…TIL furries have any relation to gay people (except I don’t actually believe they do)

didn’t

Past tense.

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.

I would empathize with this issue, but it’s just not been my experience. Most of the time if I’ve done something reasonable I either get no error or a pretty easily google-able one. I’ve been using Linux pretty exclusively for a couple of years. I admit I had help from a guru for the first couple months but then again most of his help came into play with more advanced developer kinds of issues.

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.

AirTag was announced on April 20, 2021,[3][4] made available for pre-order on April 23, and released on April 30.

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.

Do you not realize that search engines exist? Probably 75% of people who resolve Linux errors by googling them had no clue before doing so

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.

True, but presumably op probably has an sd card if they say they do.

Edit: I see both ways of reading their statements on re-reading them.

There are other comments here which might have some relevance but imo this one is the most likely the most applicable. I’ve had this experience with other filesystems over and over and it seems like it’s almost always a problem. Apparently NTFS supports permissions in a similar way to Linux if you set it up exactly right, but I’ve never taken the time to try that.

Some users are going to get so mad about this post

if we where to only include the opinions of the retards themselves (those brave enough to identify themselves in this comment thread)

I saw you make that claim and doubted it but when I gave you the benefit of doubt and read the entire thread, I found one person claiming to be this and two autistic people. I’ve never ever heard this word used for them unless in an extremely derogatory manner. No doctor would’ve ever said that except before autism was a term and they only did it then out of confusion.

Your comments in this thread kind of say it all. Others should pay more attention to them.

You’re pretending to really want to know what the consensus is, but in fact you know what it is and just want to argue against that. Good faith means you’re honest about your intentions whereas you aren’t

Reading your comments ITT it’s obvious you’re bringing no good faith here. Not sure why so many people are letting you off the hook
