    Did they just expose the most massive telemetric observation platform of the digital age?

    Who knew our cellular infrastructure could be come a passive observance tool for all electromagnetic interference.

    I don’t even think Hollywood has thought of this one. Batman does not count, that used audio pickups.

      It's been coming for a long time.

      There are old HN submissions around home wifi routers being used for this. I recall one where a model was trained on video and signal interference, then tested on only signal interference. I bought a bunch of orange pi zero to do something like this, but then cryptos hit and my interests have evolved since (not crypto for long)
