Anyone have a wireless headset* that they’d recommend? My old Logitech one is dying in the left ear, is wired, and gives me a headache after a couple of hours because of how strongly it grips. I’d like one that goes on only one ear so I can reverse it throughout the day. *business style rather than gamer style, I mean.

I'm looking for a USB-C to USB-C cable that's around 1.5m ~ 2m long and the ones that I purchased online are way too stiff for my liking. I'm looking for something that's a little bit "looser" and doesn't put so much pressure on my charging port when I pick up my phone or tablet. Where can I find one like this? Preferably on Amazon.

Apple’s USB‐C cables are extremely supple at the cost of some durability. You’ve likely used enough Apple cables to know if that’s a problem for you.

Oh boy that’s like $200CAD. Does it do proper mic loopback so you can hear yourself without yelling? That’s the only thing keeping me away from those big over-ear models.

Yes, I have a pair of the steelseries Arctis 7 and they can easily be configured to hear your own mic at three different volume levels. Really great headphones, I bought a used pair from eBay and have been very happy.

Since we're talking about headphones, what's the consensus on good chat headsets? The open one-ear ones. Mostly for comfort and mic quality.

May be the wrong place due to the demographics on SA, but what's the deal with the rise of phone typing? I'm early-mid 30s and suck at it. It takes a while, is a pain, involves lots of correction etc. I send texts, email etc on computer to max extent. I get the impression a lot of younger people don't use non-tablet/phone comps outside work, and/or actively prefer phone typing. Is it a skill you need to learn early? What am I missing? My ineptness isn't for lack of trying. Same kind of goes for laptop touchpads and game controllers vice mice.

Most youths just happen to spend all their time on their phone when we used to spend all our time on desktops and then later laptops.

I'd say it's also what you're used to, I don't live phone typing in part because I'm comparing it to using a keyboard, I could definitely see the reverse being true though, your preference as a function of what's normal.

Stupid ebay question: I don't quite understand this: there's no refund showing up on my paypal account, so did ebay give the buyer their money back themselves, or is going to come out of my account and hasn't been processed yet? E: quote:A case has been opened because the buyer has an issue with an item purchased from you. We reviewed the case and have decided to issue the buyer a refund of £xx.xx without any impact to you.

Years ago someone made a thread about a kind of forums Risk game. Like the map of the world was broken up into territories and each poster could claim a territory. Then every day you could do various things like attack other territories, upgrade technology, etc. Posters could make alliances and stab each other in the back, etc. Does anyone know what I’m talking about or what it was called? Does it still exist?

Is there a Firefox plugin that will set it up so that certain websites are never brought up in search results? I do a lot of sound editing for podcasts and some local community theater stuff and Google is the simplest and most of the time quickest way of retrieving these sounds, but certain sound effect websites and youtube channels are worthless but seem to have hit that Google tipping point where they take up half of the search results. Also, Pinterest. I've never needed Pinterest and I don't know why Google thinks the answer to every search query is to look at someone's collection of pictures of said query. Edit to add: I know I can use search parameters and access various settings, but that's all on a per-search basis and kind of a hassle. credburn fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Apr 17, 2020 |

I use an extension called Unpinterested, but for Chrome. Looking around it seems like Firefox had it, but then rejected it and the author has had to resubmit a few times to get it re-approved.

tuyop posted:This is actually the question that started it all! I just ordered one of those MPOW thingies so I’ll let you all know. So I've got an MPOW TH1 now. My job is teaching adults how to use computers good (and do other stuff good sometimes) and I tutor kids online in the evenings. This means that right now I spend from 6-8 hours a day talking into a headset. I have a wired logitech H390 that I bought for online tutoring years ago. Worked great for awhile and for those 1-3 hour bursts it was tolerable. I also used it as a headset for my students who needed text-to-speech software since it isolated noise pretty well (and for games club  ). I'd say it probably lasted a few hundred hours before the left speaker stopped playing sound intermittently. Beyond the 1 hour mark or so it also hurts the poo poo out of my ears. It clamps quite hard and has an on-ear design. Just kind of sucks after awhile and these days I've been swapping earpods and that headset out every hour or two but at the end of the day I feel like I've been punched in the ears.So this is my first day with the MPOW TH1. I wanted to try a one-sided headset so I could swap between ears if one got hot or tired. So far it's quite comfortable if a tiny bit too big for me (I have a small head). The headset can't weigh much more than 150 grams so my ear hasn't gotten sore yet. My students sound fine through the speaker and they say they can hear me clearly (and I sounded just fine in my test recordings). The bluetooth also works very consistently. Quick pairing and when I turn on the headset my MBP picks it up in like 5 seconds. I tested the noise canceling last night and today and I was very impressed. My keyboard clicks don't get picked up by the mic, a TV show playing at the same time at normal volume doesn't get picked up. The vacuum also doesn't get picked up. If I take a big drink of water and swallow loudly it blocks that too. It's loving black magic and I love it, I've never encountered noise cancelling that's so effective and I can only imagine that MPOW has done some crazy industrial espionage to steal the world's greatest AEC and ANC algorithms. Overall I'm very happy with this $51CAD thing. It even has an external battery base thing that extends the talk time to 200 hours before you have to plug into a wall, which seems a bit silly to me but whatever.

Okay, so I realize this is a stupid silly/stupid question (hence why I'm posting it i this thread) but I'm kinda new to the whole having a playstation experience and I'm curious. Every so often I get a random (spam) message from whomever, and I've just been deleting them without a second thought like I do whenever someone I've played against messages me. I've got my friendlist filled with friends and I rarely care about randoms. But sometimes they're just... weird. They're wannabe philosophical/religious bullshit all written íñ wéïrd scrïpt líké thís with messages like "Honest criticism isn't aimed at the poet, but at the poem" or some religious phrase or whatever. What the gently caress is up with that? Is it just some cook trying to bypass spam filters trying to get his weirdo message out there? Is it phishing attempt? Like... I don't get it. I don't see the goal, the upside, to whomever is sending those out to random accounts.

I am looking for a copypasta that was around SA a while ago and probably other places too. It had to do with libertarianism. Basically it was a multi-paragraph description of a person getting up, eating breakfast, going to work, then coming home and posting on the internet about how terrible government regulations are. So it would say something like "I drink milk with my breakfast, because the FDA verifies that it won't poison me" and such but for water supplies, electricity, roads, etc. It pointed at the absurdity of protesting the existence of regulations while failing to realize how much you benefit from them.
