And here I'm searching why the rapper Drake whistle blowed the NSA


If you can afford a USD$3500 headset and live in HK, you are already wealthy and have a large apartment. Avg income here is around $2000/mo.


Hongkonger here. Lot of people can spend USD$3500 for a watch, gadget, or computer, AND still live in 200-300sqft apartments in HK. Doesn't make them "wealthy".


I don't know any world where spending that much in gadgets isn't for the wealthy. Yes, there are richer people out there. That is still a lot of money.


It's really not. Growing up, I had plenty of classmates who spent more than that on superficial car modifications while working a minimum wage job and whose family was on food stamps.


In one shot? That feels wrong. And is a poverty trap. :(


Lots of people on modest incomes buy gadgets on credit.


Having a 3k+ credit limit isn't that common, is it? And I don't know any consideration of the topic that doesn't treat credit cards as a problem/bad idea. Especially at that level.


Maybe cultural difference issue, but your logic sounds odd to me.

Surely with $2000/mo income (which you describe as average for HK) one can afford an occassional one-time purchase of $3500, after some saving (or, although I wouldn't personally do this, with a loan).

Or even more than that: my country has a similar average income, and average people spend 20K on a car without a second thought. And no, it's not that the car is needed as opposed to the headset, because the need of going from A to B can be satisfied by a 5K second-hand car, no one actually needs a new one.


It’s likely the price of one of these will drop faster than land in Hong Kong though.


Or 365 Personal with 1TB Onedrive, 50GB mailbox. If you want to add a custom domain you need to buy one at GoDaddy (yuck!)


I know at least one person who doesn't use GoDaddy with their 365 family account but still has the custom domain working.

The values to configure in DNS are available as parameters in the link on the M365 side.

YMMV, of course, but DNS is DNS.

Will they support it? Unlikely. Will it work forever? No way to be sure, but isn't everything temporary anyway?


4GB ram is not enough for a good 1080p gaming card. You'd most likely only be able to play esport titles on the 6500 XT. I went from a 3GB 1060 to a 6GB 5600 XT and it makes the extra frame buffer makes a massive difference as new games are getting very demanding to run, even on 1080p.
