Grunty Game

get a asus zenfone 10 looks neat. or the gaming one but it might be heavy idk

Just throwing my 2 cents in Asus Rog phone 7. https://rog.asus.com/us/phones/rog-phone-7/
Has all the features he wants front facing speakers a headphone jack. The jack is why I bought my ROG phone 5 I drive old cars that don't have bluetooth but do have the jack.
Camera might be the sticking point though.

I agree the Sony xperia 1 V is a great looking option for linus

Can we force Linus to daily drive the LG wing.

DOOGEE V MAX, one of the most rugged phones out there. If you cant stop dropping tech, the tech must adopt.

SUP GUYS,
So there's been some interesting discussion in this thread. But I haven't yet looked into everything you guys have proposed yet.
But I've seen a lot of "solutions" that basically just involve BUYING something.
That's just not the Taran way!
I've been poor most of my life, so I'm used to having to come up with innovative ways to do things with little to no money.
What makes the 2nd macro keyboard mod so great is that you can do it with basically any spare keyboard that you already have lying around.
However, I've never been totally satisfied with LuaMacros. It has a lot of problems.
So I've come up with a much BETTER solution that uses INTERCEPTOR, an apparently amazing program that can do all sorts of cool things.
And I've finally made a tutorial that explains the method I've been using for awhile:
It's far more stable, doesn't require a stupid txt file to work, allows more rapid keypresses, AND even works with modifier keys.

For anyone who finds this with the same problem. The Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider only works with the Xbox One and Microsoft Store games. Unfortunately, there appears to be no custom drivers to allow it to function outside of these environments.
So if you've bought this for PC, I hope you like Forza games.

I'm afraid those pictures are fakes.
 
Here's Linus' real Lambo  :
 

we already have multiple threads on this.

Okay guys I have seen a lot of people on here is starting to wanting to buy amps and dacs and let me just explain to you guys why you need one and why you don't need one. This is going to be very basic and generalised.
 
Reasons to get a DAC.
 
1. Noise in your sound
2. Your onboard makes the sound warm or cold sounding
3. Over all low quality sound coming from your onboard
4. Can look nice
5. You want more detail and higher audio quality
 
Reasons to NOT get a DAC.
 
1. No noise.
2. No coloring in your onboard.
3. You already have "transparent" sound. ( kinda the same as Nr. 2)
4. Takes up space.
5. You will need to buy an amp.
 
Reasons to get a amp.
 
1. You can't power your headphones. (your headphones don't get loud enough)
2. Your headphones sound muddy only at that pc (kinda the same as Nr. 1)
3. Can look nice.
4. You want to try tube sound. (they get really hot, so do NOT touch them.)
5. You want better audio quality (though keep in mind that if your source is bad then it won't suddenly sound good with a better amp)
6. Less noise
 
Reasons to NOT get a amp.
 
1. You can power your headphones.
2. Takes up space.
 
Most motherboards on the market to day can power 90%-95% of all the headphones on the market. A DAC and amp will not make your headphones a lot better if you already have "transparent" sound and they are powered properly, they can bring out more detail and overall better audio quality, but I wouldn't recommend getting a DAC and amp if you don't have good headphones, I would rather recommend that you save the money and get better headphones, expecially if you are unhappy by the sound you have in your headphones, because no DAC and amp is suddenly going to do any major change the signature of your headphones.
 
Ohm does not say if your headphones are hard to drive or not.
 
You can have 600 Ohm headphones that are easier to drive than 32 Ohm headphones. It is the sensitivity and efficiency that matters the most.
A very quick exsample of this would be the K612 and the HE 560. The K612 has a ohm rating of 120 Ohm and a sensitivity rating of 101 SPL/V, while the HE 560 has a Ohm rating of 45 Ohm and a efficiency rating of 90 SPL/mW. Using a online calculator we get these results, which shows that the HE 560 will need more power than the K612, despite the K612 having a Ohm rating that is almost three times higher than the HE 560's.
I used this website to calculate the power needed http://www.digizoid.com/headphones-power.html
 
Wnat to know how much power your headphones need and the math behind it? Look here
 
Different explanations (keeping it simple)
 
Before you go buy an amp for some headphones you just orded wait get the headphones and test them with your onboard before you go spend money on a amp.
Before you go buy an DAC amp combo, if you already has transparent sound and you have nothing wrong with your onboard DAC then you will not notice a difference between your onboard and a DAC and if you buy an DAC you will need an amp.
 
Remember sound is not black and white like some people say it is, there are more to sound than just specs.
 
Only look down here if you really need an DAC and amp or just an amp
 
Why get anything else than the cheap products?
What is a DAP? (Digital Audio Player)
 
I have used amazon.de and amazon.com for every product that is not from Schiit where I used their own webshop
 
Before looking at tube amps
A tube amp is best with headphones that have a high impedance because it is there they have their power, while a normal solid state amp normally has the most power in the lower ohms. I highly recommend not getting a tube amp for let's say 35 Ohm headphones, but rather a tube hybrid amp which is a mix of a tube and solid state amp, you get the sound of tubes while still having the power in the lower Ohms and having a lower output impedance.

Where do I buy schiit in EU?

Lastly if you have interference look at this guide SSL has made.
 
If you have suggestions about gear and explanations.
If you have some gear that you would like to see added then there are 4 options.
 
Comment the gear you would like to see added and why or send me a PM, I will then look into it very thoroughly when I have time and if I find it worthy, then it will be added. Often I will get a loaner unit and test it.
 
If you want a explanation to something, then comment what you would like explained or send me a PM and then I will look into it.

Remember there are no stupid questions, I am here to help.
I hope that this post helped you and cleared some things up for you 

Sorry, but if you have a ton of malware and viruses on your computer you should be breaking out the tactical formatting nuke and starting from scratch rather then trying to get rid of everything since a massively infected computer can't be trusted.

You may not want to hear this, but your best bet - if you're actually severely infected - is to backup your data and do a full format/reload of Windows.  Then get a good AV scanner (Eset's online scan tool, for example) and scan everything you backed up before restoring it.

What's your point? People are allowed to ask whatever they like for the items they're trying to sell. If someone buys it, then so be it. This post is pointless. The seller did indeed import that case. So I don't see what your point is there either.
 

Basically how anyone would respond after dropping $140K.

Windows 8.1

Plot twist: OP is actually 980 guy trying to get a free 1080 Ti from LMG

Not if you are trying to sell something  

Linus has a video on it.
 
We should force newbies to watch Tech Quickies before they're allowed to post.

You clearly don't know how efficient I am.

It is impossibru to achieve 100% efficiency

never cross the streams
 

I'd actually say don't just trust the power supply just because it's from a reputable brand because evga and corsair are both very well know brands but have some budget powersupplys that just plain bad. Before buying a psu I would look up the model review by johnnyguru he does a lot of power supplies reviews and tells you what you need to know.
