Mentioned a possible future trend in my hyperbitcoinisation SN post.
Many Bitcoiners pivoted to privacy preserving hardware, both in digital and meat space, to carry around and shield themselves. They were as powerful as advanced military scramblers, making them undetectable to most invasive spyware on the streets. Privacy-minded people were only observable by low-orbit satellites if they wished.
Handheld jamming tech is going to become more widely used in the years ahead.

I always viewed WiFi-powered cameras as a deterrent more than anything else. They are not a fail-safe - anyone motivated enough will not stop because of them.

Love this, hopefully this gets more wide-spread - and disrupts the shoddy WiFi-everything market.
Wired LAN + PoE is the only real solution here.

The big problem here is that jamming will always have the upper hand. Hardware manufacturers can make their devices more resilient and better and better at distinguishing noise from signal with e.g. DSSS or FHSS etc. but in the end it isn't a cat-and-mouse when the jammers have the easier job and keep the upper hand.
