»Google Fast Pair — Sicherheitslücke macht Hörstöpsel zur Wanze:
Sicherheitsforscher haben eine gravierende Schwachstelle in Googles Fast-Pair-Technologie für Bluetooth-Hörstöpsel entdeckt.«

Last mich raten: Nicht die Ersten und auch nicht die Letzten und dies in jensten populären IT-Bereichen?! Dies nun "zufällig" oder auch nicht.

Anyone have recommendations for a headset? I work from home and my wife and I share an open space.

- Wired USB
- Ambient noise reduction mic
- Over ear headphones
- No proprietary software
- Works with Linux
- Under or around $200 if possible

Fairphone's new Fairbuds XL headphones bring upgraded 40mmaudio drivers for better sound and mesh fabric for the headband and ear cushions. Thanks to a modular design, some new parts are also compatible with the first-gen headphones. https://www.theverge.com/news/839481/fairphone-xl-wireless-headphones-repairable-modular #Fairphone #FairbudsXL #Fairbuds #modular #Headphones

I could use a tech recommendation:

What are a good set of #headphones (_sans_ microphone!) suitable for gaming that can be used both wireless and non-wireless?

I am willing to invest up to €200 or so for this.

I prefer wired headphones because I'm old and sick of having to charge yet another device, but Kamala Harris prefers them because she knows the risk of using wireless headphones.

#Bluetooth was a mistake: Millions of Bluetooth headphones can potentially be turned in eavesdropping devices. Best-seller #Sony and #Bose #headphones are affected by at least some of the disclosed flaws among many others. The true dimension of these flaws is yet unknown as the the vulnerable component is very widely in use under different names.
