When the battery in those Apple headphones won't hold a charge anymore, Apple's policy on old hardware, proprietary components and unauthorised repairs may have kicked in. Since you can't connect them with a cable - no battery, no sound.

That’s a good point actually. I’ll definitely give them a miss then.

I’d suggest grabbing a pair of these (last week they were £99) and a VModa Boom Pro (mic) for £30. 
Philips Fidelio X2HR/00 Over-Ear Headphones, High-Resolution https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N5VHLUG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_MKRTC5RJPNRM8Q008PMC

 

I have these and the new Xbox headset and it really doesn’t come close to the sound quality of Philips Fidelios. 

The Xbox headset is going back to Amazon this week. 


I have the original X2 headphones and that mic, I leant them to a mate this week as his PS4 headset won’t work on his series s - I had to test them on the pad to make sure they worked and my word they sound amazing, way better than my wireless 7x setup!

Imagine thinking anyone cares enough for you to announce your upcoming announcement about leaving a company. 

To be fair saying "I'm open to freelance work" is something that lots of people do on twitter.  He got sort of lucky in that a lot of people who wanted it to be a bigger announcement shared it. 

 

It's not just fully engaged Xbox fans who jumped aboard either, I saw people think it might be about a PS5 update for Death Stranding and Geoff Keighly acknowledged the tweet too. 

 

Saying "you guys are idiots if you thought it would be anything else" was uncool of him though, he knew what was happening and let it roll on. He could have phrased that in a nicer way.

Not his best moment I guess.  But I understand what he means.
Now that I got the Series S and back into console gaming... I'm listening some podcasts and... Oh dear I forgot the console gaming metagame with  all the platform wars rumours and drama.

A friend of mine has been looking for a series S for a while now. He messaged me today to let me know he had finally received one. Then immediately asked me how to transfer his old disc based games on to it :doh:

I know some people have picked up Skyrim since FPS Boost was enabled, so I'm curious if anyone's encountered the same issue that I have. Generally the game runs very well but several times I've had camera movement become horrendously juddery, almost like the input is being captured at a different rate than the actual frame output. I believe the framerate itself remains fine, but the judder is extremely noticeable if you're circle-strafing by moving the left and right sticks in opposite directions.

 

I think the issue might be related to starting a session from Quick Resume, but I haven't been documenting exactly when it kicks in. Quitting the game and booting it fresh fixes things, but I'm wondering if anyone had noticed something similar.

Better point him in the direction of the Xbox store. :lol:

Better yet, help him get Game Pass sorted and watch him instantly forget all his granpa discs

I've tried and tried to convince him to get gamepass and he just won't budge. He said he just wants to buy AAA games and said he isn't interested in the "cheaper games" (read: indie etc) on gamepass. He mainly plays on the PS4 though so he isn't exactly intelligent :)

Yep, I had one particular instance of this (which was before the FPS boost but when I was using the 60FPS mod). It seemed to get worse and worse as I played, with the camera getting more juddery. Qutting the game from the dash seemed to fix it for me as well.

Ah, good to know it isn't some kind of issue with FPS Boost. Skyrim itself being technically rough isn't exactly a revelation, so I'm guessing it's just some weird cumulative RAM issue that wasn't so obvious when the game was 30fps.

 

As Elder Scrolls VI must be years away my vain hope is that they might consult with Arkane on... well, the feel of pretty much every mechanic. Maybe Microsoft could spring for a few more voice actors, too.

Do you both have VRR on at all?

I also had this issue, then turned off VRR and that fixed it.

I have two monitors, both freesync. With my old one (4K/60hz) I get VRR. But with the newer one (1440p/144hz) I don't. 

I don't know why and what/if there's anything I can do.

 

If I change the settings to manual HDMI I can strangely change the refresh to 120 but then the resolution will go to 1080p butstill, no VRR choice.

 

I am not really interested in the 120hz because I'm realistic and  it is a Series S but I think VRR could help a lot

Worth noting, on Xbox the 120hz toggle in the settings is a global setting. The Xbox will always output 120hz even if the frame-rate is lower. 

This basically halves the latency on the TV/Monitor.

Isn't it that the dashboard setting means "up to, depending on software" rather than "always"?
