NOMOROBO Rocks!



Recently we were out to dinner with some friends.   One of the friends lavishly praised me for telling her about NOMOROBO.  NOMOROBO is a free service which stops nuisance calls.  You implement their service on their website.. https://www.nomorobo.com/   LINK
NOMOROBO ROCKS!

You then go to your carrier's website and follow NOMOROBO's instructions to set up their software on your phone carriers site.   Once that is accomplished you will get a test call from NOMOROBO and you are done.   It WORKS!

I changed carriers recently due to my inability to reach any human being at Verizon.  They had upped my bill 33%.   Needless to say I was unhappy.   After over two weeks of trying to get the billing issue resolved, I changed to Comcast.   Ironically when I called to disconnect FIOS, the service rep apologized and said, "oh we would never want to lose an account over $50.00."  Too bad I didn't get her when I was trying to resolve my issues.  

However digression aside, due to the switch I had to update my NOMOROBO.   What prompted the update was the number of annoyance calls that proliferated in the short time I had left FIOS.   I was forcefully reminded how much I hate those calls.   So this morning I updated my NOMOROBO and am listening to the silence of no crap calls.  

BTW I did like FIOS but the X1 system from Xfinity and their voice activated remote are truly awesome. 

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Arlo Security System by NETGEAR – 6 Wire–Free HD Cameras, Indoor/Outdoor, Night Vision (VMS3630B)

This is an interesting system.  The absolutely wire free aspect is great, particularly if you have a wife is diametrically opposed to visible cables.   The visual aspect of the cameras is great even at night.  The installation or setup was a breeze.   The cameras synced quickly with no issues.   The required an immediate upgrade via download and four of the six cameras did that flawlessly.   The other two took multiple restarts to get the update successfully accepted.   The phone software works well and I was easily able to see the cameras remotely.   So my initial impression is very positive. I did receive this system in exchange for an honest review.   The documentation for this system is abysmal.   There is no identification on the cameras to determine which of Arlo’s cameras they may be.  This makes it difficult to determine what is expected of the camera.   ...

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase, ...
