Interesting Audio Recorder

1•Haeuserschlucht•4h ago
So there's this really unique product I wanted to draw your attention to. I'm not really sure if it's a prank, if it's real. So it looks like somebody went along and bought the cheapest parts he could buy in 1960, assembled them, drilled a little and is now selling it for 370. It's an audio recorder, it says it has 365 days of battery and what is especially fascinating is it records in WAV, it doesn't have mp3 it doesn't have m4a and it says it's for iPhone iPad Android PC Mac Windows so they add Windows to PC. And it has this old-fashioned button on top and two things in the middle it could also be an explosive device the way it looks like. And then they have pictures With AI and They are putting this extremely ugly device that could as I said also be an explosive device or a remote control for an explosive device of TV series in the 70s to current devices and they say "Our unique sales proposition is that it's voice activated, nobody else has that and look at our awesome device that records in WAV and it's still available"

I Mean they're saying only three are left And it's a proud American product.
