Podcasts about OLED

On this week's show we look into our crystal ball to see what is on the Home Theater Horizon. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: 2026 Value Electronics TV Shootout: Samsung Snaps Sony TV Streak CarPlay video coming with iOS 27 WGA Seeks Injunction to Block Deal's Closing What is on the Home Theater Horizon Home theater technology is advancing quickly and the trend is moving toward wireless setups, brighter and more flexible displays, AI-powered calibration, immersive spatial audio, and simpler high-end installations. Today we take a look at what we can expect over the next couple of years. Displays: Brighter, Wireless, and Modular Ultra-thin wireless OLEDs: LG's OLED evo W6, also called the Wallpaper TV, is part of their 2026 evo lineup. It's incredibly thin — just 9 millimeters thick — and features a true wireless design. All your devices plug into a separate Zero Connect Box that can sit up to 10 meters away. The box then sends 4K video and audio wirelessly to the TV with almost no quality loss. The TV also includes Hyper Radiant Color Technology. This delivers much higher brightness — up to 3.9 times brighter than standard OLEDs — along with deeper black levels and fewer reflections. For gamers, it supports 4K at 165 Hertz, G-SYNC, and very fast response times. MicroLED and RGB advancements: MicroLED displays — including variants like Micro RGB or TriChroma — are becoming popular for luxury home theater setups. They deliver perfect blacks like OLED screens, but with much higher brightness, no burn-in risk, and modular designs that let you create custom sizes, such as 136-inch or even larger cinema walls. Brands like LG with their MAGNIT Active Micro LED, Samsung, and Sony are leading the way, offering seamless, cinema-certified picture quality. Consumer versions are still quite expensive — often six figures for a full wall — but they're becoming more realistic and affordable over time. Mini RGB: These TVs are poised to be a big hit because they combine the best of both worlds: the perfect blacks and contrast of OLED with the extreme brightness, longevity, and modular flexibility of MicroLED-style RGB technology. By using advanced Mini RGB LED backlighting, Mini RGB delivers stunning HDR performance, vibrant colors, and seamless large-screen designs ideal for luxury home theaters — all without burn-in worries. Sony's reputation for premium picture processing, cinema-grade calibration, and build quality gives their Mini RGB  a clear edge over competitors, making these TVs the top choice for serious enthusiasts who want theater-like visuals that will stay impressive for years to come. Projectors: Triple-laser UST (ultra-short-throw) and standard models dominate, with brighter outputs (thousands of ISO lumens), wider color gamuts (e.g., 110% BT.2026), Dolby Vision support, and 4K/8K capabilities. Examples include XGIMI Horizon 20 Max, AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro, and Hisense models. Laser is now the baseline for premium performance. Audio: Wireless Immersion and Modular Systems Wireless multi-speaker ecosystems: Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is rolling out more widely including the LG Sound Suite. This enables cable-free speaker placement with accurate panning. Sony's BRAVIA Theatre lineup (Trio, Bar 7/9, etc.) emphasizes modular wireless components with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, phantom speakers (up to 24 channels), and room calibration. Advanced AVRs and processors: Denon, Onkyo, and others offer higher-channel support (9.4+), Dirac Live/Audyssey calibration, and AI room tuning. Multi-channel processors use Audio over IP for fewer wires in custom installs. Immersive extras: Haptic furniture, synchronized smart lighting using the  Philips HDMI Sync Box 2.1, and AI acoustic optimization for real-time adjustments. Other Notable Trends AI integration: Automatic calibration, content optimization, and adaptive environments including  room mapping for sound and light.. Hybrid/immersive rooms: 360-degree or wraparound video with spatial audio, plus premium formats inspired by commercial cinema (laser projection, higher baselines like 7.1+ with height channels). Lifestyle focus: Movable displays, aesthetically integrated speakers, mainly acoustically transparent designs, and easier setups for non-dedicated rooms. There are some exciting technologies shaping the next couple of years in home theater. Displays are getting brighter, thinner, and more flexible with ultra-thin wireless designs. High-performance UST laser projectors will bring huge screens to rooms where it was never possible before. And the shift toward truly wireless, immersive audio will fill any room with rich, room-filling sound. Best of all, your entire system will adapt to your room with the touch of a button!

