No, I don't care. If an Apple user signs up for Find My on their laptop, then their laptop is stolen and they don't try to use Find My to recover it... I don't know man. It's a "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" situation. Meanwhile it provides the benefit where if you're sold a machine and the original seller can't be contacted to unlock it, it gets automatically unlocked some timespan later. It's not perfect, but it's better than the current situation.
- foldr 4y agoI guess at some point this is a subjective value judgment that's not worth arguing about, but help me to understand this. If you bought an Apple laptop, would you be more worried about (a) the laptop being stolen, or (b) an indirect recipient of the laptop being unable to use it because they couldn't contact you in order to unlock it? For me it's pretty clearly (a). If I want to sell the laptop, I can easily reset it and do so. If you think about it from the point of view of Apple customers (which is hopefully what Apple is doing), then the choice is pretty clear.
