To clarify, i reread, and the article does say they are buying the data from Fog Data. I’ve read elsewhere that Fog Data logs location data from installed apps using location services. I don’t know if that’s the only method Fog Data uses. If it is, turning off location services should significantly impair this approach. Airplane mode would not, though it would probably prevent radio triangulation like you describe.

My comment was that there are a lot of ways that phones record location data, and no single countermeasure stops all of them. In addition to apps using location services, the phones themselves track you in a lot of different ways. For example iPhones continuously monitor and log location data even when the phone is off. They use BTLE mesh when other methods are unavailable.

The article doesn’t say what methods the police in NV are using, so it might be effective against that particular approach, but in general, airplane mode doesn’t prevent phone tracking.

Is this just more money for Palantir?

It pairs nicely with the artificial exhaust rumble that comes through the speakers.

That seems logical, but I’m sure the courts don’t intend for us normies to enjoy reciprocal rights. If the ruling doesn’t already say so, they’ll fix it soon.

Honestly… I’m surprised to see it’s commemorating the police instead of the dead terrorist. I didn’t have high hopes when I clicked the link.

Haven’t we been all year?

Its a disingenuous argument based on the implication that the stuff you want to hide is criminal or immoral.

The reality is that everybody has stuff to hide. Anyone that makes this statement… ask them for their bank login and password.

I don’t know much about batteries and charging, but I do know a thing or two about bold pre-product claims at CES press events.

"It’s more likely they will put a disclaimer on their website: “not for use in California.”

Good.

I love my home; but this stupid fucking nanny state has gotten so far out of hand. We know where the pedophiles are. We don’t need more surveillance to find them. We know where they are.

You gotta figure that today’s white house visit was for Ted to kiss the ring and pay the bribe. Probably at least one of those didn’t happen.

For starters, I have plenty to hide. No honest person uses that fallacious argument.

The fallacy of the argument is that it presumes anything I have to hide must be illegal. But of course that’s not true.

Cartoonish is Elon’s brand identity.

Probably pretty soon we’re going to get the evidence that he fucked his own kids too, and the MAGA world will still defend him on that one too.

Beyond Apple and Google collecting it, there are thousands of apps people install that ask for location information that sell the data. Companies like Anomaly 6 claim that they get location data on over 3 billion of handsets from app-based location tracking.

On the article headline… it’s a huge enhancement to the capabilities we’ve already known. We’ve known for some time that phones can be passively tracked based on the saved Wifi networks they attempt to auto-connect to. This development suggests we can track humans (not electronics) based on the observed disturbance the human meat causes to the wifi signal. If it works and is as accurate as the researchers claim (something I’d be suspicious of), that’s a pretty big deal.

Same. I only knew them as a co-brand on the 80s-90s Ford Broncos. I’m pretty far from their target demo, whatever it is.

Are you suggesting that Discord didn’t have any technical means to detect and ban that activity before? And that having face scans of some users not only gives them that ability, but it’s the most reasonable and sensible way to achieve it?

Lotta Stockholm Syndrome in that blog.

In California we enacted Prop 65, which requires business to tell you when the business or product exposes you to cancer causing chemicals. The result was that every business and every product now has prop 65 warning labels. The warning itself immediately became meaningless, and now we’re left with a compliance regime and no consumer benefit.

Hopefully New York can learn from California’s foolishness and not just end up with an AI warning on every article.
