Replying to nobody

I’m pretty convinced that if you own a computer or cell phone, your country’s government knows where you are to within a few meters at all times.

I don’t think hardware or OS matters in that consideration.

I was literally just having a conversation with someone who does SigInt in the Navy and ya… you’re exactly right.

It honestly makes sense to me they’d go for the hardware over the software. What better way to poison the well where nothing much can be done to stop it?

What’s worse, it really comes down to the actual signals being sent. They can tell where you are in the house based on how your WiFi is bouncing off of objects in your house. So even if you manage to source perfect hardware, the moment you start getting any kind of signal, they can detect it.

The most impressive thing I’ve heard along those lines recently was finding out that something very much like the heartbeat sensor in CoD is *real*.

We live in a cyberpunk world and the average person has no clue, because it doesn’t look like the cartoon.
