An Apology

Do Iphone users get notifications everytime an airtag is nearby them??

Nice apology, though weird flex about their expensive bikes in there

1. This is so dumb. You can be tracked any number of ways. The AigTag with or without sound is the dumbest way to track someone. 2. Physically disabling the AirTag speaker is soooo easy. It took under 3 minutes to do it on the AirTag I hid on my motorcycle. 3. "An Apology" is more like a weird advertisement (I guess it worked, I read the stupid thing. But, in fairness, I've now blocked their site in a custom ublock filter, so hopefully I never stumble on it again). 4. They have expensive bikes... Why? Who cares? That's not relevant to anything!? Why did they put that in there? Was this written by a 4th grader? Fuck me. I wish I had just read more AI slop instead.

Vibe-coded clone in 3..2..1.. While I understand the reasoning this is just virtue signaling in a time where software is free.

> Elevation Lab stops selling its AirTag “silencer.”The tool, which Six Colors recently slammed as “appalling,” pierces the AirTag’s speaker, preventing it from emitting sound. While Elevation Lab says it designed the tool to prevent thieves from detecting the presence of an AirTag, it also disables an anti-stalking feature that audibly alerts people when an unknown tracker is following them. > Elevation Lab says it has stopped selling the tool and will use its “patent on it to prevent anyone else from making one in the future,” according to MacRumors. https://www.theverge.com/tech/1010718/elevation-labs-stops-s... Provide the full context when you apologize, not whitewash what you did. Go on a ride on your more expensive than car bike, maybe that will help you reasses your product ideation.

The "read more" link points to the same page. There is no more to read apparently. Why does this seem suspicious?
