There is a plenty of information about this on the Oculus subreddit. TLDR: Use active extension leads to ensure it will work: - https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/wiki/extension_cables I just use a passive 1.5m (~4.5ft) lead but haven't tried any active cables with my sensors yet.

I have neither (I do have a Rift however) so you should probably refer to these posts: - https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/57eh5p/psvr_vs_vive_extended_impressions_from_owner_of/ - https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/82av0d/hows_the_experience_compared_to_psvr/ Although the experience...

Just to be on the safe side, try using Adware Cleaner as well. It usually detects/removes adware/hijacks that Malwarebytes can miss: - https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ If that doesn't find anything, there is probably no issues. Maybe try re-installing Chrome?

Although I haven't had much experience with Sony's high end music headphones (except in-store demo's, have no idea what model they were though), stay away from the Arctis line. I've tried a Arctis 3 (they're all the same except for the audio dongle), it was very uncomfortable and because they...

I haven't heard of them before but I would be wary of buying cheap tech from China. Most reviews are faked (especially on Gearbest) so it's hard to get an idea of how good they really are. Considering they are advertising it having FM Radio, SD card slot and bluetooth, I wouldn't be expecting...

Maybe see if you can find a computer store near you? Most stock universal charges and pretty sure they must allow you to return them if it doesn't work. Did you get yours off of Amazon?

Try using AdwCleaner: - https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ That's my go-to for browser malware/adware

Sounds like you might have a semi-legit program on your PC doing this. I guess maybe try uninstalling programs that look suspicious or you don't need? Sometimes they can be driver programs or tune-up utilities. Also, check the browser shortcuts you are clicking to ensure they are opening the...

Although I'm sure each headset has it's own benefits, cut out the Arctis 5 (and any Steelseries Arctis headset). They are horribly designed and VERY uncomfortable. The sound of the Arctis 3 (same drivers as 5 but no dongle) is also marginally worse than the HyperX Cloud Core (which is the same...

AVG is a legitimate anti-virus. The worst "adware" you get with it is Chrome and the "Ask Toolbar", neither of which have the popups you are showing. It does occasionally have small popups advertising their paid products but they are not much of an issue. My recommendation is to run...

I had a Gameboy Advance years ago so don't quote me, but I agree with online sources of about 8hrs or so. I would strongly advise on not getting one though since the screen is really hard to use. The lack of a backlight is infuriating and even in direct sunlight, you barely see much of the...

I would avoid getting a laptop with 8GB. As you said, there is a premium on it and usually it's cheaper to install your own RAM later on (if she needs it, but probably not). I would try to get an i5 since it'll have the biggest effect on day-to-day usability but I'm sure a newish i3 would be fine.

Have you considered just buying a replacement mic off of Ebay? Here's one I found: - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OEM-Kingston-KHX-H3CLW-KHX-HSCP-RD-HyperX-Cloud-Headsets-Gaming-Headphone-Mic-/142354307758?epid=0&hash=item2124fa5aae:g:kiUAAOSwSypZADI- It may or may not be genuine but it should...

Was the data/files stored on an SSD or a USB? If so, it might not be recoverable since it's generally gone. If it is a HDD, you can use a program such as Recuva which will allow you to view files that are deleted. Keep in mind that this only works if the physical location of the drive has not...

What OS are you running? If it is Windows 10, I've had a similar issue with my Dell Inspiron 14. For me, my OS had updated to the anniversary update as well as updating my wireless drivers which caused them to no longer work. I rolled my PC back to a previous date (in this case it was a matter...
