- brookst 3y agoIs that still a thing in the era of randomized MAC addresses?
- spicybright 3y agoI'd be quite surprised if they didn't come up with other identification techniques. Even if you couldn't pin point an individual anymore, I'm sure you can still learn a lot if you could somehow get version numbers from devices, wifi signal strength, etc. (especially when you can just dump it all into an AI now) The industry is too huge to just give up.
