@@RGBmode The point of this channel is to review and get a first impression over many different things, unlike LTT which is slightly more focused, if you don't like the variety of this channel then simply turn off notifications to it. and if you are talking about your sub feed in general then simply unsub from this channel. Linus made this channel as he wanted it, and so it is, simple as that. Hopefully, I haven't come across as rude and if I have it wasn't my intent.

The clear rubber over the braded cable is a brilliant design. I've always loved braided cables, they last so much longer. Except they become a fuzzy mess as the threads get yanked and pulled. This basically solves that. I need more companies to do this.

I'm a doctor from the UK working in Canada. I had to Google and find out that it's a combination of 'Tylenol' (aka. acetaminophen/paracetamol) and methocarbamol (trade name Robaxin). Its funny to me how most members of the canadian/US public has waaay more knowledge of pharmaceutical company trade names than any UK doctor. It's because we generally work using generic names. If we prescribe a trade name, the hospital has to buy that specific brand, whereas if we prescribe a generic name they give a tablet which does exactly the same thing but costs much less. Just a healthcare policy thing, but I think term 'Robaxacet' would not be understood in the majority of the world (outside North America). KZread, is this is true?

The Pot is an amazing track and Crack the Skye is an amazing album.

Would love a more premium version with a better case for travelling and no distorsion at high volume. Will definitly buy it.

Double tap makes so much sense, the amount of times my earphones bloody pause from my hair grazing them drives up crazy. Also a mic built in would make them good for hearing aid type use as well
The video editing is just slick! Kinda “Scott Pilgrim vs The World” vibes to it. Nice!
I love the rollercoaster the unboxing was
Looks like I'm buying nothing this year.
Another reason it doesn't have a single-tap gesture could be due to it having a volume swipe gesture. If you go to swipe up/down to change the volume it would potentially think you were just single-tapping it, causing the wrong input to register.
THenks for putting (1) in the title making me think i have 1 unread notification constantly :P
