It's handy tech under a hundred time again, and this time no sticky stuff.
I've got a better way to charge a better way to communicate a better way to cool and a better way to dongle.
Let's do it.
Be quiet silent wings three used a smooth-running 6-pole motor to remain silent and better cool your PC check them out of the link below.
Number one is the Antlion mod mic 5 a boom style microphone that can attach to any pair of headphones.
Turning them into a very capable and modular headset for 70 bucks.
This way you get to keep your audiophile grade headphones that you'd prefer to listen to instead of resorting to
Clipping a mic to your clothes, putting a desktop microphone in front of you, or switching to a gaming headset all of which
might not be ideal solutions for a variety of
unsurprising reasons. There are good gaming headset options like the ATH-AG1 from audio-technica.
But spending that kind of money doesn't make a lot of sense if you already have awesome headphones that you
personally like and you don't want to lose their sound signature which can be annoying. Of course if it sucked
We wouldn't bother talking about it, but now in its fifth generation the mod mic does sound great though
I don't expect you to take my word for it
I'm going to read the rest of this paragraph on a handful of competing solutions once the base is attached to your headphones
You can clip it on or remove it easily with its built-in magnet it has a dual mic capsule with an omnidirectional
Mic and a separate Uni directional mic a modular mute switch a cable rack to protect your wires and simplify your setup
modular cable lengths the right adapters get you going no matter what device you have other than I guess an
iPhone 7 although if you have one of those bluetooth audio
dongle things you could get it to work with the y adapter, and there's also Kevlar reinforced wiring because
Why not?
Number 2, the Silverstone 1 to 8 PWM fan Hub.
Which is way cooler than the name makes it sound yes, yes.
It's just a fan hub, but it is a 4 pin PWM. So it will support whatever fans
You'd like it looks very sleek and will go in pretty much any case
Even with all the tempered glass that's been going around lately. The cables are in an appropriate length
So you won't have a ton of excess, but there also will be enough to actually plug them in which is important
And it comes with awesome 3M Dualock adhesive strips so you can put it anywhere in your case that you'd like.
No more awkward fan cables running all around your motherboard searching for just one more fan header.
Just one single cable to control the speed and it's only 12 bucks less than you'd pay for many premium fans anyways.
Number three, the fin six dart it's barely under a hundred bucks, but it's really cool. It's a laptop charger
That's so small that when I first saw it
I genuinely asked if it's actually just for charging phones and while I can do that with the integrated
2.1 Amp USB port it also charges
laptops in the box you'll get your dart charger a nice carrying pouch for everything nine tips for charging a variety of
Laptops and a thank you note for their kickstarter.
wwwwhhhaaattt?
a decent product that I like from Kickstarter
ok that was weird, and it gets even more unbelievable if none of the included adapters actually work for you
Just email them and they'll send you one that does for free. That's cool. Now unsurprisingly
It's not that strong at only 65 watts of output you'll be stuck with the thinner
Sleeker selection of laptops out there if you want full charging performance
But that being said it
Does work with laptops that want more juice like my old Asus Bamboo whose included charger is rated for about
90 Watts
It will charge just a little bit more slowly which may be a fair trade-off while traveling if you're going to be able to
Charge overnight, and bag space is at a premium
Thanks United. Last, but potentially not least we have number 4 the Accell
Whatever, it's a displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0. Adapter
Most graphics cards these days only have one HDMI port sometimes you need more
Sure your monitors probably take displayport, but Vr headsets capture cards TVS and video splitters are almost always
HDMI, only big deal Luke. There's like a million of these on newegg right ok
but if you dig a little
Deeper into the specs most of them are HDMI 1.4 which means they're limited to 4k at 30 Hertz
instead of 60 Hertz which means your high-resolution display will feel laggy and
stutter in everything from games to even basic desktop use
Which brings us finally to the full disclosure part of these handy tech episodes since they're structured more as a recommendation to buy
With links below to Amazon versus a review. We like to disclose. Why we chose these and how we acquired them
Item 1: the mod Mike 5 was actually sent to us by antlion for an ad spot
We did for them a little while ago, but Linus's always loved these things and I have two and this one is just well
more to love
Item 2 the Silverstone 1 to 8 Pwm fan Hub was sent by Silverstone for Linus's Desk PC
project though unfortunately
It didn't arrive in time. The Fin six dart Linus back to this a thousand freaking years ago
And it just arrived a couple weeks ago
item 4 the Accell displayport to HDMI
adapter was purchased by Linus personally to solve his
decidedly first world problem of how to connect his 4k TV and his
HTC vive to the 980ti in his media Center PC at the same time
