    This seems to be a situation where the stated problem (protect children) is different to the actual problem (surveillance). Your proposal doesn't solve the actual problem.

    Thanks a lot for investigating this further. I'll write a cleaner blog post to alert other potential victims. From the package downloads they're hacking around 200 people per week,…

    Ask HN: Are they trying to hack me?

    I'm in the middle of an interaction that has raised a few red flags, and at this point I'm confident this is part of hacking attempt. But I thought asking here could give me a bett…

    Show HN: Recadio – The best way to handle audio devices on macOS

    I was so annoyed with the bluetooth auto-switch in macOS causing awful audio quality, that I decided to make an app to fix it. I've been improving it with feedback from other users…

    Some time ago I was looking for a similar solution –offline first and easy sync– and was happy to find https://jazz.tools/ . There are many things in common between these two proje…

    How old was alphabet in 2024? And anthropic? How much was google revenue in 2003? It was 1.5 billions (2.6 in today's USD) Not saying the price is justified, but the comparison is …

    We're definitely closer to the one-person billion dollar company than bug free vibe coded software.

    I think the 81% group would also include unocuppied houses, right?

    It's a shame that modern browsers don't optimize SVG to be processed in the GPU. It has plenty of potential, not only feTurbulence, but many other effects as well. And being able t…

    My wife recently got her O1 visa approved and I'll be getting an O3 as dependent. I currently have an app that I'm actively developing that generates $50-$100 per month. I might be…

    > Gumroad is infamous for underpaying and using cheap labor where possible. What? Where do you get this from? It's quite the opposite.

    So the only argument is that the token window is a disadvantage for languages that use more tokens for an equivalent program. But token windows are only getting bigger, and there's…

    Was going to mention this site. One nice thing it has that could be useful for this app is to have the ability to save a preset and load it in the future. I found it quite useful i…

    From my research to write the post, it looks like: - the HFP standard was developed mainly for taking calls in a car. It seems like taking calls is still the main use case up to th…

    I'm always surprised with the very low standard for "nice" people have, so I'll vote for that one, even if both possibilities are correct

    I have the pixel buds A-series, and using my pixel 7a I can feel the quality going down when on a call. It might be just the latest buds, or my pixel 7a not supporting the codec, o…

    I actually didn't know about Opus, but having read a bit about it, how aren't we using that codec for all things audio? It's open source, has good platform support, quality seems t…

    I tried this as well and didn't work for me. Maybe it works for other people? When I connect my headphones and switch to the microphone, the same crappy sound comes up. I had tried…

    I'm using mSBC, but the quality difference compared with AAC when not using the microphone is wild.

    Nice! I didn't know about this. I'll update the post with ToothFairy. Thanks for sharing :)

    Ouch. I'm sorry about this. I've had users on Sonoma report this. It seems they made it harder to make Gatekeeper happy. I'll reach out to your email directly to figure out how to …

    This made me think about the mic on my $300+ headphones. It's probably even a good mic. However, because they will only be used via bluetooth, it will most definitely be used under…

    Comment #38615407

    Yep that's another one that has improved significantly over the years. I charge my headphones once per month, maybe twice. I'd gladly charge them once per week if that means I get …

    This is the exact use case I have, and the frustration of not being able to select what I want made me create the app. I'm really surprised this functionality doesn't come with the…
