I just want him to practice what he preaches. He calls us liars and demands proof. Turn that around on him after he makes a claim and suddenly he folds in on himself.

That's how you get blocked by him

Go back a few posts and it appears you're proud of doxxing yourself.

Do you understand what the term doxxing means?
doxxing - search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the internet, typically with malicious intent.

"doxxing yourself" is a riduclous phrase, given what "doxxing" means.

Wait does Rob think computers can't cost that much? Hell my little prebuilt that I am on right now from Microcenter was over $2,000 and that's before my upgrades.

They certainly can. But building a $3k computer in 2020 to design a box via spreadhseets?

I did overpay for my computer because I had to buy every single component during peak Covid parts shortages and I had never built one before. I didn't lie about anything. I had to get a nice GPU so I can do videos and stuff, video editing, but then I got really sick, and still am. I've always said the same thing

Weird. I bought a bike form a guy who started a while side hustle during COVID of assembling and selling PCs from parts, because assembled units were so hard to come by.
The profits bought eBikes for the whole family.
'Wish I had thought of it.

Quit acting like you even understand the questions you're asking when it comes to audio. What's wrong with square ports Rob? Lecture me about what's wrong with square ports, because I love learning things from retards.

What's wrong with square ports? Are you not familiar with the most basic concepts in fluid dynamics?
Hard corners = bad. Rounded corners = good.

Do you think in an electrohydrodynamic drive, they would push the seawater through a tube that abruptly ends and makes a 90 degree turn?
Is it just coincidence that exhaust headers on cars don't have sharp bends in them?
A link to just two (of probably hundreds, if not thousands) of papers you can read about sharp corners in fluid dynamics:http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/hkm2/PDFs/Moffatt_1964_JFM_18_1.pdf
