I've never understood using lead times as a predictor of sales numbers.  Lead times indicate how far behind manufacturing is in relation to sales.  It says nothing about manufacturing capacity or sales at all, only the moment-in-time ratio between them.  It's like trying to calculate a vehicle's range from just its MPG, without knowing the size of the tank.

It seems to me that the only thing we can really say about short lead times is that Apple's sales forecasts (whatever those were) were more accurate than usual.

Look out MapQuest

Oh yeah!  I can't believe I forgot about 1Password's Watchtower - it reminds you if a website offers MFA or passkeys, alerts you to compromised websites that you need to change your password on, and can even check if your specific passwords have been compromised using haveibeenpwned.  (Believe it or not, the latter is done in such a way that it's secure and no passwords are sent outside of your device.)

Another thing I like is that it's possible to dump ALL 1P data to an unencrypted 1PUX (proprietary) or CSV file for easy migration to another 1P account, or even an entirely different tool.  No vendor lock-in, which is also very un-Apple-like.

I'm sticking with 1Password, but for reasons that the average user won't take into consideration.  First, I've dealt with iCloud sync enough over the years, there's NO WAY I'd trust it to safely handle passwords.  I know it's better now than it used to be, but even within the last year or so, I've still seen rare issues with contacts, which is about the only thing I use it for.

I also like 1Password's security model with a password AND a strong private key required to decrypt the data.  I have a strong master password, but for most, keeping password data in the cloud is inherently risky, and a Lastpass-style breach can cause a lot of havoc without that additional layer.  Hopefully, the Password app at least requires MFA.  1Password is also VERY up front about the inner workings of their security, what data lives solely on your device and what is synced, and where decryption occurs, even when using the web client.  Such transparency is not Apple's strong suit.

And lastly, Linux support.  It was smart for Apple to include Windows support, since a LOT of their iPhone users don't have any other Apple devices.  But I need Linux, too.

You won't get an alert for at least a couple of hours after the AirTag has last communicated with its owner's device.  But even if you picked up an AirTag that had already been out of contact for a while, it has to have been traveling with you, meaning that your phone has to have seen the same, unknown AirTag near you, over time at multiple locations without that AirTag having been in Bluetooth range of its owner.  Even that would take a little while.  I could believe 15-30 minutes if you just pick it up and start traveling.  BTW, you cannot disable the AirTag using your phone, you can just mute the warning for 24 hours or so.  The only way to disable the AirTag and prevent its owner from seeing its location is to find it and remove its battery.

That said, you are somewhat right in that AirTag is intended solely for finding lost items and explicitly NOT for anti-theft purposes, because that use case 100% overlaps functionally with stalking purposes.  However, it can still sometimes be useful for anti-theft.  In this case, the AirTag may have still been in range of the owner's device when the tools were stolen out of his driveway, keeping the anti-stalking alert silent until the thieves had deposited the tools at the storage location.
