Or have to go through great lengths to escape.
In my country you can’t buy any medicine without showing your ID… I mean, you technically can, but if you are registered they “give” like an 80% discount, so everyone thinks it’s a great deal, not realizing that’s the normal price, they are just pretending you can still go and buy a simple cold medicine without sharing your ID, phone, email, and street address with the drug store and whoever they decide to sell that information to, you just have to pay absurdly more. Yeah, you can lie about all the other information, but not really about your ID number. Probably soon, to get the “discount”, you are going to have to verify your email or phone number as well.
There’s an intersection like that near me (android auto always drops). I haven’t figured out what’s causing it though. Haven’t spotted a Flock camera there. There’s some down the road, but none that I’ve noticed at the intersection. There are what look like the normal traffic cams there. I too wonder if it’s something that’s purposely forcing disconnections so devices start broadcasting SSIDs/MAC info or something like that.
I mean forcing a reconnect to capture the handshake is exactly how I used to speed up WIFI cracking back in college. You would need that to break in a car’s wifi in the time it’s at a red light.
