Shawn is broadcasting from a basement while the family celebrates the holidays, we will refer to that as a Dungeon! Shawn is wearing the Wyze Gaming Headphones and tells us about some of the good points versus what he wishes the Wyze headsets would have like his Steel Series headset which centers around dual audio. Andy wonders with so many options, Logi, SteelSeries, Hyper X, where is the original leader in Sound – Creative Labs. There are options for the SoundBlaster lines, and they still create some fine products.

Shawn and Andy talk about some steps to take when you believe your system may have been compromised and how some users aren’t sure how to shut off the computer and the steps after it has been shut off. In a story in the news which had Apple 9 Series Watch and Ultra 2 not able to sell these in the US, Apple has pulled them from Online and In Store Apple purchase.
