My jaw dropped listening to this
“My husband worked for a very large mobile gaming company, and these are the craziest things he ever told me”
He says they estimate the value of each users home by their home WiFi signal. “Let's talk about data tracking — They would estimate the value of your home, and the way they did that was by looking at your WiFi signal, and depending on how strong the signal was, they would know how far you've walked from where the router is in your house, and they could estimate the square footage of your house from that, compare that to your general location data, and guess how much your house is worth and then they would sell you coin packs based on how much money they thought you had”
“They tracked the days of the month that you got your direct deposit, your paycheck, and they would send push notifications locations and targeted ads on those days to get you to buy coins”
I verified all this is not only possibly, but it’s 100% happening
- Mobile apps with permission can access WiFi signal strength
- As you move around with your phone, the app logs how signal strength changes weaker farther from router. This can roughly estimate room sizes, floor plans and overall home footprint especially combined with GPS and location data for the neighborhood
This is not what you sign up for when you download an app
A massive 350,000 square foot data center in Massachusetts is nicknamed “The Dungeon” by residents
The data center promised it would provide lots of new jobs to the community. Only about 12 people work there….
The data center is causing constant visible pollution and a lot of noise to residents
It’s using about 120,000 gallons of water per day and using as much power as 40,000 American homes
Residents were lied to
Get this, the data center is buying nearby homes and properties to expand….

🔥🚨 BREAKING — A plane has crashed into the China Zun Tower, Beijing’s tallest skyscraper and one of the top 10 tallest buildings in the world at 528 meters.
Debris was reported to have fallen near the eastern entrance of the tower following the incident.
@ItsMeGeoffrey@FreddyLA7 He went viral on like the 2nd or 3rd post of his trip which was merely about the trees in Atlanta. Why did that post get pushed so hard?
Este sitio tiene 16.000 personas conectadas a la vez haciéndose pasar por ChatGPT para no tener que usarlo.
Toda tecnología nueva tiene su resaca. La de la IA ya arrancó.
La web se llama, traducido, "tu basura de IA me aburre". La armó un programador y explotó a 50 millones de visitas en una semana. Escribís o dibujás lo que necesitás, pero adentro no hay ningún modelo: te contesta otra persona al azar que se hace pasar por la máquina. Tiene 75 segundos para responder pero, si querés una respuesta más trabajada, activás "modo pensamiento" y al humano del otro lado le dan el doble de tiempo.
Es un fenómeno muy particular porque, aprovechando el anonimato, mucha gente hace consultas personales y, del otro lado, un montón de desconocidos con ganas de ayudar gratis. Sin perfil, sin reputación, sin estrellitas, sin ganar nada más que el crédito para preguntar ellos. Por una vez en internet, nadie te está vendiendo nada.
Con la euforia de pedirle absolutamente todo a la IA, lo que falta a veces es tener a alguien del otro lado.
Ese internet viejo, el de los foros y los desconocidos ayudándose porque sí.
Copper eliminates impurities in water. Nobody ever needed to add chlorine.
"Through a natural reaction called the oligodynamic effect, copper releases ions that destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi by disrupting their cellular processes."
Stop using chlorine!
