Right. This is how we would treat one another, as we are not public reviewers trying to provide objective and unbiased information to the public viewers/consumers. Given their professions, GN's response is in no way wrong. Quietly doing this under closed doors would be a disservice to Billet Labs as the public would not have known about the issue at hand, not to mention would be a serious conflict of interest.

I keep seeing this same false fallacy argument pass around so often. Neither LMG is entitled to a private discussion nor is GN required to contact LMG before making a public ethical complaint based on LMG's public video. If the case had been GN found a backdoor to LMG's servers and publicly announced the exploit without informing LMG, then that would be a valid argument for needing private discussion. Speaking privately about mistakes and misrepresented information on a live, public video would be a voluntary courtesy. This could have happened except for Linus ranted and clearly implied GN and HUB on the WAN more than once; burning bridges on his own accord. Making this argument that GN should have spoken to Linus privately beforehand would be equivalent to a company requiring me to message them before putting up a bad review for a faulty product.

I was so confused reading the title. Thought it meant Apple was going to use an AIO liquid cooler, then i realized AIO computer.

Desk pads back in stock!

Yea, I'm waiting on the restock too. Shouldn't have hesitated on buying one consider that all sizes are the same price.

Micro LEDs are made on wafers, the same as CPUs that have transistors in the nano-meter scale. So, I don't really see how it is impossible to have a high screen resolution in an extremely small package. Cost being the only barrier to entry.

Yup, as long as you have the current line in settings with the "Listen to this device" toggled on.

I can't really think of anything besides uninstalling and reinstalling your audio drivers. As a safety measure you should probably also uninstall any software that changes or controls sound.

I always only buy keyboards with PBT keycaps since my fingers for whatever reason seem to be pretty oily. Within a few months the ABS keycaps would start to look shiny from the oils polishing the plastic surface. Most ABS keycaps that allow RGB light to shine through are usually white underneath and coated in black for the legend. So in addition to the caps polishing, the legends on my most used keys would start to fade. This happened on the Logitech G810 and a replacement set of caps for the proprietary Romer-G switches was $25 which would still give me the same problem later. No such issues with double-shot PBT keycaps. In terms of which keyboard brands, I always like Ducky keyboards since they have the tightest tolerance for switch variance, possibly from some internal switch binning. And they come with double-shot PBT keycaps. I would pick up the Ducky One 2 TKL. I'm not sure how shipping works in the EU, but CaseKing and CandyKeys are offical retailers for Ducky keyboards. The only scenario I see the Glorious GMMK or the Logitech G Pro X would be worth buying is if you intend to use hot-swappable switches. Otherwise you are paying more for features you don't use.

I think what you're doing is overloading the microphone and giving it too much gain/power. I'd assume that there is more gain on your desktop than laptop. So I would go into the control panel and slowly increase the "Levels" until you reach the point where it overloads or "screams". Then just get it back the last level setting that worked fine to get the maximum volume.

I pick up the Hifiman Sundara if you're looking for planar magnetic headphones. Or if you're willing to buy used, then I would probably reccomend the Audeze LCD-2 which has better sound stage and much better bass slam. For the amp, I would go with the Schiit Magni Heresy if you're looking for absolute clarity and unchanged sound and just power amplification to the headphones. Or get the Schiit Magni 3+ if you want an amp to slightly change the sound to be a little warm. The DAC I would reccomend the Schiit Modi 3 measures slightly better and stacks nicely with the Schiit amp, or the Topping D30.

You can also go with the Schiit Fulla 3, but it is currently out of stock. Otherwise, I don't see many good options below €150 besides the ones already mentioned.

You got it wrong. Toslink optical is a digital format in the form of a light beam. Most toslink cables end in the standard box protecting actual glass/plastic fiber cable around it. What you did was just remove the outer plastic box/border since some Toslink connections use the 3.5mm standard. While the 3.5mm line in at the back of your motherboard is an analog 3.5mm audio jack. If you want to send audio from your Xbox to your PC that way then you need a DAC that converts the toslink optical into 3.5mm audio out. Then you can use it as a line in.

Just a heads up on the Etymotics. You have to literally rape your ear canals to get them deep enough to seal right. Otherwise they are going to sound pretty bad and flat. After a while you will get use to doing it. They use the triple flange tips, so comfort might not be the best. But the positive from such a deep insertion is the best noise isolation of an in-ear monitors. Worked extremely well in situations like an airplane, blocks the noise without any active noise cancellation.

IMO the Fiio desktop DAC/Amp combos are pretty poor performing and feel cheaply made, on the other hand their portable DAC/Amp are pretty good. I would probably go with the iFi Zen DAC based on your options.

Depends on what sound signature you like and are looking for. Both in-ears are quite outdated and outclassed by other options. The Shure SE535 are mid focused and completely tone deaf in the treble and bass from my memory when I used to own them. While the Sennheiser are V-shaped, personally never listened to them. At your price range I would take a look at the Fiio FH5 or the Etymotic ER2XR.

For the headphones if you want open back I would go with the Sennheiser HD 58X or for closed back the AKG 371. As for the amplifier, I would recommend the Schiit Magni Heresy. But, if you the Magni Heresy with the ModMic then you would have to split the two cables. The headphone cable would be going to your amplifier and the microphone cable into the PC. Depending on far apart those two are, it might be an annoyance. If you want to keep the headphone and microphone cable together then I would look at buying the Schiit Fulla 3 or the Schiit Hel if you think you want more features and power.

Then based on the options available on Amazon UK website. Best bets for bluetooth is the Sennheiser Momentum Free and for wired earphones I'd pick the Fiio F9 Pro or Focal Sphear S.

The Hyperx Cloud Alphas are the better headphones since they have an updated driver design. However, if virtual 7.1 surround sound is important to you then go with the Cloud II. The Hyperx Cloud II comes with a USB dongle that gives it support for 7.1 virtual surround, while the Cloud Alphas uses a standard 3.5mm jack for headphone output and mic input.

I'd recommend the Vsonic GR07 Classic. If you're looking for more bass they also have the bass variant and also a detachable cable option, but that version costs about $30 more.

I would pick up a pair of Sennheiser Urbanite XL. They're a few dollars more than the on-ear version and will sound leagues better than very entry level gaming headset. If gaming is your priority and you also need a mic, then grab the original Hyperx Clouds for $80. The Hyperx Cloud II is also available if virtual surround sound is important to you. Otherwise, music and movies would definitely sound better on a pair of Urbanites.

No one has mentioned the Meze Classic 99 for the wood version or the Classics Neo for the cheaper plastic version.

If you're looking for IEMs the 1More Triple Drivers or RHA MA-750 are really good options.

1More Triple Driver is a well regarded earphone on the Head-fi community. It uses one dynamic and two balanced armature drivers.

I personally prefer the Hifiman HE400i over the Sennheiser HD600 or HD650. The Hifimans are mid range focused headphones. So male voices sound really good. If you prefer a little more bass then you can mod them with Brainwavz angled earpads or ZMF Ori pads. Plus, the Hifiman HE400i are on sale on Amazon for $250.
