What do you guys think about this?
Yes. Last summer I sold Residential Fiberoptic Internet access. One of the main selling points was the “wireless mesh system”. It was 3-6 pods placed inside of your home and an optional phone app. The system could be set up and enabled to tell you if there was movement when no person living there was home.
The manufacturer was Plume.
a) well that’s fucking terrifying
b) did they really end that with an ad for baby cameras? Or was that a blank ad fill-in-the-blank thing?
Great, now I have to cover my walls in tin foil like that guy from Better Call Saul.
The fact they’re able to do this is no surprise to me. The fact they’re able to do this on very easily accessible equipment to that degree of accuracy is scary impressive.
While this obviously has huge consequences for privacy, the part that concerns me most is its usage in development of deep fakes. I worry about the consequences of no longer being able to distinguish real video evidence from deliberate manipulation.
There’s actually a lot of crazy shit you can do with EMF.
Look up Van Eck Phreaking. The theory was developed on CRT monitors but can be used on LCD as well where you use the monitor as a listening device.
Haha theremin go eeeeeeeeeeeeee
How long until people are “randomly” shot inside their houses?
Okay FINE I’ll guess I’ll have to just wire my whole house with Ethernet.
Openwrt exists
Wasn’t that a known thing already? I mean humans are a moving interference and partially reflect the microwaves, so its kinda obvious that its technically possible to do that… That would btw likely work with Radio waves as well, probably harder however, because they cover more area and therefore have more background noise.
I think the main difference is how ubiquitous these wifi signals are and the fact that the signal is very homogeneous, allowing for the ai patterns to work on a large scale.
