That one doesn't seem to do bluetooth at all, I think?

This could be used for a truly eye-opening art installation: a screen that as you walk by it, tells you when you were last there..

Even wilder would be to buy data on you in real time and display that.

The Hollywood movie Minority Report has a scene where an advertising display personalizes the ad by your name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bXJ_obaiYQ

you said " blocking ads network-wide with AdGuard". It's better to block it with a Pihole.

The project describes - and shows - a web interface.

Is there a simple CLI interface that can be redirected or pipelined into other tools ?

The article says the data is in a SQLite database.

Yes I see that and I wonder if the project includes a CLI tool.

I suspect the e-scooters left around town (Lime, Bird, etc) are massive Bluetooth / LoRa dragnets. You pay them to increase coverage or visibility to social hot spots.

Wow e-scooter wardriving is something I hadn’t thought of. Could be happening somewhere

LLM slop. Both the article and the Python script

ran something similar on a home network once and was surprised how many of my neighbors' devices showed up with full manufacturer names and model numbers. you don't even need to try hard.

Yeah here in the city I scan for 2 minutes and I know half the neighbours names and what phones, computers and TVs they use.

Wait doesn't BLE randomize the UUIDs?

Has anyone ever studied what happens with Bluetooth contention where thousands of people are gathered in a small space?

Like a marathon mass-start with 10,000 sometimes 20,000 or more people

How does bluetooth handle that? Or it doesn't?

In my experience, just fine. I recently ran a large (~30k) marathon and my AirPods and watch never glitched once, streaming the whole time including in the packed start corrals. I had the same thought about RF contention, but Bluetooth didn't seem to care.

Even licensed wireless stops functioning. All circuits are busy.
