      He pretended to run a hacking crew in Gamer. Had dreams of what life would be like as a real one. That's where his transformation and stealthy visits on HN began.

Dial-up internet involves converting bits into sound (both in audible and ultrasonic spectrums) and then back on the other end of a phone line. The Google Tone extension (http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2015/05/tone-experimental-chrome-extension-for.html http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2015/05/tone-experimental...) uses both ultrasonic sound and an audible DTMF-based codec. Audio tones are also used for setting up Google OnHub routers; the router emits a tone and the Google On setup app listens for it.

  woah > The Google On app will automatically find your OnHub. OnHub will then send a setup code directly to your mobile device via an audio tone. For best results, hold your phone right above your OnHub and reduce ambient noise like music. Neat method of convenient no-setup wireless configuration. Thanks for posting, haven't realized they've started doing this!
