Anyone can be tracked. Through their phone, through their Google Glass, through their Moto 360, hell even through a camera. It's not surprising, and it won't discourage my usage of these items.

Not really a major surprise.

The question is more who isn't tracked? :) Internetbrowsing, Streetcams, Phones, Drones.. Need more? Freedom is a lie.

Bye LTT. That was an interesting journey on this board. At least here you see how not to do it. I'll go shaking my head about this place.

^ This! If it wasn't so easy like searching "private key" on github when desperate.

Case: Phanteks Evolve X with ITX mount  cpu: Ryzen 3900X 4.35ghz all cores Motherboard: MSI X570 Unify gpu: EVGA 1070 SC  psu: Phanteks revolt x 1200W Memory: 64GB Kingston Hyper X oc'd to 3600mhz ssd: Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1TB ITX System CPU: 4670k  Motherboard: some cheap asus h87 Ram: 16gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz
