Useful habit for privacy
May 16th, 2021
----------------------------------------

Over time I've been watching many videos on the topics
of security and privacy.  In many occasions, many
presenters spoke of the practice of certain chain
stores to trace users by means of mobile WI-Fi.

While I've never took the time to collect evidence of
this despicable habit, I would say it is definitely
feasible, and obviously incentivised by the purposes of
targeted advertisement.

I hate the ads industry with passion.

Given so, and even if by nature I'm not very inclined
to do shopping and such, and even if I'm stuck home
since the beginning of 2020, I got into the habit of
turning off the Wi-Fi when I'm not home.

It is easy to forget about it!  A thing that reminds me
in being systematic is to turn off the mobile data
while I'm home, so I'll lack connectivity when I'm no
longer in reach of my access point.

Of course the assumption is that I'll be trying to get
online after I left home and before reaching the
shopping center.
