[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 26 points 3 years ago (1 child) If you're a tinkerer there's a project called OpenHaystack that lets you make your own tags that leech off Apple's Find My network.

Do you think a project like that is beginner friendly? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rmuk@feddit.uk 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Kinda? It's fairly polished, but it does require a computer (or VM) running MacOS, a compatible microcontroller to act as a tag and a TTL adapter to program it. The programming itself is handled by the OpenHaystack software though. https://github.com/seemoo-lab/openhaystack#how-to-use-openhaystack permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago I hope you know that apple is about to kill mail plugins https://www.idownloadblog.com/2023/06/15/macos-sonoma-legacy-plug-ins-apple-mail-extensions/ Hope it works with extensions as well permalink fedilink source parent
