That's pretty cool. Epic is really trying to secure their position on top before Fortnite fades.

Did it force you on to the new design?

Not forced. I am set up to get the new designs, but this is just eh. Now there are avatars next to comments and a handful of minor design changes.

Thinking to get these.  I'm not really an audiophile so I'm not sure what's good. 

These sound a lot better than any sound devices I've ever had.  Pretty happy.

I'm not really a fan of headphones.  They usually make my ears warm.  But I also don't like earphones...

Wireless is cool too.

I know no one cares about the headphones...  

But it's just weird listening to a song I've listened to dozens of times before and hearing sounds in it I've never heard before.  

Like the song Arms Wide Open apparently starts with a few seconds of a heart beat.  

It's also weird hearing a door open in a video, and not being sure if it came from the video or an actual door in the room I'm in...  That happened too.

I love stuff like that!

Headphones are annoying but man can they make things sound nice. Super important for video editing too.

Kinda unbelievable to me, but I saw someone spend an extra $40 so they could get a non-smart TV.  They didn't have Internet so they didn't want the Roku TV and opted for a more expensive one.

Did the smart TV require internet to use basic features?

I do not believe so.
It is possible though.

Moto G7.

My old phone was 3 years old. Moto G4 Play. 
We spent a bit more on this, and it's 3 years newer.

Just kind of magical.

I think it's funny when you see a story on Reddit and people say it's fake and they give reasons like X,Y,Z.  

But then you have personal experience with X happening.  

It's like the same evidence that makes it obviously fake for one person makes it easier to believe for another.
