Standardized NEMA sockets let municipalities add cameras and air sensors to existing poles with no public vote or new hardware
i turn off my WiFi everytime I leave home. this prevents my phone from broadcasting my saved WiFi networks. therefore public WiFis can not identify me via that list.
can you explain to be why that isn’t a viable option?
Unless we are talking about a different “wifi radar” here, it doesn’t need you to have wifi on your person to track you, the radio waves being emitted by the wifi device (like a router) are being tracked and they can tell where you are and where you are going based on the interference your meat creates. If they have a “wifi radar” on every street light in your city, they could just literally “watch” you from the moment you leave your house. You could be completely tech naked and wearing a full body suit and a mask, but at some point you still had to leave your house, and chances are they can figure out who lives at that address.
thank you for educating me
that’s very interesting

But you understand how radar works right? Well Wifi is just radar that won’t burst your eardrums.
Turning of YOUR wifi does NOTHING.
