I quaff the grape’s nectar and doth play diverse melodies from Spotify until I chance upon a tune that pleases me.

Thanks for responding

Thanks for explaining

I use it on and off. I get annoyed that the swiping constantly gives the wrong words.

I know nothing about all this licensing stuff. Way over my head… But, is it possible that “futo” is using us to train their software, then when it’s working great, change it to a paid app?

I have been doing passive research on proton to maybe make a switch… I agree with you. At this point, i think I’d rather have my required services with multiple/different providers and use syncthing in-house whenever possible.

It works. Been using it without fail.

Those worked by sound. No power was needed or generated by the remote.

From the article…

By pressing a button on the remote, you set off a spring-loaded hammer that strikes a solid aluminum rod in the device, which then rings out at an ultrasonic frequency.

I THINK I even remember, way back, random channel changes from tapping on a drinking glass or something similar… Cool tech for the time
