That is what I do. I have owned like 4 kvm switches. Even when I paid extra to get a "good" one they never lasted more than like a year or two. My USB switch has been going for about 3 years. Occasionally it glitches out and I have to unplug it from everything but it's only about every 3-5 months

They asked for an alternative to airtags. I provided one. Doesn't matter if they were compromised because like I said, everyone is eventually. The data leaked is almost certainly super redundant for almost every user anyhow

Maybe I'm wrong but I remember the old days of jailbreaking an iPhone (4s my last iPhone) and I know some tweaks are now in implemented on iOS their own way soo you're correct (does this count??)

Rereading our exchange multiple times even, I've no idea what you're saying or what this has to do with anything.

Apple and google? They kinda copy each other right?

No. You aren't listening. Apple is known especially for stealing ideas. It's their whole business model, in fact. Steve Jobs bragged about it.

I don't really know if a tile is "good for privacy". It depends on a lot of things and you should research it yourself. Since my goal for the tile is to be able to find my devices, keys, bags, etc, I expect there to be personal info asked for and that's true. I highly doubt an airtag would be any better for privacy.

Yeah I read about that and it's in no way a breach of privacy. So you overreacted, probably without even researching what you were reacting to

Which happens to practically all companies eventually.

The hacker gained access to a customer support platform. Credit card numbers, passwords, and location data are not at risk, says parent company Life360.

Not sure where the disconnect is. You weren't very clear with your question but yes I did take time to attempt to clear up what you seemed to be asking about.

And no, not every big company flat out steals ideas. Apple is notorious for doing this, but other companies are not. At least none I can think of.

Tile (stylized as tile) is an American consumer electronics company which produces tracking devices that users can attach to their belongings such as keys and backpacks. A companion mobile app for Android and iOS allows users to track the devices using Bluetooth 4.0 in order to locate lost items or to view their last detected location.[1] The first devices were delivered in 2013.

Apple has stolen most ideas they ever execute. A lot of people believe they do the best job of execution but I don't buy that in most cases. I mean here's a perfect example. A product that has been working great with any device for 8 years and here they come with a version that locks you into their ecosystem. I'm good on that.

..airtags* are what were asked about an alternative for. Autocorrect.

Tile? The brand that predates airtags and where apple stole the idea from and just made it proprietary to their ecosystem

Edit: what a bizarre thing to downvote

Ah, the hate-chorus when the people making the only browser keeping choice alive does... Literally anything.

Okay so are you wanting to just seem superior to those who would rather us all pay our own bills? Because you don't always have to be a psychopath to prefer that. If my parents needed it, I would help them. But I don't understand why you're asking this here this way as though there is one situation or attitude in a country of hundreds of millions of citizens. Like everyone else, we'd hope our parents can cover their own costs, but most of us would help if they can't.

The level of self centered thinking here is off the charts
