$26 Portta PETHRV HDMI to Component Converter
I’ve been using the $49 Gang Hu HDMI splitter for the past three months, but recently discovered the Portta PETHRV HDMI to Component YPbPr + R/L Audio Converter v1.3 1080P – Not for Windows 10 which is half the cost at $26. I was curious how the two devices compared, so I bought one.
Why do we value gold?
I’ve been toying with the idea of investing in gold directly or having some exposure to it (and silver) in my investment portfolio.

The coverage of the new Nikon D500 has got me with a super bad case of camera lust. My D750 has done a great job of fending this feeling off for the past year, but it was inevitable that it wouldn’t last, right? My backup body is a D7200 and has really seen little use …
Dim those annoying LED lights on electronic devices!
Isn’t it amazing how bright those little LED lights are on electronic devices? I had been using the standard chargers for my iPhone and iPad, but needed a third charger for my wireless headphones. I bought a nice four-port USB charger to sit on my nightstand. It had a tiny blue LED and I didn’t …
