It lets you hear a computer scream.
I said WRONG answers
Fine, a Millennial detector.
It was a scream of pleasure
The most nostalgic chiptune generator you’ll ever hear.
OP specifically said wrong answers though.
It’s a telemarketing prevention device. Hook it up to your phone line, and the number of telemarketing calls would drop instantly.
They’d be interrupting the gifs loading constantly!
A CD/Blu-ray rewinder.
Not DVDs though, they were self rewinding
DVD+R are self rewinding, the DVD-R are not.
A picture
I’m not sure if I should upvote or downvote.
This is supposed to be wrong answers but…
It’s obviously wrong because it’s not a picture, it’s the post on lemmy
Or is it a charge on a magnetic medium somewhere?
It’s just all weird when you get down to the science.
Not really what you’re looking for, but it immediately made me think of an intercom device.
I recently stayed at a rental property that had this (actual photo):
I tried to get it working but none of the remote panels worked. They were all disconnected somehow (owner probably cut the wires to prevent shenanigans by guests cranking the volume then leaving it like that). The CD player worked (central panel only) but oddly, it couldn’t pick up any FM stations. It would tune to them (“scan” feature worked) but they only ever produced static. I suspect the capacitors used in the amplification circuit dried out or something got corroded after being in a “regular ocean salt spray” area (it was on a beach) for such a long time 🤷
That’s pretty cool! Friend of mine rented a house that had a working home intercom system, and the radio actually worked and played through the house. I’ve never seen one with a CD Player built in tho!
My home came with one of those. I ripped it out and replaced it with a touchscreen powered by a pi running custom html for a lcars interface for home security and music. I never got around to re wiring the intercom part. It’s on my list.
Yeah!!! Damned fine use of that wall space and a great demonstration of your hard-won mad skillz 👍
It’s made by US Robotics, so it must be a positronic brain.

GET OFF THE DAMN PHONE STACY, I WAS ALMOST DONE
This is one of the sickest synthesizers of the 1990s g-funk era. It produced the high-pitched portamento sound that provided iconic hooks for many of the tracks on Dr Dre’s 1993 album The Chronic.
Fuck Rob Schneider though.
Agreed
Really bad white noise machine.
Early 90s COVID-19 test.
Pregnancy test for a Cylon
That was the keyboard Belgian superband Technotronic used in the 1989 block buster hit Pump up the Jam.