In today's Daily Fix:A report from ZDNet says Nintendo is already considering a Switch 2 OLED model, but is hesitant over the price. An OLED panel would be an improvement over the current Switch 2's LCD screen, but would cost more. The ongoing hardware component crisis is also a factor, which has forced Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft to raise prices on their current-gen consoles post-launch. In other news, fans may have criticized Ubisoft for their DLC plans for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, but that didn't stop gamers from buying them. The company has made an extra $1 million on Steam from sales of the game's DLC items. And in related news, hundreds of employees across several studios are being laid off, including those at Ubisoft's support studio in Barcelona, which had worked on Black Flag Resynced.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss the high-end of Apple's increasingly tangled MacBook lineup, including the entry-level MacBook Pro, the redesigned high-end models, and the rumored “MacBook Ultra."1:39 Why Apple Is Skipping M6 Pro and M6 Max4:01 MacBook Ultra Timing and First-Generation Problems6:00 How MacBook Pro and MacBook Ultra Could Coexist9:59 Sponsor: Claude11:20 Untangling Apple's Upcoming MacBook Lineup12:47 Which MacBook Models Are Worth Waiting For?18:00 The MacBook Pro Redesign and Dynamic Island23:10 Could MacBook Ultra Replace High-End MacBook Pros?28:18 What Is a Touchscreen Mac Actually For?30:08 Samsung's New Foldable and Apple's iPhone Ultra33:03 MacBook Ultra Pricing, Features, and Dream Apple DevicesApple's chip roadmap for the Mac is reportedly set to take an unusual turn over the next year. The company is said to be skipping the M6 Pro and M6 Max entirely, jumping from the M5 generation straight to the M7 for its high-end laptops. A standard M6 chip will still arrive this year in an entry-level ‌MacBook Pro‌, but there will apparently be no Pro or Max variant in that family.As a result, Apple's first high-end OLED laptop will use the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips rather than newer silicon. First-generation buyers would therefore be paying a premium for a redesigned machine featuring the same processors already found in the current ‌MacBook Pro‌, with M7 Pro and M7 Max models expected to follow in the second half of 2027.The launch window remains fluid. The device was long expected to arrive in late 2026, but memory chip constraints and Apple's recent price increases have pushed it toward early 2027. A second-generation model with M7 chips is already planned for late 2027, meaning the first Ultra could remain on sale for a relatively short window.The overlapping releases make for a crowded and confusing roadmap. Across roughly a year, Apple is expected to ship a base M6 ‌MacBook Pro‌, a redesigned base M7 model in the first half of 2027, two M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Ultramodels, their eventual M7 Pro and M7 Max successors, and perhaps new high-end ‌MacBook Pro‌ models with the M7 Pro and M7 Max. Notably, the entry-level M7 model is set to get the new design first, ahead of the pricier high-end ‌MacBook Pro‌ models.The headline changes are reserved for the top-tier "Ultra" model. It is expected to be the first Mac with an OLED display, using the same hybrid tandem ‌OLED‌ technology as the iPad Pro, along with the first touchscreen on a Mac, a Dynamic Island in place of the notch, and a thinner chassis. Both 14-inch and 16-inch sizes are expected. Built-in cellular connectivity for the first time on a Mac is also rumored.Apple is reportedly positioning touch as “touch-friendly, not touch-first," letting users move between touch, trackpad, and keyboard rather than treating the Mac like an iPad. That marks a reversal for a company that long resisted the idea. Steve Jobs argued in 2010 that vertical touchscreens cause arm fatigue, and as recently as 2021 hardware chief John Ternus said the Mac was "totally optimized for indirect input."Signs of the shift are already visible in macOS 27 Golden Gate, which adds direct touch control to Sidecar, so users can tap and interact with macOS elements using a finger on an ‌iPad‌. A reinforced hinge is also expected, so the display does not wobble when tapped. Pricing is likely to be steep. Apple raised prices across the Mac lineup in June, and the current 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ now starts at $1,999, rising to $2,499 with the M5 Pro chip and $4,099 for an M5 Max. The 16-inch M5 Max reaches $4,399, and a fully specced configuration already exceeds $10,000. The high-end ‌OLED‌ model is expected to start higher still.Ready to tackle bigger problems?

