And rightfully so. Corporations will find every conceivable way to track you and no API will be left unused, including tracking MAC addresses of bluetooth devices around you, which is a relatively easy one.
However, you can absolutely allow an app to access that API so it can scan for those MACs.
Funny thing, as soon as the API is locked down and presented as an option to the user, companies stop using it since nobody wants to give bluetooth access to i.e. Facebook.
AM, which operates at a lower frequency, has radio waves with larger wavelengths, meaning they travel farther but struggle to penetrate solid objects like buildings.
Aren’t low frequencies better at penetrating materials?
Avast? Bruh
Even after reading the article I still have no idea how they plan to do it
Such a cool project, thanks for documenting it and posting here
*fuck CCP
What are you aiming it? If it’s a false alarm, just unlock your phone again.
That’s such a great idea. Even better, use white filament for the the 1st layer and use another color filament for all the other layers.
Nah it’s a glass something that has to do with electricity but I forgot what
Cars suck but I’ve been spending too much time in them and now I’m too stupid to explain why
That’s actually correct but I assumed they opened up the API afterwards. I used to notice it before because the optical image stabilization would kick in and you could hear the solenoids kick the lens around as you move the phone.
Wouldn’t agree.
You could’ve recorded a 30 minute video with the flashlight on without any issues. They also wouldn’t allow API access to the flashlight hardware for those apps if it was damaging the phones.
Plastic Sony Ericssons and Nokias had flashlights circa 2005 and could shine day and night and every one of those phones had internal power control of the LED (it would shine brighter when taking a photo and be dimmer when used as a flashlight).
Meanwhile metal and glass iPhones with even better heat dissipation didn’t have flashlight as a system feature until iOS 7 in 2013.
I never understood what the fuck was up with that. Most older dumb phones had that feature and even if they deemed it unnecessary, the sheer amount of flashlight apps would prove them wrong
This is cool as FUCK

Didn’t think this through, did I… But DDG works for now
Is there any hope for us to be able to play videos again? It’s been months now, and as far as I can tell, the service has been off-line more than it has been online, no matter which instance I use.
RARBG shutting down left a huge hole for me and I can’t figure out what’s a good alternative for it other than 1337. Any suggestions?
