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…

The guy spammed a few threads talking about how great AirTags are and gave no context. Beyond that, that isn't what his comment said. It didn't even claim they were the most popular. You had to infer that on your own. I'm confused why you're confused. Probably because you joined a conversation, made a dumbass accusation that no question was asked, and are now backpedaling to still look like anything you say makes sense.

This isn't fruitful anymore. Enjoy defending people talking about how great Apple is unsolicited.

Here’s the comment I think you’re referring to:

Apple has the biggest tracking network right now. It dwarfs the others. FindMy network devices should be the clear priority. They’re more precise, encounter fewer dead zones, and in other words, are likely a stalker’s preferred tracker.

That seems to refute what you’re saying here, but I don’t understand why you’re so heated over this anyway. Airtags are the more popular and better tracker and that’s definitely why the android software prioritized them.

What about recognizing that makes someone an apple fan?

[–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That whole end bit was added later. This isn't rocket science. You'd know that since multiple people replied due to the unclear nature of the comment, including mine.

Jfc. I don't know why I'm even bothering with you. Are you like their little brother or something? Ffs.

[–] gayhitler420@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I see! That makes sense. You and the other commenters didn’t understand the technology and needed an explanation.

It still doesn’t explain why you’re getting so aggro about apple fanboys. There don’t seem to be any and even if the part of that post I quoted was added later the content and context doesn’t change.

This is the android community, did y’all get brigades recently or something?

[–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ugh. I'm sorry. I apologize. I don't argue with children.

[–] gayhitler420@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

No need to apologize, we’re just chatting. You can stop posting anytime you like.
