AskWoody Plus..I reported earlier this year that Apple’s new AirTag tracking devices had weak security features.
Specifically, the button-sized, wireless key-ring finders are being used by criminals to track people and trail high-value vehicles to steal…
Android Tags have no privacy (just by being Android devices) and there are no reports of tracking people because there are no such alerts.
In Tom’s Guide report nothing is said about Android tags privacy, tracking, .. yet when writing about Apple’s AirTags privacy is a concern..
Musk was eventually forced by a court order to follow through on his buyout promises.
There was no court order. Musk backed and bought Twitter days before appearing in court.

AskWoody PlusWhat I read is that Elon Musk paid $44B for… the same sort of froth that comes free on a cup of coffee and lasts as long.
ROTFL
Good one Rick.Do you think he is kicking himself for buying Twitter?
Probably not.🍻
Just because you don't know where you are going doesn't mean any road will get you there.
