I get that this thing has electronics in it to allow ultrasonic vibration, but WHY does that need firmware updates? Oh look my knife got an update, now it vibrates 5.2% faster!

You guys are too young. Back in the early 80s computer didn’t make any noise. A C64 was quiet as a mouse, so was an Amiga 500. The only noise it made was the ticking of the disk drive. (Usually no HDD in those and no fans)

I have both at home right now, and I am always wishing my gaming rig next to them would be that quiet, and not sound like a hoover going into overdrive.

Ah, nostalgia. Now, where are my rose tinted glasses?

p.s. Oh yeah I forgot about the monitor whine, but hey that’s because I have a permanent tinnitus that sounds exactly the same and usually tune it out… wonder where I got it from?
