It’s the best selling mic on Amazon…but why? In this video we compare the Fifine A6T against other inexpensive USB microphones, as well as some XLR mics (like the RE20 we use on the WAN show) to find out if the A6T is as good a buy as it initially appears…

How many USB devices can be plugged into a PC at one time? It’s a reasonable question, but the answer is more complicated than you might expect. We took 127 USB devices and plugged them in one by one until something broke. Then we took those same devices and reconfigured a few things to see if we can break it a different way. Just how broken do things get? Which limits get hit? How can you calculate YOUR maximum USB amount?

Did you know Sega made gaming PCs? Well, they do, they’re modern, and they have been building machines like this for well over a decade. But there’s more to the story than just that! Did you know these PCs are used in arcades, run Windows, and have always on DRM that makes Denuvo look like child’s play, and it has lead to clandestine networks of arcade operators outside of the games’ native regions? How does it work? What caveats are there? Will this be your next sick rig?