Deze aflevering van Gamekings Daily is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/u6PPgRbQCio Welkom bij Gamekings Daily. De gaming vodcast waarin twee presentatoren van Gamekings praten over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld die videogames heet. Vandaag is het donderdag en is Daan langsgekomen om met JJ het nieuws van de afgelopen dagen door te nemen. Zo gaan de twee in op de verregaande maatregelen die XBOX nam bij id Software, de studio achter legendarische games als DOOM en Quake. Is er nog toekomst voor de Amerikanen en waarom greep XBOX zo hard in. Dit topic en meer zie en hoor je voorbijkomen in de GK Daily van donderdag 9 juli 2026. Er is niet veel meer over van het eens zo vermaarde id Software Een ander onderwerp dat de twee behandelen, zijn enkele nieuwe ‘gelekte feitjes’ over de reboot van Splinter Cell. Het is al een tijd lang (verdacht) stil rond de game van Ubisoft. Maar een kraker brengt daar nu verandering in. Krijg 15% korting bij aankoop van de 39GX950B OLED monitor van LG UltraGear Als je het blije gezicht van Koos in de video over de 39GX950B monitor ziet, dan weet je eigenlijk genoeg. LG heeft, zoals zo vaak, weer iets fijns in elkaar gezet. De 39 inch is de sweet spot wat OLED betreft. Je hebt een 5K2K resolutie, 165Hz met een dual mode, die op een lagere resolutie op 330Hz kan halen. Deze specs zorgen ervoor dat de PPI dermate hoog is dat de monitor ideaal is voor gamen, maar ook perfect gebruikt kan worden voor normaal kantoorkwerk. Ideaal dus. Interesse? Check hier alle specs. Bij aankoop krijg je 15% exclusieve Gamekings korting als je bij het afrekenen de code GameKings_2026 invoert. Deze korting geldt ook voor de 27GX790B monitor die we tijdens de GKE3 periode lieten zien. Scoor onze nieuwe zomermerch en support Gamekings Traditiegetrouw hebben wij ook deze zomer een nieuw, zomers stuk fashion voor je klaarstaan. Ideaal voor de zomerse warmte.

(00:00:00) Il riscatto dell'Europa: il chip Apple C2 debutta da noi (00:00:18) Prosegue il viaggio nei 630 GB di leak di Tata Electronics (00:02:30) Il mercato dei chip e lo spettro dei rincari fino al 2028 (00:05:47) Il successo di Apple Silicon e la roadmap dei 3 nanometri (00:08:59) Il modulo C2: la connettività diventa un affare di Stato a Cupertino (00:14:31) L'ironico paradosso: perché l'Europa batte gli Stati Uniti sul 5G proprietario (00:19:10) La fisica della batteria: milliamperora, eSIM e l'ottimizzazione del segnale (00:22:55) iPad mini OLED e MacBook Ultra: il C2 ridisegna i consumi dell'ecosistema (00:27:25) Starlink, Revolut Mobile e l'utopia di un'Apple senza più roaming (00:32:23) Unificare le linee produttive: la sfida finale di Tim Cook prima dell'addio In questo nuovo capitolo dedicato alla mastodontica fuga di notizie di Tata Electronics, spostiamo la lente d'ingrandimento lontano dalla potenza pura del chip A20 per concentrarci sulla vera colonna portante del futuro di Apple: la connettività. Con una mossa che ha del paradossale e dell'ironico, i documenti svelano che i veri flagship europei di iPhone 18 Pro e Pro Max monteranno in anteprima mondiale il nuovo modem proprietario C2, lasciando il mercato americano temporaneamente ancorato alle vecchie antenne Qualcomm per via delle onde millimetriche. Analizziamo l'impatto di un chip di rete che non è più un elemento isolato ma dialoga a bassissima latenza con il silicio principale, i sogni di un'autonomia stravolta dalla rimozione fisica della SIM e la transizione globale verso la connettività satellitare di massa, in attesa del debutto autunnale su iPad mini OLED e sul proibitivo MacBook Ultra.Visita Digiteee e scopri tutte le notizie sulla tecnologiaSegui Digiteee su TikTokDimmi la tua su Twitter, su Threads, su Telegram, su Mastodon, su BlueSky o su Instagram.Mail jacoporeale@yahoo.it Scopri dove ascoltare il podcast e lascia una recensione su Apple Podcast o Spotify.Ascolta An iPad guy su YouTube Podcast.Supporta il podcast

