Unzipped binary https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d4a9c04351dd8574782dd3de32bb317df95e9e51b36b37271f1765549fed23a2?nocache=1

Features:
- Bidirectional computer ↔ Bluetooth audio routing
- Automatic hardware format detection
- Integrated Bluetooth microphone support
- USB & analog microphone support
- Media-aware operation (enabled by default)
- Optional standalone always-on intercom mode
- Optional Software-Defined Radio (SDR) dual-method squelch mode with smart passive CTCSS tone scanner for on-the-fly frequency identification & switching
- Test tone diagnostics
- Low-latency, high-quality streaming audio pipeline
- Integrated AGC and WebRTC Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
   * WebRTC VAD enabled by default for intelligent voice-gating
   * Replaces legacy envelope follower (toggleable via `DebugFlags`) to significantly reduce false triggers from room noise
   * Lightweight, zero external dependency footprint

Modes:
* Media-Aware Mode (Default): Run ./macintercom. The intercom automatically yields to media playback, pausing/resuming media when toggled.

* Standalone Mode: Run ./macintercom --s. The intercom ignores media playback and stays active continuously until closed with Ctrl-C.

* SDR Squelch Mode: Run ./macintercom --sdr. Mutes the Bluetooth microphone return path for SDR inputs (e.g., routed via Soundflower), supporting two squelch methods:
  * WebRTC VAD & Passive Scanner (Default): Automatically detects human voice activity in the noise floor to open the gate. While running, a passive, zero-latency scanner continuously evaluates the audio and prints detected sub-audible CTCSS tones to the terminal.
      Interactive Hotkey: Pressing Return instantly locks your squelch to the last detected tone (disabling VAD). Pressing Return again while a new tone is detected hot-swaps the lock to the new tone. Pressing Esc releases the lock entirely.
      Mac Menu Bar: Click ⩛ when it appears while MacIntercom is running, then lock & unlock squelch.

  * CTCSS Tone Squelch: Pass -tone <frequency> (e.g., ./macintercom --sdr -tone 100.0) to disable VAD and the scanner, and enforce strict, non-interactive tone squelch startup parameters.

* Test Tone Mode: Run ./macintercom --t. Simultaneously plays a 220 Hz tone through the computer output and a 440 Hz tone through the Bluetooth speaker.

This has been type II fun  

My roommate found a Logitech M525 mouse, that presumably a scavenger took out of a bin & forgot to pick up off the ground (since it wasn't cracked like it had been tossed out of a bin). It was a bit gunky, so I cleaned it up. 2 Amazon AA alkalines inside that hadn't leaked yet, tested them: 80% capacity.

Probably didn't have a receiver next to it on the ground, or my roommate just didn't see it (figures, they thought it was like-new despite the gunk I saw). But I did have a Logi Nano receiver, that I think I found in a giveaway box years ago, saved in case I ever found a Logi wireless mouse to pair with it. Now, the M525 is a Unifying mouse, so it would not natively work with the Nano receiver - yet in Logitech Control Center, the M525 showed up as a M310 (IIRC) while the battery level wouldn't display & movement/clicks weren't detected. But...

After many more-complicated-than-they-needed-to-be iterations with Gemini pushing Solaar, ltunify, a nonexistent GitHub repo "hidpp-pair", and logi_tool, finally concluded with "pure Apple C code" (after a bunch of iterations just by itself):

https://github.com/TheButterZone/logi-nano-pair

And now, the found Unifying M525 mouse works with the found non-Unifying Nano receiver. Just no customization of all 5 "buttons"; will have to use Mac Mouse Fix for that.

Just thought of this ^

Currently I have ~29.8375 lbs of bagged PET #1 (incrementally weighed on my postage scale with 50lb x 0.2oz range & taring out the board I sit the bags on) which at the CA redemption value per-pound rate of $1.46 would get me ~$43.56/https://www.blockchain.com/tobtc?currency=USD&value=43.56 minus the weight of the bags. Except there isn't a nearby recycling center I trust (been shorted before, but weights & measures doesn't offer rewards for reporting frauds they subsequently investigated undercover & fined for underweighing, plus, they won't even get me the shorted amount) & gas is insanely overtaxed/regulated in CA.

There are 10 American states with container deposit legislation, leaving aside businesses in other states that may offer cash for returning specific brands' containers (many years ago, I returned some to Whole Foods for $1 each IIRC).

Should there be a website/app where...
1) people list their recycling types, weights, ZIP codes & BTC addresses
2) the website/app keeps up to date with each state's published per-pound rate (minimum, some recycling centers pay more)
3) the per-pound rate is multiplied by the weight & the product is divided by the BTC spot price
4) the quotient is displayed on the listing with the BTC address?
5) the poster is alerted after the address is funded the full quotient
6) the recycling is to be dropped somewhere the public can grab it anytime, with a date/time & GPS-watermarked photo then uploaded to the listing as proof of "no longer in my possession"? The updated listing can also take the GPS from EXIF & map pin the drop site.
?

