In this video I discuss how a Free Software Developer has created software that allows people to use all the features of airpods that are normally only reserved for Apples hardware on Android and Linux devices. If this project is successful people will be able to use the best consumer earbuds ever made without being forced to buy an iPhone, iPad, or Macbook.

hi, the developer here. thank you so much for covering this!
Apple: “new firmware update for the AirPods for no reason…”
"Are you Apple" "yeah" "aight"
"Fine, I'll do it myself"
Now we just have to hope for Android to fix the bug in their Bluetooth code to allow this to run without root.
Cloudflare recovered with Mental Outlaw video. You call this a coincidence?
Taking away advertised features for simply using a different phone seems like a anti trust violation
The repo already has 7.2k stars lol. Based af. I already have a rooted device, so might as well try it out on bro's airpods when he comes back for the holidays.

So it's like those old Flash games with site-locked levels. Flashpoint can play these by saying "I am the King website" and the game goes "Okey dokey, here's the five bonus levels of Red Ball".
Call me old fashioned, but I don't trust sticking lithium-ion batteries in my ear holes.
4 minutes to a mental outlaw vid is crazy, im happy my airpods are now open source now. Thanks!
Recently moved to graphene os.. this may be the way to get the most out of my airpods.
I'm a headphones guy One of the biggest benefits is that you can easily tell that I'm listening to something Also, you don't easily lose headphones like you do air pods Making technology smaller isn't always better
If (device===appledevice){unlock features}else{lock features}
Note that the Linux version is kind of an unmaintained relic, but a new version is being built now.
I've been using AirPods on Android and Linux for years. They are just plain good headphones. Basic features work and even ANC is no Problem.
It would be pretty funny to have in-device EQ for airpods with Android first
For Everyone's information, Kavish (the Developer) is just 16 years old from India.
1000% Apple will literally change the structure and code next update, only to give out some vague PR response before it quickly blows over. Will anyone think of the shareholders for once?!
