Why isnt he a staff or something?

Gbatemp has its history in the Wiki section.....

Anyway, he was the original owner before handing the site to @[member='shaunj66'] and @[member='Costello']. He doesn't post much, and hasn't been on in a year or two IIRC.

Handing out such a gr8 site is really mind-boggling me.

It used to be a warez type site.
I read the entire wiki article. I know understand everything.

The world changes, the people on the world change, and most of all their interests change.
We see it all the time.
There's a reason why we have so many Former Staff listed.
Eventually everyone gets tired of the same places with the same faces.
They realize when it's time to move on to new things.
KiVan was no exception.

I wish I had gotten the chance to know him.

Hearing your opinions, he sounds like a personality worth experiencing.

There's no way for me to know that. I never met him.
I can only infer from the people he brought together and the foundation he created, here.

He was the father of Gbatemp! How can you know him???

Besides he still logs in to this site once in a while, it's not like he is dead or something.

EDIT:Albeit, a year since he logs in, how would we know he didn't log in as anonymous!

In case anyone was wondering, member number 2 was @[Member='Omero'] and number 3 was @[member='Alexander'] forming the holy trinity of GBAtemp founders. Ooooooh mystical. :ninja:

    I use AKG K7XX headphones for daily use, but Meze 99 Classics when I want to *enjoy* the music

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh boy Massdrop has $1100 IEMs. Want, but not at that price lmao. https://drop.com/buy/campfire-audio-andromeda-emerald-sea-iem
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Dbz said everyone has raging energy senses

  • cearp @ cearp:
    you mean generally, how does the concept work?
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Two good videos from ElectroBOOM that touch on the subject:
