| Sep 10, 2015 at 14:02 | comment | added | Alex | @enderland Oh well, you got a good point there. Surely, that would be a too broad scope. Though I'd say the soundboards should also be on-topic, because you can't really ask hardware questions on Music: Practice & Theory but questions about camera recommendations seem to be accepted on Photography. So if it's too broad we''l get into a conflict with other SE-sites. But let's here some other opinions. | |
| Sep 10, 2015 at 13:52 | comment | added | enderland | how about audio equipment for audio mastering? or soundboards? or cameras? or smartphones? None of that seems to fall into that category either. And if it's "anything that can connect to a computer" I'd be concerned that it'd expand the site scope to be huge. What about things like fridges/stoves/etc that now can be connected through wifi - are these on topic too? | |
| Sep 10, 2015 at 13:43 | comment | added | Alex | @enderland I tried to phrase generally. Headphones are usually (or can be) used with a computer or smart phone, so I'd suppose they count as peripherals -> on-topic. Audio equipment (like microphones) are connected with a computing device. Even if you're really old-school and got a piece of hardware for every effect (instead of a DAW) I'd say those components also count as computing device. Maybe, with the possible Furniture site I mentioned, a computer desk (with cableguides, possibility to attach tower) may fall between the cracks. | |
| Sep 10, 2015 at 13:34 | comment | added | enderland | My main concern with the desk is that it is primarily a computer desk and has automated components (ideally, though it might be possible for a non-mechanized desk). Your answer though also makes headphones/audio equipment off topic as it isn't connected directly with computers (though it might have computer components inside them? I guess?). | |
