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.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can’t live in peace can I
There is no privacy anywhere
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.
Imagine Amazon or Google working out which devices in your home are static, then using them to map out your household with their built in wifi.
Yes I am worried about that too , but what we can do about it? The more I think about this the less I feel the power to do something against surveillance and what it get into my nerve the most is that the big majority of people just dont care that every day we are losing privacy and our freedom. Just look at the UK trying to pass a bill to have backdoor on encrypted communications.
I guess you could design every room as its own faraday cage with separate access points against this specific threat.
Okay FINE I’ll guess I’ll have to just wire my whole house with Ethernet.
Openwrt exists
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
Great, now I have to cover my walls in tin foil like that guy from Better Call Saul.
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?
I got the same ads, so I’m assuming it’s related to the content.
That’s very creepy
So, no privacy? Now we need rooms with build in faraday cages which make it even more suspicious.
There is a lot of other fun stuff you can do with RF, some people even found a way to spy on keystrokes by sending microwaves at an unmodified PS/2 keyboard cable.
How about USB? I haven’t used PS/2 for a long while.
How long until people are “randomly” shot inside their houses?
Privacy stuff aside what do you think the use case gonna be?
-
Motion tracking without the suit and stuff so we can get easier time capturing motion of an animal for cgi and game.
-
Security system for cctv blind spot
Batman’s sonar glasses.

@randomguy2323 @privacy It’s only a gimmick, for now. Notice they had to use multiple access points and receivers and calibrate the system based on the room it was in.
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.
Yeah - in article, it reads the resolution of data is significantly higher.
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.
