Apple's Camera AirPods May Launch as 'AirPods Pro,' Not 'AirPods Ultra'
The camera-equipped AirPods that we've confirmed Apple is working on are likely going to be part of the AirPods Pro lineup rather than separate "AirPods Ultra."

It's possible that's a placeholder name, so AirPods Ultra isn't entirely out of the question, but given Apple put a full video of the new AirPods in the software,…

Modo Avión — couper le réseau pour entendre enfin le monde
Carnet d’écoute Lab Sonore : Modo Avión, extrait de Después Del Ruido. Un article musical personnel, pensé pour ouvrir l’écoute sans discours appuyé. Il y a des morceaux qui n’arrivent pas en demandant la permission. Modo Avión fait partie de ceux-là. Il entre par une sensation, par une couleur, par une tension de basse, puis il laisse le reste du paysage se mettre en place. Dans la campagne Lab Sonore, je voulais commencer par…

There is a good reason to praise AirPods with cameras, and not fear them
There's already social media outrage that AirPods Pro are going to get a camera very soon. Like with mockery about the Snuggie, the Clapper, and so forth, most of the drama badly misses the point. Meta's AI specs are creepy. They have nearly invisible cameras, whose main protection for the non-wearer is a light that is easily defeated by a piece of electrical tape. This is just the way that they want it. The…
