This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
How many criminals are taking along their microchipped pets to and from their crimes?
Rhetorical question I know. They simply do not want to allow dissidents and undesirables the freedom of movement.
Also, if you contribute to a project like this, you are a traitor and should be treated as such.
If they track all that other stuff then they are not 'license plate cameras'.
This is how you make tech enthusiasts hate tech.
Or motivate them to tactically acquire new hardware.
The elites don't want you to know this but the cameras in the park are free, you can take them home.
Strategically Transfer Equipment to Another Location
License plate cameras will soon discover rapid unscheduled disassembly

What's the point of even having the 4th Amendment when corporations can completely sidestep it and tell the government exactly what you're doing all the time? Corporations and the government are essentially the same entity with this massive loophole.
The constitution isn’t real anymore. It hasn’t been for a long time. Nothing is getting better until we have a revolution and constitutional convention
They want us to believe that we're "free" and have "rights".
... pet microchips are passive LF RFID tags, they have a readable range of maybe 15cm? Unless they've figured out some way to power them at distance (or they're sticking UHF tags in your dogs, which they arent) without frying the camera and giving everyone cancer, they're inert. What weird marketing hype.
Industry researchers have managed to create directional antennas that read 125 kHz chips (the kind used in pets) from as far away as one meter. That's most or all of the width of a sidewalk, if the reader is placed at ground level.
For unimplanted tags of unspecified size sure it's technically possible to do, but I'll let the article summarize why this is blatant marketing hype:
The ideal lab setup often fails miserably once you mount the reader near a gate or machine frame.
It’s worth saying: 1 meter is an ambitious goal for 125kHz. LF systems are intentionally short-range to prevent cross-talk. If you truly need 1-meter coverage, sometimes the real solution isn’t to push more current — it’s to rethink geometry, use multi-coil zones, or explore hybrid systems (LF for identity, HF/UHF for distance).
and then mention that the interference from the dermis vastly reduces the useful range of the tags, and that the article doesn't actually specify what type of tag they're designing for (or if it's using a set orientation...).
Maybe time to start creating devices that spam various Bluetooth MACs and just leave them around... Raise the noise floor a bit
Nah, too easy to filter. Make them clone MACs they've seen, and simulate trips around the city.
I'd be a shame if someone hid an ESP32 nearby randomly broadcasting previously detected MAC addresses.
Despite doing an awful lot with ESP32s, Home assistant, and a bunch of LoRa stuff, I know very little about BLE. Would it be possible for folks to voluntarily add their MAC to a data base on gitlab, and have a ESP32 program that:
One of the reasons 80s tech is making a comeback.
ghost in the shell laughing man shit.
a couple years go by and they don't know how to track people regularly anymore.
so if we bypass these sensors and algorithms, we become invisible in plain sight
Whenever a leftist talks about technofascism and technofeudalism, this is that.
Ignore them and let big brother watch you, citizen. Being adversarial to the safety that monitoring provides would be far too political for your centrist, apolotical heart. Just accept that this is the price of safety and work hard and have kids. Take the blue pill.
Or you can take the red pill, and free your mind.
I am on nextdoor and at least once a week there's a post about Seattle's mayor turning off the flock cameras and it's inevitably flooded by Republicans screaming and shouting that she wants there to be more murder. These people have no critical thinking skills and just parrot anything whatever media station they chose says.
They always disappear when I point out the cameras have been hacked, Leo's nationwide can access, they've been caught stalking with the cameras, they can listen in on conversations through a cracked window, and we have no guarantees the data won't be fed to AI. Guess I can add precise location tracking through phones to the list too.
~~hide your devices in a faraday cage~~ X
Drive around with a machine with 20k reprogrammable-MAC bluetooth radios that randomize the MAC address every 10 seconds ✓
Or buy cloned devices from China which all have the same MAC
Enshittification of society itself
Mass surveillance by corporation
We have to quit these corporate electronics.
Brb making RF insulated glove boxes.
Could one build a device that could overload these with fake data?
Or should we just use cordless angle grinders?
I don't know anything about jamming these but I do know that DeWalt makes a pretty good cordless angle grinder
Its funnier than that, jammers are not legal, but data poisioning is. Leave a device near by that just rotates through IDs of all the signal types you know its listening for and it protects everyone passing by because their UIDs get lost in the noise.
Does GDPR protect Europeans from this kind of boring surveillance dystopia?
IANAL but it does have a bunch of exceptions allowing governments to do whatever they want.
Jokes on you. I leave all my electronics at home. Fuck having a digital leash, especially one that can be tracked.
Kill the rich, save the poor. Taxation, is not enough for the current era. There must be justice for the crimes committed. Once they are dead, then we can figure out how to run the world without capitalism. Untill then, the elimination of the ultra-rich by any means should be the goal. Everything else is noise.
In addition: We have the power. The US power grid is fragile. As such if we all turn off our power at the exact same time, we can cripple the grid. On July 4th at 11pm cst exactly, we can all power down our homes. Even if only 50% do it, it will enough. We have the power, and we will stop these monsters by any means necessary!
looks like all those phones with physical shutoff switches are looking pretty fuckin good now.
I hope for a horrible end for whatever piece of shit decided to track pets. A curb stomping would be too kind for that kind of trash.
The more of you that is digital, the more of you they will see. Their ignorance of your life is a critical protection for you, from them.
This AI bubble is gonna crash so hard, none of this processing is sustainable and profitable.
