How do you think he got matched up with the Libyans? It's not everyday you get offered to help smuggle nuclear material...
it's a hard thing for me to wrap my head around, but it's cool when you think about it: there's actually no possible shared reference; even with atomic clocks, based solely on the bouncing of cesium atoms ticking away, the distance travelled is dependent on acceleration in your reference frame.
relativity really is!
gimme that black ICE
hard disagree; "concept of throwing", imo, is accurately predicting some complicated physics and then making the split second adjustments to fling an object from your body elsewhere with enough force to be useful; that it's kicking rather than hand based doesn't seem relevant imo, it's still about accuracy and weird spin and dexterity.
it's a bit different, in that they're just constantly broadcasting a singular id, over and over. The "tracking" is the application on various devices which receive the broadcast and report it to Apple, along with that device's location.
Sidewalk was packing up actual user data and running it over your network, which has other implications.
Edit: ise if you have an airtag in the middle of nowhere, and there're no apple devices around to receive the broadcast, there's no way to track the tag. They work well in cities just because of the sheer density of iDevices out there.
I hear you, but I think a lot of us just amortized that cost over time as we've gotten those devices, same as you will now, but at least it's cheaper to start now than 5 years ago?
not at all defending or praising the idea, but I'm very sure the foundation of my house is larger than that.
if I want to follow you home, I buy an airtag, drop it in your purse/truck bed/gym bag, wait for 45m and then go to where the airtag is.
That's why it's referring to anti stalking protections; the devices work too well, and allow you to track all sorts of things, even stuff that doesn't belong to you, or that has the agency to not want you to.
This; born in 85, have much more in common with kids from 1975 than 1995, culture wise (land lines! pre Internet times!).
muppets from space is both one of my favorites, and contains the travesty that is whatever happened to Fozzie's writing.
