    Switch to Stremio (with Torrentio) and never worry about running out of storage space again. Everything is streamed directly to your TV, no downloading necessary. Browse like it’s Netflix and just pick something then watch it. Plus there’s support for home theater enthusiasts with features like HDR, Dolby Atmos, 4K, etc.






  • Because the cables are difficult to plug in and break constantly. What was most frustrating about the standard was that the previous one, mini-USB, was considerably better by an order of magnitude. The connection wasn’t flimsy as hell, for one.

    The robustness of USB-C reminds me of mini-, which is the main reason why prefer it. I also appreciate that you can plug the cable in any direction and it’ll always work, every time. You can even plug it in reverse and it will still work, something we’ve never had in a USB cable before. Micro- sucks so much ass that I can’t believe that anyone would prefer it to over mini- or -C.




  • Hot take: They’re IEMs, so they’re garbage nonetheless. For a proper soundstage, over ear open- or semi-open-backs are the only way to go.

    That said, I understand the need for a smaller headphone if you just need something playing in your ears during exercise or at work, which is perfectly fine so long as you’re not making them your primary pair of headphones.

    Few things trigger me more than seeing a game streamer using earbuds. You’re bypassing your pinna—so you’re not getting proper 3D audio—which is critical for competitive games these days!
