I'll still test them side by side on Monday and see how they sound, just to have that reassurance, but I've no honest doubts that I'm about to be blown away by the sheer immersive quality these are known to produce. The stereo imaging of these is insane for the price. I was once watching a movie an...
The best site for finding headphones ranked by soundstage is rtings.com, AFAIK. I have the Samson SR850 which have an excellent soundstage for the price. The SR950 is a bit pricier but even better in this respect as it is closed back. And if money is not an issue, check this: https://www.amazon.com...
Hi all, I would like to know how I can find headphones ranked by "sound stage". As in, how immersive the experience is, how spread out the sounds are instead of being grouped in the middle of my head so to speak. I have a decent budget pair of TaoTronics with somewhat ok noise canceling, b...
Honestly my thought process when I see people able to buy new PC gear all the time: how are their wives allowing this to go on? A pinball machine would certainly push my downstairs neighbors over the edge. My 2 kids run around and scream plenty without me adding extra noise. No, I'm not jealous of y...
I just bought a Lenovo Miix 310 for 110 euros with 4GB RAM and 64GB eMMC. It's quite an army more powerful than the Netbook I had for the past 8 years, and it's completely silent (quite nice when trying not to wake anyone at night). It's ultimately up to what you're used to, and the compromises you'...
Wow, based on the screenshots I've seen of that game, it looks like the graphical requirements are due to poor game optimization rather than actual high GPU demand, or that the developers mis-use the phrase "minimum requirements" like I've seen so many do on Steam. The 7850 runs Sim City 5...
Sandy Bridge was the last meaningful processor improvement unless you like obscure improvements or micro optimizations. I would even go so far as to recommend buying SB from warehouse clearances if you want to save money.
I can't play RTS games because of this, and I can't play many of the characters on League of Legends because of it. I just try to use my brain to outsmart the other team when I play LoL.
Thank you, this tells me that I should not bother keeping any aspect of my current Dell Precision machine when it's time to upgrade - just upgrade everything at once.
Tomb Raider was *awesome* but I kind of consumed the whole thing in about 2 days. From Friday night to Sunday afternoon I went through the whole story and finished with a 74% completion rate. Wickedly fun, the puzzles were clever enough that the answer wasn't always obvious, and the "survival ...
Great, this will help deter some customers from falling into data ransom traps from scumbags like Iogi and MyFreeTechHelp, who have a lot of employees that use LogMeIn to gain control over the computer for malicious reasons. A lot of people are stupid and fall for this.
I recently downloaded an Android app called WIN Remote that allows me to use my phone as an input device for my computer. Not exactly what you're looking for, but still a lot of fun
I also suffer from migraines after prolonged computer usage but it has to do with lighting, as others have mentioned. The lighting from sunlight mixed with florescent lighting mixed with trying to focus on a computer monitor with yet a third spectrum of lighting. At one call center I dealt with all ...
I'm happy enough with my dual Xeon 5160's, the main thing I'd want in my machine is an SSD at this point. All the games I play I can handle just fine with my 2006 rig. It really depends on what you're doing with the machine and how much you care about playing games with a hair more detail VS having ...
I find it extremely comfortable to use: http://oi39.tinypic.com/313iuza.jpg For the lulz, I included my first smartphone, which was the Sony Xperia Ray: http://oi39.tinypic.com/mip0fo.jpg The way I hold each phone I'd compare to mice grip positions: palm grip for the Nexus 5 and a claw grip for the ...
A couple days ago I pulled the trigger on the Nexus 5. After buying my wife an iPhone 5c the day before, I decided to wait until the next day when t mobile would have the Nexus 5 in stock. I'm glad I waited. If your reaction to 1080p on a 5" touchscreen was as conflicted as mine, you'd want to ...
The irony is that they are comparing DDR4 to the first stage of DDR3 without all the massive improvements that it has made over the past few years. DDR3 2133 at 1.2v is not far outside the imagination.
When you want to view whose original post someone replied to, instead of showing you that post it just reloads the exact same page. Using the latest version of Chrome on both my desktop on Windows 8.1, my netbook on Windows 7 starter, and my OS X 10.9 machine at work.
I wonder what kind of noise levels it has. We intend to get a PS4 because it's the one piece of tech that my wife agrees that we should have and I'm taking advantage of that.
I'll try unplugging my Razer DeathAdder tonight and see if I get the same results. Edit: this ties into something weird that's been happening lately if I force the computer to sleep - the computer goes into a furious cycle of booting up and making weird noises. I haven't encountered it myself but my...
Of my searches online, I've found out that ports exist and that they organize specific types of packets being sent over a network. What I can't find, and what I don't understand, is why ports exist in the first place and what the benefits of port-mapping are. I don't know why someone would want to t...
