Whoa - this even works on the level of receiving messages - as any messages coming from “Scam Likely” might still be mistaken as the regular “meet hot singles in your area” solicitations. As long as you’re not getting sent anything specifically identifiable to you.

It’s really going to come down to library. A few “exclusives” are not going to matter compared to access of way more titles being developed due to the boom that’s happening for Oculus right now.

Sooo many people bought Quest 2s that Oculus development for new games is booming. This is because Developers saw upwards of…

Actually, you -can- have conference audio over bluetooth headsets that’s absolutely indistinguishable from wired to all listening parties due one reason.
Call conferencing codecs do a general downsampling in quality all-around to prioritize transmission and reduce latency over audio quality that masks and negates whate…

“Personally, I like vinyl most for the ritual of it”
Same reason why I still like driving a stick-shift, or preparing my own meals -the ritual- as you succinctly put it, enhances the experience for many beyond the ultimate qualitative properties of audio reproduction we’re discussing here.

Most people don’t even take into account the listening situation (outside/in a vehicle with competing ambient noise vs quiet room by yourself) where the audio quality starts being moot.

That is about mic recording quality being compressed for video conferencing transmission which uses different codecs with different priorities and not about high quality listening playback. Absolutely different things there. 

FYI - lots of Android phones already work natively with HEIF/HEVC. My S21Ultra and the S20Ultra I used before that could even record natively to that format to save space.

Got a Phonesoap one like this as a promo giveaway from a vendor, (looks exactly the same and came with the Phonesoap instructions - just the device itself was stamped with the other company’s logo).

That price is agreeable since going with my family to the theater is that times 5 minimum. I’ve always wanted that and am willing to pay that premium to watch new releases on my home projector.
The limited window being on a weeknight when my kids just started school probably won’t fly though.

So for everyone who signs up for this - there’s a robot avatar somewhere IRL they are controlling on a ride-on mower, right?

Are we talking about only “gaming on the bus” mobile or can this mean “bring in my bag and game away from home” mobile?

I like it in that it’s more grippy than my SNPro 30 - but using the phone with a clip always felt awkward since I’ve always had the bigger flagship phones.

Many phones can power other USB-C 15.6" monitors just fine, as I have a few of each - I assumed since it’s very similar to other products it would behave similarly.

You just won’t want to run them very long, because it would eat your phone battery alive. I used to use similar for emergency remote-admin duties, which…

Many people buying these actually don’t need HDMI - they’re used as monitors to make a mobile workstation out of an Android phone that can do a desktop mode - like Samsung DeX.

Combine that with a portable bluetooth keyboard and controller. You could actually ditch the laptop and use this to get a mobile work/play…

Yeah, I was hoping that it was an actual viewable 16" as that would have been -some- positive differentiator. Since it shows as “returnable”, it’s still a decent price for anyone to roll the dice that doesn’t already have one.
