I'll just wrap my router in aluminium foil, that'll do it.

Awesome tech, if (and only if) you control it end to end, with no corporation involved in that process.
That's why you buy your own router.
I'm using chromecast for streaming to my television. But I accidentally cut my internetcord and guess what doesn't work without internet eventhough it doesn't strictly need internet? Exactly, I'm getting rid of the chromecast soon.
When you can. Depending on the country and ISP, using your own router isn't always feasible unless sacrifying most of your bandwidth
When streaming content to a chromecast it usually makes a direct connection to the content source, not going through the device you're casting from. In limited cases like when sharing your screen to the chromecast it does only go from your device to the chromecast without internet, but that's rarely used because it's power and data intensive to your device. I guess you're right on the internet not being 'strictly' needed but it's used for a reason.
Should still buy your own router though, and move away from google services 👍
All this is implying is that they are capturing this data anyways and offering you a peek at it for money with the guise that its for your safety.
There is likely no way for you to shut it off tracking you everywhere in your own home unless you pay them to access the settings for this feature.
They likely can track you behaviors with this and know when you take a shit, when you jerk-off/fuck your spouse, when you watch media, etc using machine-learning on the wifi specrum of your locations, signal shape, and duration.
Fuck this crazy invasive shit to piss.
Ask for just a plain modem and buy your own WiFi router. If that isn't an option, disable the routing functions and turn off the WiFi and buy your own router.
You cant use xfinitys fastest internet plan without using their hardware these days.
Any open source implementations of this?
Yeah this has been around for some time now, here's a paper on the implementation of it.
I'm guessing it assumes you're carrying your phone and infers motion from changes in the signal?
Or just uses the phone connecting and disconnecting to signal departure and arrival, in which case Home Assistant has done that for awhile now.
It seems to be using the WiFi signal to “scan” you
Or don't! (at extra cost)
With only one payment you can allow us to invade your privacy... Even more than we already do.
Pretty sure it’s, “with one more monthly payment, we will give you some insight into a small price of information we already know “
yeah im like. oh they are collecting it but if you pay they will give you a copy.
Pretty sure this was mentioned in Cryptonomicon (1999).
Reminds me of The Dark Knight when Batman activates something similar using cell signals.
We really ought to stop fucking creating the Torment Nexus, jfc.
I believe this is what you're referring to
So I guess those directional MIMO arrays can now give information back to the host controller. That is kinda creepy but also it could be super useful in the right circumstances.
Device-free passive localization has been around for over 15 years.
She kinda bad tho
Alert: the Wi-Fi has detected high-waisted mom jeans.
colonel im trying to infiltrate a home but the clap of my asscheeks keeps being detected by the wifi signal
