The massager incorporates an internal airbag that surrounds your feet and incorporates kneading, air compression, heating and vibration stimulation with four massage modes, five intensity levels and two temperature settings. These features are easily adjusted to your desired liking by the included remote control. The unique remote storage slot built into the main frame prevents the remote from easily being lost or misplaced. The wireless remote’s adjustments allow for setting the heat’s temperature to between 104° and 113° F, the vibration strength, amount of air compression and kneading and are displayed on a smart touch panel.

A timer feature allows you to adjust just how long you would like these various features to operate on your feet with a maximum setting of thirty minutes. Naturally, you can easily repeat this therapy by simply reactivating the massager’s remote, and if you like also making various setting adjustments to your desired liking. The Allyounger Shiatsu Foot Massager is truly designed as an international product since it works with 110V (US), 220/240V (UK EU) power sources and only consumes 40 watts of power. The foot sleeves are breathable and removable for easy cleaning and washing, ensuring good foot hygiene. My experience and results have been outstanding with this device! Give it a try. It may offer you pain relief, improved blood circulation and much more and the use before bedtime may even enhance your sleep quality.

APPLE AIRTAG 10-YEAR BATTERY CASE

ELEVATION LAB AIRTAG 10-YEAR BATTERY CASE ~ An Air Tag Case With Long Life Replaceable Batteries…. BOB SKIDMORE, CORRESPONDENT - © 2025 (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) The introduction of Apple’s AIRTAG is a major step in keeping track of your belongings such as keys, purses, suitcases and especially automobiles. If you have one you already know that it’s a round device about the size of a quarter and by removing the silver cover you can easily replace the CR2032 button battery. Elevation Lab has developed and introduced a unique and practical case that houses the electronic portion of the AirTag and gives it an up to a ten year battery life span and thus does not have the appearance of an AirTag. The case itself is waterproof featuring an ultra-strong fiber reinforced composite construction and its look is not easily identifiable by any would-be thief. Yes, it’s a bit larger, 4.45” long x 1.57” wide x 0.57” thick, so it can accommodate two commonly available AA batteries and is held in place by 4 hex screws with a special wrench supplied with the kit.

The Elevation Lab case easily tucks away in your purse, or suitcase and fits well in the pouch located in the rear backside portion of the front passenger seat of your car. Since you permanently remove the AirTag’s cover you no longer have to deal with having to remove it since the button battery is no longer being used. This always became quite a task especially as the AirTags aged which resulted in difficulty to open and close the round housing’s silver cover. Replacement of the two AA batteries is very easy. It would be advisable to check these two batteries every couple of years for possible corrosion even though the manufacturer claims a ten year battery life span. Using AirTags in your car is a very practical use. Since you can easily track the location on your iPhone, computer, or iPad, law enforcement will have a much easier job to locate your car and probably the thieves as well. I highly recommend the Elevation Lab case and, of course, the use of APPLE AIRTAGS.

CAREGIVER FULLHOUSE WIRELESS CALL BUTTON

CAREGIVER FULLHOUSE WIRELESS CALL BUTTON ~ Easily Call For Help In Your Home…. © 2025 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) How many times have you wished that there was a simple way to signal others within your home, apartment, or condo unit that you need help, or assistance? Perhaps you fell, or are simply in some other way incapacitated. The CAREGIVER FULLHOUSE WIRELESS CALL BUTTON is a great practical solution. Yes, the name implies caregiver, but this solution applies to anyone living in virtually any kind of residence. The operational range can be up to 1000 feet in an open air environment from the transmitter to 500 feet if there are walls. The system is waterproof, but not submersible. Once installed, the way it works is you have what I’ll call a remote panic button that you can keep in a place where it will be in easy reach should you need to alert someone that you have an issue. A receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet and contains a loud chime, or other selectable sound. So, when the panic button on the remote is depressed it sounds a two second loud sound. Naturally, you can repeat this if necessary, or by holding the button down for more than five seconds the system goes into the emergency call mode unless you press the volume/music button on the receiver to stop the alarm. When the emergency call mode is activated the alarm will sound continuously for 20 minutes unless you shut it off. You can of course repeat this for additional 20 minute periods if necessary. It may also be possible to place a receiver in an apartment above, or below you, or a house next door. You’ll want to test this out to ensure that the signal reaches a receiver placed in such a neighbor’s location. It is possible to personalize the system to allow for each transmitter to have a different tone so a person responding will know where to look for the person in need. Such settings are clearly explained in the instructions provided with the unit. This system is available in various bundles: 1 call button + 1 plug-in receiver $17.99; 2 call buttons + 1 plug-in receiver $21.95; 2 call buttons + 3 plug-in receivers $35.00; 2 call buttons + 4 plug-in receivers $43.19 and 3 call buttons + 2 plug-in receivers $32.39. To sum up, this is a very reliable system for summoning help. Be sure to routinely replace batteries in each call button. Perhaps add a label with the date when last replaced to ensure proper operation when you need it. MSRP: Depends on bundle purchased. See above for available bundles.

YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY ~ Possible Aftermath After Cataract Surgery....

YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY ~ Possible Aftermath After Cataract Surgery…. (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT © 2025 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This may be a bit off the typical gadget articles I write, but it’s very important information regarding the possible aftermath of having necessary Cataract surgery. Understand that while you’re reading this that I’m not a Medical professional, but highlighting my own experience and newly found knowledge. Cataract surgery is a clouding of the natural lens in your eye that you are born with. This lens is normally clear. When clouding occurs, it keeps light rays from passing through the lens and focusing on the retina. The retina is a thin layer of nerve tissue that lines the inside of the back of the eye and is sensitive to light. Cataracts become more of a noticeable nuisance as we get older, typically after the age of 40. When they start to appear, they are the result of the proteins in the lens of your eye breaking down and clumping together. This clump makes a cloudy area on your lens and is known as a cataract. It result in blurry, hazy, or less colorful vision. Again, most cataracts happen due to natural changes in your eyes as we get older. The typical medical remedy for cataracts is surgery resulting in a procedure to remove the lens of the eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. While this procedure is an immediate remedy it may not be the final end to your problem. I had Cataract surgery a couple of years ago and thought this issue was behind me only to learn that a YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY was now necessary in one eye. Yag Laser Capsulotomy is a procedure to help you to see clearly after you’ve had Cataract surgery. You may need this type of surgery because months, or even years after Cataract surgery, your vision may get fuzzy again. This happens when a membrane in your eye, known as the posterior capsule, becomes cloudy. Unfortunately, since this issue, while common, only happens in some cases, you may not be advised of such a possible reoccurrence after your Cataract surgery. The procedure takes less than a minute and does not require all the pre/post preparation and care that Cataract surgery does. It also may only happen in one of your eyes, and yes, I know of a recent case where it happened days after the original Cataract surgery. So, I hope this was informative and you never need to have this done!

iPHONE FOR DUMMIES 2025 ~ The Missing Manual They Did Not Include

iPHONE FOR DUMMIES 2025 ~ Your iPhone 16 User Manual That Was Missing When You Bought Your Phone.... BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT © 2025 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column on the Web, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) It seems that products you purchase these days no longer include an adequate USER MANUAL. Some products include what appears to be a very basic product spec sheet, but no actual manual and Apple is no exception. So, here’s where the latest edition of “Dummies books” solves the problem. iPHONE FOR DUMMIES ~ 2025, written by Guy Hart - Davis, a previous Dummies book series, author, has come to the rescue. I’ve read other publications on this topic for this article and none come even close to the in-depth, easy-to-understand, iPHONE FOR DUMMIES ~ 2025 manual! First, let me make clear that the use of the word “DUMMIES” does not imply that you are a “dummy”! Quite the contrary, after all you made the purchase of an exceptional iPhone product! iPHONE FOR DUMMIES, 2025 EDITION, covers the iPhone basics, as well as the specific features of iPhone 16 and some earlier models. It also teaches you how to set up your phone and how to navigate the latest iOS. It includes detailed feature explanations to aid you in making phone and FaceTime calls, send texts, get online, play games, shoot video and many, many other amazing things your smartphone can do that you probably did not know. What’s also very useful and handy for quick reference is the detailed index at the back of the book, something that’s lacking in many competitive publications. Here you can quickly be directed to a page(s) and chapters that will answer specific issues that you need answers to. Topics like sending texts by emergency SOS via satellite (page 178). Detailed explanations on calling features are highlighted in Chapter 7 (page 127). The one I really appreciate is how you can easily make conference calls and all the special features available within this conference call feature. Did you know that depending on your carrier you may be able to conference as many as five to ten people typically? That’s what I mean, this book is chocked full of numerous informative features that can truly benefit your iPhone experience. A must have and true reference that every iPhone user will appreciate and will definitely want to keep on their desk for quick review! It truly will become your iPhone reference book manual that pays for itself many times over!

