@mattblaze@federate.social @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange like... bluetooth headphones? Is there some kind of licensing problem with them? I'm very confused

@fraggle@social.coop @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Active noise canceling headphones, like people use on airplanes. I think the idea was that the circuit that does the noise cancelation should be (free) software instead of (proprietary) hardware. I'm not sure how that accounts for the microphone hardware that detects the external noise, but no one ever claimed this made any sense.
