It hasn’t killed me yet! It was a Kickstarter product that one of my richer, less tightfisted friends gifted to me.
Why are some of you guys plugging your headphones into the USB plug, what is wrong with the good old jack?
Back in France, I was hosting a BrianRubin-esque extravaganza plugged to my PC. HOTAS! Midi converters! External soundcards!
Now that space is tight, it’s mouse, keyboard, gamepad, and the occasional backup HD or phone.
It seems to mirror how boring my computer life has become!
Nothing, these just happen to be USB. Had them for years. Decent mic too, though the Yeti is waaayyyy better.

- HOTAS
I want a death ray. Does it come in colors with a lighter attachment?
That cost me extra, but I felt it was worth it just for the whole feng shui of it all.
I had one of these plugged in for a while. But it always made me nervous.

I have a new mission. That mission is to have my my USB plasma ball and death ray do their thing while lighting my grill. I don’t think either of my 49 nor my 11 year old bosses will go for me moving the grill into our shared computer space.

I’ve been worried lately that I need a USB hub, but I guess I don’t really need one yet, and don’t want another AC adapter plugged into the wall regardless.
Scaaaaaaary.
To be clear, I’m not worried about the pretty lights. OTOH a plasma ball can light cathode ray tubes and fluorescent bulbs. Thus some small energy can pass through the glass. That being so, it worries me that any energy escapes right next to my expensive laptop. I’d hate to accidentally fry a memory stick or SSD.
I was sure I’d have the most but of course then @rei showed up :)
