      Sensationalist bullshit headline. This is not new. Wifi is just high-frequency radio waves, which have always been able to penetrate most typical walls. Using wifi to detect movement is not new, either.

      Just Comcast being Comcast.

        Thats not even the cool proof on concept type of shit that's out there. There's people figuring out how to steal data from the vibrations of a hard drive, through walls

          For real. S&R teams and firefighters've been using it, and similar, for years now

              I misremembered it, it was Fan vibrations, but still crazy stuff.

                Thanks 😄
                Crazy what kinda stuff is possible. At least this still requires actively controlling the fan(s).

                The things you can do with just the sensors of a mobile phone...
