Nash @radiodeadair.com · 23/08/2026DO NOT rent your cable modem and router. Buy your own. It used to be a means to avoid being fleeced, and now it's self defense against being tracked moving around your own home. 632875
Nash @radiodeadair.com · 24/08/2026It's a misuse of another standard wifi feature: beamforming. TL;DR: beamforming is a method of pointing the signal in a specific location for better transmission speeds. This is a way of using it to follow motion around a signal area, and it's bullshit.Nerdy Mushroom@nerdymushroom.bsky.socialSince the article says its something people can 'turn on' I have to ask - Is there any valid reason for a router to have this capability in the first place? 211821
Nash @radiodeadair.com · 24/08/2026The only reason it works is because when you use Comcast's router, they have access to it. They're allowed to mess with it remotely. They can do a lot of stuff as a result. They can't do that if you use your own router, as that would constitute hacking your home network. 2887
