My wife is after some good quality over ear noise cancelling headphones, but has a rather small head. This causes the ear cups to sit too low and rest on the tops of her ears. For reference my Sony XM2's (with a slightly padded headband because I have a similar problem), are several cm to big when held at a sensible place over her ears. Her recent purchase of Anker Q20i's are not as bad, but still too big (also atrocious sound quality so are going back) Most kids headphones seem either poor quality, no anc, or max volume limited. In the UK, so ideally available without needing to ship in from elsewhere. Any suggestions are appreciated

Is this likely to change in the future? I find Spotify the most convenient for listening, and while I don't always look at the video, it is handy because sometimes they will be talking about something you need to actually see to understand the conversation.

I don't know how easily a ratchet mechanism could be made small enough for this, but I doubt it would be that durable. Never seen a ratchet device that small. What would be you're use case for it?

Excellent news!

It's been a while since I've flown Ryanair. I've seen people flout the rules with Easyjet and no one has stopped them. Since they are in a rush to board they don't check underset bags unless someone has an obvious case or really large bag. Depends if you can afford to risk what ever fee they might decide to charge for a carry on if they call you out on it. The on the day prices are normally double the pre-booking prices...

Got the WAN sweatpants in medium/short and asked if I could exchange for medium/medium. Was ready to ship them back, but LTT store have really good customer service. Will happily buy clothes from them again.

I ordered one. Just got it installed and running. FreeSync working great! Thanks

I have a Samsung G9 (specifically this model - https://www.samsung.com/uk/business/monitors/gaming/odyssey-g9-lc49g95tssrxxu/) which claims to support FreeSync Premium Pro, but not FreeSync Premium or FreeSync. I am considering getting a 7900XT (https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/21323-01-20g-radeon-rx-7900-xt-20g-gddr6#Specification) which has support for FreeSync, but doesn't appear to mention which version. Will the 7900XT FreeSync implementation be able to work with my monitor?

I was looking at my disks in CrystalDisk Info, and my Corsair MP600 PRO 2TB is showing as 61% I got it at the end of April 2021 and it is my OS drive in Windows 10, along with storing personal files. A few games were on there, but I have since got a dedicated SSD for games. I have a pretty comprehensive backup system so I am not worried about data loss. Just curios why it's lost 39% if it's "health" when it's only done ~20TB write (Corsair quote 1400TB writes as its life span so I'm at 1.4%). Is this anything to worry about? How does SMART report this value given it's got all it's spare NAND cells and is no where near it's total writes?

It would actually really piss me off. The reason I didn't order in wave 1 was because I was waiting to be able to get it shipped with other items. Linus has also talked about being green before on the WAN show. Not very green to be shipping it separately forever.

That's annoying. Might try reaching out to Nick on Twitter or a mech message to get that confirmed. Would be surprised if sticking the BP box in a bigger box along with other items wasn't cheaper overall.

There is nothing on the product page about waves now. Adding it to my basket shipping is shown as $50 (expected to the UK). If I add some screw driver bits (presumable small enough to be thrown in), it jumps by $15, which is the cost to ship the bit on their own. Does this mean the backpack is still shipping separately to the rest of an order. If so, is there info yet on when it might start shipping with everything else in an order?

LTT should get into the highly lucrative mattress market with the Motherboard Mattress (just make sure you get the right socket and chip set so it's compatible with your CPU pillow)

Update: Apparently they have doubled the number of support staff.

LTTStore like to pride themselves on good customer service, but they have had a message about delayed responses since the backpack launched. "DUE TO AN EXTREMELY HIGH VOLUME OF REQUESTS, REPLIES FROM OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM MAY BE DELAYED. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE" Considering they had two massive launches at nearly the same time, delays (that's lets face it, weren't that unexpected given global shipping atm), and now in the run up to Christmas; at what point do they need to hire extra support staff or just admit that their customer service isn't that good? Also, they probably wouldn't have such a high volume of customer service questions if they just kept the website up to date with the latest expected dates, rather than having to piece it together from forums and tweets. At the moment it feels like the only way to get information on expected shipping dates etc is watching the WAN show or hoping Nick sees your Tweet. It's a shame really, I was excited about a lot of stuff they had planned but given how the launches of backpack and screwdriver have gone I won't be able to trust buying anything at launch again.
