Everyone who doesn’t throw that useless weird dongle out with the box will lose it immediately. This is not a technical problem and you cannot fix it with a technical solution.

- ffgjgf1 3y agoIs this the case though? From what I understood in the article: - Find My Device wasn’t enabled on the mac and it was stolen. - somebody reset it and tied it tot their account - then the same person passed it to another party and bricked it by reporting it stolen. - somehow the original owner managed to recover it Would the original owner been able to avoid all this has they actually enabled this security feature in the first place?
- JoBrad 3y agoYes, if they had enabled Find My.
