No, Foxconn needs to shut it down and move out of China.

Apple plans to expand AirDrop time limit to customers worldwide
shamino said:Before jumping into "Apple is taking orders from the Chinese government" theories, there may be other perfectly reasonable reasons for this change. Like, for instance, the fact that AirDrop has been used as a medium for sending obscene images to strangers.

By preventing phones from being set to "Everyone" at all times, you block most of this, since the attackers will only be able to send to people who already have him in their contacts list.FWIW, I leave my devices set to "Contacts Only" precisely because I don't want any possibility of a stranger sending me anything. I can share content with my friends and relatives, and that's plenty.BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!Ugh. Set yours to contacts, and leave the rest of us alone.

Level Lock had hidden Thread radio, will support Matter over Thread

Not to mention, if a friend who will be staying with me arrives when I won’t be home I don’t need to hide a key outside for them to use and hope it’s in a good spot and nobody noticed me putting it there.AppleZulu said:
Of course, most of those other locks won’t send an alert to the owner the moment someone opens it, so there’s that…mikeybabes said:The same lock which offers about 5 seconds of protection. Expensive lock cheap barrel internals from the dollar store. Not so secure for 300+ bucks.
Or when I’m in bed for the night and my SO gets panicked that the garage door isn’t locked I don’t need to get out of bed, go downstairs and through the garage either in the dark or squinting because I’m turning on lights to verify that yes, it is locked.
We go for frequent walks and exit/enter via the garage door with a deadbolt. Neither of us likes to carry our keys when walking, and with a lock like this we don’t need to.People act like $330 is a crazy amount of money. I know people whose cable/internet bill is almost that every month.$330 can get you a lock that's significantly harder to pick, one that would take an experienced picker a significant length of time, and isn't vulnerable to a low-skill raking attack. Or you can buy this piece of crap.Even a Kwikset Smart Key lock offers more protection, and they've got HomeKit compatible options available.
