Does anybody else when you get those random weed dealers send follow requests immediately think "Evening Officer" and decline? 😂

These audio companies linking up with Bose to put 'Bose Sound' on their headphone boxes are hilarious, Bose are C tier in terms of audio quality at best, they're great at ANC, shit at tuning drivers. #headfi

Microshit are a terrible company, I know this, I'm also not new to Linux and have used multiple distros previously, yet for some fecking reason I cannot bring myself to ditch Windows on my primary machine and I cannot for the life of me tell you precisely why that is... Anybody else? #pcgaming

Why tf do Twitch make it so difficult to see the actual date a past broadcast is from? Am I missing something obvious?

Does anybody in the #audiophile space know what happened to YT user Metal571? I used to really like his videos/streams.

Old podcasts. Does anybody know if archival sites save copies of old no longer available podcasts? I've been listening since the early 00s and there is some stuff I would love to listen back to where the host has since passed away or moved on to pastures new. #podcasting #archival

📻 To celebrate College Radio Day, tune in to more than a century of college radio history. In 1906, Harvard students formed what was described as the first college radio club. By the 1920s, students were building stations and broadcasting campus events. 📚 More: blog.archive.org/2026/10/02/1... 🧵

Been playing around with both Amazon Music Unlimited and Qobuz as I got fresh trials on both. I have to say Qobuz is sounding mighty fine teamed up with the B&W PX7 S3 and a new EQ app I found called Echo Equaliser. #audiophile #portableaudio

Head-fi is brilliant man, what you can achieve on a reasonably modest budget compared to a speaker based setup is wild.

Does anybody else have a weird/niche game controller they would like? I'd love a pool/snooker cue controller purely for pool games. Absolutely pointless and super niche but I would be very interested at the right price. #videogames #gaminghardware

Are lessons prepped and planned by teachers checked for AI use in the same way students work is screened? #llm #education #questions

This rumoured #Pokémon MMO better not be Switch exclusive, Game Freak should definitely do more for PC, but I can see Nintendo insisting it's exclusive, I reckon they'll use it as a game to launch a revised console alongside. #videogames

Who remembers RM Nimbus computers? Or the RM F and C series'? It's crazy how people born in different years but not very close apart have such a wildly different memory of their early interactions with technology.

I'd love one of these if budget allowed 😍

"Going from a basic sim flight stick to an all-out metallic behemoth is a mind-boggling experience, but the Warthog is still fun as hell." Thrustmaster has upgraded its long-standing HOTAS to the WARTHOG MK II, keeping the U.S. Air Force licensing, chunky switches, and a realistic design. Review:

windowscentral.comI tested the new Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG MKII, an imposing metallic flight stick for hardcore milsim fansRefined in an all-metal shell, this A-10C Thunderbolt II HOTAS replica is heavy, lifelike, and utterly satisfying.

Is anybody else *really* into using EQ apps to get that little bit more performance from headphones? #audiophile #headfi #headphones
