> Sidewalk, which is somewhat akin to a mesh network that, with the right amount of access points, could easily cover a whole neighborhood, is now getting closer to launch Doesn’t that make it the very definition of a mesh network?

#32Low bandwidth mesh networking is super interesting but I would prefer not to have it supplied by Buy'n'Large.
Who else has an install base like Amazon in their Alexas and Rings? No TinyCorp could just decide to roll out a service like this. One of the few upsides of having giant companies is seeing the work of their equally big R&D departments

Yep. In the US you generally have no standing to resist a warrant for your data that you handed over to a third party. Don't use cloud based cameras. Products like ring could easily be designed so that your data would be protected-- e.g. encrypt on the device, all storage is encrypted.. you give a password to any client to view it that amazon never sees. Yet even though its straightforward to do so this is not availa…
There is a big advantage of cloud based cameras and that is that the data is off premises and can't be just taken away on an SD card. Of course you could send video to your own server but that is beyond the capabilities of most users.
I also delete anything over 3 days(thanks rclone) and use a script which detects the presence of either my wife's or my phone on our LAN so the cameras auto-start when we're not home.

I use 'rclone' and 'motion' to push video and images to my google drive account. If I wanted to, I could easily encrypt it first. I think it's superior to most cloud video providers. I don't think most LE agencies would think to check something like Google Drive for active video feeds.

#39For a massive e-commerce platform, it would be great info to digitally retarget the physically-abandoned shopping carts.

#40If you track the user ID along a route of IoT IDs (which they're totally not doing), factoring in the path taken and time between stops, you could probably find out which stores the user had been (window) shopping at.

That is sarcastic but definitely not a straw-man. I had those conversations and its quite sad to see how shortsighted people get when you attach free to something.
People are going mad over wearing mask since its a tool of control. But expose a mass surveillance system and noone bat an eye. Implement free grid wifi that will be able to track you across city and you are the next jesus.
They will probably try to fingerprint you even if you are not connected.
