It's cool that they also have a ready docker image with their building toolchain. Setting up a dev environment for a C project can be cumbersome otherwise.

Our goal so to make easy to use Vscode + PlatformIO environment, without depends on any virtualisation.

So what you're saying is, I can buy a flipper (or use the same frequencies) to detect other flippers as a defense?

This seems like a weird feature to build in to a covert ops tool.

No, it's just optional feature to play with, not implemented yet. And you will need to manually activate it like a Bluetooth discovery.
