You are not paranoid!
They can and do disappear when stored on the cloud or encrypted with DRM! If you have the unencrypted files from an ebook stored on your own device and can copy those to other devices, then it is yours as much as a paper book.
Paper is still better.
Stabilized wood headphone with white and black resin in the cups. Fancy braided cable. On a carved wooden stand.

ZMF Caldera arrived. This might be the perfect headphone for me. Sounds glorious, looks glorious. So clean. So deep.
Does anyone talk headphones around here?

Late night Schiit

We shouldn't trust AI for headphone advice... but when your wife is tired of hearing you talk about headphones... and your friends are tired of hearing you talk about headphones... who are you supposed to talk to about headphones?
Earless sycophantic spicy autocomplete, I suppose.
It’s an artifact of the late 20th century

Wow, I wonder which one that is!
I own 4 of the headphones on this list, and none of them are amongst my favorites. 6XX and Porta Pro are excellent for the price!
The DT990 though... I don't understand how anyone could like that headphone! I keep it to remind myself how good the good ones are.
CVG does have super cheap direct flights to Seattle, it's great. If you book out far enough first class is pretty darn cheap too.

This whole album is nuts... but I can't get this song out of my head. It's a bop and then some.

I could tell you what my first headphone was (80's Walkman Headphones) and I'm still trying to figure out what my last headphone will be (ZMF Caldera maybe?)... but I think the most impactful headphone will always be that Bose QC25 that let me "turn off" the sounds in my open floorpan office. Ahhhh!

More tubes! The Folkvangr arrived. This is some hot Schiit. Sounds fantastic with the ZMF Atrium, and what a glorious glow at night.

Couldn't tell you if they sound better... but tubes sure look cooler.

The Hard Quartet - a fantastic 2LP set from Stephen Malkmus, Emmett Kelly, Matt Sweeney, and Jim White.
One of my favorite finds in 2024.
I’ve sold the same iMac Pro twice now on eBay and the auction winners just bail. There’s no recourse, can’t even give negative feedback. When did eBay become shit? Is Buy It Now the only reasonable option for a seller?

The Bandcamp California Wildfire Relief Fundraiser ends in 10 hours... here's the album I can't quit listening to:

I was introduced to Corey Madden through his work with Ty Segall on Freckle. But this album just plugs straight into my soul.
Excited to read/hear some impressions of these

Bought these and the R9… because of the insanely low prices. How bad could they be? Surely there is something redeeming about them… surely?
Sent them both back.
