News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may apply
If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

YAY!
No seriously stop inventing these systems. Like what positive outcome could there be but mass surveillance and attacks on peoples.
Is that not what is funding the invention of these features though?
I guess my point is what right minded person would volunteer their time and expertise to create tools like thls
Graduate students fishing for grant money implying that this has some kind of real world usecase. (It's nonsense)
someone who is offered a large salary usually, same reason people work at lockheed martin
People who need to eat, I guess :(
Serious answer?
mmwave sensors are a gift for home-automation
Twist: We can also be tracked by how we stop light...
not if you just run all the reds
this one made me feel immensely better about this bs, thank you for posting
Its 2020, the year two thousand.
We are robots.
We can track humans via the unique way cancer cells disrupt Wi-Fi signals.
Too bad we haven't found a good way to detect or cure cancer.
8G signals can scan the human body based primarily on the amount of HIV virus.
Anyway, we're still far away from a cure but we can tell if you have HIV thru our illness app.
Welp, time to start wearing clothes with movable wifi blocking patches in them, I guess...
privacy preserving bio modality? Privacy? PRIVACY??? YOURE USING WIFI TO PINPOINT PEOPLE'S POSITION, WHICH PART OF THIS IS "PRIVACY"?
It tracks the location of a body (or anything else that causes the same sort if interference), but it doesn't identify the person, and as such they can reasonably make the claim that this technology is privacy preserving.
Of course, as with anything that claims to anonymise data, or preserve privacy, that assertion starts to fall down when you use the resulting data in conjunction with other data sources, even if they too claim to be privacy preserving.
We all know where this is going. Oh well, guess we need Faraday suits now.
I wonder if underpowering a wifi frequency jammer and keeping it in your pocket would let wifi still work but break this sort of 'vision'
Goddamn, every day it's a new nightmare. I just want out. Babies born now will never know what it was like to be a free-ish human.
The tech has been around for a few years https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wi-fi-routers-used-to-detect-human-locations-poses-within-a-room
The WiFi tracking tech is not too new, but re-identification of subjects is. That is, instead of the shopping centre having to build up their own database to profile you, they can just match your unique biomarker to a external data broker's database, supposedly.
a biomarker data broker, the future is grim
Waiting for the invention what, when, and where-fi.
Expressing my 10th frustrated sighof the day
Honestly, this sounds like a company with no real product trying to fleece law enforcement and government officials who are already drunk on the power of surveillance.
Sure and I heard you can listen to conversations that happened in rooms by measuring the slow liqufaction of the glass in the windows
Finally, a use for my lead paint spattered coverall
