WiFi 802.11bf

jeudi 8 juillet 2021 à 02:00

A proposed new WiFi standard, 802.11bf, would allow WiFi devices to sense the position of people and how they are moving. Even from someone else's apartment. Perhaps even sensing how your fingers are moving over the keyboard and what keys they are pressing.

This seems to me like a disaster. I expect that Amazon and other companies will sell "connected" products containing such WiFi interfaces, and set them up to watch everyone in range and report.
