Apple should embrace this fully and create their own decentralized network
- moshmosh 5y agoI don't want traffic that doesn't provide some pretty serious benefit to me with very low resource use (as Find My does) to use my phone('s battery).
- paxys 5y agoIt is only decentralized if the entire world is covered in Apple devices every few meters. At the moment they are simply extensions to a nearby router or cell tower.
- idiotsecant 5y ago>It is only decentralized if the entire world is covered in Apple devices every few meters. Give it a few decades...
- jtbayly 5y agoI don't think that universal coverage is a requirement for something to be decentralized. Am I missing something?
- hervature 5y agoYes, I think they meant to say useful.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoLike Amazon Sidewalk?

I remember looking at meshtastic for a mesh wireless network and they're still working on a solution for a large number of nodes covering a large area: https://meshtastic.org/docs/software/other/mesh-alg https://meshtastic.org/docs/software/other/mesh-alg
