Ok. My brain is stuttering now. Is this supposed to go over your computer cpu or a dap cpu?

Hey, it’s 4D, so it might be around for a while.

 

[JSmith]

That's satire...right?

I hope not, I want one asap... nah, not really.

The sunglasses... sorry wtf?

Anybody else flash on "Smoke on the Water" when you first saw this?

Maybe it sounds better when you listen to it yesterday.

high quality photo upload

Does that count as a joke too?
I saw this "high-end" USB audio cable on Ebay.
€ 370, - USB - Audio - Cable
But thought I would do without the ugly mesh tube and have ordered this.
€ 8,06 LINDY Cromo Line USB Cable
The similarity is of course purely coincidental ...

Smoke on the Wafer, as someone replied on Twitter.

Completely passé. It's 2021. The Longitudinal Axial Polarizer is where it's at, man.

I would just like to take this opportunity that it's not just verbing that weirds language*. Time travel weirds language, as well.
To wit:

Lister: Hey, it hasn't happened, has it? It has 'will have going to have happened' happened, but it hasn't actually 'happened' happened yet, actually. Rimmer: Poppycock! It will be happened; it shall be going to be happening; it will be was an event that could will have been taken place in the future. Simple as that. Your bucket's been kicked, baby.

Just what is there to be misunderstood??? Modifying the signal is called distortion by any definition I can find.

i just had an interesting idea....

would anyone be interested in buying moonshine dipped q-tips (distilled strictly at fool moon)?
the patent's already pending, so don't try to steal it.....

Oh, there are lots of people who'll believe it. I used to be one of them. "Audio" thrives on insecurity.

If you want "better focused electrons" (Yes really!) in your power supply, look no further than this bargain product: $2,699.00

"Through having a more precise concentration of electrons the audio signal becomes clearer and cleaner. "
https://www.thecableco.com/mc-1-professional-helix-power-conditioner.html

Now if someone can explain to me what a "more precise" concentration of electrons means I'll be really impressed. Since precise means accurate, I wonder what a more accurate concentration of electrons in a power supply really looks like.

I was going to buy one and send it to Amir so he could break it open and see what you get. Then I saw the price. $1600.00 I must get into the audiophoolery market and sell something, anything!

Serious security in a building vs TV and Movie security has so much humor built in. John Goodman nails it on security. To most people "high security" in their home is a dead bolt on the door on top of the regular locking door handle. Hollywood and Youtubers never ask a professional about security. The first issue is always the cost, serious security costs a lot. DIY security which is a gun and a light are cheaper and easier for most people.
