jesus, 100% accuracy over 197 people? basically the only way to be a private person then would be to live in the woods with no internet
i assume it works similar to an airport scanner if it isnt gait analysis, it measures your actual body. excited to have the anti-trans wifi alarm go off when you try to enter the correct bathroom. also incredibly hard to do crime, maybe there is some sort of way to obfuscate your body to make it look like you have large hips (drag gear!) but wont be detected as clothing
As far as I know the newer Wifi 6 and 7 standards are way better for this so just keeping your old router would make things a lot fuzzier. Also generally the ones that are the best at this radar stuff are also the ones that have trouble going through walls. Plus in public you don't have privacy anyway with cameras everywhere.
Also since this is examining how radio waves bounce around you could literally just add noise to it. Place decorations around the house that make radio waves bounce like crazy. Coat your ceiling fan in radio reflective material for example.
Even if you don't have WiFi, this could easily be paired with a transmitter (WiFi router/AP). You'd need to make your dwelling into a faraday cage.
Nah, these newer wifi standards aren't all that good at going through walls. That's why they can be used to track people because they bounce off you. A thick wall will block most of the signal. No need for a faraday cage.
Maybe glueing aluminium foil to the clothing to spice up reflections can help.
The end stage of leftist conspiracy theories vs libertarian ones again rears its head:
"You're wearing tinfoil because you believe mole people are trying to microwave your semen with 5g. I'm wearing tinfoil because a public study released showing wifi can be used like sonar and it's literally not even a secret they just published the papers you can read it on a normal website. We're not the same."
In 2020 my mom lived in a place where most people didn't mask, she said "If anyone gives me shit I'll say I'm doing it to block the government facial scanning technology." It's interesting that it's a legitimate reason to wear a mask all the time these days.
Even better if you print a face on the mask.
😭
probably dont even need it on the outside just do it around your torso under clothes or something, could probably sew it into a mask as well. theres likely a way to do this comfortably, sew it into a second shirt or something
just live in the woods with only wired internet. Cat6Gang stay winning.
