This shits already used by xfinity
Well, that’s quite different, it didn’t identify anyone
I was having a nice day :(
Yes, according to your wifi fingerprint, you had.

Great, another dystopian way for authorities to observe me on the shitter
Your poo time has expired and your pay is docked. Flushing will cost 50 dollars for the next week. Get back to work
You get poo time? That's socialism!
All time is poo time when you're close to the boss's desk
Ironically, a tin foil hat would probably work to prevent that kind of surveillance
A faraday hat.
wouldn’t that make it worse? basically any signal can bounce off you, making yourself even easier to track.
edit: wording
Since it 'figerprints' you, changing your fingerprint by blocking parts of the signal with pieces of foil doesn't seem like a terrible idea.
Now, the question is: is such a tactic like wearing gloves, or like using super glue?
The tracking happens even with a big reflector/scatterer on your head, but as long as you dont wear it regularly, the system would have difficulty identifying you from wave propagation alone
So wear many different hats. Got it.
Many different items of tinfoil clothing. Tinfoil shirt today, tinfoil codpiece for the weekend
I mean, wouldn't you anyway? You don't wear your good Sunday tinfoil hat to work. That one's for church and swinger club visits only!
I'm generally pro research, but occasionally I come across a body of research and wish I could just shut down what they're doing and rewind the clock to before that started.
There is no benefit of this for the common person. There is no end user need or product for being able to identify individuals based on their interactions with WiFi signals. The only people that benefit from this are large corporations and governments and that's from them turning it on you.
Continued research will ease widespread surveillance and mass tracking. That's not a good thing.
Chuck vindicated. What a chicanery.
That's a very unique fingerprint he's got.
"Hey boss come look. This microwave is walking around again"
accurate matches up to 95.5% of the time
and they’re more privacy-preserving than visual images
Oh fuck all the way off.
My thought exactly. Their definition of privacy is... interesting
When anyone or anything says that their product works "up to x%" I always presume it doesn't really work at all.
Christ, 1% is included in that "up to 95.5%" vague bullshit statement.
I've seen some article recently that the patterns of Wi-Fi/Bluetooth (don't remember which one) interference with brainwaves can be scanned to reconstruct brainwave signature remotely, meaning that it might be possible to scan anyone's EEG from Wi-Fi/Bluetooth distance. And there are some AI advancements for reconstructing inner monologue from EEG. So maybe we're not so far from actual remote mind-reading.
You had non work related thoughts on three separate occasions last week. Please report to HR for attitude adjustment.
Stilsuits: get it for the unbearable heat as we turn the Earth into a desert, now with wifi blocking!
Someone’s going to use this to drop missiles on “baddies” with their sleeping families in 3 2 1
they're more privacy-preserving than visual images.
hhhhwat. How can they identify you and also be privacy preserving? 🤔
It's all AI. You should not worry about it. In fact you should not think about it. All is going to be fine.
Let me know when I can selfhost LibreFi Security on my router and use it for myself. Sounds great for private home use.
ALERT ALERT ALERT
Sorry dude I forgot to add your bio signature to my WiFi router.
Neat. Good luck protecting yourself from this.
On the other hand, I’m seriously considering opening an Etsy shop selling foil-lined clothes. I’m pretty good at sewing. What do you think?
