Koenigsegg does almost everything and has a lot of unique features like all carbon wheels.

I don't understand why Apple would want to enter the automotive manufacturing business. It's so far-afield from computers, mobile screens, and accessories. TVs, home automation, VR glasses, smart home gym, and audio equipment seem much closer to the product mix than something random like a lawnmower, car, or business jet.

Unique, inconsequential details and themes immaterial to the plot line add texture and realism to a work. Otherwise, characters and scenes appear shallow, boring, and generic.

I can see this being used selectively to silence certain protest groups like the cops waiting around while white nationalists attack journalists.
And if the powers that be don't want on-scene live news coverage, they can just turn this on the reporters.

Interestingly, I have SCDS [0] in one ear which causes a similar effect by adding an echo of speech and awareness of inter-cranial sounds. And stuttering (silent block related to diaphragmatic incoordination, exacerbated by anxiety). You can train yourself to just talk over it, so it's not really a "STFU ray gun."
