Fitbit Aria 2 Review – Finally A Good Fat % Scale!

If you’re familiar with the whole Fitbit ecosystem, then this will be kind of a usual scale to you. I hadn’t seen all that many reviews on this one, so I thought I’d give you guys my two cents based on my experience and let you know what I thought about it. Should mention too that I found a pretty good deal on it, and I’ll put a link below in the description for you guys so you guys can check that out. Okay, so first of all, if you want kind of the short version of this review, I did a lot of research on smart scales, and this is the one to get in my opinion. It works the best; it measures the things that you need to measure in the most accurate sense. Out of all the ones I’ve tested and tried, this is the one I like the most by far. Fitbit has done a good job. I don’t know if it’s because they have used the technology in their smart watches and smart exercise bracelets for a long time, it’s the same kind of technology they put into the scale. But what does this thing measure? It measures your weight, it measures your body fat percentage, it measures your lean mass, and it measures your BMI. Those are pretty much the four most important things to measure when you’re using a smart scale. Now, the body fat percentage is always the hardest thing for scales

Adidas Ultra Boost Review 2018 – Are They Still The King Of Comfort?

Hey guys, how’s it going? Today I want to do just kind of a quick review on what I think are the most comfortable running shoes that I’ve ever worn in my entire life, by a long margin. And kind of no surprise, but if you’ve read some of the reviews on these things, but they’re the Adidas Ultra Boosts. These have taken the world by storm; I guess you could say, over the last few years. Quite a few reviews out there and I thought I’d give my two cents, just based on my experience with them. Should be mentioned, too, I found a pretty decent deal on these, and I’ll put a link in the description below so you guys can check that deal out. So these, the big thing with these shoes are the boost foam. Adidas invented this new kind of technology that it looks like styrofoam, but it’s not. I mean it feels, it’s much more durable. It almost feels like rubber, but it looks like styrofoam. And what it does is, it’s just like this super polymer that can store and release energy exceptionally efficiently. So it’s a different feeling when you run in them. First of all, if you want to wear these for just an everyday shoe, they look cool, and they’re incredibly comfortable. Like I said, the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. The boost, what it does kind of, is it gives you almost a little spring in your step

Adidas Terrex AX2R Review – Finally The Ultimate Hiking Shoe

Today I want to do just my review for you guys on the Adidas Terrex AX2R shoes. So this is one of Adidas’ higher-end hiking shoes. And a lot of people like them, myself included. For one, they’re very, very comfortable. I noticed in the past that a lot of hiking shoes aren’t always the most comfortable in the world, but these surprisingly are. They have a pretty thick rubber sole that’s pretty stiff, which is important when you’re hiking. It’s stiffer than a typical trail running shoe, but maybe a little more flexible than a typical high top hiking boot. It’s a good in between. You get the best of both worlds. If you’re not nuts about just stiff hiking boots, but you think a trail running shoe might be a little bit too soft, this would be a good choice. Another thing I really like about these shoes is that they’re very lightweight. You definitely don’t feel like you’re wearing a heavy biking boot with one of these things. They are about the same weight as a typical trail running shoe, which is really nice. The Traxion outsole grips very, very well. And I’ve found that the midsole holds your foot very good, but it offers a lot of padding too so you don’t feel all the little rocks quite as much as you would more of a minimalist shoe. As far as the fit goes on them, they may run just a tad wide. And they are

How To Fix iPhone Extreme Temperature Warnings

Nothing is as frustrating as not being able to use your phone when you badly want to. iPhones tend to lose their functionality in extremely warm or cold places. That is because the phones have a specific operating temperature, which is between 32° and 95° Fahrenheit. When the temperatures are too high or too low say between -4° to 113° F your iPhone will be non-operational. If you get the warning message to cool down or warm your iPhone, here are ways you can resolve that. Resolving temperature alerts on iPhone depends on the warning sign you have been given. How to fix Temperature Warnings issue Operating, Non-Operating and Dangerous Temperatures iPhones like we have earlier said operate between 32° and 95° F. The non-operating temperature range from -4° and 31° F on the lower end and the upper limit begin from 96° to 113° F. This temperature can severely damage your device because when the rechargeable lithium-ion battery is exposed to such temperatures, its properties are altered leading to permanent damage of your phone. When you get this warning what you need to do is safely store your phone and avoid using it completely on that environment. High-Temperature Warnings Overheating occurs when you expose your iPhone directly to the sun because its fabric attracts and stores heat. Also, it can happen when you overload or multitask your phone. Overheating can also occur when you restore from a backup or when you set up your device for the first

Apple now preventing third-party Repairs for MacBooks with T2 Chip

According to a recent confirmation by Apple, the Company’s latest security chip T2 will hinder repairs by third parties to some extent. When answering a question from The Verge, Apple confirmed that third parties would not repair some parts of its new MacBooks such as the logic board and touch ID components. As a result, any of the new MacBook users will have to visit an authorized Apple service provider to repair any of the named parts. However, the company did not clarify if the same is true for the T2 chips of the iMac Pro released last year. The rumors that Apple was going to block third parties from repairing some of its MacBooks parts first came to light last month when a confidential document was found by Motherboard and MacRumors. From the record, it suggested that only authorized Apple service providers will have a unique software that will determine whether some parts of a given MacBook are original. It was later revealed by iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens that the MacBook T2 Chip is the one being held by Apple. The main aim of the chip is to make sure that only authorized personnel can perform critical repairs and gain more control over who accesses the parts. It is thought the move is to have more market shares and shun off independent repair service providers. On the other hand, the movement might be one that ensures Apple’s authorized network remains in line. It is tough to figure out

Your old Apple TV is OBSOLETE!

With the Apple TV 4G offering of 32 or 64 GB storage and a Siri Remote, the 2nd Generation Apple TV is officially considered obsolete just about everywhere except California and the country of Turkey. Service providers anywhere else are unable to order replacement parts and all hardware service has been discontinued with no exceptions. There is, generally speaking, a 7 year period from the time of being discontinued until the time it is considered obsolete by Apple. Having just been discontinued in March of 2012, this 2nd Generation Apple TV could still be listed as “vintage” for two more years, but Apple does have the right to discontinue support for products considered to be obsolete at any point in time. The 2nd Generation Apple TV with A4 processor was introduced in September 2010. It came with a modified iOS 4 platform, and also removed it internal storage to suit streaming video needs. The 3rd Generation Apple TV replaced this in March 2012, and has an A5 processor, while doubling the memory and adding 1080p HD output. After a minor change to the 3rd Generation unit in January 2013, it was eventually discontinued in October of 2016. Currently, Apple has the Apple TV 4G version. This has either 32 or 64 GB of on-board flash storage, and the Siri Remote. Rumors swirl that a fifth-generation version with 4K video support may be coming next. Apple.com has the complete list of vintage and obsolete products.
