  1. Can we get voltage insulation testing with the screwdriver? Maybe with labs32? This would still be helpful to know for my job. I work with 24VDC mostly but a bit of 120VAC. Most manufacturers only show a rating when it can handle 600V, and I have special set for working on 480VAC, which will kill you, or worse, send you to the hospital (I'm in the US).
  2. Any ruff pricing or timeline on these doggo hoodies? Would make a great gift for my sister
  3. For the storage, you could always get an external enclosures for the SSD (there are some good cases that plug in with a type C). I am considering buying this laptop as well, but I have a couple of questions. I would like to know what the expandability looks like internally in regards to RAM and storage. Is there a second slot for storage internally? Is the RAM all soldered or is there a slot (wasn't sure what the conclusion was). Can the USB C port charge the laptop as well as the other port?
  4. Would a monitor with Free-Sync likely have V-Sync or Fast-Sync as well?

    G-Sync

    I have been looking around for an answer to this question, but to no avail. If I have an Nvidia graphics card, do I need a G-Sync monitor to prevent screen tearing (and not use v-sync) or can I use a free-sync monitor? There aren't many 1440p ultrawides with G-Sync, so I need to know. If screen tearing doesn't happen with an Nvidia GPU and Free-Sync combo, what benefits does G-Sync have?
  6. DACs and amps that pair well with the Sennheiser HD 6xx. Almost 21,000 people purchased these in the last drop (myself included) and need some info on good price-to-performance options.
  7. Someone recommended the Magni 2 Uber edition. $169 and slightly more powerful. How does it compare to the first Magni?
  8. People have paired the Sennheiser HD 650 with the Schiit Fulla 2 and Magni 2 and noticed that the Fulla 2 is not capable of driving the headphones to their full potential, while the Magni 2 can do it much better.
  9. Sennheiser HD 6xx from Massdrop. In terms of audio, they are identical to the 650.
  10. I have looked at some external DACs and amps. The Schiit Fulla 2 is not powerful enough to drive my 300 ohms headphones properly. If I want a Schiit amp, I would have to at least get the Magni 2 Uber edition, which is the same price as the sound card. That is only an amp, so that still doesn't avoid the potential electrical noise issue without getting a seperate DAC as well.
  11. Last month, Creative started selling the Sound BlasterX AE-5, a $150 soundcard. I am looking for an amp to power my 300 ohms headset that I will be getting in December. It seems to have positive reviews, but it is not widely known yet. Soundcards are not as popular as they used to be, but this may be a cool product for Linus to review. What do you guys think? I am not sure how to let him know.
  12. Unfortunately, you just missed the Sennheiser HD 6xx on Massdrop ($199). I picked up a pair right before it closed. They do have other high quality headsets if you need some sooner, but if you are patient and wait a year, they will probably put them up again. They are the most popular item on Massdrop selling almost 21,000 in one drop.
  13. 1. server software You did a video on server vs. desktop hardware, but did not go into much detail on how different the workloads are. 2. Databases
  14. Today I also: - played Assassin's Creed - not sure I ate anything or did anything else...
  15. I like the lazy solution. What about power and restart?
