Picked these up! Quite excited and they're arriving today, happy days.
Hmmm that seems to be for wifi only, my current set up I have all of my gaming, switch, ps4, and xbox on ethernet
I bought one of those in a sale some time ago, it's excellent for the pricepoint.
Happy to hear that, one of the guys I work with told me they're great. Glad I picked em up.
I've had good luck with netgear brand modems/routers. I have a seperate modem and a nighthawk router (I see one for $80 which is insanely cheap compared to what I payed for mine).
I've had bad luck with all integrated modem/router combos since it's a single failure point for 2 different devices you're SOL if even 1 part of it screws up. Which mine did, more than once.
Awesome. Glad that's the case. I've never owned a decent headset for console gaming.
I didn’t like the mic, but the nice thing is I could swap their cable and mic out for my own. I use a Vmoda boompro on mine when I need to chat, and then I use an ultra light braided cable when I don’t need to.
do not buy netgear CM700 or anything with a Intel Puma 6 CPU. The CPU they use is know to cause issues with gaming; its plagued with alot of latency spikes. Check dslreport forums for recommendations with your isp
Sounds dope. Never knew you could even do that so thanks for the heads up!
Xbox One All digital with extra phantom controller is a great deal at $199, sell the extra controller & games, you got a $120 system.
Forgive my ignorance, I'm aware of the strike and I will definitely not purchase anything on Prime day. However, why not use Twitch? I know Twitch Prime is a thing, but I'm not entirely certain to the context/correlation of that one.
Thanks but I do plan on cencelling Prime before my 30 day free trial ends.
you do you, I'm stuck with my prime sub because my parents use it a ton and i get it setup to work at both our addresses.
Hey guys, I've been looking at this LG TV for a while now and hoping to get some insight: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07H2R4Q54/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1
It's the LG UK6090.
My issues are this:
It's the LG UK6090.
My issues are this:
- Is this generally a good TV? From the reviews I've read, it's not amazing, but it appears that most people would rate it above the similar size TCL at 55". I'm a bigger fan of Roku over WebOS, but not so much that it would tilt me in one direction or the other.
- I currently have a 40", non-4K, non-smart TV that I don't know what I would do with if we got a new one. Not tempted to just sell it. Is the size difference huge enough to warrant getting this one?
- What is Amazon Canada's policy about delivering electronics like this? I'm not available tomorrow and originally wanted to have this shipped to a Pickup location, but it looks like that's not possible. Does Amazon expect someone on standby basically the entire time for when the TV "could" come?
PS4 Pro with Spiderman and Horizon in the featured spot for US at 299.99 seems pretty good.
Been eyeing a PS4 Pro for a while but for being a mid-gen upgrade 3 years later and with next gen coming in less than 18 months, I'm surprised how hard it is to find any meaningful deal. I mean, if you know where to look you can find those games for like 30 bucks total so it still leaves the Pro at 270, which is not that cheap all in all.
Wouldn't the better option be to purchase as many things as possible, which would put a spotlight onto the workers since that would cause service failures if they were not working. Not buying items means the workers have less to do and a strike is less effective. Just spit balling here.
Amazon has bought Twitch in 2014 for a billion dollars (970 million).
Using Twitch by either donating, subscribing or just watching streams (and increasing the ad revenue) will earn some cash for Amazon.
Actually, that's not quite right, I've just realised that I'm using the Cloud II. Through browsing around a bit looks like the Cloud Alpha is a slightly better sound but loses the USB soundcard?
Hmmm. Now I need to ponder whether I want an upgrade!
That’s what I’m doing, the more doing it and promoting it the better.
Someone convince me to not buy the Alienware AW3418DW ultra wide gaming 1440p gaming monitor at $720.
I mean, if you already have a perfectly working pair of headphones/headset then is it worth the upgrade?
This seems like a good discount for blue yeti microphone bundle. Unless there's a better mic out these days in which let me know

My girlfriend worked in an Amazon warehouse for a couple of years and she said everything in that video is spot-fucking-on. They don't fucking care about you, and if you aren't making their absurd metrics it's your ass. Normal days were just 10 hours of hell, but Prime Days and the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas were 12 plus hour days.
See above
Any deals of the Sony Gold Wireless headset or comparable headsets? I have the HyperX Cloud II that I bought last year on Prime Day but I sorta want to upgrade because being tethered to the PS4 kinda sucks.

Whatever you do, DON'T get the Sony Golds. They're built like trash.
Visibility is the point of a strike. Workers don’t hold up picket signs and shout slogans to kill time, they do it to get people’s attention on to their issues, which in this case are very real and under appreciated by Amazon and need fixing. Standing in support of that requires similar visibility.
People should be made aware of the strike though. If it makes people ITT feel guilty then too bad
I've seen first-hand how the awful working conditions can affect the health and well-being of a loved one. The more people talking about how awful the workers are treated the better.
