I would argue both points.

First, most phones have at least 20GB, which is a LOT of music storage if you’re using 320vbr compression, and if you’re an audiophile who absolutely positively must have flac for everything, you’re already going to be familiar enough with storage to know what size microSD card to get. Add in a synced dropbox/gdrive/nextcloud/whatever folder, and you don’t even have to manually plug it in to transfer files anymore, so space is kind if irrelevant.

Second, most people who are mobile are going to be listening with bluetooth headphones, and those who aren’t can still use a USB-C to jack adapter, which are pretty inexpensive and ubiquitous now, have passthrough charging solved, etc. For the audiophiles, there are very good USB-C DACs out now.

I guess I’m just confused about where this device fits into my life. If I’m mobile, it’s extra stuff to carry that duplicates functions I already have on me. If I’m home, I have fixed audio equipment that is way more versatile.

What’s the benefit of this device when you can just put your audio files directly on your phone or laptop already?

I don’t like this. Hydraulics, even when vacuum boosted, give great instant analog pedal feedback, are simple, reliable, and very safe with modern ABS systems. Losing that feedback is just one more forced disconnection from the road surface to the driver.

What qualifies as “damaging noise”? Asking because I have a neighbor who has the loudest damn leaf blower of all time.

Keep the month names the same but name the 13th “Smarch”.

Come to think of it, we do say “tuna fish sandwich”, but we also say “tuna salad sandwich”.

I was holding out for the Steam Engine.

When she says she wants a hot dog, she’s not talking about the kind you have to cook :-D
