caveat the neighbour of the emptor, whatever that is in Latin.
Your neighbour’s video doorbell will have the easiest time picking up on your face, but your neighbour’s cloud WiFi AP will surely see your WiFi devices coming and going in WiFi range through the day, and how long will it be before Siri is listening to your upstairs neighbor’s footsteps and telling you they’re unusually quiet for this time of the week and maybe you should check on them in the mandatory gig economy of social care?
