Also **SAY NO** to unjust 'vaccine passports' or certificates, which are totally incompatible with a FREE society!!!
A friend of mine had a parrot who was able to record various sounds and replay them with a convincing fidelity. I don't think that parrot's ability to make audio recording were contrived by the human mind.
Nature has its ways and is capable of making analogue recordings of fleeting sounds.
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

Was it a digital parrot?
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Interesting to hear that. I was never able to determine whether it is possible to accurately detect higher resolution digital formats. Whenever me and my audio maniacs buddies try to do a bit of a blindfold listening in trying to nail which is 16 bit/44.1 kHz and which is 24 bit/96 kHz, it's always a coin toss. Heck, even trying to detect whether 360 mp3 is playing can be a huge challenge.
I'd be interested in meeting a person whose betting average on this challenge is close to 100%.

I like the opening line: "Even Steve Jobs listened to vinyl."
So now Steve Jobs is all of a sudden an authority on audio? Next -- we learn that Steve Jobs was a preeminent authority on breast feeding.
Please stop the insane madness of celebrating a hack that was Steve Jobs!
