plans to bring in a PHOO bit to one of the sets? thanks!

What are your thoughts on wireless TV's like those shown at CES this year? The practicality seems very limited given that they are battery powered.

The WotC move is right out of Apple/Nvidia's playbook. Take someone else's idea, let the users build it up to a market leader, then make it impossible to compete by monopolizing the industry. Classic

For DAN, what (if any) is your go-to pair of headphones these days? I've had some planar magnetic LCD2 knockoffs for a while, so I'd love to treat myself to something new eventually. Keep up the awesome work
Reply @Nate F!
Just got a pair of Sennheiser 8005, if you're doing planars. But I'm not

I have an in-joke in my dev circle that is "aesthetics don't matter". It's

In the 7900 XTX video, you said you were planning on going team red for your main rig's GPU. Do you recommend someone who streams, games, and does unity work to do the same or should they stay green?
