Maybe it depends on the access point. When I turn it off on my router there are no beacons sent. Unless you specifically probe the ssid it doesn't announce itself. BUT granted when you make a connection the ssid does show up during the handshake. If you were watching at the exact moment of connection then it would be detectable. I suppose they could use a mass deauther device and cause new connections and detect while that is happening but they they would need to triangulate the location of said ap... Again a lot of extra equipment.

I would set up your router, turn off ssid broadcast and forget about it. It's doubtful they have the equipment to find an access point that doesn't actively announce itself to the world .

Edit: it means you will have to manually add your wifi network to your devices by typing in the ssid on them but other than that there shouldn't be any issues

The most interesting thing is my wife is 172, and I am 173. So I guess our blues are the same

Sounds cool but most of the folding phones I have seen are as thick as 2 phones stacked when folded. If this is now 3 phones thick I think it looses some portability unless you put new pockets on your pants.

How do you know he isn't already on a diet?

Not the point of this post but I think starship troopers did an excellent job of skewering the military, government, and the whole propaganda machine.

I appreciate your concern. Clover is a girl kitty... She sees the vet two or three times a year. We got her from the rescue and she was a larger kitty then this and has been on a diet. She is and has been very active chasing her step brother and sister around our house, because she believes that she should be the only cat in he house. She doesn't like wet cat food or people food at all. It's slow going and it doesn't change the fact that she is a lot of kitty. It was about 85 in our house the day I took this picture and she flopped in the tile floor to cool off.

It amazes me that people in this thread tell me all about how I care for my cat by just looking at a picture of her.

Yeah. I really don't think that is it.

My point is that it doesn't matter who you vote for, whoever it is is going to support genocide. You can choose not to vote. You can vote for someone who has no chance. Or you can choose to select a candidate based on other things they have said or have done.

Good to know. I know a couple of people in the steam deck world who dual boot windows and steamos and have their games on a btrfs partition that use it so they don't need games installed twice ... I have no desire to do this so I have never tried.

Except both political parties that have a chance of winning are pro genocide.

It's been 57 short years since it was a guaranteed right in the US that my wife and I could have our marriage recognized everywhere. To put that into perspective, we have been married for 24 years. When we got married I had no idea that there was ever a a question that we could be together. It's pretty insane to me.

 
 

I can't tell you how many times I have heard this song and never new. Soon as someone pointed it out all I can here is positive k's voice.
