Thanks for that suggestion. I thought that AirTag could not be used to monitor kid location though, as they will deactivate if far from the original iPhone.
They’ll work just fine, assuming your kid comes back to you frequently enough. Only downside is you’d only get a kid location if near someone with an iPhone.
So the GPS functionality is meant to communicate back the location over the internet? If all you need is offline music and GPS with maps, an old smartphone without a SIM card is the best option. If you need internet connectivity, an old smartphone is probably still the best option, but with a SIM card. Just lock it down if you're worried about various apps.
Another option would be to buy one of the dedicated kid s̶p̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ tracking devices and tape it to an iPod.
I definiteely understand your frustration. I have the same emotional reaction when looking for alternative devices. But really, a cheap phone is the best solution
I recommend using a custom rom with a funky UI (lots to explore!) so it'll feel different from your phone!
Yes, I have seen that argument often. I agree number of CVEs is a very rough metric. However, I am still confused as to why none of Chrome's CVEs would be Brave's CVEs?
The argument is, fundamentally, that it's not even that. It's not a rough proxy for the thing you want to evaluate, it's not any kind of proxy for it at all - that's a qualitatively different argument from your restatement of it.
If you want a very rough comparative proxy, an obvious one is 'Brave is a much smaller downstream consumer of Chrome, Chrome has a larger security team/infrastructure than Brave has employees'. I think you can draw more meaningful conclusions from that alone than from CVE tallies.
5 months is a long time, and he's "disappeared" in the sense that there has been no communication from him. It's not just a matter of not playing chess.
I am willing to be a bit more generous in my interpretation, and assume it comes more from the difficulty of solving problems as a central authority, rather than cynical egotism. But I can see how one can arrives to your viewpoint, and in any case I think we both arrive to the same conclusion: expecting the current forms of governments to solve modern problems is doomed to fail.
Some people indeed want a much more radical change than an upgrade on Capitalism. I do not see any concrete proposal though, and I feel it would be more difficult to implement than an upgrade.
