I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

    There’s a pretty good chance they’ll get around it- if they aren’t already.

    Samsung TV? You have a Samsung phone? There’s an easy way to jump the air gap.

    Neighbor has a TV connected to the Internet? Send data to that TV and pretend you’re not connected to anything so the user doesn’t catch on.

          No it’s not, AirTags are just Bluetooth beacons. When an iPhone or other apple device picks them up, the location data is uploaded to Apple’s servers and then sent to whoever owns the AirTag. There’s no two-way communication and the owner of the AirTag doesn’t get any personal info from the devices picking it up.

      I’d like to see where in the EULA it states your TV and Internet connection are used for hauling your neighbor’s data.
