It is offered as a Flatpak, AppImage, and DEB; the text specifies the AppImage is for x86-64. Feature availability depends on the earbud hardware, so supported devices and settings should be checked against the project's list. Budslink is another companion app, supporting Nothing and CMF as well as devices from several other brands. Basic Bluetooth pairing and audio playback do not require either app; companion apps provide advanced controls and battery readings. ### Source excerpt Adjusting active noise cancellation (ANC) on Nothing or CMF earbuds means taking out your phone, opening the official mobile app and twiddling a setting there. EarA, a new open-source tool, aims to nix that palaver. It's a GTK4 app (with a CLI for those who prefer the terminal), and lets you change settings on earbuds like the Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds 2, from your Linux desktop. Noise control/ANC levels can be switched with a click. There are toggles to disable personalised ANC and in-ear detection and use low latency. Gesture behaviours (on supported devices) can be set as [...] You're reading This app lets you manage Nothing & CMF earbuds on Linux, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu.

A smartphone connects to the PC running Claude directly, or through a VPN when remote. Speech recognition sends spoken prompts, and text-to-speech reads Claude's replies aloud. Push-to-talk can be triggered from Bluetooth earbuds, with a mode that keeps the channel open through long pauses. The excerpt also describes a retro walkie-talkie display and synthesized radio sounds. ### Source excerpt [Bookmari] had a problem -- working as a delivery driver, they wanted to work on various projects with Claude Code while out and about. Unfortunately, it simply wasn't practical to ...read more ## These smart glasses turn your blinks into electricity DevFeed: [These smart glasses turn your blinks into electricity]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Sarang Sheth Published: 2026-10-20T20:30:21Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Yanko Design]() Topics: [Glasses & AR Tech](), [smartdevices](), [3D]() Tags: [battery](), [bluetooth](), [computers](), [data](), [decision-trees](), [earbuds](), [electricity](), [energy](), [energy-harvesting](), [glasses](), [product-design](), [product-design-wearables-smart-glasses](), [smart-glasses](), [wearables]() ### AI overview Northwestern's GlassTENG prototype harvests static electricity from facial movements to power low-energy sensors for pulse, blinks, and jaw activity. Its PDMS-FEP layers generate voltage as they press together and separate; three sensors are positioned at the nose bridge and temple, with the glasses frame providing contact pressure for one. In a 20-person study, a classifier distinguished six activities with 93.8% accuracy, though talking was often mistaken for eating; pulse readings were within 1.82 beats per minute of a chest strap in a smaller resting-volunteer test. The sensing front-end draws 4.1 microwatts, far below the optical and gel-based sensor power figures cited in the excerpt. The prototype still uses a battery for its microcontroller and Bluetooth, and battery-free operation remains future work. The excerpt also flags privacy concerns around continuous recording of personal signals; it gives no price or release date. ### Source excerpt These smart glasses turn your blinks into electricity Your face is a power plant, and you've been running it for free your whole life.

Complex open devices such as the PinePhone are both exciting and fun, but they also aren't for everyone. Or putting it inversely, they are for a very particular group of people. In contrast, simpler devices in our lineup such as the PineTime, PinePower, and Pinecil have all garnered a broader user base. Heck, I'd go as far as to say that the Pinecil is now a downright mainstream device with Amazon USA officially recommending it to those seeking a soldering iron. So then - we thought to ourselves - it's time to go mainstream. See? told you ... Seeking inspiration and scrolling through lists of popular home appliances, game consoles, battery-operated toys, etc, we frequently thought to ourselves: "we could probably do it equally well, if not better, and make it open". We figured that since we're already going after Apple with the PinePhone, we could also take a shot at the growing internet-enabled toy market. We therefore started development on a brand new lineup of unicorn toys with microphones, with the capacity to function as an always-online child-friendly voice assistant, and optional Home Assistant integration. With this new project already underway, two even more potentially lucrative market segments presented themselves: portable digital audio players and wireless earbuds. So, with no further ado, let me introduce you to PineBuds and the PinePod. The buds offer features found on high-end in-ear headphones, such as ambient and environment noise cancellation (utilizing 3 microphones in each bud), touch-based input, and a long battery life. All in a small form factor too, of course. Unlike existing products, however, we've designed the PineBuds with development and open firmware in mind. You'll be able to plug the buds cradle into your computer via USB and tailor the firmware to your own needs - changing the internal EQ settings and cus
