Re: NFC Thread - Discuss technology and usage

@TofiBaba

You carry a phone just means you’re already tracked. Forget about all the other technologies.
But yes, you can turn on an off various radios at your convenience, e.g. NFC, BlueTooth, Wifi etc. Originally those devices are supposed to be very short range and can’t be tracked. But in practice people have deviced ways to extend their ranges. With NFC being an inch or shorter in range, even if extended it can go maximum upto 4 inches. So as long as you are out of arms’ length you are safe.

Wait, I don’t believe i can be location tracked to a particular room in a particular building with cheap feasible existing technology. This 4 inches thing sounds good, but i still don’t trust this technology.
