Inconceivable

You keep blaming criminal use for the reason it shouldnt exist as it does.

Following your logic, luxury cars from lets say, bugatti, should be banned because people can abuse their high speed as getaway vehicles, even though theyre intended to be investment vehicles

Oddly enough my moms AirTag notifies me when she’s riding in the car with me for 10-15 minutes to the grocery store. Between 8-24 hours is not even close to the amount of time before it notifies you in my experience.

A good way to prevent this would be to Keep your airtag on your person , put them in your luggage after tsa and then check your bags at the gate. This will likely bypass the point where they would remove them.

Make sure you call ahead though and make sure your airline offers gate checkage.

I felt like she would deflect honest criticism with non-existence misogyny

Another sad excuse for Apple not being able to eliminate that abomination on your screen

Just because the app is free doesn't mean I should be forced to use it to protect myself.

I'm not purchasing the device, I'm concerned about people tracking folks without their consent.

Tile doesn't phone home via devices with no intervention of the users. Tile is opt-in to send data. My phone won't taddle on me to the Tile servers without my consent. Apple isn't allowing users to choose whether their phone is participating in the tracking network or not.

Other trackers aren't nearly as disposable, available, or covert. A device with a GPS antenna and a modem will run out of battery in a few days. An Airtag can last months.

That's the point of Kickstarter.

Do you want a slow ass phone that sucks ass because it’s marginally easier to repair?

lol I admire your guts, but what would you expect except for "bUt I bOuGhT aN aNdRoId aNd iT's alL bUgs aNd GlItChEs" ?

Literally the only (half decent) android phones I saw glitching was around 2012 with honeycomb.

Or because people don’t want this. There are plenty of cheap budget phones and they sell horribly.

One nice thing about capitalism is that if there is a market for something, someone will make a product for it.

They're enabling it with their tech and the design of the distributed tracking system, where other people's devices can be used to track others without the consent of the parties involved.

You don't need to be intimate, people are having their cars tagged to be stolen later, for instance, by having a airtag thrown into the wheel well. People are being stalked by exes, and their own devices are sending their location back without any way to disable it. This is a bad design.

Good lord there is always one of you on literally every post.

Just freaking stop already.
What's next? You want movies to be on VHS tapes again?

Yes

It’s okay as long as they don’t sell them on the seashore.

I think we need an independent opinion. Send your wife to my house with the laptop, and I'll figure out who's right.

give me my home button back

Yep, that'd certainly do it

I have some future news for everyone.

This is not a fucking laptop, do not call it that.

Ya this person is going to be a trillionair

It’s weird how things don’t get attention when people don’t know about them.

I'm speaking from my personal experience as a salesmen. I promise every customer isn't being surveyed about their reasons.

Welp, I guess the designers took desktop literally with this laptop
