For those saying, “just leave your phone at home.”
Leave your phone, dog, car, wallet, smart watch, hearing aids, headphones, and any other potentially “smart” / Bluetooth devices at home. If it can respond to a signal, like an RFID card in your wallet, then it should stay home.
You should have an RFID blocking wallet regardless of this tech existing.
Been hearing this for fifteen years now, it is just so niche a threat that people shouldnt have those horrible wallets in reality.
The stalker info is coming from all the devices and the rfid blocking wallet is blocking reading of cards.
What makes them horrible? I like my no-profile wallet. I don’t want cards being readable through them. That’s the point
More power to you, I think they are fairly silly given the risk. Its like wearing velcro shoes to stop people who intentionally step on your laces…
I am sure there are nice ones, I’d use one if I found a nice one but only because I like it not because of its features.
In fact, forget the hookers and blackjack…
Or get faraday pouches for them. Or you can wrap in aluminum foil in a pinch. Or an all metal pot, through the stuff in there.
“Leave your tyre pressure sensors at home!”
Exactly! Our freedom is still good!
I dont know if I believe the RFID tags. How are they getting them to transmit? Sure everything else on their list is sending a signal but RFID needs power.
btw why cant you disconnect your phone or whatever from bluetooth or wifi or just turn it off
Yes and no though. What most people would consider off isn’t. At least on iPhone it just disconnects but still transmits with quick settings disabled. Like Apple is part of the system even though people say they are not.
Then you can’t use it anyway, and the fascists have won.
you can do a lot of things with an offline phone or wired headphones/airpods and all that.
i mean sure idk how to do that on cars but it depends on what car
