There's no way the cheap Chinese piece of shit router I bought 10 years ago contains the specialty hardware necessary to detect minor fluctuations in signals, record those fluctuations in memory banks it doesn't have, process those fluctuations with CPU power it doesn't have, or send that data to an external 3rd party with firmware I never installed on it.
With the level of access necessary to make something like work, they could just sneak into your house and plant hidden cameras everywhere instead.
yes but are you really doubting this will happen sooner rather than later? add 6g 7g + AI chips into new phones and probably every single electronic device.
it will happen, you know it.
You wanna know something else that's creepy.... Modern fingerprint scanners that unlock your phone.
My old one used to be a little disc that read the electrical signals on your finger and got your print that way.
Then I got a new phone and the fingerprint scanner was embedded in the screen. I tried looking up how it actually works, and guess what.
It's a camera. There's now an invisible camera embedded behind your screen, and it takes pictures of your finger to determine what your prints are.
Can it be used to spy on you? There's an app you can download that lets you see what the camera sees, and yes, it can see you clearly.
So what does that mean? They've started making phones with hidden cameras that you can't put tape over now, cause the tape would be right in the middle of your touch screen...
Pretty sinister shit.
You already carry a camera and microphone around in your pocket everywhere you go. They can track everything you do online, and locate you using GPS.
Why on earth would they need to know what pose you're in at any given moment?
I could see this being useful in certain high level espionage scenarios, but for mass surveillance there's nothing they don't already have that gives them better information faster and easier.
