This is precisely why "going cashless" is silly. At least leave the option to those citizens that care about their privacy to be able to pay with cash and not be tracked the heck out of them.
- eyeareque 8y agoSure you can pay with cash. But you better turn off your phone because they also track you with your WiFi MAC address when you walk into stores.
- Jonnax 8y agoYour phone should randomise the Mac when searching for access points.
- throwawayperson 8y agoThat's where IOS did much better.
- reacharavindh 8y agoDoes iOS randomize MAC addresses when looking for public wifi networks? Another thing to worry about is whether iPhone really turns off the wifi radio when it is greeted out from the menu.. I remember a setting change somewhere around ios10/11..
- throwawayperson 8y agoiOS 8 MAC address randomization
