  Second, it sucks that the wrist band thing is being tied with bullshit ai glasses. I would love to see that as a regular input device for PCs and smartphones.

  Seconded, have long considered sub-critical neuron monitoring a really good in to ‘thought control’ without the privacy complications. No thanks neuorolink, stay out of my head (at least for many years until the implications and side effects shake out, fMRI also spooks me) but I’m fine with wrists and perhaps voicebox (ala firefox ), you know, voluntary stuff.

  I like my qudelix-5k, does flawless 96Khz/32bit LDAC to my Pixel7 (not that I use media that high, but it works well). Balanced output, onboard equalizer, usb DAC as well., been solid for 2 years+, goes great with IEMs. It’s a bit pricey and likely to be a pain when I have to go in to replace the battery, but I find myself charging ~ weekly, so Li-ion is good for ~ 1000 charges, perhaps 500 before significant degradation, which is 10 yrs or so. Worth it for my use case.

  You seem to be assuming that the volume is immediately replaced by the external atmosphere, which I doubt is valid, more likely that the volume of the person would decrease, at least temporarily. The weight of 1 Liter (assuming a massive fart) of air is 1.275g according to wolfram, so, using your density numbers above, 1.275 * 1.06/1.2 = 1.126g lighter. Measurable with a really good scale, if the 90ml fart volume is realistic (has to be more realistic I guess), that's ~.1g,

  Think of yourself as a hot air balloon with a very tiny chamber, and when you release a 90 milliliter fart, you lose a little buoyancy and sink a little. You get heavier when you fart.

  No, you get denser, but not heavier.
