The defense against this is regular backups.

If it's anything like what is happening in Baltimore, much of the blame lies on inept and corrupt IT contracting leading to unpatched systems and inadequately protected infrastructure. 1-click hijacking...piece of cake.

See today's xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2166/

And don't forget to read the mouseover text, which contains the actual message.

What's going on with it? I haven't noticed but haven't been on the PC all that much either the last few days

They need to fix the search horsecrap first. Can't believe it still can't find anything except candy crush.

My computer cannot copy files to an SD card or anything...they disappear. one 'fix' was stopping & restarting explorer.exe. That and a few other things just didn't work.

There was a custom tag there for a while. Doesn't bother me at all, just curious like my avatar.

It's Alex Rosson, who left Audeze to Sankar Thiagusamadram (or however you spell his last name). They founded Audeze together. The Rosson First Edition looks mildly interesting, but I've become less and less enamored by planar magnetics as I gain more experience. Take my opinion with a pound of salt though since I jumped on the ZMF hype train.

Very intriguing to me. Just way out of my price range

I get you @ChaChaRealSmooth since I've got a ticket to ride too (the ZMF hype-train that is). I'm always curious what's out there though & have liked some of/parts of the Audeze sound. Just surprised I haven't heard more from anyone. I guess no ears on them yet.

Equivalent of 270dB.

And well past the levels needed to flat out kill someone to boot. Dear Yeshua.

I only tried one IEM, the Aria that was a bit odd (wonky mids), but I guess not bad for a 1st go. He seems to excel at woodworking and the cables look intriguing.

He's got more than a few vids up with different builds too. I'm no DIY-er, but they are intriguing.

Oh man. Those Zebrawoods look nice. Same with the Walnut.

Now you gotta get an HD800SDR, beautiful synergy

That would likely be awesome...I am loving my ZMFs on it though...and the modded 650 is off the charts too.

Congrats Jinxy! You are now a member of the prestigious blue club.

Any highlights from the meet?

The people of course...this is such a solitary hobby, I always find it refreshing to chat in person with like minded individuals. As far as gear, @thegunner100 's ZDT , @Overkill Red 's Pendant and (I believe it was @GanGreinke 's) Liquid Platinum were eye openers for me...tubes galore.

Makes sense. With open headphones, it blends seamlessly...kinda blew my mind

I need to get HD800s in my house again, and a not-bad sub, haha.

It's a little difficult to integrate into a system given the limited I/O, but I really enjoyed using my Subpac S2 with IEMs and headphones. Feels "faster" than a normal sub and has better phase coherence with headphones given direct-coupling to the body.

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...
