How ZuckOff Uses BLE Fingerprints to Detect Camera Glasses Nearby

·1 views

Camera glasses don't wait for permission to announce themselves. Every time a pair of Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, or Snap Spectacles is in Bluetooth range, it sends out a BLE advertisement packet with a manufacturer ID, a short number baked into the chip. If you know which IDs belong to which glasses, you can build an app that listens for those packets and tells you when camera-capable hardware is nearby. That is exactly what ZuckOff does. It is a free iOS and Android app by Pawel Szydlowski, a Polish developer who bought several pairs of camera glasses, captured their Bluetooth traffic, and bu

Nobody in our app ever sees the Stripe customer portal, and four verbs are the reason

SQL Transactions

SQL Transactions A deep-dive walkthrough of database transactions — covering the ACID properties as precise, individually meaningful guarantees, BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK mechanics and savepoints, isolation levels and the specific concurrency anomalies (dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, phantom reads) each one prevents or permits, locking and how it underlies isolation, deadlocks and how to reduce them, the write-ahead transaction log as the mechanism behind durability, the real costs of long-running transactions, and how all of this maps onto EF Core's SaveChanges and explicit transaction APIs.
