Title has a typo, should be “liberated”. Edit: I noticed that the article's page title is also misspelled this way.

I assume it's intentional, playing on "libre" (as in libre software, not just gratis software)

As just the biggest problem with that idea, the typo doesn't exist on the page. It's in the HN title, and the page's HTML tag.

A cool project, when you want to use AirPods outside of Apples ecosystem. Sadly, you have to use a rooted android device with a small patch due to a bug in the Android Bluetooth implementation. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/371713238

That is such a typical bug report to a large company. A user who spent a lot of time debugging and finding the root cause of an issue, and a few faceless peons at the large company spending a few minutes on it, realizing it’s not a priority, and abandoning it.
