That makes sense. I assume these exotic ability’s require precise control of the radios. So, for now, until an API made, we should be safe.

Suddenly your new dishwasher sends your health protocols to your doc. The fancy toilet helped with a consistency analysis and your smart lamps add a sleeping protocol.

Apps watch how we move/rotate devices to understand whether we’re walking, resting, lying down, etc., I assume? (The most popular apps I mean with large data teams)

Wish that stuff could be turned off unless it was e.g. a game that made legitimate use of the accelerometer.

Care to explain what you mean? Are you saying you can run fiber in your house? Doesn't that still require some form of equipment from an ISP to actually go out to the internet?

Hence wifi 7.

Turns out the tinfoil hat gang was right the whole time.

Own the network. Run OSS.

That's about it.

Your neighbors WIFI signals are too weak to matter in this case. Even if they were strong enough, this is a receiver-transmitter setup, so it would still be impossible to do unless you connect to their network. Even then, they’d have to assume you’re the only person present between the transmitter and the receiver.

Presence detection through WIFI was already garbage enough, this one is plain unusable.

Wear an aluminum foil vest and a Faraday suit. Burn your computer after reading, I've said too much....

Put the house in a faraday cage?

What?

It has nothing to do with that. This is about privacy and data security.

oh yes it still is

robo voice: There are 352 hot, single women in your area.

"Opening the pod bay doors"

People do not have that distinct cardiac ECG profiles, and it would be wrong after one coffee.

Holy shit the US state paranoia in the sub. Buy more guns.

That's quite high.

I was referencing digital price labels that retailers are installing.

This technology is being touted by the companies putting them in place to be a cost saving measure as staff no longer need to print new labels and manually replace them for products on the shelf. This is true in that it is a benefit of digital labelling, however there are many other usage options that could be implemented after installation.

• alter prices around lunch hour for ready meals and snacks at retailers in walking distance to secondary schools
• automatic increases for products being purchased more rapidly than historical averages to capitalize on a yet unknown trend
• increases simply as stock begins running low

Imagine in a few years when this technology is combined with network snooping of phone identification, loyalty rewards card purchase histories, and automatic buying of customer information from data brokers, all to create a profile that predicts when a person would be likely to be menstruating and the moment they walk in the store, the hygienic products they buy every month raise in price by 30%.

It's a bleak future I'm afraid.

I saw demos online where they could also determine heart rate through video. The example I saw was a video of a newborn's face.
