What It’s Like to Hear Better with AirPods Pro 2

Apple's new hearing features for AirPods Pro 2 work remarkably well. They include hearing protection, a hearing test, and a hearing assistance feature. Before the test, the process prepares the user with simple and clear steps. The test takes a long time as you sit in silence tapping a circle each time you hear the test's intermittent chimes. Upon the completion of the test, the app prompted the user to set up the hearing assistance feature, which amplifies every footstep and sounds more noticeable. The hearing assistance feature helped the user hear media better too. With hearing loss amounting to mild loss in one ear and little to no loss in the other, the difference from using hearing assistance is so noticeable that the user is aware of the crystal clear difference. 1.5 billion people suffer from some degree of hearing loss.
Apple notes that often, many of them are untreated. The hearing test walks the user through checking that their environment is quiet and that their AirPods Pro 2 fit well before testing. Apple published a press release on how it developed these hearing features. The user notices a vast difference in sound during daily activities such as typing, packaging of the food, and conversations nearby.
The feature is equally profound outside, and the difference is noticeable in the real world of the coffee shop. It becomes the new normal as the hearing assistance feature works well. The novelty of hearing assistance will wear off, but the first hour of experience is remarkable.
People who are experiencing hearing loss or even those who are not can give the hearing test a try to witness the remarkable experience of the hearing assistance feature. Club MacStories has provided exclusive content for everyone who has the interest to learn more about Apple and its products.

He He 😆 Running Windows on Raspberry Pi ... Because Why Not?

It is possible to install Windows 10 or 11 on a Raspberry Pi using a tool called WoR.
The process allows you to experience Windows in a completely different environment, explore compatibility issues, and test performance on limited hardware.
However, the ARM architecture of the Raspberry Pi will limit support for applications, and device drivers, especially Wi-Fi, may cause issues.
To install Windows using WoR, you need a Raspberry Pi 4/5 or Pi 400, another computer running Linux, WoR-flasher tool, a microSD card, USB keyboard, mouse, and HDMI display, and an Ethernet cable for network connectivity.
The WoR-flasher tool automates the installation process, eliminating the need for complex manual configurations and ensuring a smooth experience.
After selecting the version of Windows and Raspberry Pi model, WoR-flasher will download necessary Windows installation files and prepare them for flashing onto your chosen storage device.
The initial boot process on Raspberry Pi may take approximately 30 minutes as Windows sets up.
After completing the setup, you can disable unnecessary startup programs, optimize system performance or overclock your Raspberry Pi to boost speed.
Despite the limitations, installing Windows on a Raspberry Pi using WoR offers new possibilities, allowing you to run specific Windows apps or enjoy having Windows on a compact device.
Whether you want to experiment or curious to see what your Raspberry Pi can do, give it a try and see how it works out!
