The question is "could I" and not "will it work?" The answer is you could. And in fact given the wide variations of such schemes it may or may not work. No one will be able to tell you except the department that runs the network. But could you connect such a thing? Yes.

Since it's just a sketch. You need to meet with the usual board of physicians to get them to tell you it's OK or not. Folk's lives will depend on this and since it's an app that you wrote you have to tread carefully. That is, write your procedure document, design the screens, the questions and the decision tree. Once it's all in paper or say a PDF then your board or physiciams gives it go ahead.

I've seen folk want to write medical apps but get wiped out over the work you do before you code.

I worry that you want others to write your code. Maybe in a for hire post you could ask that but here you share your code and point out where you are stuck and members tackle the issues.

Since I don't want to leave you with nothing, why not look at prior examples as you build your app?

Let me share why I won't. Let's start wtih losses. Last year even with 71 million uses, CNBC notes that the company posted a $1.5 billion loss in 2017. And prior years didn't fare much better.

This may be hard to grasp but this cash raise is so those with shares now (company or people) can cash out and the new shareholders are left holding the bag. Not nice is it?

So if you are a Spotify exec, this is great news.

Since you got the report for free it appears that the results are indeed free.

As to understanding this report, I'll give you the answer for line 1. That's the first line of an ASCII graphic that follows on for a few lines. It's just for looks and to understand it you may have to move back another foot to see they made an ASCII graphic of their product name.

As to the rest, next time don't dump the entire report. Be specific to what line you wanted more thoughts about.

Finally I'm sure they offer support for a fee like most good companies do. The question becomes "Is it worth paying for?" For those that are just learning about the subject at hand, that can be a simple yes.

Parting note: This seems eerily similar to your post at https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/515767/amp-accelerated-mobile-pages That is, you seem to have yet again found something on the web.

I'm going with no. There is no such thing. Do you need to get into why?

For example the URL is human readable and shows up in almost all browsers so you can't hide that. So that can be copied.
Any file that can be read from a drive for execution is automatically open for copying.

I could go on but I see you're a long time member and why dash your ideas like this?

-> If these are tools for learnings wouldn't a teacher supply them to all the children?

Example: Ol' Musky shares the patents for a lot of his car inventions. Why?

"If we're all in a ship together," Musk said, "and the ship has some holes in it, and we're sort of bailing water out of it, and we have a great design for a bucket, then even if we're bailing out way better than everyone else, we should probably still share the bucket design."

If these are great learning tools, share the wealth.

This area can upset folk. That is, if we break the VPN like this, it's not really a VPN but more of a proxy. That out of the way, some routers let you setup your LAN to VPN to where you wish. But breaking the VPN is well, another thing altogether.

To date I've kept the VPN true and don't accept such breakage to be acceptable and call it a VPN.

But as we see when reading priors at https://www.google.com/search?q=local+lan+access+when+using+VPN to break this (or some may calling fixing it) what you use for VPN matters as each system varies.

Frankly this may be a case of accuracy versus costs. Item 4 for example may be low value. Why do any of this for targets the user has little interest in? That and the time to travel 5 KM versus 5.1 KM has little need to be accurate. You could after some runs loosen up on accuracy and lump everything into loose categories of time like "under 5 minutes away" to other groups. Being accurate will be costly.

Hi, I'm an old hand at old school RS232 links. The most common reason for jibberish is the terminal speed doesn't match what the sender is using.

I admit I won't answer this directly but let's figure out first what happens with and without the forward slash. I'll defer to

OK, that's a good clue how you might handle this. Since no slash forces a redirect, that's my clue to see how Django redirects. For that you have to scour your Django docs. Like this one: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/redirects/

I think you've battled this before. My encounters with this has always been problems with filenames that are OK on the server but not allowed on FAT32. To sort this out I have to find a title that didn't sync and then see if some FAT32 rule was broken.

That's what HP spun off. Right or wrong the king (long live the king?) of analyzers we used was the venerable HP 8510, B, C etx.

So here's the quick setup. Select the input range from say 2 to 3 GHz and of course setup some antenna to the input. Now let it sweep.
You'll see a ton of spikes in the 2.4GHz range. Now zoom in on those spikes and you get more spikes. Now keep scanning and eventually you'll get a new spike. That tells you something new came into range. Doesn't tell you much more than that yet.

To get more will require a lot more hardware.

So back to less expensive ideas. The Bluetooth discovery you know about and its limits. There's also good old packet sniffing. You could look into WireShark and see what you can divine from that.

Finally the newish fake cell phone tower emulators. Google up Stingray to learn what that is.

Nothing cheap, small or easy to use for this question.

AssertNull commented: Let's try this again +0
rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Thanks Assertnull.

I do own a lightweight device that detects WIF signals but it's quite dumb and is not as interesting as WiFi is almost everywhere. It certainly won't tell you if the source was Android or other.

As to the BLUETOOTH, I will call that cooperative discovery. But it fails to reveal if the device is Android, some PC with what OS or an old dumb flip phone. It only tells you that some device had Bluetooth discovery turned on.

Passive discovery has to be spectrum analyzer then that put through analysis to categorize "what is it?" With many devices sleeping or in low power mode most of the time this would be costly to develop.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Then go ask about spectrum analyzers and how these are used to detect RF emissions passively. I consider myself lucky as I worked in the defense industry then commercial industrial controls and more. Today I'm on a team writing Android and other apps.

The only thing I worry about here is someone thinking that what you asked for would fit in your hat or pocket. We're not that small yet.

This is why for device tracking the device to be tracked cooperates. Otherwise you are looking at passive detection.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Where have you seen such a thing? My background was in defense where we would have passive sensing but I would be guessing what you are thinking here. Share what this sensing would be based on and what gear would be used.

For example one could set up a spectrum analyzer to detect all sorts of RF and then use a "what's different" to detect an active device come into the area and leave. But a sleeping device would emit so little that this would be iffy at best.

Let's hear what science you think would used for this.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

This sort of plea is not unusual. That is I read it across forums so I take it you either posted widely and didn't like the answer or just didn't find them.

Anyhow, you can not be a passive user of this technology today. You must be able to get your stuff on backups (more than one, because stuff fails) and then if you suspect an intruder be ready to factory reset anything suspect.

Almost all spy software will not survive that.
