@loke@functional.cafe @mattdm@hachyderm.io @zuul@pdx.social lmao wtf. it's amazing how much people overestimate how much bandwidth audio really takes up. There's a reason why CD-R's are 700MB. There's only so much going on with the data and it's all 0's and 1's. Music is actually fairly simple stuff. Where's the coocoo clock emoji? 🤪 I mean... there's a level where I have to congratulate the people who are selling these things. Good for them. Seriously. lol. The people buying this stuff are obviously doing well financially and are foolish and ignorant enough to deserve being ripped off.

@GothFvck@metalhead.club @mattdm@hachyderm.io @zuul@pdx.social Also, if you were to ask them how the cable supposedly changes the zeroes and ones that are transmitted over the cable, and change them in such a way that it's still a valid compressed stream, but does not alter any bits which are unrelated to audio, their answers gets even more bizarre. If you want to read some utterly insane ramblings, here are some examples: https://futureaudiophile.com/how-to-pick-the-right-digital-cable-for-your-audiophile-system/ https://tmraudio.com/blog/guide-to-understanding-audio-cables-myths-materials-choosing-the-right-ones/ Also, the most out there of the companies providing products for this market is this one: https://furutech.com/ Oh my flying spaghetti monster are these products bizarre. How about a product to remove static from discs Or a demagnetiser for various things like power cords To be honest, I'm not sure what the claim even is here, but it appears that it's meant to remove static using negative ions? WTF? Anyway, it's this product Apparently, if you use this panel instead of the regular plastic frame around your wall outlet, sound will be better? It's funny, these days, many of these companies flood you with ai generated slop, but these pages appear to be written by actual humans. I guess you still need humans to get the crazy talk to the exact right level.
