Amazon Sidewalk - Other people using your bandwidth.

This is actually super fucking based of the cops

I mean they are basically just publishing some boomer email chain that the chief received, but bagging on Amazon is always good.

So sidewalk gives you added "security" by not allowing you to see what potential intruder devices are using your wifi to download CP and Cursed Hentai? No thanks.

So when the creep down the street uses your wifi to download CP or send dick pics to kids, you have no way of detecting or stopping them because the encryption will protect their transmissions. Nice job, that is certainly the intended outcome.

It doesn't allow regular internet access, but low-bandwidth streaming of transmissions from Ring cameras etc. That said, I suppose you could face problems if someone living next to you (without wifi) used a Ring camera to livestream child molestation or something and it went out (encrypted) over your wifi because you had one of those Echo spy devices in your home acting as a bridge. But why would you have an Echo spy machine in your house in the first place.

People actually pay Amazon to put "Alexa" surveillance devices in their homes.

Nigger Cattle aren't people.

My neighbours are full in to the Alexa/Ring door bell shit (the house over the road has one that points at my house and i close the curtains when I'm on the PC as i don't want it recording me doing shit)

Will Sidewalk work on my router, if i don't have it and my neighbour needs it? Will my bandwidth be getting nicked by the yuppies next door?

So this is just one big giant, bandwidth syphoning spyware tool for what purpose exactly? I don't understand what p2p Wi-Fi exactly serves; that's the whole purpose of satellite cellular data?

This is all (ab)using unlicensed spectrum. When they finally settle on a band I am going to start broadcasting analog NTSC video on the same frequencies and I have just as much right to use them as Amazon.

I've been using other people's bandwidth since 802.11b so I don't see a problem with this. Guess the owners of the bandwidth may get upset.

no. It is enabled by Amazon devices. If you have an Alexa in your house on your network that could be used.

If you want to increase your privacy, I would suggest a physical remedy to the Ring doorbell problem.
