Is there a "go-to" budget microphone in 2024 for talking to people within games? My budget is £40 or so.

I have always used a 5.1 speaker system to play games but I loved PUBG back in 2017-2019. It was basically mandatory to use a microphone to do well, so it is the one game I've used a headset for, and I met some nice people playing it. I miss the experience. I am looking for games that also...

Is this possible?

It really doesn't at times. However, it casts from the YouTube app perfectly. Every time.

Years of trouble over multiple models of the Chromecast (including modern TV that have them built-in) when trying to cast from Plex / Emby over the Internet (not on LAN). It's been nothing to do with Plex / Emby or the server / server router. Has just never worked quite right for us. I do not...

I only need basic DLNA / Miracast functionality.

I know most cheap Android TV boxes are riddled with spyware from the factory. The Cast button does not appear in Android and iOS apps when using an Amazon Fire TV dongle.

Isn't the WiiM Mini for audio only?

I want to use the Cast button in Android and iOS apps to cast videos to a non-smart TV and do not want to use Google Cast or Apple AirPlay. Does anyone have any experience with cheapo DLNA / Miracast dongles...

Windows has always liked opening new Windows Explorer windows in random places on my desktop. Does anyone know of a Windows Explorer toolbar button (or system tray icon) that moves current window to certain position (that I set) on my display?

I have two PCs on my network, Upstairs-PC and Downstairs-PC. Both run Windows 11. I recently had to reinstall Windows 11 on my downstairs PC. Since then, even though I believe I have set up sharing as normal, when I try to access \\Downstairs-PC, it tells me my credentials are incorrect. Both...

I have a small case, so can not use a tower cooler. I will not be overclocking or doing anything too heavy. Are there are go-to low-profile / top-blow coolers (I think they are the names of the type of cooler I am looking for?) in 2023, or should I just grab an AMD Wraith Prism? (£29) If it...

I have a Logitech Z906 5.1 PC speaker system. I need to extend the cable for one of the rear speakers; ideally to 10 meters. Would the below speaker cable work fine? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232292618651 If not, what should I be looking for?

Those are images unfortunately, rather than unicode. I wanted to add a 'rolls eyes' emoji above :D

Oh yeah, forgot about that rule. Thank you for reminding me. Sorted it. EDIT: Hmm, appears this forum is also the only one I know of that doesn't support emoji. Ah well.

I am looking for a reasonably priced 3.5" HDD USB enclosure. I will be popping a 18 TB Western Digital Purple Pro HDD into it. I have found the following enclosures that support 18TB hard drives and include a 12v power adapter: Yottamaster DF6 (£25) Orico CP35C3 (£29) Orico M35C3 (£35) These...

My setup: ASRock B550M Pro4 motherboard (manual) Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z906 (manual) Wharfedale Diamond SW-150 powered subwoofer (manual) The SW-150 is sitting in storage doing nothing, so I was hoping I could add it as a second subwoofer to my PC. The Logitech system takes up all...