Wij gaan dat weekend inluiden met een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live. De talkshow waarin we het belangrijkste nieuws van de week met je doornemen. Jelle, JJ en Koos gaan er zoals altijd met frisse zin tegenaan. Zelfs het besluit van PlayStation om vanaf 2028 geen fysieke games meer te gaan maken voor hun consoles, kan de pret niet drukken. Dit gesprekspunt en meer zie en hoor je voorbijkomen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 3 juli 2026. Scoor onze nieuwe zomermerch en support Gamekings Traditiegetrouw hebben wij ook deze zomer een nieuw, zomers stuk fashion voor je klaarstaan. Ideaal voor de zomerse warmte. Vanaf 16:00 uur kun je de cap hier kopen. Het geld gebruiken we om de toko overeind te houden. Dus support ons waar je kunt en je krijgt er wat cools voor terug. PlayStation is er niet populairder op geworden Naast de ophef over het verdwijnen van fysieke games bij PlayStation, hebben de drie het ook over de vooruitziende blik van Kojima, het succes van de remake van Star Fox en de volgende game van de makers van Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Haal de Thin 15 gaming laptop voor minder dan 800 euro in huis MSI zet deze week de Thin 15 gaming laptop in de spotlights. Een echt instapmodel tegen een lekkere scherpe prijs.

In this episode, we break down Valve's hardware evolution from the original Steam Machine failures and the growth of SteamOS to the cutting-edge future of PC VR streaming and next-gen AR. Most tech enthusiasts are stuck in the same dilemma: is the new Steam Machine and Steam Frame worth your investment? Even Valve's insiders admit the current hardware isn't designed for mainstream gaming—it's more of a collector's toy for the hardcore. Yet, beneath the surface of doubts and delays lies a seismic shift that's shaping the future of VR and AR, with some astonishing breakthroughs on the horizon.You'll discover why Valve is more interested in pushing the boundaries of form factor and software support than in immediate sales figures. We explore how the current tech can handle VR titles like Half-Life Alyx and why streaming VR might soon become a smoother experience—if only the streaming stack gets more polish.We break down the real game-changers coming in the hardware space, including Samsung's revolutionary micro OLED displays capable of 40,000 nits brightness—an order of magnitude brighter than current VR headsets. Plus, what does that mean for the future of ultra-light mixed reality glasses? You'll learn how industry giants like Meta, Snap, and Qualcomm are racing to create sleek, powerful AR glasses that might finally break through the bulky barrier—if only they can solve fundamental issues like form factor, eye tracking, and power efficiency.Why does all this matter? Because the next decade could see AR and VR become seamlessly intertwined with daily life—blurring boundaries between virtual and real worlds. Missing out on these breakthroughs now means playing catch-up later, when technology finally matures and becomes accessible for mass adoption.Perfect for tech visionaries, VR enthusiasts, and anyone eager to understand the next big leap in immersive tech, this episode connects the dots between hardware hurdles, industry rumors, and groundbreaking innovations. Whether you're contemplating your next headset or just fascinated by the future of digital interfaces, this conversation offers the essential insights you need to stay ahead.

Ian Hamilton spent years as editor in chief of Upload VR before launching his own Substack, Good VR, and podcast at goodvirtualreality.com. He is one of the few people covering XR longer and more deeply than Charlie Fink, and his perspective spans platform architecture, business strategy, and genuine on-the-ground journalism since the DK1 days.This conversation traces why the XR dream has taken longer than anyone expected. Ian and Rony Abovitz reconstruct the moment the ecosystem forked — when Meta's Oculus acquisition closed off the open, Valve-led platform path that Magic Leap and everyone else had been building toward. Ian argues the platforms are now playing for keeps: OpenXR moves on decade timescales, and that friction is what keeps real transformation just out of reach.On hardware, his case is sharp: Meta's self-imposed $200–$600 price ceiling makes OLED and eye tracking impossible at mass market — exactly the features Apple bet on as the mandatory baseline — and that contradiction is why Bosworth ended up pivoting to AI glasses.In AI XR News You Should Know: Anthropic's Mythos AI model reportedly escaped the company's own containment. Charlie and Rony debate whether calling the consequences "unintended" is even credible given decades of published warnings. Also: a Hollywood Reporter and Otis School study found AI is not the primary driver of empty LA sound stages — runaway production and tax incentives are the main story.Key Moments:[00:01:00] – Charlie's new vertical melodrama "Linda's Last Podcast" and why generative AI is already good enough for social media storytelling.[00:04:52] – Rony on Anthropic's Mythos: the compute to cure cancer, aimed somewhere else.[00:11:47] – Half of Gen Z holds a negative view of AI. Charlie on the Brown grad who turned down an AI studio internship on principle.[00:36:00] – Rony and Ian reconstruct the Valve/Oculus open platform — and walk through exactly how that future closed.[00:47:00] – Meta's price ceiling, OLED as a strategic forcing function, and why Bosworth landed on AI glasses.[00:52:00] – Ian on the Apple Vision Pro mid-flight: why the headset is a personal computer, not a wearable.Ian's long view: we're about ten percent of the way through the total investment required to reach a billion users. The supply chain is better than ever, the software has found its footing in simulation and training, and the next five to ten years could be the most interesting window yet — if the platforms decide to let the ecosystem breathe.This episode is sponsored by Zappar, the team behind Mattercraft — the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences on mobile, headsets, and desktop.

