    I feel like there’s probably a way I could do the same thing without Comcrap as a middleman. Anyone written libraries for doing this kind of thing with an openwrt box and a bunch of Linux machines?

      And yes, reading through Xfinity’s privacy policy indicates they do monitor the WiFi motion data, and will share it with law enforcement or other third parties without notifying you.

      🙁

    Not only is this a threat to your privacy but can impact your helath, as over-exposure to EMF has been linked to anxiety, fatigue, cancer, and many other bio-markers of poor health.

    Oh brother this guy stinks!

    The tech itself is interesting though. Triangulation of users indoors and outdoors is already possible

    Times Square even uses it by offering free Wi-Fi. If a bunch of 50 year old white men connect to the wifi and are in the same spot, they’ll put up a fishing ad or some other shi.

    I’ve always wondered if this sort of tech could scale to 5g towers for mass surveillance purposes
