I'm A Different Bird

I wouldn’t call this a “smart workaround”. I mean, I can hardly blame the opportunistic fucks for doing it this way, and certainly the original sin in Apple’s licensing/certification bullshit, but it’s just an amazingly stupid way of doing this all around, brought about by both Apple’s and the earbud manufacturers’ greed.

I mean, both are problems.

You don’t even need root, or at least you didn’t when I had mine. You just need to turn on developer mode, and then the Fire Toolkit app can do the rest.

Nice. Mine is an opera director.

I share a name with someone who is obscure enough to not come up in many conversations, but famous enough that he monopolizes the Google results for my name.

I quite enjoy the relative anonymity.

I’m increasingly glad I got the fuck out of there.

I mean, that’s a fine destination anyway, given that it’s the home of the Xavier School for the Gifted.
