You mean everybody doesn’t tag their wives and girlfriends? I find that the ear lobe is a good location to place them

One major Solar EMP burst away from the burst of the technology bubble. Inevitably speaking, of course.

Whenever I broke up with a girlfriend, it was my fervent hope to never see them again.

Apple being sued in class action suit by two women who claim that they were being stalked by use of Apple AirTags so Apple MUST somehow be responsible for illegal use of their products by the stalker and that Apple did not do enough to prevent AirTags from being used to stalk them. The purpose of AirTags is to locate lost or missing items. The use of those devices to follow someone illegally is NOT something Apple is responsible for.

Would this not be similar to holding manufacturers of beer, wine, and spirits responsible for the misuse of their products, McDonalds responsible for the obesity of their customers, gun manufacturer’s responsible for the criminal or accidental acts of the misuse of their products or the accidents and misuse of the products of the automobile and aircraft makers?— Apple PING!

Technology will be the downfall of modern society.

We should have stopped at the telegraph. That was enough technology. Mankind can’t handle what we have now, and it will only get worse.

...she discovered a tracking AirTag inside the wheel well of one of her back tires.

When did they start installing wheel wells on tires?


What is she suing for? It is a TRACKING tag. It was bought to TRACK things. Why not sue Google for providing maps to her house?

This is ridiculous. Anyone who has any mobile device turned on (not just an Air Tagged) is always tracked. How do people think the network knows what tower to use to connect them for calls, texts, and other data? Also, how is it Apple’s fault someone misused their tech? Again, ridiculous.

From Mac Daily News:
Apple sued by two women alleging AirTag facilitates stalking
Tuesday, December 6, 2022 1:06 pm

Apple has been sued by two women who allege that the company’s AirTag devices have made it easier for stalkers to track victims.


In a proposed class action filed on Monday in San Francisco federal court, the women said Apple has been unable to protect people from unwanted trafficking through AirTag since launching what it called the “stalker proof” device in April 2021.

Monday’s lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for U.S. owners of iOS or Android-based devices who were tracked by AirTag or are “at risk” of being stalked because of Apple’s alleged negligence.

One plaintiff in Monday’s lawsuit, Lauren Hughes, said her former boyfriend learned where she had moved to avoid him after placing an AirTag in her car’s wheel well.

MacDailyNews Take: Baseless.

Apple AirTags / FindMy system work very well, as people with whom unknown AirTags are traveling are notified.

AirTag and the Find My network are designed with privacy at their core. AirTag and Find My network accessories have unique Bluetooth identifiers that change frequently. This helps prevent you from being tracked from place to place. When the Find My network is used to locate an offline device, AirTag, or other Find My network accessory, everyone’s information is protected with end-to-end encryption. No one, including Apple, knows the location or identity of any of the participating users or devices who help locate a missing Find My network accessory.

AirTag and the Find My network have also been designed to discourage unwanted tracking. To discourage tracking without your knowledge, Find My will notify you if an unknown AirTag or other Find My network accessory is seen moving with you over time. An AirTag that isn’t with the person who registered it for an extended period of time will also play a sound when moved so you can find it, even if you don’t use an iOS device. If you detect an unknown AirTag or Find My network accessory, use the steps below to learn about it and how to disable it.

If you find an AirTag or a lost item with an AirTag attached:

If you see an “Item Detected Near You” message:

If you see this message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS or iPadOS 14.5 or later, an AirTag or Find My network accessory that has been separated from the person who registered it is traveling with you, and the owner might be able to see its location. It’s possible that the AirTag or Find My network accessory might be attached to an item you’re borrowing. Follow these steps to turn off these notifications or disable the AirTag or Find My network accessory:
