I’ve been fairly polite in this thread but I’m tempted to call you stupid. I won’t
That’s a lot of words to just call someone stupid and try to get away with it
The question regarding Bluetooth and plants is the giveaway this is an r/conspiracy-level post, and that you have no idea what you’re talking about lmao.
Did I get it wrong?
Oh boy, yes. This network tracks items specifically built on this protocol. It has nothing to do with “tracking your MAC address”. That’s already done whenever you walk into a train station and goes over WiFi. Which you can disable.
MAC addresses are not unique. If you know the seed for it’s random generation you might be able to track it across WiFi networks that you own, but you’ll already know where the user is since you own the fucking network. This is not a worldwide tracking network that can follow your every move.
If that’s what you’re worried about, I suggest ditching your phone completely. Because the “worldwide tracking network” that already works is called the cellular network, no need to build another one.
It an answer a C-level exec would give when they don’t want to actually answer.

Huh, I guess we just forgot Taiwan existed for a second there
What was it again? “Don’t attribute to malice when it can be attributed to stupidity” something something?
Exactly, the penalty is “losing” 10 billion moneys. It’s a high-risk/high-reward game that Apple can afford.
Nobody said that? What imaginary argument are you having?
I’ve been doing this for years as well since I once saw a calendar notification (which is at 9:00 for an all-day activity) stop my alarm after ringing for a second. Been paranoid ever since…
I don’t get what employers have to do with your health insurance in the first place. Is this some weird way to keep you working at the threat of your healthcare being taken away?
The US is weird af
Gather all the worlds subtitles under the guise of being “open” and then bait and switch when you’re the largest subtitles database out there.
The free API had a limit of 20 subs/day, you’re not going to tell me those server costs were significant.
To put this into perspective, if you make $100k/y: this is $30
In other words: a joke
Edit: and full disclosure: I’m a full-blown Apple fan
Just don’t give them access to your texts, contacts and photos? Like with any app that requests permissions it doesn’t need.
If you tell someone “there’s a fire!” with anguish they’ll assume it’s in the building because what moron phrases it like that if it doesn’t directly impact the person you’re speaking to.

If you mount your phone to your motorcycle the vibrations can mess up the tiny motors that are in the camera to make it focus.
The vulnerability seems to be that it can read content filled into a page, and since lastpass will autofill your password (usually, if enabled) it’s easy to read.
iCloud Keychain requires user intervention by default (using your fingerprint) so it can’t be autofilled in the background.
Still, many people would be vulnerable because 3rd party password managers are so popular.
I was talking about the iCloud Keychain, they are specifically not stored in the browser so malware can’t access it.
