Oh yeah, if you go with aftermarket cables you better make sure it matches the psu brand AND model. Thankfully i think seasonics new line has nice black braided cables out of the box

Well it’s like this today, the seller’s tech support which the video card that I got as a gift from my family that I have been chatting recently, left me a message in regards to my video card replacement and said this. “Hi, is this case closed?”…what the fuck do you think?! you have given me 2 weeks to wait for my card and so I wait (also the fact that is not even 2 weeks, for it is still technically 1 week and a half, makes this kind of funny.) and then out of the blue you are going to tell me that this case of mine is closed? Come on man, I am sure it is obvious that the case that I have is not yet closed.
After that message, I said this to him/her, “Not yet, I still don’t have a replacement RTX 3080 Ultra OC card on my hands.” I am sure they get the message and did tell me that they are going to message me if there’s now a stock of that card that I have as a replacement.

Antsy CS. Some get rated or paid on closing or finishing cases. Still not considerate.

They got the message, for they did say to me that they are going to message me or contact once there is a stock of that specific GPU that I got and it will be exactly 2 weeks passed now once tomorrow comes. I am not expecting it to have a stock by tomorrow since these cards to begin with are a pain in the ass to get, especially with this year still going shit for most everyone.
I traded my old he400i to a friend because he needed them more than me lol, I got audio technicas m50x bluetooth. I needed some monitors so nice trade I tought. These fucking suck, the regular m50x was ok to me, but these are much worse and every reviewer ever did its best to ignore their shortcomings.
What the fuck audio technica? they took away like 3db of bass from the original m50x and now these sound dead, it affects the lower mids also. The bass before was a little too much but now it sounds wrong.
These have a noisy battery that makes very loud hiss and cracking noises while using them bt, the hiss goes away when idle for a few seconds which makes it a lot more noticeable when it comes back, my unit is not bad, this is how its supposed to be.
“well at least I can use them for monitoring” NO. there’s hiss when using them cabled too, its barely audible BUT this time its only on the left driver where the battery is which triggers me.
For what these cost they are a steal but at gunpoint towards the customer, It blows my mind are still overhyped I give them 2 stars only because the beats exist and those are 1 star.
Wait, iirc the M50xBT should have the same frequency response as the M50x, right? Damn, your experience really sucks, condolences. Makes me wonder if an M50x with a FiiO BTA10 would sound better. Or honestly, BTR3k/5.
For me subjectively the m50x sounds better than the m50xbt regardless of the source, there are slight but important differences in the response. And the m40x probably sounds better than both, even my much cheaper ath-ar3bt has a more appealing sound signature to me, with no audible hiss and better bluetooth, while still being rather mediocre.
If you want bt on m50x fiio is the way to go.

My Cat!! This is why I can’t have nice things… Always eating my cables, knocking anything and everything off tables, and not giving a crap.
I need cat proof cables.

very easy to do. go buy a bottle of nail chewing deterrent. that’ll fix the issue!
edit - actually, you might be able to use vinegar. cats HATE vinegar…and it’s cheaper to boot. buuut, it will make your area smell until it’s dried out.

My cat yells at me when he wants things. meows for treats, cries to go outside and bites me on my thighs to get my attention so that I follow him to do his bidding. A butlers life for me.

The Jupiter/Saturn conjunction gave me enough motivation to dig out one of my telescopes and its accessories for the first time in over two years. Even remembered to put it in my car trunk about 90 minutes ahead of time to start cooling down. Got out sufficient clothing layers to sit outside for an hour or so. All ready to go and it goes from totally clear…which tonight’s forecast was as of this morning…to overcast with the forecast now showing it not to break for 36 hours.

These watermarks or lines in an email or photo tell me you sold out and are willing to present yourself as a billboard. Consider your Email ignored if you care that little about me!

Sold out? You have a higher opinion of people than I do. I just assume you are either tech illiterate or give so little of a shit I don’t trust your work. Unless they are 60+, I assume the former. No way I’m going to trust a craftsman or engineer that doesnt look at the details of professional correspondence.
As for my rant, honestly, I’m just tired as fuck. Studying for a professional exam and the only quiet time in my damn house is before 6am and I can’t exactly go to coffee shops right now, so my routine has become alarm set to 3:50 to be out of bed by 4. 15 min workout to get my blood flowing, make a coffee, and study for an hour and a half until people start blasting fucking TVs by 6:30 at the latest. Go to work, study on breaks and at lunch, get home, cook dinner, and pass out by 8pm so I can actualy get 8 hours of sleep. The problem is, IT HASNT BEEN FUCKING QUIET AT 4 AM 3 DAYS IN A GOD DAMNED ROW AND EVEN WHEN I ASK FOR A BIT OF QUIET I CAN STILL HEAR THE TV OVER THE MUSIC IN MY GOD DAMNED HEADPHONES

I do it the other way round. I go to bed at 4. About 4 hours of quiet to get stuff done at night (house goes to sleep at 12-ish).
