He was told the usual: laws, security, geopolitics. But then he stumbled across something odd – an old post claiming someone had tracked their AirPods using Find My on Baengnyeong Island, a remote Korean territory. If the feature was illegal under Korean law, he thought, why did it work there? […] users were able to find lost backpacks, wallets and AirPods for the first time, along with some long-overdue peace of mind.

    So people being able to find hundreds of dollars of lost personal items is a bad thing? Have you ever been happy?

      It’s obviously a good thing but it took a lot of effort and there are other more important problems is all I’m saying.

        And what problems would you have them solving? There are billions of us, we can have some people handling the less intense stuff. Yea, if there was one guy scrambling to fix the world that’s a weird place to start but that is so, so far from the reality of the situation.

        This helped people and that is a good thing.
