Sooooo.... Could I like, entangle a particle I have with a particle that is currently near or on the surface of the sun and something something profit?

Reply to Apple is convinced my dog is stalking me. A vital AirTag safety feature is incorrectly notifying me every day. by MayoFetish
Wait what?
Recently my AirTags have been pinging randomly when moved, even though they are successfully connected to my phone all the time (maybe separated for a few minutes every few days - we are talking keys and wallet here).
I thought that this would be an article about this bug or something, what is this clickbait.

>The biggest example of this is Safari being the """fastest browser""" because they disabled most WebKit features that took effort to optimise
Safari genuinely used to be the fastest browser when Apple was pushing it. I hadn't heard anything about them boasting it's faster while disabling features. Source?
>Or the time they claimed that you could make a feature film with final cut and an iPhone because ONE under budget studio made ONE indie film that barely anyone watched
What's wrong with that? If a feature film was made, then it's possible to make a feature film.
>Or the claim that Macs never get viruses, despite them having some absolute conkers in their time
As far as I'm aware, during the era they were making those claims, they never did. Oh, sure, some research labs made viruses as proof of concepts, but none got into the wild.
They did have a small amount of malware, however, but no viruses.
>...and the only reason they made that claim was because so few people used Macs at the time that nobody really bothered to make viruses for them, which rapidly changed with their popularity
MacOS 9 - before Jobs came back and replaced it with an entirely different UNIX based OS - had plenty of viruses and even less market share. So, if what you say is true, why did people bother to make viruses for Mac OS 9, but not Mac OS 10?
>Or the multiple times they've been announcing and delaying their self driving car
Apple has made no announcements regarding any car they may or may not be working on. Ever.

Have they actually announced a self-driving car? I thought it was all in "leaks and rumors" category.

The energy fluctuations appear random, just like if the particle was not entangled. It's only with the information you got from the other entangled particles that the fluctuations become non-random.
Here's an analogy. You roll a die repeatedly and you need to guess when the die rolls six. But the die rolls are perfectly random, so with lots of rolls you can't guess right more than (on average) 1/6 of the time.
But this is a quantum die and your friend has another die that is linked to yours and rolls the exact same sequence of numbers as your one (though in isolation it's still perfectly random, just like your die). Now you can guess the six consistently; your friend just has to tell you what they rolled.
But even though the die are linked by some spooky method that travels faster than light, you cannot use this to transfer information faster than light. Because there's no way to influence what the sequence of numbers will be.

They constantly make claims that are "half true" about their products
The biggest example of this is Safari being the """fastest browser""" because they disabled most WebKit features that took effort to optimise
Or the time they claimed that you could make a feature film with final cut and an iPhone because ONE under budget studio made ONE indie film that barely anyone watched
Or the claim that Macs never get viruses, despite them having some absolute conkers in their time and the only reason they made that claim was because so few people used Macs at the time that nobody really bothered to make viruses for them, which rapidly changed with their popularity
Or the multiple times they've been announcing and delaying their self driving car
However, the stuff with their watch always seems to work, so I'd go with the product lines past performance, rather than trusting Apple as a brand, I have hope that this will be somewhat usable or at least shippable

You can tell it not to alert you. Your phone even makes the offer when it tells you a tag is following you. I learnt this the second day my wife and I got some and I borrowed her keys. Since we share location with each other in family sharing I can see all her tags in find my

Yeah cannot allow anyone to ask questions that might have embarrassing answers for the political elite if answered fully and without censorship / propaganda in the answer.
Fucking XI showing just how insecure he is and how much his rule relies on lies, propaganda and censorship, he wouldn't survive if the light of genuine facts was to hit him

Smartphones arenβt subsidized by insurance. A wearable that promotes health and could be proactive for certain afflictions would be huge.
