If you're using them with Bluetooth, you're not only sounding worse than you could but also the audio that you get is much worse, because Bluetooth audio in bidirectional more is very low quality. I also use a QC3, but I bought a good desk USB mic and use the headphones just for output. I can hear people much better and vice-versa, and I'm even less tired throughout the day.


Tbh it's kind of strange that it's 2021 and we still can't have good quality bidirectional audio over bluetooth.

WHY?


Mostly because of the need to keep BT a low-energy medium.

Bluetooth was designed for embedded devices that need to conserve power.

That said, I know that there's active work going on, to improve this exact thing.

Might be a while before we see video over BT, though.

In which case would that be useful?

There seems to be a range of broadcasting features, but if I'm not mistaken they mostly use WiFi.


The nice thing about BT (in particular, BTLE), is the “light-touch” pairing. A lot simpler than most WiFi connections.

Apple has a system that basically combines all of the available connection options, so it can appear as if BT is being used, but it’s really WiFi. Not sure if this type of “zero config” stuff is available in non-proprietary form, though.


The article addresses this, you should read it.


Is there an official location for this project, with source code etc.? Forgive me if I sound paranoid, but downloading a binary from a random Dropbox is a little weird.


Looking in the README, it appears that this OS X branch is part of the main repository. The page for it is at https://code.launchpad.net/~suv-lp/inkscape/osxmenu


It is VERY weird. However, that dropbox link is indeed on the launchpad page that robotfelix posted. If you trust the page, I suppose you can trust the dropbox link.

I wonder if there's any chance it could be made to work on Homebrew...?


Yep, I remember spending an afternoon reverse-engineering the jumper configuration to change the numbers to match the CPU I had just upgraded. I may still have the diagram I drew somewhere. And I thought I didn't have enough free time back then.


This looks more like a Samsung problem. AFAIK all Google services ask for explicit permission to do this.


When I took my first couple of (private) photos with my old galaxy nexus, my phone proudly informed me that my photos had been uploaded to Google plus. (They were marked private on plus - but the app was itching to share them with everybody.)

I was shocked and horrified. It might have been fixed since then - I've become much more paranoid and turn that crap off.
