The Bluetooth chipset installed in popular models from major manufacturers is vulnerable. Hackers could use it to initiate calls and eavesdrop on devices.

Elastic would’ve been amazing (among other things, it has all songs on the album laid on top of another, playing simultaneously)

This one is great for destroying speakers: warning super loud (turn down your volume before playing) https://m.soundcloud.com/osium-1/official-paul-walker-tribute-fast-and-furious-7

Good Lord! Thank you for the warning! On lowest audible phone volume it blew me away lol

What is that and why does it exist??

The compressor and normalize sound effect applied over and over again. From the montageparody era.

I occasionally visit it to find my bluetooth earbuds.

My old FM BT transmitter that let me connect to my car had a surprising range, bout about a 100ft in every direction which as I understand it they aren't supposed to be that strong. (Scosche brand from Best Buy)

Used to tune it to the popular country station and jam everyone around me from listening to that station, which made me happy. Couple times when there was a particularly loud or obnoxious driver...I definately didn't blast porn hub with my stereo off in my car..

Tangent.

One of my last concerts I went to was Meshuggah

Had a great time.
