  • Well not just the network, it also doesn’t run on Linux, but I think that’s mostly just a matter of software…sort-of. Apple doesn’t have any sort of open API that I know of to be able to participate OR make requests for device tags. You still need an active Apple device that’s subscribed to the stupid iCloud or whatever they call it now, which is how you find devices in these networks.

    So ething similar to this by for Android would probably be closer to what you’re angling for. There’s also plenty of BT devices that do proximity trackingnif you’re just looking for something around the house. This plus Home Assistant I believe can track tags in a local sense.



  • Unless there’s an open version, that’s not going to happen. They work by using networks of devices that participate in crowd scanning devices, then tracking devices on a proprietary hosted backend, which is the real product. .if somebody wants to build said backend that tracks millions or billions of these tags out in the world somehow, you’d need to first get all user of mobile phones of a particular OS or manufacturer to participate in scanning and providing you that data, which just won’t happen.

    A reverse engineered sort of solution is Haystack, but it still uses Apples backend and devices.






  • It’s to say without more specifics, but you’d only be getting up to 64MB max on the P4.

    What audio are you streaming to the device exactly? Are you using any offloading? What’s the memory until on your current project?

    I’m not sure what kind of lagging you’re talking about, but these devices are meant to be anything but responsive or real-time. Thinking of some audio applications I’ve run on a few, and they all have that 250ms sort of lag when dealing with audio operations. I’ve never dug deeper into myself.







  • Offline first for online content? Whoa buddy, where’s this Moon you’re asking for?

    Seriously though, you need to be realistic when you’re asserting your wants for a service or tool. Everyone builds tools to sync bookmarks and save lists now, because that’s a feature that users want. It’s going to be difficult to find something that is “offline”.

    Try using a memo app maybe? Lots of password managers have the ability to save links, and would technically be “outside” the browser if you want them to be.
