    Hey member when they drove around and sucked up everybody’s wifi and (where possible) password? And then they were like “oh well if you don’t want us to use your network in our data then it’s on you to keep it out” member that.

    Yeah.

      “Security” idiot bro they hired at a bank* I used work for would drive around with a laptop and his buddies to break into WiFi as a hobby. It was truly disturbing, but he was an entitled ass so maybe not surprising.

      *Silicon Valley Bank if you were curious.

      I never removed “_nomap” from my SSID. I doubt they even care about it anymore.

        It should always have been opt-in, not opt-out. I remember ranting about it to my girlfriend at the time. I don’t think she cared.
