Are these genuinely being hand rolled in an enterprise environment? Unless it’s completely impossible to automate then I can’t be sympathetic to companies that are just doing it wrong.

Who is buying SSL certs for $300? Is this an enterprise thing? I’m using free certs on AWS. LetsEncrypt is also fine for self-hosting.

I have no issue with the stealth part given that it can only recognise audio which is already publicly available. If you don’t want people to know what you’re listening to, just don’t play it loudly in public.

This project also wouldn’t be possible if people were aware of it (it would just be gamed and certainly removed).

My AirPod Pros have also worked perfectly on my Linux PCs - just as solid as connecting to an Apple device.

Exactly this. When you procure custom hardware, you’re paying (a lot) for the vendor to ensure that each unit meets the specifications you provide. If you validate off the shelf hardware like this, there is no guarantee that another batch of the same sku will also meet your requirements. Imagine training on these controllers then a certain batch of them has wildly different sensitivity.

Thanks for the correction. I was definitely out of date, what I said was only true during the USB 3 era.

That’s a ThunderBolt port :)

And the alternative is?

You can only install 3 self-signed apps at a time, and they expire after 7 days. It’s meant to make it difficult for anything other than development purposes.

Terri, when I want your advice, I’ll give you the special signal. Which is me being sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
