why would anyone in their right mind not set up "find my" ?
- iJohnDoe 3y agoThe location data could be subpoenaed later. Account could be compromised later and used to get location of person. Apple could get hacked tomorrow or 6 months from now and all location data leaked. Journalists. Human Rights Activists. Etc.
- the_black_hand 3y agoThe vast majority of people do not have to deal with these concerns. The odds of you losing your device are way higher than Apple getting hacked by orders of magnitude. If you are someone who falls into these professions then you probably should know what you're doing and disable it, or buy a different phone, or have some kind of backup security in place.
- hnfong 3y ago> The vast majority of people You said "anyone". GP gave examples.
- gruez 3y agoAt least on macs you can enable find my with location services disabled, which mitigates your concern.
- fh9302 3y agoFind My network uses E2EE so the location can't be subpoenaed.
- grishka 3y agoIt's the "guys please trust us we implemented our stuff the way we promised" kind of E2EE though.
- trynumber9 3y agoI don't set it up. Crime is not really an issue in my house.
- crazygringo 3y agoI mean... it's not until you get robbed/burgled.
- AlfeG 3y agoBut this may not help owner. Yes bugler will sell laptop much cheaper for spare parts, but he will not return it to the owner.
- crazygringo 3y agoOr it may help the owner, if they robbed a ton of valuable stuff and didn't realize the laptop was transmitting their location. If it works some of the time, that's valuable.
- trynumber9 3y agoDoesn't really happen here in the woods. I mean it's possible but such a remote thing I'll never worry about it.
- grishka 3y agoI didn't do it because while I do use a Mac, I don't need or want any of the Apple's online ecosystem.
