Or go to more civilized countries for vacation to get not backdoored hardware.

Die shrinks effect long term durability. We passed that point around 10-14nm

From OPs linked article...

In tests involving 197 participants, the researchers said the system identified individuals with nearly 100% accuracy. The recognition remained effective regardless of viewing angle or how the participants walked.

that's a trivial problem to solve. combine this with a camera for facial recognition in a public space. then you've got wifi signature combined with the photo/video for facial recognition. then presumably you can use the WiFi signature anywhere else, even without the camera and be able to identify people.

Damn, I thought I called it 8 months ago, but that was about reading heart rates using wifi...

No cameras (total privacy)

Seems not for long...

It would be amazing to not have to deploy a network of esp32s to do it with Bluetooth.

Although I'm already putting one in each room.

Probably just need a protocol to work with the data, however it can be interfaced with. Is it just measuring signal strength via speed over time?

that's not a sufficient fix when you are living very close to other households

these are not just motion sensors. these are much more accurate than that.

Wrap it in aluminum foil.

Whilst this sounds a lot like a foil hat joke, that's literally the easiest way to wrap something in a conductive material cage (i.e. a faraday cage).

If you don't want it to look ridiculous, put it inside a box whose inside has been lined with aluminum foil.

Mind you, personally I too would just cancel that shit, but the option is there to carry on using it whilst blocking its radio emissions.

This was fiber, if that makes a difference. I asked the install guy, he called his boss, because no one had asked him that before. He told me "no, it's not allowed". Also, I tried plugging the patch cable directly into my own wifi router and nothing.

It's a "costs extra feature" for the customer. But, they have access to it regardless of whether it's "turned on". It's never turned off for them. And, if that puts me in tin-foil hat territory, so be it.

WiFi jamming underpants.

Necessary accessory called cyberBra for that real car hood look

Well you can't stop it from knowing something is there. But you should be able to confuse it's identification of a specific person.

Or just DIY using tinfoil

That is extremely cool, thank you.

It's not too different from what I can tell. They seem to just exploit the fact that beamforming information (BFI) is transmitted back to the access point. BFI is ultimately not so different from CSI. What they exploit is that they can just listen in and intercept the BSI without access to the AP.

The need for a constant signal to scan movement is a good point. Makes sense that nearby wifi devices can't just be sitting there, they have to be actively transmitting to the router or there's no signal for the target to interfere with. I must have gotten CSI and wifi scanning confused. Tbh I'm not even sure why CSI is in the article except for history, but I found the principle fascinating. In your research did you turn the intererence into anything like a heat map of a person standing in the room, or is it more of a signal fingerprint, like chromatography or spectrography?

Wouldn't a microwave causing significant interference also be a sign of a very faulty, potentially unsafe microwave? If it's bathing your environment with microwaves, you're cooking to some degree. I know a 2.4 GHz router is using microwaves too, but restricted to much lower power. I'd be very suspicious of an oven that's leaking enough to interfere with my signals since you don't know how strong the leaking microwaves are and they may in fact be harmful. I imagine someone standing in front of their microwave watching it operate, cooking their eyeballs as they wait.

inert meaning not a wifi device.

The statement from the article was the unlike previously, they used current consumer equipment, and could uniquely identify a specific person. I believe previous versions could just identify that there was "A" person. I don’t know that all that is true, but it is what the article says, and my vague memories line up.

Sensing is officially going to be part of 6G, might not be deployed everywhere, but it's going to be in the standard.

Faraday cage, it's going to be a hassle to wiremesh your entire apartment, and you can forget using a mobile phone inside of it, but there are no outside signals getting in that way.

Especially if they've been opening all those videos I've sent

Uh-oh, Trump just put a yuge tariff on Chinese tinfoil.

I'm sure you fuck good or will one day if you haven't already.
