StarTech USB to Bluetooth 2.1 Adapter


Never Did Get It To Work
This was disappointing.  I followed the instructions faithfully and could not get this to be seen by a Windows 10 desktop.   I have attached photos of the screens I got.  Number 3 on the installation instructions said to enter the folder “Bluetooth Dongle”, there was no such folder.  I went to the “Setup.exe”  and 20 minutes later it finally stopped installing.  I rebooted as requested and then plugged in the adapter(step 5). Windows was supposed to automatically detect and then install drivers.  It did neither.  I went to my Bluetooth icon and told it to turn on. It said “turning on”, I went to lunch and came back and it still said turning on.  Another annoying thing that is not specific to this product is the tiny cd’s that have the installation software on them.  My computer system has a CD/DVD drive that is vertically mounted which meant I had to lay it on its side after multiple aborted attempts to keep the tiny little CD from falling out.  Twice it fell out in the machine and that was a joy getting it back out.   For me this product did not work.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
