Yes, we shouldn't stop at being surprised. We should put our actions where our surprise/shock is and do something about it.
For example: leave your mobile phone permanently in flight mode and just all the other features, like agenda, clock, etc (or leave it always at home, if you don't have a landline anymore).
- derefr 13y agoBy which you mean... don't have a mobile phone? (I imagine you are someone who either spends most of the day in one place, or doesn't have anyone who they would want to be able to contact them on a whim.)
- stygiansonic 13y agoThere are certain Android apps, like this one [1] that attempt to turn on/off your WiFi automatically based on location. I have not used this one, but it might make the process a bit less tedious. Obviously, the best option is just to manually turn on/off WiFi yourself. A more interesting idea would be to create an app that sends out random probe requests with a randomized MAC address. (While not sending out any real probe requests) I wonder if that would be effective at disrupting these sorts of surveillance techniques. 1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kismetwireless.android.smarterwifimanager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kismetwire...
