De overheid en trackers ...

With the holidays upon us, it's easy to default to giving the tech gifts that retailers tend to push on us this time of year:
smart speakers, video doorbells, bluetooth trackers, fitness trackers, and other connected gadgets are all very popular gifts.
But before you give one, think twice about what you're opting that person into.
One big problem with giving these sorts of gifts is that you're opting another person into a company's intrusive surveillance prac…

Think Twice Before Giving Surveillance for the Holidays

Point Prompting: Counterfactual Tracking with Video Diffusion Models
Trackers and video generators solve closely related problems: the former analyze motion, while the latter synthesize it. We show that this connection enables pretrained video diffusion models to perform zero-shot point tracking by simply prompting them to visually mark points as they move over time. We place a distinctively colored marker at the query point, then regenerate the rest of the video from an intermediate noise level. This propagates the marker across frames, tracing the point's traj…

It is "easy for stalkers and the company itself to track the location of Tile devices." We need standards for these things. The @… has suggestions, which Apple, Google, and Samsung are adopting, but not Life360 (Tile).

Tile’s Lack of Encryption Is a Danger for Users Everywhere
In research shared with Wired this week, security researchers detailed a series of vulnerabilities and design flaws with Life360’s Tile Bluetooth trackers that make it easy for stalkers and the company itself to track the location of Tile devices.Tile trackers are small Bluetooth trackers, similar...

Tip: When you use DuckDuckGo's web browser you can generate a free email address that forwards to an email address of your choice but also removes trackers along the way. Handy for subscriptions and "giveaways".

For each email you get a report on what trackers were removed.

Terwijl de meeste apps op mn telefoon gewoon zonder trackers kunnen, lijken sommige apps heel hardnekkig dat toch te blijven proberen.
#Thuismeten is er zo eentje.
Al eerder mn ziekenhuis over aangesproken. 'Ze zouden het meenemen.'
Mwt het tracken gaat weliswaar niet gelijk zorgdata mee, maar alleen al het gebruik impliceert zorg krijgen waar die app vpor nodig is.

In-pixel integration of signal processing and AI/ML based data filtering for particle tracking detectors
We present the first physical realization of in-pixel signal processing with integrated AI-based data filtering for particle tracking detectors. Building on prior work that demonstrated a physics-motivated edge-AI algorithm suitable for ASIC implementation, this work marks a significant milestone toward intelligent silicon trackers. Our prototype readout chip performs real-time data reduction at the sensor level while meeting stringent requirements on power, area, and latency. The chip is taped…

MSITrack: A Challenging Benchmark for Multispectral Single Object Tracking
Visual object tracking in real-world scenarios presents numerous challenges including occlusion, interference from similar objects and complex backgrounds-all of which limit the effectiveness of RGB-based trackers. Multispectral imagery, which captures pixel-level spectral reflectance, enhances target discriminability. However, the availability of multispectral tracking datasets remains limited. To bridge this gap, we introduce MSITrack, the largest and most diverse multispectral single object …

Aangezien dit geen functionele data deling is (DDG blokkeert de trackers en de app functioneert al jaren zo), is het duidelijk de vraag wat het doel dan wel is.
De verbinding met de overheid zelf zal alle nodige informatie geven.
