3 months agoRemember how Google’s Find My Network was supposed to be as good or better than Apple’s. We put a tracker in a checked bag. Couldn’t track it from once we lost sight till when it was 10 feet from me.
This reminds me of when a coworker wrote a protocol around sending encrypted messages back and forth inside of gchat to control another PC.
The reason was that: our company firewall doesn’t let stuff go in directly, but we have internet.
I thought that was a nutty tos violation.
Each system had a Google account and would login and listen for messages from the controller.
