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.
