Whacky AF! Not sure about the utility but wow that’s cool!

According to financial media, market-moving memes (based on a Mr. Robot Easter egg)[1]. (I'm personally not convinced that Twitter shitposts are enough to momentarily blast a stock price 800% week-to-week, but who's to say?)

didn't read because xitter.

still, why has AFX not blasted the stock market with Windowlicker?

Gotta buy some AFX...

f'.... utility is the bane of existence...

i can now embed an obfuscated <script> in a barely-discernible QR code that exists solely on the spectroscopic output of an arbitrary noise

the stegacoustic opportunities also have practical phylactologic applications, outside of inane google easteregg hunts to find tail-end dwellers

No, we've been able to do that since 1995, when the <script> tag was first invented. (Shortly after 1994, when we got the QR code.) But a QR code would definitely be audible as a series of quiet beeps, unless you exploited auditory masking.
