), but it's crazy with how simple this idea is that an internal backup battery isn't more common.
The application is fairly lightweight and didn't ask me to sign in to anything (which is always appreciated). Updating firmware does require you to plug in your mouse but the whole process takes about 2 minutes so it's not a huge deal. The application also saves your settings to the actual mouse so you shouldn't need to keep the app running at all times. You have up to six DPI settings you can adjust as well as polling rate, a liftoff maximum distance, "debounce time" and standby time. Lighting settings are fairly basic but you can still adjust quite a bit. And then you can rebind every button on the mouse. It all works pretty intuitively and I'm a big fan after being forced to use software from Razer and Corsair and Logitech for so long.
The mouse feels good if you like this style of mouse. Doesn't feel too heavy or light for me. Clicks feels nice. Movement is smooth without any stutters or wireless issues. The only thing I would have loved to see is a smooth scrollwheel option (I've grown very used to having a clicky scroll wheel that switches to smooth if you scroll really fast) and being able to "click" the scroll wheel to the left and right. Other than those two things, this mouse has everything you could want.
If you're in the market and this mouse feels good for you, I'm finding it to be quite nice. If it fits your budget, give it some consideration.

A little awkward with an alright sound (sometimes)
on October 2, 2025
Posted by: swemoney
These are very different than a lot of headphones I've used and tested. I was drawn to this pair for it's unique design. After using them for a little bit, though, I'm not so sure I prefer this style. That's a fairly subjective opinion and I still think there's room for them even with me, but they aren't my favorite things.
Setup was a little more of a hassle than usual. It wasn't a huge thing but connecting them to my phone was a little weird, initially. Then I had a constant random dropout on the left ear so I worked on resetting them and that took a little bit of work too. Eventually, I got them working right.
The app is fairly light weight and doesn't make you create an account (which is always a plus for me). There's a handful of settings you can adjust. I found the low latency mode really nice to eliminate latency while playing a game. You can customize what the button on each bud does when you press them 1, 2 or 3 times or when you hold them for 1 second. By default, each bud is the same but the app lets you customize them on a per bud basis which is nice. Multi-point pairing is actually really cool and allows you to connect to pair and connect to two devices at the same time and get audio from both of them without needing to disconnect and reconnect.
The fit is pretty nice but it's a little bit awkward getting it right. Maybe you can really get used to it but I haven't found that spot yet. It feels like it takes me a few seconds to find the spot on my ear to wrap the bud around and then situate it properly to get good sound. When it IS situated, it stays put pretty good. It also feels good. There's not a lot of pressure on the ears where it's clipped but it's strong enough to keep it in place. My biggest gripe is just removing and replacing the buds. They're also a little awkward to get out of the nice, fancy carry case/charger too.
Sound is... alright. Like many headphones, you can get different sounds based on how they're positioned. These have a really wide range from my usage. I've found it easier to find the sweet spot over a little bit of time but it takes some maneuvering when putting them on. When you get them into a really good position, they sound pretty good. Not the best earbuds I've used for sure, but they sound good enough. If they're off a bit, they sound like they'd work great for audiobooks or podcasts. This isn't a knock on them at all, it's usually the first position I get them into when I put them on and it's mainly just because the actual speaker is a little further from actually going into my ear. This position also offers more awareness of your surroundings.
The charging case is really cute. It's a little clutch looking thing. Very fancy. I like it. It's easy enough to put the earbuds away for charging but they're a little awkward to get back out again.
Overall, I like the headphones mainly for podcasts and audiobooks. I'm not a huge fan of the sound of these for music. But I do like the comfort for long audiobooks and podcasts, though. If they fall into your budget, give them a wear first if you can.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good feeling controller with a nostolgic vibe

