Not sure how I missed the original Plex VR announcement, so let’s pretend that didn’t [not?] happen now that the feature has been extended to the headset. It also supports any Daydream enabled Android phone as well as specialize VR hardware including Gear VR and Oculus. If you have the necessary kit (sadly I do not), have a play and […]

Having recently upgraded to the Vizio P65-E1, we have been pleased with most aspects of the display – except for one really annoying problem where it would not negotiate a 10/12-bit UHD 4K resolution with any device whenever a longer HDMI cable was used. Vizio has been really helpful trying to run down the problem (even replacing the set), but […]

As a frequent couch keyboard, mouse and laptop user I always put my devices on my lap or a couch cushion. A lap or couch cushion is not the most ergonomic solution but readily available. The nerdytec COUCHMASTER Cycon retails for $149.00. It is an intriguing lap desk concept to solve the ergonomics of marathon computer and gaming sessions. As […]

If you have one of those “challenging” rooms. You know the kind, where doing the “crawl” puts your subwoofer in the most difficult to wire for location. SVS has just announced a solution for this problem: the SoundPath wireless audio adapter. With the ability to send 16-bit/48KHz up to 65′ feet without the need to drag an RCA cable across […]

I’m not a gamer, so I would love it if someone would explain to me why the Atari VCS exists. And while you’re at it, why is it $200? I’ve never actually done it, but AFAIK if you really have a hankering for some low-res nostalgia gaming you could approximate this experience (Linux based game emulator) on a Raspberry Pi […]

I opened the laptop last week to retrieve the HDD. This is what I found. Definitely the battery; it is swollen and burned. The fire did not reach the HDD. I was able to pull it, retrieve data and then encrypt. Dell wants the burned machine back as part of the support case. After a bit of back and forth with […]

It’s a good day when I find something this interesting and detailed. Learned quite a bit. But Wi-Fi marketeers continue to promise “seamless” roaming and frustrated Wi-Fi users continue to believe them, especially when vendors promise their products use special techniques to bend Wi-Fi devices to their will. So since I always say that data should do the talking, I’m […]

I knew it wasn’t going to be cheap, but I had hoped that the USG-XG-8 was going to be a lot cheaper than the $2,499 SRP. Obviously, with 16 cores and 8 SFP+ it is intended for the enterprise market so that price tag is actually pretty reasonable for the hardware. Unfortunately, Ubitquiti doesn’t sell a USG (Unifi Security Gateway) […]

The $99 MA650 impressed me with their comfort and sonic quality when we visited with RHA at CES, so it is great that more aesthetic choice has been added to the product. Now, orange (burnt if possible) is more my thing, but I have to admit that the MA650 wears white well too :). GLASGOW, UK: RHA has released the acclaimed […]

The just announced Yamaha RX-V485, RX-V585, and RX-V685 4K AVR have one really slick feature that most other audio video receivers do not. They can use one, or two, of Yamaha’s MusicCast wireless speakers as the rear surround channels. This isn’t the first product to offer this, but it is the first that I recall that wasn’t a home theater […]
