Marv nuked an ad provider after we kept getting audio ads on mobile

I get random audio from one of the ads on Chrome via PC. Doesn't happen on mobile (iOS) for me. It only plays for a second and then comes back maybe 5-10s later over and over.

Now that I'm trying to get the problem to happen, it won't. Murphy's Law of Tech Support.

It was more or less scareware similar to this

More of an annoyance than anything else, have to reboot the computer & run a virus scan to be sure.

It happens sporadically, but usually SBAF just locks up & I have to either reboot or at least close the browser & reopen.
Thx for the responses.

Wonder if he will say he got it at accommodation pricing and selling it at what he paid for.

Or he might of just got the unit for free and selling it is little unethical.

I asked since it's 2 different names, and he say it's a 'Family Account'

When caught, deny deny deny. I should run for office, I got the steps down.

I remember my time at Questyle, a QP1R was sent to one of the bigger headphone reviewer sites. The guy was sent the unit with the assumption that after he reviewed it he would send it back. Promised for over a year the review was coming. Then admitted he sold the dap. Great experience.

Haha. No. I just shoehorned nonsense Simpsons words into an audiophile context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcxsgZxqnEg

Well whatever you did, it worked. Sounds just like him.

There is nothing cromulent about Rafe. Crapulent, on the other hand...

Interesting

Some fiber in your diet does wonders for the GI tract I hear. Also, as a fan of Lady Gaga (yes really) I've been meaning to see this anyway, glad to hear it's fun!

I hear it's good!

I’ve been wanted to see this since I saw the first preview, glad to hear it was good

I AM Crookmachine, It's my one-man-band. I'm just mixing my next track. Thanks!

We do a good amount of good natured teasing in our house, but I was baffled at 1st. I mean anything with "trump' must be some kinda insult,but I didn't get it. Then it hit me. Good thing I wasn't drinking anything or I would've done a spit take myself.

Is your daughter is named Ivanka (or Tiffany, I guess)?

No, Cheyanna actually. She was just trying to rile her up.
(Yes she was successful.)

Did you bring a giant hammer like Mario?

A little unwieldy for a hike, don't you think?
I considered a cart, but that kinda defeats the point of a hike. So I ran. Faster than I thought I could.

Thanks, that was funny.

That's Michael's dad....the other Joe isn't stepping out yet....

Good riddence

I read that. Later on he says how technologists have to grapple with these questions and not philosophers because it's out of their reach, but I disagree. Deciding whether hitting a grandparent or child is a better choice is exactly the sort of ethical value problem that philosophy explores, otherwise known as the 'trolley problem'.

Machines are better equipped to decide too. No person would actually be able to decide within a split second which person to hit, they just hit whoever and deal with the aftermath. Machines however can and there's no reason why this can't be programmed in the system.

Interesting point. He's saying that it's basically not possible with current tech, since everything is based on mathematical calculations and narrow parameters, but if they could overcome that hurdle, I agree.

After leaving Atlanta for CA, and being near a few , I don't miss tornadoes one bit.

Ugh. I revisit multidirver iems when the price settles to what it should be: 50..200 buck range.

Not the sort of thing I'd get anyway (I just don't enjoy having things in my ears long term) but that price is just ... no.

I'd never buy them personally. I've dealt with Lawrence before & the tour popped up so I thought I'd give it a try. Very good IEM All but unobtainable price.

"both subjectivists and objectivists are wrong on lots of things, at least in my opinion. Both camps have members that get way, way, way too into their dogma, both camps have advocates that really need to chill out and have a beer"

Brent said just about the same thing in so many words...I'm fairly certain there's right & wrong on both sides.

That home theatre link got me searching for DIY A/B switches, which got me to DIYAudio, which got me into a long thread there about how someone doesn't believe in relativity and the speed of light being a constant. Disturbingly, couldn't tell if it was joking or serious.

The MB and DS are different sides of the same coin. If you’re really in love with what you have, I’d ask around to borrow a MB version for comparison before pulling the trigger on an upgrade.

I haven't heard the D/S version, but the Gungnir Multibit is a worthy upgrade...enjoy!

Agree with @Vansen. The MB does change the sound. Try to get a listen to the MB first.

I have a possible Gungnir D/S trade, which is the known quantity, but it might fall through. I think the Vinshine has a Soekris DAC in it? Not much info round the web (I'm not the best at Google Fu)

Disregard, I've been talked off the ledge
(Many thanks Torq)
