Being Wifi / Bluetooth and speakers available in most desktop / laptop devices I wonder if Google nearby could be used in Desktop or even web applications running locally and offline? (No internet connection but Wifi / BT / speakers enabled)
Thanks!
Unfortunately this is not currently supported. The chrome.copresence API used to provide some of this functionality, but it is being removed for performance reasons.

I want to monitor some apps trough android emulator and Charles Proxy/Burp Suite/HTTP Toolkit... Although, those apps aren't starting (probably by detecting Charles Proxy etc).
How can I monitor their requests without actually getting blocked? Is there any way to bypass that protection?
I have a raspberry pi in my local wifi network. Also I bought smart socket which can be integrated with Alexa or Google Home Assistant. What is a best option to turn the socket on/off from my raspberry?
I thought about installing alexa or google home assistant on the raspberry and somehow use one of these to control my socket. However I don't want to do that by voice but simply a bash script.
It is possible to control the local wifi device with a bash script. You can use ifconfig to bring an interface up/down and configure it accordingly. But, it also depends on the integration of the smart socket with Alexa/Assistant, whether the manufacturer provides their own API endpoints for you to use or whether the user interacts through Assistant/Alexa. If you are using Google Assistant, you can leverage automations on Google Home App to control the device automatically.
I have a website that loads perfectly on various browsers on Windows Laptop, Android and Fire OS. The same site refuses to load on a Safari on an iPhone.
It is an angular application. While I see the index.html load, the angular does not load. I need to debug to figure out what is happening. I only have a Windows 10 laptop. How can I debug the website running on Safari on an iPhone from my Windows 10 laptop?
If you only have a windows laptop, you will need an online service like browserstack. There is no way around this. Physical Iphones can only be debugged with Safari, running on physical Mac desktops or laptops. Browserstack is a subscription service, but it will be a lot cheaper than buying the hardware.

Building and debugging websites and web applications for mobile devices can be a hassle. On the desktop we have powerful debugging tools; most browsers have a web inspector of some kind. But we don’t have those tools for devices like the iPhone and iPad … that is, until now!

I wrote an app which runs on two android tablets at the same time. The app enables both devices to communicate with a java server which is running on the pc, via WLAN socket communication.
The problem with the WLAN connection is that it doesn't always seem to be reliable. So I wanted to setup a socket communication to the server via USB cables.
My problem no is how to connect TWO android devices to the server via USB cables. I found this tutorial for connecting ONE device to the server via ADB, but I see no possibility using this approach for two devices:

Has anyone an idea how to solve it? Thanks!
If your tablet is runs ICS or newer Android OS, then it is very likely that it has OTG capable micro-USB socket, and you can add a USB-Ethernet dongle, and then connect the 2 tablets to your PC over ethernet, instead of USB. This, might be the most elegant solution.
Of course, you'd need a switch (or hub) to connect them together. Also note that, not all USB-Ethernet dongles may work out-of-the-box. You might have to experiment with few models, especially the el-cheapo ones to get them to work.
I would like to develop an Android app which would run on
Blackberry PlayBook. App would need to find other
devices on the local network running the same app.
I was thinking to implement Bonjour / Zeroconf / jmDNS
protocol for finding devices but ...
i just learned that android permission
android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE
is not supported on Blackberry or PlayBook. (Preference is
needed for jmDND (Bonjour) protocol to work.)
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/apisupport/
Can you give me some suggestions what would be the best way
to achieve this on PlayBook. Are there any alternatives?
Is Bonjour possible if building with native SDK or Adobe AIR?
Unfortunately, there is no native support for Bonjour / Zeroconf on PlayBook yet, check this thread
You can try mDNS Service Discovery at Blackberry world.
Here is copy of description:
mDNS Service Discovery is based on the Avahi open source project. It is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network via the mDNS/DNS-SD protocol suite. This enables you to plug your laptop or computer into a network and instantly be able to view other people who you can chat with, find printers to print to or find files being shared. Compatible technology is found in Apple MacOS X (branded Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf).
The source code is available on the BlackBerry GitHub portal.
mDNS Service Discovery is a part of PlayCloud application - used to find printers.
