It's the Mass Effect.

It's coming from somewhere. Other dimensions?

Many people live with others (The rent is too damn high), and maybe borrow each other's things including bikes and cars. Many of these bikes are cars may have hidden away in them. This will cause stalker alerts.

The best solution for this would be a feature that allows a user to 'accept the stalking tag as friendly' for some length of time. maybe with an occasional reminder.

Because nothing cannot exist, its existence is forced.

How much of googles profits are from search engine?

he explains. The tag on his dog is registered to his partners icloud account. Additionally they do not have family sharing enabled.

The stalker alert is specifically 'i keep seeing an airtag that is not yours that follows you around'.

And pretty much everywhere else. If your English isn't great or is nonexistant and you can't write and you see a chance to make a quick buck why wouldn't you try and use it?

We track our cars, keys and equipment with AirTags. People who have iPhones are weirded out when they get these messages. Like if you are hanging out with someone and they get the message. Or if you go meet someone for business or espionage meetups with Langley, they particularly don't like that.

Not sure how this can be fixed though without it being abused.

While I tend to despise this argument, since it's often used to justify wank and sophistry, it is worth remembering that the history of physicists declaring something impossible is checkered at best. Proving a negative is just... really hard to do, but certainly the burden on anyone claiming a breakthrough in this area has to prove they've done something revolutionary... is very high.

tl;dr I share your doubts, but lets remember that even extremely unlikely ideas like FTL could someday be viable. It's unlikely for a list of reasons, but not 100% impossible.

There's an easy solution to this. Unpair it from her partners device and pair it to her device. I did this with my wife as she was constantly receiving alerts that she might be tracked. I never receive those alerts. It's almost as if Apple knows the gender of the owner and if it tracks a woman being tagged they see those alerts more often than men. We have 2 dogs, 2 trackers both paired to her phone not one tracking alert on my phone since registering.

Now can they pull energy out of me sitting on the couch

Reliable blood pressure without a cuff, without something in the artery... that strikes me as a much harder problem than blood glucose monitoring, and that's not an easy problem either.

The gatekeeping angle especially doesn't apply here. Clarkesworld normally accepts submissions from all and has no submission cost.

Your dog is stalking you! It’s what they do.

Got a 2 year old staff - sometimes, depending on what he gets to eat during the day, he has to go for a poop around midnight, so I get up, go downstairs and let him out into the garden where he will do his business, while I watch, so I can defuse the landmine in the morning. What he always does after this, is run(!) inside, sprint up the stairs and jump back into bed, so he can continue sleeping. Today I decided I might go for a midnight sandwich after I saw him going for the stairs. I was happy preparing the snack, turned around and guess who was staring at me, BukkabangSanchez, the Betrayer? I even feel guilty now!

Sure, and as I said, their search engine is going to shit. But I would say that like 90% of the internet is unbearable without an ad blocker. It's startling that a lot of people on r/technology aren't using them, based on this thread.

The content of most "children's" apps is far more detrimental than any data collection going on

The picture of the linked article makes me sad. So very sad.

Ouch, you hit me hard, I love that movies. Well played my friend.

I see your terminator franchise and raise you a dozen planet of the apes movies.

The Google play store feels like the Wild West, it’s crazy how little moderation there is. It’s been like that for so long.
