I would completely be fine with this app sending a hacking attempt in the direction of those glasses. If it can remotely brick those glasses, I'd be 100% fine with that. Hell, I'd install it myself
Fuck this garbage
... No releases?
yeah, having to compile apks for android is mad inconvenient and the developer really just has to do it once. honestly, beyond the bare minimum, it should be easily found on fdroid.
Yeah fdroid would be preferred over precompiled apks actually, since fdroid does the compiling to verify the compiled version doesn't contain anything not in the code repo and reports stuff that may be unwanted that is in the repo.
I swear when I first saw this month or so ago there was an APK but I could be wrong.
My question is if it was there why did they take it down?
Is this why obtainium has been returning no releases found!?
I thought obtainium was struggling with some aspect
You can build from source with Android Studio.
The link to the APK seemingly is broken so that leaves just building from source, which it has instructions for.
This needs to be taken on. I'd love an app that just notifies me whenever there's one nearby. Maybe it could play the "I'll be watching you" bit out of the police song.
why does this need to be a separate app? There are other Bluetooth apps which will notify you when it sees a device with a mac address and will record the signal strength and keep a record on a map. Just add a profile to those apps for the manufacturer mac prefix.
Feel free to suggest similar apps that are privacy friendly (no spying ads, telemetry, or other unwanted "features") and quick overview of where to enable realtime alerts for specific mac prefixes in the app to mimic this functionality. I'd be interested.
Thanks, but I couldn't find a way to set alerts for a set of addresses like the OP app scans for, only for a specific MAC address. Wouldn't be feasible to enter all possible addresses since that would be many millions of addresses for each manufacturer prefix.
Just a thought: politicians should not be allowed to use such apps. This right-to-privacy shit has gone too far, in the wrong direction, protecting ONLY the wrong people.
