Kind of feel like it'll be hard to replicate the volume accurately, even when assuming headphones. The maximum output would depend both on the phone itself and the headphones. Wonder how specific it would have to be, if you'll get the same results with different volumes.
Unless you live in the USA, in which case that sound meter now costs X+$100 if it gets here before June, x+$200 if it gets here in june or later lol.
But that’s fine, you can get an American made one for about ….hmm. Can’t seem to find one actually made in the USA that doesn’t say “contact us for a quote” or something like that.
I’m all for repatriating manufacturing, and a good plan might very well involve tariffs rolled in progressively over several years, giving businesses a predictable time table to shift supply chains and invest in manufacturing capacity to fill those gaps.
But all that has happened is the price of American innovation just went through the roof for small companies and startups, while big businesses will barely be affected because the cost of gadgets and parts is negligible as a fraction of their R&D budget. For many startups it’s nearly 100 percent.
Chaos is not good for business and multiplies risks at their root, which gets magnified by orders of magnitude in financial terms when looking at investment and finance.
100:1 bets with 1000:1 odds just becomes 100:1 bets with 100:1 odds, a bet no longer worth taking.
