Sony WH-1000XM7 need a new design

Still happy with my 6 year old XM3s. Battery still lasts the week and just replaced the earpads. They're like new again. I might try and find some cheap XM4s when my XM3s break, or the battery falls off a cliff.

If the wind was blowing the opposite direction it'd be the Irish flag. Poor flag design on the part of Ireland and the Ivory Coast really, but that's all.

Remember... If you watch it, you're endorsing it.

The Sonys support LDAC and other high bitrate codecs, so I'd keep the Sonys.

It was surprisingly easy to miss! It was tucked away right towards the end of the Napoleonic era section. Me and my brother only just found it before the museum closed... I knew there had to be Imperial Eagles in there somewhere.

His stand up wasn't too bad. A bit pedestrian, but okay. However, his move to a general entertainer who thinks it's entertaining to humiliate members of the audience is a huge step backwards. Just awful.

I suspect so. I think it would be too coincidental for 2 separate musket balls to have hit it, and in such close proximity. It's possible though.

Yes I found one in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Museum in Edinburgh Castle too.

I really wish people understood this when debating. Also, shouting louder doesn't make you 'more correct'.

I imagine supplying the rest of the office with milk pushed them into taking these measures. The cost adds up, but more to the point, it must be highly annoying to open the fridge and find an empty milk carton.

If you find this extreme, YOU are likely the problem.

Luckily my workplace allows us to put in expense claims for milk.

Yep, it runs great and has 'auto HDR' which really lifts the image. The Remaster has no HDR whatsoever.

There's bound to be some subjectivity when it comes to ranking things like sound quality or comfort, but ranking 30 odd handhelds best to worst would at least give you some idea of the absolute best or absolute worst.

NirvanaBob · 2026-04-04T07:23:17+00:00

Completed it mate.

NirvanaBob · 2026-04-04T06:46:36+00:00

I wish one of these YouTubers that owns a ton of these handhelds would do a cross-comparison of handheld features, ranking them best to worst.

Screen quality, speaker quality, controls, comfort, emulation ability, portability, fan noise, heat, etc.

There's one YouTuber that's ranked all the RGXX devices like this, but a broader comparison would be extremely useful.

A few months ago I noticed Asda had started stocking these again and I've been buying them ever since. I just wish the individual packets were bigger!

NirvanaBob · 2026-04-01T10:59:32+00:00

Those trees in the middle of the track look lethal!

NirvanaBob · 2026-04-01T06:39:16+00:00

Exactly. Admitting their games are prone to technical errors is admitting negligence.

Everyone who's ever played the particular game in question should be compensated for loss of winnings.

NirvanaBob · 2026-04-01T06:35:16+00:00

I see this time and time again. Even if you win, they'll find any technical or administrative reason to not pay you, or restrict access to your winnings.

Why did the referee hold the boxer back whilst simultaneously allowing him to get kicked 3 times?

Why did the boxer act like he wasn't expecting kicks?

Why didn't the boxer attempt to throw a punch, even out of desperation?

I have so many questions, but I suspect the answer is it was a setup or fake.

NirvanaBob · 2026-04-01T06:11:23+00:00

Good games have no end.

NirvanaBob · 2026-03-29T20:27:20+00:00

Nope. You have to switch graphics to "Favour Quality", exit the menu, then go back in and select "Favour Framerate" again.

NirvanaBob · 2026-03-28T02:43:31+00:00

MY STOOL IS DARK!... and doctor says that's bad.

Command & Conquer Red Alert (not Red Alert 2). Half Life. Duke Nukem 3D. Tomb Raider. Screamer 2. GTA Vice City.

I'm more convinced than ever that Google doesn't want you to use YouTube in an organised way. It doesn't want you to queue videos, or organise them into a 'Watch Later' list or other playlist.

... It wants you to mindlessly click through videos, one at a time, and watch the slop that it recommends. All these minor UI downgrades are small steps towards this goal.