LOFTERN PIZZA CUTTER ~ Pizza Cutting Made Much Easier....

LOFTERN PIZZA CUTTER ~ Pizza Cutting Made Much Easier…. © 2025 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) Cutting pizza slices can be quite messy. It doesn’t matter if you ordered a pizza from a pizzeria, prepared one from scratch, or bake a frozen one, cutting slices can be a real messy chore. Loftern has made the cutting task very easy with their Non-Stick Pizza Scissors. Its safe design incorporates a sharp blade that makes for sturdy and reliable use. It incorporates a non-slip grip with a strong spring action handle. It is food grade and dishwasher safe and includes a non-stick base.

It features a 5” cutting profile that can easily slice through bread, herbs, wraps, bagels, meat and many other foods besides pizza. It’s also perfect for cutting fruit and vegetables. The LOFTERN PIZZA CUTTER is made of premium food grade stainless steel that’s designed to cut through the thickest crusts with ease and no mess. I’ve tested similar scissor pizza cutters by various competitors and they simply do not measure up to this one. Some that I tested had the plastic handle break. Repeated applications of Super Glue did not help. Other models also were quite difficult to position for a proper pizza slice. Interestingly enough I was first introduced to this concept on a trip to Sweden. That model also failed the durability and use tests that I subjected it to. I highly recommend the LOFTERN PIZZA CUTTER! You’ll not be disappointed!!! Enjoy your PIZZA!

EMAIL SCAM DETECTION REVEALED

EMAIL/TEXT SCAM MESSAGES DETECTED Easy Steps You Can Follow To Reveal The Sender…. (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT © 2025 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED It seems that every day we receive more bogus emails, and now more recently, text messages, advising us that we owe money for services, and/or fines. Probably 99% of these are spam hoping that you will fall for their pitches and give up private information such as your credit, or debit card account details. Be advised that true official notifications such as I’ve described generally come by mail, or post in official envelopes and not by email, or texts. Also, official, real notifications come on official letterhead with the agency’s actual address and phone number which you can easily verify. You can verify the true sender of an email by putting your computer’s cursor over the sender’s info and clicking on it. You will now see the actual sender’s email address which will reveal that it’s probably fake. It will become obvious that this address bears no resemblance to an entity that the email claims to be from. In fact, many such phony addresses show up as being sent from foreign countries as indicated by the use of two-letter country ids. (DE-Germany; GB-UK; KR-So Korea) A current popular spam email claims to advise you that your Apple storage is full putting you at risk of all your photos and important data being erased.

So, verify the sender’s true email address as shown below:

These fraudsters are now reverting to the use of text messages to imply the same false information. They pose as agencies advising you that you have toll fines, or unpaid tickets and if not paid at once you will lose your driver’s license, in addition to being fined, etc. Once again, no official information such as vehicle type, license plate, state, city, or county information and date of violation is provided. Even your name and address are missing as is the location where the alleged violation took place. So, bottom line, verify such notices by contacting the official agency and not any agency information, email addresses, or phone numbers listed on the email, or text. Don’t be a sucker!!!
