A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I find myself waking up in an even stranger world than the one I left the night before.
It's one thing to understand that while surfing the Internet you expose yourself to being monitored, it's quite another to take a walk around the park and have someone trying to 'sniff out' your movement and potentially your identity.
Are there people who don't really understand the implications of this?
Once everyone's DNA is recorded (it's being done at birth now, at least in some US states), you will eventually be able to find out a person's identity by vacuuming their surroundings.
