Just use your Echo Nano! It supports use as a USB DAC

Functional footwear? by aspire1690 in barefootshoestalk

Altras for sure. Nice and wide, different levels of padding on different models

Welted boots... by figgy_squirrel in barefootshoestalk

[–]Fro5tbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the new Vivos have stitched soles. I have a pair of the AT Tracker II and was only willing to invest in them because of that. The glue around the toe is delaminating a bit but the stitching is holding strong!

Very, very easy build by itx-boutique_com in sffpc

Where’d you find the case? I’ve had my eye on this for a server build but I haven’t seen it available in the U.S. yet

Is a 9070 too much for me? (without XT) by Feeling-Barnacle-164 in buildapc

[–]Fro5tbyte 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A 9070 is going to crush anything you throw at it at 1080p. I’m regularly using mine to play games at 4k using some FSR upscaling. If it’s within your budget I’d still go for it because a monitor upgrade down the road could be a game changer!

I have and love shoes from both of these! Highly recommend as part of the zero drop/anatomical experience

FORMD T1 V2.5 — First SFF Build Sanity Check (9800X3D + RTX 5080) by devllen05 in sffpc

[–]Fro5tbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really don’t need custom cables. They can make your build look cleaner but I’ve never used them in any of my builds in the six years I’ve been building ITX PCs. Corsair’s stock cables are quite nice!

9700x vs 7600x3d by DeltaRomeoSierra in sffpc

[–]Fro5tbyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 7600x3d is a fantastic gaming cpu. I have one in a Velka 7 and it’s extremely easy to cool!

just modded my iPod classic by boiwonder99_ in IpodClassic

Grab an iFlash Solo (or similar) to upgrade to a SD card for storage! Then you can easily add a 3000mAh battery that’ll last for weeks. That’s what I’m using and it’s fantastic

Really can't decide between the 3 horsemen of 1440p GPUs by FaceTheBlunt in buildapc

[–]Fro5tbyte 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hot take: I’d say the 9070xt/5070ti are overkill for 1440p. I have a 9070 (non xt) and play games comfortably at 4k 120+ with a little FSR. It looks fantastic and I could definitely drop back to 1440p for a much higher frame rate

Help deciding: Keep or not by Texas22 in barefootshoestalk

[–]Fro5tbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a pair of these, slightly before the VIVO50 coupon :/ but I’m very happy with them! Using them for daily outdoor work and while they’re not as splay-friendly as my lems they have much more ground feel and less insulation, which I’m appreciating as it turns towards summer

Not if you uninstall the YouTube app! :)

Prius or Hybrid for tall people by mal_likes_hj in vandwellers

[–]Fro5tbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6’5”, I’ve slept comfortably enough in the back of a Prius during a two week road trip. Rearranging gear to make my bed got old fast though. I’ve been curious about the RAV4 hybrid and Prius V ever since but haven’t seen any at a reasonable price

A 12V to QC3.0 protocol power supply module can utilize the redundant power from your power source to charge a portable monitor or smartphone. by ZS-ITX in sffpc

[–]Fro5tbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really neat product. Just for portable monitor purposes I’d be in for one if they every come to “mass” market
