FaceTiming without Apple... I tested whether consumer apps like FaceTime, Signal, WhatsApp, and Zoom work on an off-grid HaLow mesh network with zero internet. The key discovery: FaceTime and Signal connect peer-to-peer if they can find each other on any local network - Apple's servers aren't in the loop.

The climax was a two-car highway test where Emilia and I held a FaceTime call at 70 mph, bridged only by Haven nodes and sub-gigahertz antennas. The conclusion: the "loophole" isn't a hack - it's the original peer-to-peer design we forgot about once we handed the internet to five companies.
