Researcher Matthew Callaghan discovered AliExpress running hidden scripts that generate silent, inaudible sound waves through the WebAudio API to create a unique fingerprint of each visitor's browser. He noticed the tracking only because it interfered with his multipoint Bluetooth headphones, cutting off phone audio whenever the AliExpress tab was open. The scripts muted the sound with a zero gain setting so users would never notice, but the browser still processed and transmitted the audio data back to the site.

The Panasonic Q combined a GameCube with a DVD and CD player in one chassis, but the two functions operated as separate systems rather than a true integration—game audio stayed on standard analog output while home theater features like Dolby Digital and DTS applied only to movie playback. Users had to manually toggle between gaming and DVD modes with a hardware switch, and the console shipped with matching Panasonic-branded controller and remote. Today, original units sell for well over $1,000 due to their rarity and collector interest.
