As an owner of one of these pair of headphones, I'm trying to understand what this brings to my life? It's not clear why this app is specifically useful for sony headphones? The price seems quite high from what I can see it offers?

I own the WF-1000XM3 (earbuds). All these headphones and earbuds have a mobile app to control the advanced features. I used to use them with my Mac for work and it was always super-annoying to accidentally tap ANC off or tap "play" while taking them off or putting them on, but during call you couldn't fix it because it'd be in "call mode" and disable ANC/playback/... control. I guess headphones are less annoying because they have a bigger pad to tap, so less chance to misclick, but the earbuds were a constant annoyance.
Give it some time - its good that we have such alternatives, because they'll still be there the day Sony decides not to support your particular OS incantation.
What do you mean? It's brand new shiny vibecoded macos copy/clone of an open source project[0][1], and it has 'Open' in the name despite being a completely closed copy of an open source project... and it's at the top of hacker news completely naturally from this first time poster...
I think AI images can enhance a blog article as long as the reader is fully aware and trusting that it's just the auxiliary material to the blog has been generated, not the main body of value.
It's the only domain I haven't let expire. It's been many things but now it's a digital garden! Lots of loose threads and random thoughts, all half baked haha.
A little cool tech detail, I didn't want a backend or to store the information of people's reports anywhere. To get around the requirement, I made the form deterministic and populated on load from a data stream of bits (form is made from booleans or bitfields) from a decoded base-64 query parameter. A cool side-effect of this approach is I can update the query parameter in the URL in real-time as you fill out the form so if you reload it remembers your form without any local storage or cookie use!
They're used quite frequently in the UK in bars/pubs where there are several people serving drinks and (I assume) there's some metric tracking by management on till use.
They're used in various hackerspaces around the world for membership administrivia .. Metalab in Vienna, for example, uses them as a door lock mechanism ..
Woah! The world really works in mysterious ways. I've found myself thinking in this space a lot recently. I've been working on a pager that takes the notifications from my phone and relays only the ones I want to see. I use LTE-M/NB-IOT to get connectivity anywhere and the device works and I'm looking to find a way to get a pcd/case made..
Your project seems really cool and allows you to bring your own hardware. Out of curiosity, have you blocked all notifications on your phone? Would this be run on your computer? Would you ever move in the direction of a physical device?
Heh, that is exactly why I kept UDP-7777 passive. It listens on 0.0.0.0 but sends zero telemetry and requires no "online" status packet. Unless you hit ACK (which sends a packet back), you are a ghost.
Just took another look at your work, and your LTE-M project looks incredible. The e-ink aesthetic is exactly right for this. I've fantasized about building some apps for e-ink displays (wanted to drop BrowserBox in a remarkable tablet, etc), but haven't yet. Here I stuck to desktop/software for v1 to solve the immediate 'screen fatigue' issue, but I'd love to see a world where physical tokens like yours replace the smartphone notification center.
Yes, I block all the notifications on the phone. I leave badges for some apps and check when I want, or just periodically check when it's in my rhythm. (A few people have exceptions). It runs on computer now, but the next step is I want to test if mobile could be achieved without a server (I'm okay with a Tailscale/ZT requirement or such, for now). Aside from that I would love physical infra. If it could work such that it piggy-backed off existing infra, at first, might be good approach. Someone should do this. I don't know if it's us, but it should be created.
If anyone would like to discuss these possibilities, please reach out at [email protected]
Yes! I really want a physical device for things like this. It's cool we are both thinking about it: independent invention. That is a sick website. Love the design!
Feels very similar to Digital Gardens - something I've been doing to hit all the same points! (Shameless plug to mine as an example https://launchbowl.com)
This product does provide a bit more of a structured approach without any of the self-hosting/coding difficulty which I think would have a wider market appeal.
Ha! Very cool! I did not know about the community/idea of Digital Gardens! From my quick glance, it seems close to a lot of my thoughts.
I like what you have done with Launchbowl! The part about linking multiple posts together is something I swear by for personal writing & note-taking on Anytype. Graph is a very efficient way to process a lot of connected information!
Thank you! Yes, Jottings was built for anyone, even with no tech experience, to set up and have a site where they may post their thoughts to the world.
This is the first time I've read this but have personal experience similar. A few of my single page, gone nowhere, projects are seeing ~2k views a month. They're seeing zero traffic through google in that same period so no idea where it's coming from?
