> Should we stop selling useful items when they can be abused? No. My points above are: 1: people go out of their way to excuse Apple of any wrongoding, part of it is because of the "cult", part of it because Apple is very good at PR and painting themselves always in a good light 2: Apple has, as usual, done the bare minimum to arginate the problem and hand-waved at it.-
Likewise some people go out of their way to disparage Apple because they belong to the anti-“cult”. Comment histories can be damning… Maybe adding something useful to the conversation by recommending a possible solution to the problem that Apple could implement to alleviate the problems would be more constructive? Here let me start such a conversation: Apple could spearhead a standard to make their trackers communica…
My solution is: stop buying devices made to violate their users' privacy. Good job on investigating my thoughts digging up my very public comment section, though. I am impressed.

I highly suggest you reflect on how you relate to other people; it would likely do you some good in your personal and professional lives.
OT, kinda. My eldest kid is in the final year of UK junior school so finally cut lose to walk to and from school as is culturally acceptable here.. I gave her a phone so she could let us (mum/dad) know she was on her way home from school, deciding to go home to a friends etc.. the school caught wind and apparently it was against school policy so she was disciplined (along with a number of her peers) - the extent of w…
OT, even more, my youngest kid (aged 6) just started the first year of [primary] school, so is happily walking to and from school as is culturally acceptable here(!!)
It would be so easy to end up thinking that tracking all kids solves loads of problems, but I firmly believe it really, really doesn't. to your child's school! They should be ashamed of themselves.

This thought process doesn't flow with me. Do you really thing some product manager at one point said "these airtags will allow complete tracking of our minions and their children, and we'll showcase them tracking other things to trick them into buying the product"?

This kind of snide, egotistical drivel is not why I come to this site. I highly suggest you reflect on how you relate to other people; it would likely do you some good in your personal and professional lives.

In all honesty, what you do suggest is irrelevant to me.
This article is not correct. They are banned, here is the official tweet: https://twitter.com/lufthansa/status/1578879849577385984
In the face of two conflicting statements attributed to the same source, one possibility is to believe the primary source, but another is to believe the latest trustworthy source. If you consider The Points Guy to be trustworthy aviation journalism (which I do) then it's reasonable to believe Lufthansa's clarification in response to the tweet you linked.

LH is pretty much the worst of the lot. Their employees will avoid helping you at all cost even when it makes their lives easier. If nothing wrong happens, they're ok. If any thing happens it's your fault. It's been like that for more than 10 years.
I always find those kinds of comments hilarious. Did you actually fly all of the airlines above, or you just hate LH because you normally fly Singapore Airlines? (perspective is important in those discussions). As a rule of thumb the oldschool companies always suck less than the cheap companies who try to squeeze every penny out of you in every way. (Or have barely enough fuel so they need to call emergency landing o…
Nice try. I've been flying a lot in the last 10+ years.
But yes. I have flown with LH enough. I've flown with them on their own tickets and UA award tickets. They will act like shit, and they will defend each other there at all costs. UA looks like an angel in comparison, even with the Dao punch out. Heck when, you offer to help them offload 2 pax and help with their equipment swap (as this LH leg is a connection and not the final).. they're respond with "WHO TOLD YOU THIS!".
What happens on an flat tire situation: Many times UA will try to help you out, even if it's a mixed ticket with US Airways.
What happens with LH: You will be repriced and expected to pay, don't expect for the agent to communicate accurately. Their behavior is that this is your fault and will be puzzled why you did this "intentionally". (That stance also goes to their own equipment downgrades, WX problems, staff issues on their side, not liking their own hostile/aggressive staff, or even if you want to fulfill all of the requirements of bringing your dog)
That is their stance, and their willful ignorance of the business. This is a "full service carrier" who acts worse than a LCC.
Airline stacking from what I've flown with:
Best EK, UA, TK, TP, KLM, US
Good: WN, BA, AM, CP, AA, LATAM, Alaska
Questionable but good: SAS, Agean/Olympia, AR, Insel
Garbage: DL, LH, EasyJet
