Mike @mmasnick: " #Jack sort of vibe-coded over a weekend, I guess, a #mesh network system called #BitChat. I didn't realize it used #Nostr under the hood…"
@rabble: "It uses #Bluetooth as the primary messaging thing of discovering people. I'm a bit involved with it… We now know through looking at the App Store stuff for BitChat… we can see when a country is having a crisis because all of a sudden the BitChat installs spike up.
…today we were on a call where we were like, "What's going on in #Brazil?" Huh? Because two or three days ago, the installs spiked up and Brazil became the number one country for BitChat."

Hijacking Bluetooth Accessories Using Google Fast Pair
I wanted to connect a keyboard to my FLX1s Linux phone.
I first tried connecting a USB keyboard to it — but, I couldn't get it to work.
Others on the Furilabs Matrix / Telegram room suggested using a Bluetooth keyboard.
So, I purchased an inexpensive (CAD $13) Bluetooth key, and — it worked! 🙂

I put my mouse in the microwave !!
Seriously. I have a bluetooth mouse that wouldn't enter pairing mode. It was connecting to *something*... maybe a smart switch or whatever. This cheap mouse has no way to enter pairing mode if it's connected to something.
So anyway, a microwave oven is a faraday cage. I turned the mouse on, tossed it in, shut the door and waited. It entered pairing mode quickly, and boom, connected to my tablet.
A+++ life hack by yours truly. Just don't start the nuker or magic smoke will come out 😆
