    Not fanboying, just saying why they are the biggest security threat, and therefore the right tracker to prioritize. That’s all.

    When Google inevitably rolls out a competing tracker and client platform, they will have the dominant network after a few years. Apple will have to follow Google’s lead and build defensive tools for trackers on Google’s massive platform.

      I mean, you went out of your way in multiple comments to not just say “Apple has a larger network so is more dangerous.” In fact you didn’t even say that. You had to let other people infer it from you repeatedly saying how great AirTags are and how superior they are.

      Like, you’re not wrong that it’s a larger network. But you could have just said that. You’re obviously a fan of Apple and preaching just a bit here.

              Are you kidding? It was fucking quoted. Did you even read the goddamn thread? They were answering a “why” it was only airtags. Ffs. Going out of your way to defend someone who interjected how great apple is for no reason. Can only wonder why you would defend it…

                Oh you mean the part of the op that person quotes waaaayyy up in their original comment.

                Yeah. The question was why does the android software that interfaces with trackers only support airtags. If you’re making a piece of software to interface with a kind of hardware your first target should be the best, most popular one. Sometimes those will be different things, like with phone charging cables. In this case they’re one and the same. Airtags are the best, most popular tracker.

                So the answer to the question “why does the android software for trackers only support airtags?” Is: “airtags are the best, most popular tracker.”

                  Yes, I’m referring to the start of the discussion, the part where if you want to claim any context, you need to be aware of.

                  And two, popular and best aren’t synonyms. In fact, pointing out how much better it is doest not answer the question. It answers why it’s most common. Being the most common is the answer.

                  But sure. Keep being a try hard.

                    I never said they were synonyms, just that the same thing is most popular and best sometimes and trackers are one of those times. After I said that I explained why that was the answer to the question almost exactly as the commenter you responded to did.

                    What are you trying to prove? I’m kinda confused…