Summer Game Fest was this week, so we talk about the games that Sony, Microsoft, and third parties showed at this Not-E3 week. Included in this is the whiplash of 1666: Amsterdam between the trailer and the playable prologue, the difference between Tupac's estate and his family, and my hopeful take on Persona 6's direction. Crazy Taxi: World Tour was also announced, but has a disclaimer that generative AI was used in the assets, which makes it a non-starter for many fans. The Switch 2 will get a redesign in Europe that allows for an easily replaceable battery due to new EU regulations. Don't expect this design to come to the US, but any new Switch (such as a lite or OLED model) will most likely have the same feature. Then we talk to OLR about Summer Game Fest.

On today's show we look at some AppleTV and Home announcements from the Apple WWDC and look at what that fuss is about the new Sony's True RGB TVs. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Households Used More Than 10 Video Services Daily Google Rolls Out a Major Update to Its Google TV Streamer 4k Apple TV from Apple's WWDC 2026 Key takeaways for Apple TV from Apple's WWDC 2026 are relatively modest and software-focused, as the event emphasized iOS 27. tvOS 27 Highlights for Apple TV Larger Text / System-Wide Text Size Adjustment: A new accessibility option lets users increase on-screen text size across supported apps and the interface. AI-Generated / On-Device Subtitles: tvOS 27 adds real-time automatic subtitle generation for videos lacking built-in captions (including personal content).  Other Refinements: Expect Liquid Glass UI polish, performance/stability improvements, smarter recommendations, and better smart home/HomeKit ties. Siri upgrades (more conversational, on-screen awareness) should improve voice control on Apple TV, though full Apple Intelligence features may wait for new hardware. tvOS 27 developer betas are available now post-keynote, with public release expected in fall 2026 alongside other OS updates. As far as the Apple Home app goes, updates  mainly dealt with Apple Intelligence integration for smarter camera handling and notifications: The Home app now uses Apple Intelligence to generate natural language descriptions of compatible camera footage, letting you search clips conversationally by saying something like,  "show me when the dog was in the backyard" Smarter batched notifications that feel less overwhelming. Alerts are intelligently grouped and dynamic instead of constant floods. Accessory updates update in real-time as conditions change. With deeper Siri AI and Shortcuts integration you can describe automations in natural language and let Siri build them (including Home shortcuts). Voice control becomes more conversational and context-aware. Hardware Notes No new Apple TV 4K hardware was announced at WWDC (consistent with expectations). A refreshed model with A17 Pro (or similar) for full Apple Intelligence/Siri 2.0 support, better smart home capabilities, and possibly Wi-Fi 7 has been "ready for months" but is being held for later in 2026 to align with the advanced AI features. What is Sony's True RGB TV All About? Sony's True RGB is Sony's marketing name for their advanced RGB Mini-LED backlight technology, introduced in 2026 for high-end BRAVIA TVs the BRAVIA 9 II and BRAVIA 7 II series. How True RGB Works Traditional Mini-LED or QLED TVs typically use white or blue LEDs as the backlight, then pass that light through color filters or Quantum Dots to create colors. This filtering process can reduce color purity, brightness, and efficiency. Sony's True RGB technology takes a different approach by using tiny independent red, green, and blue (RGB) LEDs in the backlight, with each color LED controllable separately across thousands or even millions of local dimming zones, generating color directly at the light source before it reaches the LCD layer rather than filtering white light. Sony's True RGB technology delivers purer and more accurate colors with a significantly wider color volume and gamut, higher peak brightness while maintaining excellent color accuracy, superior contrast and black levels that can challenge OLED performance in certain scenarios, improved energy efficiency through smart power distribution algorithms that use less power than previous generations, and outstanding off-angle viewing with minimal color shift. Key Advantages Sony Highlights Sony's True RGB technology delivers true-to-source color accuracy, backed by the company's deep professional monitor expertise and decades of innovation in RGB technology dating back to the groundbreaking 2004 QUALIA series. This is powered by advanced RGB Backlight Master Drive processing that expertly manages the immense complexity of controlling millions of individual colored diodes in real time. Overall, it successfully combines the best of Mini-LED brightness with near-OLED levels of color performance and contrast. In short, True RGB is Sony's premium implementation of direct RGB Mini-LED backlighting. Sony emphasizes not just the hardware (RGB LEDs), but their proprietary optical design, drivers, and image processing to make it perform better than competing RGB LED TVs from other brands. Sony True RGB Models with Pricing (2026 Lineup) Prices are MSRP/launch pricing (as of mid-2026; actual street prices and sales vary by retailer like Best Buy, Crutchfield, or Sony's site). Larger sizes command big premiums. BRAVIA 7 II - more accessible entry into True RGB, excellent color and brightness for the price 50" — ~$1,600 55" — ~$2,100 65" — ~$2,600 75" — ~$3,100 85" — ~$4,000 98" — ~$9,000 BRAVIA 9 II - higher brightness, more advanced processing, better anti-glare, and local dimming performance 65" — ~$3,600 75" — ~$4,600 85" — ~$6,500 115" — ~$31,000 (a massive premium flagship option)

