3 "new" Sonos Roam SLs don't hold charge out of the box - did I get pwned?

I just purchased three ROAM SLs that were listed as “new” on a big box electronic store website but sold through a third party “marketplace seller”.  While attempting setup on one unit I kept encountering numerous errors (Errors 36 and 1032/1002 on mobile,  888 on the windows desktop app...), all of which suggested a hangup in software/firmware updates. Ok, no sweat I thought - we’ll ...

Are there any portable soldering irons with USB charging?

I visited an electronics store two days ago to look for portable soldering irons with USB charging. I wanted something compact for quick repairs. But when I checked the options I felt confused. Some irons looked portable but had limited power. Some supported USB charging but unclear heating performance. Some did not clearly explain battery life. I could not trust them and decide confidently. Then...

How do top-freezer fridges stack up against bottom-freezer models when it comes to energy efficiency?

The fridge we had for a bit died after 12 years of faithful service and now I'm in the process of choosing a new. I’ve been going round and round as to what I should do, part of it is based on the top freezer versus bottom freezer, with the primary concern being energy use, because electric bills are no joke. From what I’ve read looking into appliances top freezer refridges tend to be more ef...

FRA EES - Why Still a Manual Check after Kiosk?

I’m a USA Citizen. Visited Germany this week and used the EES Kiosks for the first time on entry / exit. I get the need to electronically store data. Nearly every country does this. But why on earth do I need to wait I in a long line to get my passport checked after I’ve completed the EES process? Seems unnecessary and redundant. If I pass EES I should be able to use an automatic border c...

Bose QuietComfort Ultra headband not large enough at max extension

I tried both the Bose QuietComfort and Bose QuietComfort Ultra at an electronics store today. I have a large head, and even with the headband at max extension and wearing nothing else, the Ultra didn’t feel large enough for me because the ear cups were sitting too high on my ears. I also tried both the Ultra Gen 1 and Gen 2, and they seemed to fit exactly the same. I then tried the standard Qui...

AT LP60X

I’ve been looking to get into vinyl and have been debating what turntable to start with. Initially I wanted something more expensive and upgradeable with no built-in preamp, but since I’d need the full setup (turntable, preamp, amp, speakers, accessories), the cost adds up fast. Now I found the AT-LP60X at a local electronics store for 30% off, which has me reconsidering. I’m thinking it mi...

But they’re also pretty expensive, and I’m sitting here wondering if I really *need* to spend that much or if ...

Thinking about opening a store. I’m based in St Ann, north coast. I am not fully sure what I’d sell.

A seller called Atech Electronics Store from Morocco are offering a PS5 disc edition for 45k. Should I buy from them. Since its a disc edition and they also told me I can do an EMI, is there a bit of less risk involved?
