Ordinary WiFi networks could quietly become powerful surveillance tools, allowing people to be identified without cameras, special sensors, or even carrying a connected device. Researchers showed that unencrypted signals routinely exchanged between WiFi devices and routers can be used to create radio-based images of people and recognize them within seconds. In tests involving 197 participants, the system identified individuals with nearly 100% accuracy, even from different angles and regardless of how they walked.
I don’t want to convert to the Amish. But, we are definitely reaching a point where I’d like to revert to… Idk. Late 1990-2000s, maybe early 2010 technology. And ditch all this AI, surveillance bs of the late 2010-2020s!!!
Yep, 08 ish was peak. Now tech is shit.
Idk man, I can play pc games on my phone, and they run really good. Or better yet, PS2 games run like a hot-damn emulated on my phone, so instead of lugging my PS2 everywhere I just put a controller in my bag and I can play Colosseum: Road to Freedom any damn where I want!
True emulation is fun, but soon phones will all be locked down by google/apple, plus they’re total spyware. I’d rather not have them.
Old pixels with graphene will only last so long, new future phones won’t allow it.
Are fairphone locking down their bootloader? Hadn’t heard anything about it
Yeah, I’d love for Linux phones to be actually 100% usable, I’d be gone from android so fast…
I ordered my jolla phone. Let’s hope that’s a better future.
I mean thats great and I love games but not enough to pay for the corpo tracking devices.
New Wave Amish
yeah tech wise kinda peaked before the 20teens. that being said the corpo thing has me wanting to go back to pre computer. eff em. where I am really going is gpl or bust.
