By the thief/shop who linked it to their account? IIRC you can still wipe macs without having the password as long as all the theft protection stuff isn’t enabled.

Yes for the most part in the modern economy gold is also a non productive speculatory asset/token just like bitcoin.

Are you replying to the right comment? But no, that’s actually the hard part. Something Apple did manage to accomplish quite well though (just like many other smaller companies would be able to do if there were no trivial patents preventing

by ffgjgf1 3y ago
Isn’t the issue in this case that the use didn’t enable “find my mac” in the first place, the thief was able to tie the device to their account and then brick it? I assume he would’ve been able to recover it if he had “held on to his privat

Well yes? As I understand it the owner chose to not enable the security feature. The thief however did. How else would you suggest this choice be implemented? Apple selling different models with or without the feature? Because then nobody w

by ffgjgf1 3y ago
Is 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

What happens when you lose it?

by ffgjgf1 3y ago
So both you and Apple would have access to that private key and you would be able to recover it from Apple if you lose it? Directly or the way it’s handled now. Cause otherwise it wouldn’t really work

I see you have weird imagination. What even makes you say something as silly as this without any provocation? I don’t care particularly about Apple or their watches. Yet even Apple can’t win against a patent troll that means any smaller com

If Apple ever bought Masimo it would be either merged into Apple or operate as a subsidiary.

Based on that definition Dutch also wouldn’t be a different language but a dialect within High German called Franconian. Now try telling Dutch people that they don’t actually have their own language and are all speaking Low Country German
