    I really hope that that is isn't going to turn out to be true. Intel is throwing their very easy naming scheme out of the window at the moment. 
    Pentiums suddenly have hyper threading and render the i3's basically useless. If they now add an i5 with hyper threading then they have fucked their naming scheme completely. 
    This is almost AMD level confusing

    sirtoby got a reaction from DutchTexan in Physical switch to change Windows default audio device   
    This is going to be a bit fiddly, but here's how I'd do it. 
    I already have an Autohotkey script which is doing the same thing that you want to achieve by pressing a combination of keys. I'd run that script in AHK with a very weird key combination and use a Teensy to convert your button press into that keyboard command. Your Arduinos aren't that great a HID and simulating keyboards. There is a library for Keyboard input for Arduinos, but it's only for the Due and the Zero. You can get it to work with your nanos, but you're better off getting a Teensy for 15$.
     
    So to recap: Button is pressed -> Micro-controller converts button press into usable keyboard command and sends it via USB -> Keyboard command triggers AHK script which causes the Audio device to switch
     
    Here is the Script that I use, I half wrote, half copied it a while ago:
     
    ^!Numpad0:: ; Keyboard shortcut toggle:=!toggle ;toggles up and down states. Run, mmsys.cpl WinWait,Sound ; Change "Sound" to the name of the window in your local language if toggle ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down 1} ; This number selects the matching audio device in the list, change it accordingly Else ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down 3} ; This number selects the matching audio device in the list, change it accordingly ControlClick,&Als Standard ; Change "&Als Standard" to the name of the button in your local language ControlClick,OK return EDIT: If you really want to make it work with the Arduino, then there are ways but they are far more complicated than this solution. The reason I'm recommending the Teensy is that it is used by many to build diy mechanical keyboards which is technically what you're doing even though your keyboard only has one button

    I had a quick look at it. This Reddit thread seems to have figured it out. It seems to add another layer above real time traffic for QOS for game traffic. Basically seems to work best in a household where the available internet bandwidth is used all the time and the router is configured badly or doesn't allow you to set QOS options.

    The 4S model (perhaps the 2S aswell?) will have a 2.9L Twin Turbo V6 good for 440HP & 405lb-ft of torque, and should weigh 4123lbs. Good for 4.0s 0-60 with the sport chrono package.
     
    The Turbo S model will sport a 4.0L Twin Turbo V8 good for 550hp & 567 lb-ft of torque, weighing 4400lbs. But Porsche is claiming 3.4s 0-60 sprint.
     
    The only transmission available appears to be the 8-speed PDK.

    G2A, along with places like kinguin, are "Grey Market" Key Resellers.
     
    G2A actually doesn't sell you any keys. They act as a marketplace for anyone to come in and sell keys through their site. Think of it kind of like eBay or Amazon Marketplace.
     
    The problem with G2A is that they have no control, and do little to no curation, over who sells what.
     
    Some of the keys sold are 100% legit.
     
    Other keys are "grey market" keys - which are keys sold in a 3rd world low income region at reduced pricing to combat rampant piracy (Places like Russia, for example). These keys are essentially sold at a loss by the software vendor (eg: Microsoft) to recoup some revenue from otherwise lost sales to piracy. They figure that getting $5 from you is better than $0. The problem with these keys, is that if you're from, eg, The USA, then these keys were never intended for you or your economic region. Even at minimum wage, someone in the US, often makes more in a week or month then the average person in some of these low income regions make in a whole year. Some keys are actually region blocked, so that, for example, a key bought in Russia, cannot be activated in America.
     
    Some other keys are MSDN/Dreamspark/TechNet (Well not so much TechNet anymore) keys that people buy subscription access to (or are given access to for free via work or school) and resell these keys. This is technically illegal, since it's against the terms of service to resell keys. Plus they are given away for specific reasons.
     
    Lastly, some keys are straight up acquired from stolen credit cards.
     
    You, the buyer, have no idea which key you're getting. You might get a perfectly legit key that lasts forever, or you might get a MSDN key that eventually gets flagged, and stops working after 6 months. Or maybe you get a key bought with a stolen credit card, and the key is banned.
     
    G2A shield is basically a guarantee or insurance that you buy, that basically says if you buy a key and it stops working (within a specific time period, I believe), then you either get a refund or a new key. The fact that they're SELLING you "insurance" on your key working, is proof that they know a lot of their market sellers are total bullshit scammers.
     
    The guarantee/insurance should be free, because they should stand by what they're selling. They get around this by not "technically" selling anything, just facilitating sales between third parties.
