These Guys Hacked AirPods to Give Their Grandmas Hearing Aids
  • They wanted to use the hearing aids feature that Apple recently released but it is not available in India. They found a way to get around the geo restrictions and enable it.

    Rithwik Jayasimha immediately went out with his dad to buy a pair for his grandma. “We came back home, we took them out of the case, and I was looking for the feature and it was just missing,”

    I believe AirPods are the only earphones with a hearing aid feature so far, and because of how expensive hearing aids are, they are probably the cheapest.

  • Omnivore is joining ElevenLabs
  • From what I understand. The development team plans to transition to ElevenReader, while Omnivore will remain open-source and, hopefully, community-driven.

    Servers will be shutting down in November so if you are not self hosting you will need to backup your saved articles.

    Here is the full email I got:

    Hello everyone,

    We’re excited to share that Omnivore is joining forces with ElevenLabs, the leading AI audio research and technology company. Our team is joining ElevenLabs to help drive the future of accessible reading and listening with their new ElevenReader app.

    As part of the ElevenLabs team, we’ll have an even larger platform to create accessible and engaging experiences for serious readers. We came to know ElevenLabs by integrating their ultra realistic AI voices into Omnivore—soon enough, listening to articles and books with ElevenLabs voices became one of our most popular features in Omnivore. We’re thrilled about this opportunity, and we wanted to share some info that’s important for you to know.

    First, all Omnivore users are invited to create a free account with ElevenReader. Our team has already shipped valuable updates to the ElevenReader app, and it’s incredibly powerful as a go-to reader and audio listening app that’s free:

    Download for iOS | Download for Android

    Next, all Omnivore users will be able to export their information from the service through November 15 2024, after which all information will be deleted.

    Lastly, ElevenLabs is committed to the developer community and the Omnivore codebase will remain 100% open-source for all users. This decision ensures that the broader development community can continue to build upon and improve Omnivore’s technology.

    We hope you'll join us on Discord and try the ElevenReader app for iOS and Android. We're hard at work ensuring an accessible, bright future for readers everywhere.

    Onwards,

    Jackson & Hongbo

  • Self-hosted Jellyfin CPU or GPU for 4K HDR transcoding?

    Hey everyone, I'm building a new server to run Jellyfin (with a few other services like Pi-hole) and I'm stuck on GPU or CPU transcoding.

    My main concern is smooth 4K HDR transcoding for 1 stream. I've been reading mixed advice online – some people say a strong CPU with good single-core performance can handle it, while others recommend a dedicated GPU.

    Should I focus my budget (~$1000AUD/$658USD) on a good CPU, or spend some of it on a dedicated GPU?

    Open-source workout tracker?

    So, I've been using FitNotes for a while as it's the only app that I found that doesn't have a nightmare privacy policy. However, the app is rarely updated and there are things I wish it had that I would love to add if it was FOSS. Wondering if there is anything foss alternatives?

    Seeking Help with GitHub LFS Push

    Hi everyone, I've been in communication with GitHub's support team for several weeks, but unfortunately, they haven't been able to resolve this problem. Therefore, I'm hoping someone here has a solution.

    I'm currently facing an issue where I can't push LFS (Large File Storage) objects to any of my repositories. Once I add an LFS object, I lose the ability to push. Here's the error message I receive when attempting to push my code to an empty repository: Link to Error on Pastebin. It just infinitely asks for password and fails every time.

    Trouble with Hardware Accelerated Transcoding
  • I just tried it with

    ffmpeg -c:v h264_qsv -i Kimetsu\ no\ Yaiba\ Yuukaku\ Hen\ -\ 01\ \[Blu-Ray\]\[1080p\]\[10bit\]\[BCEFB086\].mkv -map 0 -c copy -c:v hevc_qsv -preset slow -global_quality 22 -look_ahead 1 output.mkv

    and got:

    [h264_qsv @ 0x5647e6354780] Error initializing the MFX video decoder: invalid handle (-6)
    Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid argument

    [h264_qsv @ 0x5647e6354780] get_buffer() failed
    Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid argument
    

    Could this mean it is a driver issue?

    Trouble with Hardware Accelerated Transcoding
  • There is 1 plugin that seems to support H.264, the rest are H.265. I tried the following plugins:

    • "Transcode Video Files" with the following options selected
      • Video Code = H264
      • Video Encoder = hvec_qvc
    • "Video Encoder H265/HEVC - hevc_vaapi (INTEL/AMD)"
    • "Video Encoder H265/HEVC - hevc_qsv (Intel)"

    None of them worked.

  • Stuck at 0% Progress with qBittorrent on Torrent/Media Server Setup - Seeking Help and Insights

    Hello everyone, I've been working on setting up a torrent/media server on an old PC. Everything works near perfectly. However, I'm encountering an issue where qBittorrent gets stuck at 0% progress and just says 'Downloading Metadata'.

    I've tried various solutions, including disabling the VPN, and even attempting to download it on my Windows 11 PC (both with and without a VPN). I've tried disabling my Windows 11 firewall and even tried Deluge. Unfortunately, none of these solutions have resolved the problem. I'm struggling to pinpoint the root cause. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I've tried a few different torrents that Prowlarr has fetched, but the one I've been trying without a VPN is the one from ipleak.net.

    EDIT:

    Was able to figure out a solution. Not sure why but switching from Wireguard to OpenVPN seems to have fixed the issue..

    Aurora Store on non rooted devices

    Hey everyone, I recently learned about Aurora Store, a platform that allows you download Play Store apps even if you don't have Google services, like on Graphene OS. I'm curious if there's any benefit to using it on my non-rooted device. Any thoughts?

    Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.

    That is not 2 separate buttons on the right, like I initially thought clicking through checkout.

    I tried to make a post on !buildapc@lemmy.world. It seemed to be successful initially, but upon checking, I couldn't find it. I made another attempt to post, encountering the same problem, with no error message provided. However, commenting functions properly.

    Does it need to be approved by the mods? New to Lemmy so still getting used to everything.