I really liked the concept of this controller. Just being modular and being able to change things up based on your needs. I've been able to change thumb sticks and D-Pads in the past but never been able to swap and flip full parts of the controller before. On top of that, it's a pretty solid controller too.
Setup could be a breeze in most circumstances. The exception being if you want to update the controllers firmware. Plug in the dongle to your PC, PS4 or PS5 and switch the controller to that mode and you should be all set to go. You can also switch the controller into wired more if you'd rather use a cord. I really like that all the modes have physical switches instead of some button combination and looking out for a certain number of flashing lights to see what mode you're in. It's all very clear.
You might run into an issue, though, with running the actual official software for the device on your PC, though. It takes some real doing to get the software to actually recognize that you have the controller connected. The support page they tell you to click when they tell you there might be a driver conflict somewhere doesn't exist and a little bit of Google says this has been an issue for well over a year so I have no idea why they haven't done anything about it. Results may vary since people seem to have found different solutions, but I had to disable the Xbox driver support in Steam and disable everything in the controller settings aside from "Generic Controller Support". After a reboot, the software was finally able to see the controller so you can update, customize and test everything out. That was a fairly small hiccup but it was quite annoying to have to find my own solution so early into owning this controller. And to see the issue has existed for so long, it doesn't give me a lot of hope for hope maintained their software is and is going to be in the future.
Using the controller is actually quite nice. It's got the right amount of weight to it so it doesn't feel cheap. The D-Pad (with the cross cap) feels really good. The standard buttons are nice and quiet and feel nice to press. The analog sticks are hall-effect so they aren't going to suffer from any stick drift and feel really smooth and accurate. The touchpad feels fine, if a tiny bit small. The click of the touchpad might feel a little too soft but it's not bad. The back paddles are defaulted to the standard 4 face buttons so you might want to change those because I accidentally hit back paddles all the time. Triggers are lockable but do maintain some analog-ness if you press them hard enough. The process for locking and unlocking the triggers is a bit strange (you have to hold the springloaded switch on the back and press the trigger down to unlock it). All in all, everything about the function of the controller really does feel premium and very good to control.
If I had to find a downside (aside from the PC software issue), it would be a pretty superficial one. While the controller doesn't "feel" cheap. All of the components feel good to use. The overall design of the controller definitely screams of the old school third party controllers from the 90's and early 00's. It just looks like there's a lot going on. The start and select buttons are taking up a whole side of the touch pad. Then all the switches for mode selection (which I said I liked). The extra button under the touch pad, The 4 paddles. All of the screws on top. It's very busy looking and reminds me of the old school controllers that tries to throw every gimmick at the wall to sell to you. I'm not a huge fan of the overall design is what I'm saying. But that doesn't speak towards the actual function of the controller which is one of the best feels I'd had.
Swapping out and rotating modules is super easy. There's a tiny screwdriver included in the case and you just undo 2 screws (that don't fall out when they're unscrewed) and pull the module out. Put the new one in or rotate so the analog sticks are on the other side. Whatever you like, and then screw the screws back in. I don't see myself swapping or switching modules all that often but my only concern is if you DO intend to do that, I hope the screws don't eventually start to strip and get loose. I haven't had any issues with the dozen or so swaps that I did while testing, though.
Overall, I really like this controller. I think it will be my new daily driver just based on how nice the analog sticks and buttons feel. Being able to rearrange things is just a nice bonus. I am not able to tell you if you think these perks are worth the sticker price of this item, but I can say that I'm a big fan and controllers aren't cheap these days.

With no wires in the way, Bose SoundSport Wireless Sports Earbuds keep you moving with powerful audio. Perfect for exercise and running with a sweat and weather resistant design and StayHear+ tips designed for comfort and stability. The Tile app makes your headphones easy to find if they ever go missing.
Is it possible to remove that clip on the wire?
Clip is formed plastic around the wire, so not unless you break the clip. You can move it up and down the wire. I barely noticed it, myself.

Is this earphone compatible with Andriod phone?
I didn't test them out on an Android device, but they're bluetooth headphones. So if your Android device supports Bluetooth audio, they should work fine.
