    blitzduck got a reaction from Mr. Rabbit in Madison reveals experiences working at LMG   
    No no, it's obviously okay if there are 50ish or less employees. Obviously!

    blitzduck got a reaction from bandainamcofan in Gamers Nexus alleges LMG has insufficient ethics and integrity   
    Steve's video drives home the fact the LMG staff need more time to put together the quality of videos people have come to expect. Basically all of the things called out here could've been avoided with more attention to detail, which simply cannot be given for every video with their current release schedules across all their channels.

    The Scarlett 2i2 has independant volume knobs, as does the MOTU M2, the SSL 2, and a lot of other interfaces that stink less than the Steinberg. 
     
    Alternatively, you get a switch box and a dedicated headphone amp. If you're worried about the oxidation of switch contacts (which does happen), you can buy a can of contact cleaner. If you're really worried about it, building something like this is about as easy as it gets, and then you can buy a $30 Grayhill rotary switch for it.

    blitzduck got a reaction from Mark Kaine in What if Apple had a better lineup...?   
    Apple's whole shtick is to have as few different products as possible:
    It's easier to funnel customers' purchases It's less of a hassle to manage all their products It endows its products with a higher trust in their brand identity (i.e, if Apple bothered to make it, it "has to be good") Apple's products (generally) don't compete against themselves

    Faxes still being a thing in 2021.
     
    4-5 unskippable logos when you start a game. e.g. nVIDIA, Intel, Unreal, etc.

    Sorry for bumping, but I don't think I saw an actual answer -- anyone know when will this case be available in Canada? I've had no luck finding it online.

    blitzduck reacted to TetraSky in Is amazon a good place to buy PC parts?   
    Yes and no. Depends on your location.
    Amazon has some of the cheapest prices on PC parts and quite often, free shipping too.
     
    But taxes can ruin a deal, quick.
    For us in Quebec, we get taxed the whole 15% on amazon on nearly everything.
    As such, buying off Newegg which has a higher base price and expensive shipping... Turned to be cheaper because they also only charge 5% taxes (physical presence in the country, but not in the province, hence only 5%).
     
    What I'd suggest is checking multiple stores and see the final price, shipping and taxes included, before pulling the trigger on where you buy your parts.
     
    Also for Amazon, look into a browser extension called "Keepa". It will let you know if the "deal" is really such a good deal, with the product's price history. Quite often, it isn't.

    Amazon CAN be a good place to buy parts, but it's always best to check out multiple sites to see if you can get better prices. When I built my PC I used https://pcpartpicker.com which gave me multiple options for each part I was looking at. By the end I bought all my components from multiple different websites (Memory Express, Canada Computers, Amazon, Vuugo, and maybe another I'm forgetting). Ended up working from home for 2 days though so that I was at home while everything was on its way to me. Just something to consider -- it will definitely be easier (for the most part) if you buy everything from one vendor so that it (hopefully) arrives in one delivery. But that doesn't mean that one vendor will have the best prices for each item.
