The security is also in the fact that the stolen devices are almost worthless becoming well known.
- thefz 3y agoYeah, the security of their profit.
- theshrike79 3y agoNo, security on the fact that when thieves break into my office, they leave the Apple computers because they know they are just dead weight with zero resale value. They grab all of the other hardware though, the ones with no protections.
- thefz 3y agoI'm having a hard time believing that these measures are by any means preventing theft. The scene with a thief going "oh no, it's an Apple device! I am not gonna steal it" is almost comical. Devices will be stolen anyway and scrapped/dropped instead. PSA: Enable Bitlocker and LUKS on your devices, folks. Your device is 100% going to be targeted now.
- nicolas_17 3y agoAnd then you find the place the thief dropped it at, via Find My?
- theshrike79 3y agoI have second-hand knowledge of a situation where a friend's office was broken into, the thieves left all Apple computers but grabbed monitors and PCs. The thieves weren't random crackheads breaking in on a whim though, they specifically knew what the expensive stuff looked like (colour calibrated displays, drawing tablets) and left the cheap and impossible to resell stuff alone.
