Location tracking of phones is out of control. Here’s how to fight back.
  • Originally the D.A.I.R. project (Driver Aid, Information and Routing) was conceptualized in the 60's. It wasn't until Hughes assisted EDS in the 90's that they were able to create a beacon that could communicate via Satellite and Cellular.

    I myself didn't realize this was a thing until about a decade ago when I was trying to create an automation for my lights to turn on when I pulled into my driveway. I kept getting a ping about 5min after my phone connected to my WiFi. The MAC matched nothing I had in the house, I just blew it off.

    When an associate stopped by to work on a HoneyPot project we started seeing a bunch of random MACs attempt to connect to the open wifi, we wrote that noise off as people walking by my house and their cell phones were just trying to connect. It wasn't until the garbage man showed up and stopped to talk to me that I was able to find his truck listed with an address connected to the open wifi, sent a few packets, then left. We made the correlation that the MAC's could be from cars so we started researching the manufacturer of those device MAC's

    That pretty much opened a weird rabbit hole leading us to find out that almost every car has been tracked since the mid-90's.

    Joking aside, I would move to Amish country if it weren't for the whiskey and bitches. But in all honesty; my family lives a much more comfortable life than I ever imagined I would with working in the IT field.

  • why is this race so close?
  • Because one side wants to own the libs and that's all they want to do. While one side is just as bad, they want to own the population to get away with crimes and the other side is never taken seriously as it's full of gas huffing paint-chip addicts.

  • Satanic Temple opens 'religious' abortion clinic, promotes 'abortion ritual'
  • Whenever the topic of abortion comes up I just remind individuals that the right to abortion is a religious freedom Jews have. But they usually respond with 'Kill the kike,' or 'Free Palastine,' or 'Go perform more genocides.'

  • The Choice America Now Faces in Iran
  • the organisation based the the UK considered it to be a genocide.

    There are like a dozen happening right now and it's quite exhausting coming up with plans to help as many as I'm capable of helping.

  • Tcl/Tk 9.0 released
  • I created a report generator, When I open the app it welcomes me to a drop-down menu where I select the customer name and click generate and it opens a .pdf with some charts and graphs.

    I could have done it with .js or in excel but it takes about 5 or 6 seconds in python where as anything I'd done in .js was adequate, it would seem like it took too long to print/render. And well, excel would have given me some idiotic error a few months down the road.

    But other than that? Not much really.
