Small and easy to wear form factor, monochrome laser projector are the two most interesting. Also a camera, microphone, a lot other sensors, packed in a tight case. If you build something DIY usually you can't make it this small.

This is not a well written arricle. They mixes up material design with corporate memphis, which is not necessarily related, they can exist independently.
Their actual problem with google's ux appears only in this paragraph:
The problem? Google’s actual UI & UX design is terrible. Whether mass-market or enterprise, web or mobile, its interfaces are chaotic and confusing. Every time I use Google Drive or the G Suite admin console, I feel lost. Neither experience nor intuition helps—I feel like an old man seeing a computer for the first time. I used Android for years (stock Android on a Nexus device), yet even after all that time, I struggled to distinguish buttons from plain text.
No examples, no reasoning, no good counter examples how it should be done, nothing. I'm not super familiar with google's web ux as I only use search and youtube ocasionally. They write here about android, but no android screenshots in the article. So is this about web ux only? Or anything google? The author couldn't even figure out what is their problem, this article sounds like "old man yells at cloud"
They tried to place them as far from villages as possible for the first one. You can see in the video, the guy had to bike to the middle of nowhere to record it. The problem first appeared in countrywide news after the 3rd one, because that's much more closer to some residential buildings.
Hungary is not a classic democracy, if you are not a friend of a local oligarch you can't really do anything about things like this. If they decided about it at the HQ it will happen whatever it takes.
I think the original concept is not inherently bad, you just need careful planning and sound simulations. Current tech can simulate sound waves very precisely. Maybe such a small country doesnt need 3 of these, they should have stopped after the 1st or 2nd one
It's posted here every 2 months, and it's still cryptobros you shouldn't trust.
There are 3 musical roads in Hungary now, but they exist because you can steal EU/government funds with them easily. You can invoice much higher prices if you add extras like these.
Locals who live nearby hate them, and are lobbying for removal. You hear the melody if only one car is playing the song. If multiple cars driving on the painting you just hear some cacophony. Here is a guy recording next to the road, you can see it can get annoying very quickly: https://youtu.be/G5AxAc1W6qk?t=27
Local joke party placed musical road signs on some very bad quality roads, but with metal song titles, like this:
It's a well known Hungarian song from the 90s, "Route 67", the joke is it's painted on the actual route 67.

I can't see any screenshots from the article, all require a bluesky account. At least on twitter you could see images without login before the takeover. I'm alright if a for profit websites hides "their" content behind a login wall, it's their choice, but how lazy is this "journalism" where they don't copy the images, they just link to the original tweets or whatever they called on bluesky.
This is a symptom. If police won't do it's job there will be some guys who will take it into their own hands. The problem is they have even less oversight than police.
And gitea is the fork of gogs, just to complete the family tree
The alternative is death, so a lot people would choose this instead.
My offline android music workflow:
- Server: Navidrome but any music server supporting Subsonic API would work here. Navidrome has a nice UI, and reads MusicBrainz IDs, and can scrobble to ListenBrainz, that's why I settled with this.
- Mobile app: Ultrasonic, on Fdroid. There are a lot of ways you can set up caching. I set up that it should automatically download everything from my "Now playing" playlist, at home on wifi I just add a bunch of albums and playlists to the "Now playing" list, it takes a while but it transcodes and downloads everything in a couple of minutes. It has very good Android Auto support, and a widget. Due to an annoying bug I had to downgrade to version 4.7.1, but otherwise I love it.

The pin runs some android based software as the website mentions adb. You can build your own interposer, and they are selling the current official one on Etsy, in a 3d printed case. ~~It doesn't sound like something made in a factory. I guess it uses some off the shelf usb to jtag chip or similar.~~
The interposer files are in this repo: https://github.com/MaxMaeder/OpenPin
From the bom it seems it's just a micro usb to pogo pin converter, no chip mentioned, so the pin has an usb port, but pogo pin form...
