Debug Focus

  My First contact with VR was when I was with my best friend at a comic convention in my local city all the way back in 2016 I was like 12 or 13 back then and i'm fairly sure the "VR" I experienced was just simple phone VR. But nevertheless it was enough to get me hooked, 2016, and 2017 was spent binging Jacksepticeye and various other early VR adopters, I wanted VR however it was always just out of reach, you see at an MSRP of $600USD for the Oculus Rift CV 1 (and an eye watering $800 for the HTC Vive, the headset i wanted at-the-time) it was out of reach for some kid in rural Australia, even if i got my hands on the adequate funds, you would have needed close to $1500 to build a competent VR ready (and recording ready cos i was a dumb kid with ambitions) bringing the minimum total to over $2000, and for what? Job Simulator? however that didn't stop me fantasizing over owning one of these amazing contraptions and just wishing  that they came down in price or became ...

  Apple have a track record for being typically pricy and out of range for any budget conscious consumer with their cheapest new phone still costing at least $400, and their cheapest new computer still being over a thousand dollars, so with all that in mind is it possible to get into the apple ecosystem for under $700? For starters I wanna preface this by saying that the items selected are, in my opinion the best cheap ecosystem, this list does not include an iPad as a tablet doesn’t really fit my day-to-day life and anywhere I would use an iPad a laptop would still be preferred For the phone which acts as like the gateway to the apple ecosystem I went with the iPhone 8 as it was $250, I could have opted for the SE for $400 but in my country the SE is price hiked to just over $500 equivalent, however the iPhone 8 is still about 75% of the SE at 50% of the price, it runs the latest iOS, looks identical and isn’t that much slower, you’ll be getting at least a couple years of softwa...

The taotronics sound surge 90s position themselves as a budget alternative to common active noise cancelling headphones, priced at an attractive $90 aud they are only a fraction of the price of the Sony and Bose counterparts making them appear as a good alternative for the budget conscious consumer, however one doesn’t just make an identical set of headphones for a fraction of the competitors cost, there are some cut corners as with any piece of budget tech, namely the ear cups are too small, im 17, by no means am I full grown and the ear cups whilst they do fit, quite comfortably actually, its up to debate whether they will get a good fit on larger ears, this could be me used to my razor krakens’ circular ear cups where as these feature a more oval’d shape, another design oversight is the media controls, they call it a multi function button, but I call it pretty much useless, the single click pauses, press and hold turns the headset off, fair enough, however double clicking calls your...
