> while in motion over a certain speed, they will not transmit their location

And how do you suggest the Airtag will know its speed?

Really, people

Airtags do not use UWB for being located remotely. They are just a bluetooth beacon with some nifty crypto protocol.

UWB is only used to find them when they are a few meters from the iPhone they are bound to.

Just disable the find my network.
Of course then your devices are locked out of the service, too.
There is no leeching, which is very okay.

You are late to the topic. It has been discussed ad nausem.
And you obviously donâ(TM)t own an Apple device, because you could decide to keep the feature turned off, then.

I vividly remember the incompatible power bricks with attached cables from Nokia, Sony, Motorola, Siemens. I have a box with those abominations dating back to last millenium.

And I remember that iPhone had a USB power brick from the beginning. I‘m quite sure that my first iPhone power brick is still working and maybe in use somewhere in my house.

Online trolling seems to be preferable to becoming cannon fodder in Ukraine.
But don't feel too save: Once Russia runs out of soldiers to send to Ukraine, Putin will sent you and your friends, whether you trolled on Slashdot or not.

Nuclear energy needs massive amounts of water. This is why France, who is basically getting all its energy from nuclear power plants, is struggling currently, as in every dry and hot summer.
And sometimes in winter, too.

> Maybe eventually this humanist nonsense will stop and we'll actually focus on working out the problems with green tech BEFORE deploying it at scale rather than demolishing old, working technology without having a replacement for it as was done in places like Germany.

Ah yeah, can you please elaborate on what currently is Germany's problem with "going green" from an engineering perspective - besides from Putin going nuts?

> There are aluminum wires, but aluminum is prone to hair cracks under mechanical stress, creating a piece of wire with much less cross section,

We made a lot of progress in metallurgy within the last 50 years, but I don't think that we put a lot of energy :-) into improving aluminium alloys for electricity transport. So there may be a lot of room for improvement, at least compared to carbon nano tube stuff, which still is rare and bordering science fiction.

Hey, we all died last year because of the vaccination.
The tinfoil headed idiots are still around because someone decided we'd go to hell...

From a specific angle the cluster forms a message that reads
"We apologize for the inconvenience"

You will die one day anyways, can I intentionally run you over with my car?

Nobody would put so much energy into making up two lines describing this kind of coffee - I bet you either consume or serve this kind of "beverage" :-)

As a smart person of honour you wouldn't write your comment if you weren't in the know about details.
What kind of offer did Channel 4 make? I'm genuinely curious.
