I guess that's true and I didn't think of it that way. I took it as buying one device over the other to run multiple vms in one machine vs running them in multiple single machines. I'm in that head space now as I'm playing that optimization game myself.
Oh I've looked for a while, as I am not a fan of apple software, but these things are amazing. True innovation. I think the only reason apple is the only ones with something out there like this is because they have the infrastructure for it. Samsung or internet providers are others in the position to do something like this, but I'm still waiting
They aren't some GPS tags, which would just gobble through the battery, they ping the nearest apple device. You can spoof an air tag with an esp if you are into that, but you still need an apple device. The real magic is again, the infrastructure. Luckily for me, my wife has a mac =P
It's the principal of the matter. Plus it's fun. Get fucked mouse!