Personally, I don't want to put recyclables out at my home & attract/reward bin scavengers, who come at all hours being noisy & leaving trails of mess, so when I get paid, should I go to a park & set my bags next to bins (which are almost always overfilled & have bags next to them already)?

A bigger enterprise might be having lockers with built-in scales, AI-powered cameras to detect it's all one container type with no weight-padding by wet containers, and rotating combinations. Then either people looking at the listing will see the current combo after the proof photo is uploaded, or if the website/app is used to broadcast the raw TX, the one who broadcasts will get the combo & can either use it, give it to someone else privately, or hit "reveal to public".

Maybe recycling centers would want to run these but just for themselves, unattended, with only employees remote-monitoring, dispatching from nearby for maintenance, and authorized payers paying the depositors & unlocking their combos, then the recycling & weight receipts getting taken to the next recycling tier up, where all the big trucks go.

Pickup in San Diego, CA OR I'll bring to a UPS Store if you pay in advance/give me the info needed for UPS to charge you to collect your shipment & I'm only paid for the tire(s), etc.

If you don't want to pay with BTC, I also accept cash, but absolutely no PayPal or other non-cash scammer payment methods.

Please PM, text 619-393-2253, Matrix me, or contact me via my website with offers & the basis from where you're coming up with them.

• Firestone T115/70D14 convenience spare & jack kit (jack itself is out of frame to get as much of the tire as possible in frame). Still has the green quality control sticker on the tire, so maybe never or barely used (should have fallen off)? Also have the 1999 Toyota Corolla owner’s manual bundle & pair of used jumper cables that rode along. That car was sold to a "dismantler".
• Ironman GR906 https://www.wheel-size.com/tire/iso-metric-185-65-R-14/ ? used good condition bare tire taken off the 1999 Corolla & retained because it was the best one of all that were being replaced, IIRC.
• Goodyear Convenience Spare, T135/70D15 99M Still has the rubber bobbles sticking out, so seems new. Also have the jack, jack lever, tire iron, rim remover, screwdriver with carry bag for the tools only, and the 1993 Toyota Corolla owner’s manual bundle with pouch that rode along. That car was also sold to a "dismantler".

As long as blockchain.info/q/24hrprice indicates BTC-USD >$126,000...

Send me prepaid shipping labels (US addresses only, I don't want to deal with customs) & I'll throw free trash/treasure together & ship it - since everybody in my metro area is a choosy beggar.  

Will gladly weigh & measure if you don't want to pay flat rate - I have a wide variety of non-flat-rate packaging to use up.

No face-to-face, I'm only dropping off where I can get a tender receipt for the shipment.

I just got a phishing spam, and as I was viewing the source prior to reporting it to ISPs, I saw a bunch of instances of "bitcointalk" before the @ sign in the To: email addresses. Ended up finding 7 by text search. So it seems these people were using site-specific email addresses; would be weird if they added "bitcointalk" for any other website...

Oop, yes there was https://haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites#BitcoinTalk & I checked all of them, they all matched as pwned from 2015.

Nevermind...

FIRM. Was given it for returning someone's club card my mom found walking around the neighborhood before she died.

How can I transfer the balance from one Starbucks Card to another?

If you don't want to pay with BTC, I also accept cash, but absolutely no PayPal or other non-cash scammer payment methods.

Their email forwarding contract was valid until 10/26/19, but didn't renew after I emailed on 10/18/19. I sent them a PM on October 30, 2019 that it expired but haven't gotten a reply to that either. I deleted their forward, but they haven't removed it from their account, and the *@thebutterzone.com catch-all just picked up a PM to their account. I'd rather not disable the catch-all.

That PM isn't sensitive (a bot notified of this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5115154.msg52956825#msg52956825) but before I get an actual sensitive PM, can their Bitcointalk account please be set to require an email change & suspend emailing to the current one? Thanks.

I will pick something(s) ~worth the BTC you send (cost of shipping counts, but packaging is free)
& ship it in the United States of America.
Including to a USA-based international shipping forwarding service you hire.

The only non-mysterious aspects of my mystery boxes of love, are that they won't contain used, pet or smoke-contaminated items, vehicles, furniture, items illegal to possess, perishable food, and others that are illegal to ship (or cost more to ship than the actual item/s).

Any number above (or the BTC equivalent of $28 USD at the time)
posted in this thread/emailed to me as a reply notification, is your binding BTC payment amount, since this is BITCOINtalk.
If the number exceeds my capacity (doubtful), you won't be held to paying it.

I will PM you, you won't PM me unless I see your reply on this topic & PM you first.
