Tbh I didn't even read the article. It was just pure clickbait! (Which was foiled when the frigging link didn't even post correctly)

This forum is a POS! Non working links indeed!

Could be operator error. It seems I never have a problem posting a link (that works too).

What are the chances of a phone ever being able to tell you that it's Sunday?

It depended on having some malware installed in the system. If they were able to get some malware on the target system then why use such a convoluted method to get the data?
 
Some years back there was a more plausible method of getting the data. It had to do with receiving and interpreting the RF signals produced by the system. No malware needed; only a very sensitive receiver. I believe this is also the basis for the conspiracy theorists using faraday cages for their systems.

-When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

I just assume - they ... whoever "they" are - if they really wanted to - can track me or anyone from sun up until sun down and probably print out a very accurate schedule of what you been doing all day every day
 
 
I think they have all the data and not enough people to really surveillance it in real time  - but enough to  piece together if you were involved in some sort of an "Event" that "They" thought was an threat .. to "Them"
