BTW, if you have a headset you use for your PS5 with a noise canceling mic, you could likely just use that on your laptop (unless you wanted to only have a mic and no attached headset)

With the headset I use on my PS5 with mic, I can't get the mic to work. It has a mic in one of the cords, and when I tested it, nobody heard me. I mostly just used the headset to watch shows and play single-player games late at night without disturbing anybody in my apartment building.

I don't have a lot of experience with products in this category so unfortunately I can't offer any suggestions myself, but it might help to state your budget so that others might be about to better help you. 

Probably under $20 if possible 

Any suggestions for a microphone with noise-canceling for laptop? I don't have much to spend on it, so hopefully something cheap will last awhile if possible. I like the headphones I have, but the mic is on the cord, and it hasn't been working.

A billionaire helped bring ‘3-Body Problem’ to Netflix. His business partner ensured he never lived to see its premiere | CNN

Lin Qi, a billionaire fan of “The Three-Body Problem”, had big plans to bring his favorite Chinese sci-fi novel to TV, cinema and video-game screens. But he never lived to see it.

Quote

On a winter evening in 2020, Lin was driving home from Yoozoo Games headquarters in Shanghai when he suddenly felt unwell. He checked himself in to the hospital and initially recovered to a stable condition, but died 10 days later on Christmas Day, according to his company.

At least five toxins were detected in Lin’s body, including mercury and tetrodotoxin – an extremely potent poison found in pufferfish, Chinese financial magazine Caixin reported, citing people close to the video game tycoon.

Xu was identified as a key suspect and swiftly detained, according to a police statement at the time.

 

In its ruling last month, the Shanghai court said Xu had a dispute with Lin over “company management matters” and plotted to poison his boss through edible items over two days. Xu also poisoned beverages in the offices of two executives he had disputes with, causing four colleagues to fall sick, the court said. (The four survived.)

In the months following Lin’s death, Chinese media outlets pieced together a more detailed – and chilling – account of the murder, which involved meticulous planning that lasted months.

They cancelled all these shows I enjoyed, so nope, I'm not investing anymore of my time watching shows on Netflix when they'll most likely cancel them.

Altered Carbon

Iron Fist

Punisher

Luke Cage

Daredevil

Defenders

So when do you expect this series to get cancelled, like most big-budget Netflix series?

The end of the Affordable Connectivity Program is almost here, threatening to widen the digital divide | Brookings

That congressional analysis is borne out in ACP participants’ fears about the program’s potential end. A recent study showed that 65% of ACP participants fear that losing broadband would result in losing their job or their household’s primary source of income; 75% fear losing access to health care; and 81% of ACP parents worry about their children falling behind in school.

 

And it is not just those families that will bear the cost—our entire economy will suffer from disconnecting people. For example, a recent economics working paper estimated that for every dollar spent on the ACP, the nation’s GDP increases by $3.89—nearly twice the multiplier of the far larger Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program, which builds new digital infrastructure in unserved locations.

I currently get $30 off home Internet, so that's going to be rough without that.

I would still drink it five days later until it smelled really bad. I would get free milk from work when it went past its expiration date.

They have free apps you can download to a smart pad or whatever other device to send text messages. I did that for a few years when I didn't have a smartphone.

@Fizzzzle I hope you have a better day tomorrow at least.

They should have also included Wolverine, Namor and Bucky.

I started playing the story for my necromancer, which I barely started before. I mostly just did exploration and the events to level up from what I can remember. I leveled up the original 8 to 80 and used a booster on the new class. My plan is to finish 100% of the map with all 9 classes, finish the story, and WvW before doing much else.
