![]() The team from the Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab at ETH Zürich, Switzerland have come up with TapType, an interesting text input method that relies purely on a pair of wrist-worn devices, that sense acceleration values when the wearer types on any old surface. estimates that the device could run for up to a year on a single battery.Ĭontinue reading “Check Your Mailbox Using The AirTag Infrastructure” → Posted in Mac Hacks, Wireless Hacks Tagged AirTag, apple, Apple AirTag, bluetooth, bluetooth low energy, Find My, nRF51, nRF51822, OpenHaystack, tracker ![]() ![]() Every time someone with a FindMy-friendly iPhone passes by ’s mailbox, he gets an update on its status, with a counter of times the sensor has been triggered. For the incoming mail detection, he uses a simple vibration sensor, glued to the flap lid – we imagine that, for flap-less mailboxes, an optical sensor or a different kind of mechanical sensor could be used instead. This project uses a cheap generic CR2032-powered NRF51822 board, sending the mailbox status over the FindMy system Apple has built for the AirTag devices. just made this problem trivial for the vast majority of hackers, with the FakeTag project – piggybacking off the Apple’s AirTag infrastructure. ![]() ![]() For example, here’s a question that many a hacker has pondered – how do you detect when someone puts mail into your mailbox? Depending on the availability of power and wireless/wired connectivity options, this problem can range from “very easy” to “impractical to solve”. When a company creates an infrastructure of devices, we sometimes subvert this infrastructure and use it to solve tricky problems. ![]()
