From what I’m reading, it’s Sony cutting ties with a s* company.
In the open letter they also ask to contact Sony to get refunds, which is not at all how it works. And GamingHeads should be the one giving refunds. They then manage with Sony.
From comments I can read on the website and reddit, it seems that statues were taking a very long time to ship (5 years).
Tho destroying ready to ship products isn’t great either.
The bad news is that Android is still likely affected. Similar to Apple’s ImageIO, Android has a facility called the BitmapFactory that handles image decoding, and of course libwebp is supported. As of today, Android hasn’t released a security bulletin that includes a fix for CVE-2023-4863 – although the fix has been merged into AOSP. To put this in context: if this bug does affect Android, then it could potentially be turned into a remote exploit for apps like Signal and WhatsApp. I’d expect it to be fixed in the October bulletin.
So a no-click device hack?
You are missing Eternity. Tho I haven’t managed to connect on the play store version so idk.
Do you have lots of cash to support the copyright and maintenance fees? The Web archive (I think, or another similar website) got sued for having knowledge and book contents on their website. You can’t just publish hacked books.
Most likely you would need a way to generate money for a “business”.
There would be some ways like advertising (can be OK, but not always the best, it depends on how many adds, how scummy ads, and how much tracking/data selling).
Donations? = pretty much no expected revenue. The amount of revenue you can get is very low.
Paid features, but what features could be paid while keeping free access?
Business proposal : destroy my money
Because it doesn’t show the conspiracy theory enhancing the authors conspiracy anti-covid/anti-moon landing opinion :
meaning you will never find the truth about the moon landing or COVID vaccines there even if the query asks for exactly that. What you will find - though - is a bunch of irrelevant “fact check” or “science loving” sites, or ones shitting on “conspiracy theorists”.
Yeah it’s pretty easy to understand that the 84 is the professional reviews. I guess there aren’t just 64 people who put a comment, but 6190 who put a comment (from the image in the post).
The more professional reviews come out the more the score has a chance to go down compared to the first reviews if they were very high. And give some sort of average.
However profesional review scores don’t always align to what most users think, as people like different things, but also the users get very much bothered by a bad start. While the reviewers will give a score on the entire game.
Well some part of the bad reviews are the stupid battle between xbox and ps users going to leave bad reviews because it’s an exclusive…
And there are the genuine people leaving good and bad reviews.
But I can see such a score. The game isn’t that great from all the reviews I saw. And it seems to “become good” after 10 hours of play time…
If that is what it takes for a game to become good, it’s not that great.
It works mostly for the technical side.
For the sound, preferences and personal comfort, it’s a bit hard to get precise. The graphs can help a bit, but it’s also hard to understand them, even more when they don’t look the same between reviewers.
This reviews https://youtu.be/j-xLIQLMWV4?si=bbG1AeMEMCNq61GD says it’s pretty easy to drive them with anything.
Not sure about amps, and they are expensive headphones, so not that interested in more reviews.
That is not true at all.
Epos “still” has great mics on the h6 pro.
Corsair has very good mics on the premium headset (virtuoso), and the wired hs80.
Razer also has a very good mic on the blackshark v2 pro 2023 (not the old one).
Hyperx has a very good mic on their wired cloud 3.
Drop x Sennheiser has a good mic on the pc38x.
Beyerdynamic has a very good mic on their mx300 gen2
Audio Technica has be best ever mic on a headset currently on the m50xsts (or other with the same mic, not sure if they have other similar ones).
And all of these mic sound better than what modmic has currently not discontinued.
Sure with the budget, space, and maybe even enough noise isolation or when you can get open headphones…
But how much would a good enough studio headphone cost? Because from what I understand from studio headphones it’s perfectly calibrated headphones?
Now image your someone without the proper budget to get 1k$ headphones, and no space for open sound. what would you buy?
Maybe beyerdynamic? But for me the clamp force is too high.
Akg? They are cheap, but damn it was impossible for me to wear the akg371 as they were too shallow and had no protection for the driver plastic, and the way they were build made sure I had holes for the sound to get out…
Sadly audio is very subjective, on comfort, space, and sound.
I’ve also seen meze get nice reviews, with it’s new 109 pro, or more expensive ones.
The 99 seem great too from reviews, but very bassy/bass forward.
Because “gaming” headphones often aren’t “just” headphones. They are headsets with a built-in boom mic
And a boom-mic is often way better than a crap wire mic or bluetooth headphone non boom mic.
There are still the trash ones, but there are also very good ones.
And a built-in mic is extremely useful on multiple situations : console gaming, tight space gaming (no place for a mic), or when there is only a single port on a device (tho a splitter, or hub could be used for a jack port or usb). There is also the convenience of just having a mic.
The issue now with all these headsets being “gaming”, is because of the marketing.
Some headphones brands have put mics on theirs, to make them headsets :
Beyerdynamic with the mx300 : the tight clamp makes it a bit of a no go for me. The mic is as just between ok and great. The voice is full, but there is a lot of noise in there from the reviews I saw.
Audio technica : they have multiple of them. Latest one the ath-m50xsts. It looks like a circum aural headset, but is not. It’s a on ear headset with ear isolation like a circum aural. Which is pretty bad for me. Tho the mic is the best I’ve ever heard on a headset.
They are both wired only.
And other brands not marketing as “gaming” headsets are either extremely expensive with strange mics, or have most of their production budget into audio and they pair the headphone with a trash mic to make it a headset.
In gaming headset brands, there are multiple ones providing software, mic, and wireless features enhancing the experience of the user. For example low latency high bandwidth wireless (proprietary, wifi-like 2.4ghz) connexions only exist in gaming branded headphones/sets. (high bandwidth = higher than bluetooth for the same latency).
Not really hating on it. It seems to be pretty good for the quality and price.
However it is presented by reviewers as having a very tight clamp, which is a huge pain me, wearing glasses…
It’s also open back wich obviously (I hope), isn’t adapted to everyone.
One way would be to use small mics, like a lavalier mic.
Tho they are omnidirectional, and without noise cancellation. They also aren’t as good quality as a big mic.
Another way would be to use something like the modmic from Antlion. They have different models, but all seem worse quality for the sound than the modmic 5 they discontinued.
There was a bug where save files were not saved anywhere, even on the pc, after too many choices. It got patched, but steam sync seemed to be the issue.
Like it is useful… Open ai already got all the useful info out of the websites.
Tho maybe for the sites generating new content it may have a use. But all the content before that is already lost to chatgpt.
I find what they are offering interesting. But I myself use Thunderbird on my pc, spark on my phone, to get the emails from Gmail and yahoo mail.
Skiff isn’t compatible with imap, and from what they are saying, is because it’s an encrypted service, and using imap would require to unencrypt them.