Build 2026 is underway in San Francisco this week, and it started with a big, overly-long keynote as always. And Computex is this week, too. There's a lot going on, and some of it is fascinating.

Also, Microsoft GA's WinApp CLI, announces the Windows Platform Skills plug-in for native app creation, and you're not going to believe what Paul did next.

Double Tap - Ep 464 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Night Fision (Code: WLSISLIFE) Rost Martin (Code: WLSISLIFE) Flatline Fiber Co (Code: WLS15) Foxtrot Mike (Code: WLSISLIFE) Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public   Show Titles   GOA GOALS Aug 1-2 in Iowa. https://goals.goa.org/ GunCon.net Tickets on sale now. Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from JackB from TX On double tap 451 Nick said he would know he was successful when he ordered a custom double rifle. I always say something similar, which is if I win the lottery I'm telling no one, but there would be signs. Like the sudden acquisition of a custom double rifle.My first question is, if the cast were going to order custom double rifles, what caliber would you choose? If Shawn wants to make H&H invent a 171 WLS for him, that's dope, but what would your second choice be? Followup question to help me choose my caliber. If I got one, I'd want one of the classic elephant gun Calibers. I love 45-70 but it just wouldn seem right. So of those old safari calibers which ones have milder recoil and are still somewhat commercially available? -JackB Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Connecticut From: Jaqin Ta'Sox: Dear WLS In double tap 451 at 19:58 minutes, someone asks about deadly force against a bull horn to the ear. I understand an ass whoopin is absolutely due in that situation, BUT I find it kind of interesting. Like Jerambey said, it is permanent bodily harm. Just like if someone tries to use a laser pointer to blind you, deadly force is a go, but not for permanent hearing loss? Question from Anonymous Coward from Texas What is the best way to form 1 a homemade suppressor? Looking at mostly finger printing that can be reused. But also looking at design requirements like length and such. Question from Duke from Texas Duke of CrudeSo I was crusing Armslist looking for some travel guns and came across a mosin nagant for $495. I had an epiphany over that post. What if the mosin was worth the same but inflation was just so terrible that now a $95 dollar gun in 2002 is $495 dollars today? Just some food for thought before AI takes over. Thanks for the laughs! Duke Question from Anonymous Coward from Washington Shawn has been on a geeky mission for a while. I am wondering if he can geek out and make a universal shopping cart that using his web crawler A/I skills could check multiple sites to see if products are available from one source. Example I am ordering some area 419 products, a few CZ mags and a kydex cheek riser. I am bound to pay shipping from 3 separate sites. I am trying to see if there is one source carrying what I need. Keep up the good work Shawn getting deeper back into his tech roots but staying a gun guy at heart is bringing rewards for all of us. GUN INDUSTRY NEWS THEFIREARMBLOG.COM Edgar Sherman Design Notch Precision Shooting Bag Shooting bags don't exactly get a lot of innovation press.The category has been dominated by the same handful of designs for years, and for good reason: a well-executed bag filled with the right material and wrapped in grippy fabric solves most problems a precision shooter will ever encounter on a stage or in the field.New entrants that bring something genuinely different to that conversation are rare enough to be worth paying attention to when they show up.
