  • What to expect from Apple 'AirTags' tracking accessory in fall 2020

    The privacy first aspect of “Nearby Interactions” and UWB is way ahead of Tile et al, I’ve been a Tile user since day 1 but the privacy issue and the hindrance of needing another Tile user rather than the many millions of iOS users is Tile’s Achilles’ heel.  Not sure about Tile’s policy on sharing location data but I’d be worried about them or their less viable competitors cashing out with my data. Sort of like what Google allowed with it’s “embrace,  extend, and sell” of iBeacons. 
    Apple has learned to be a little more careful than the companies that claim the low hanging fruit. I suggest that most of Apple’s contribution to the COVID-19 contact tracing is a product of Apple’s work on AirTag privacy and that Googles contribution was just adapting it to droid.

  • Google to buy stake in ADT in $450M Google Nest security deal

    Google as creepy security guard, except this one watches everyone, everywhere and gets paid to sell the information on you.
