Yep. My WiFi has had _optout_nomap ever since it was introduced. People always ask me why and I've never seen another SSID with it included.

- maeil 2y agoCome over to my place and we can possibly be the first people ever to bond over their home wifi SSIDs ;)
- lostlogin 2y agoMy Unifi setup has whitelisted devices. Everything else is completely crippled on the WiFi. I’m happy for how easy it is to do this.
- SpaceNugget 2y agoGoogle maps doesn't need to be able to connect to your wifi in order to use it for location detection. i.e. You still need to add _nomap to the ssid.
- wil421 2y agoGoogle maps cars go around scanning WiFi SSIDs so they can map them to geolocations.
- CalRobert 2y agoI really miss the days when people put time and thought in to their SSIDs instead of using the defaults
- coremoff 2y agoThere's a certain comfort, and security, from the anonymity afforded by randomly generated SSIDs.

- prmoustache 2y agoOn of my neighbors SSID used to be some bad words towards people working in IT. I think he got some bad experience with his ISP support.
- withinboredom 2y agoMine is "go fuck yourself" so whenever anyone asks what my wifi is, it results in a hilarious exchange.
- Aachen 2y agoAnd the password is either "figure it out for yourself", "check the packaging", "try 123456 backwards", or "I don't know"?
- withinboredom 2y agoThanks for the brilliant ideas!
- bluGill 2y agoMy parents were 'CIA moble survalance unit'.
- Aachen 2y agoI saw a _nomap once! Mentioned it to those around me and nobody knew what it was of course. Must admit I didn't know of optout until now either
