Great, this “issue” is irrelevant to you and your off-topic rant adds exactly nothing to this discussion of a clearly defined risk. For other people who have made a relevant device choice, the point stands that it’s a non-issue since there’s no additional risk.
- procombo 6y agoHardly. Your privacy also depends on what devices your neighbors use. Bluetooth/Wifi/etc packet broadcast, etc. Apple does _some_ things to midigate privacy risks for their users, but not enough.
- heavyset_go 6y agoThis. My wireless networks, MAC addresses etc are collected on Google's end by my neighbors' Google devices for things like advanced location tracking.
- tekknik 6y agoBut note that now Apple has fake mac addresses (for wifi though) for this reason.
- heavyset_go 6y agoGoogle's advanced location tracking logs access point ESSIDs and MAC addresses. Whatever Apple is doing won't stop that.
- domnomnom 6y agoAs someone in a similar boat without an android, I think it adds to the discussion. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to see such rants.
