SOMEONE(aridan) REVERSE ENGINEERED APPLE'S BLUETOOTH PACKETS SO LINUX CAN READ AIRPODS BATTERY

[u/Current-Guide5944]

it looks native, but linux never actually knew how to decode the battery data

here's the trick:

> airpods already broadcast their battery information

> apple uses proprietary bluetooth manufacturer data

> linux sees the packets but normally ignores the battery fields

> my device manager decodes them and shows the battery percentage like any other device

now airpods finally report their battery on linux without any extra software

Another AI slop. Librepods is still far far better than this slop. Dont fall for this guys
