Apple's AirTags

This blog is to discuss if AirTags really prevent thefts...









Misusage

So I read a lot of theories on how these tags are actually helping in the thefts. So if you are a thief and stealing a bike with an AirTag, you get a notification on your iPhone and then you can easily disable that. But, it's not so easy. The Tag does not notify you that an AirTag is with you until you reach a landmark. So that the owner knows you stopped at that landmark. Maybe your house, mall or a restaurant. Now there is one problem with this. If I have an AirTag and I plant it in your bag for example. So you won't know something with a GPS is with you giving your location and telling the landmark you are at. So people can track you and that is both scary and creepy.

Good or Bad?

Eh.. A bit of both. So, it's great if someone is trying to steal your stuff but, it's creepy when someone is stalking your movement. But, this is the first time Apple is doing this so it is not perfect but, I believe it is a step in the right direction.

So basically. AirTags are not meant to be anti-theft anyways. You are supposed to use these when you can't find your keys or a bag. So don't buy these if you are looking for security. Buy them if you usually lose things here and there.

17' Razer Blade Pro 2019

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This laptop is SO much better than the previous blade pro. The thermals are crazy good. I would say that it is their best gaming laptop with awesome thermal performance. This laptop is brand new from this year, It is completely redesigned. It is their most expensive, most powerful and the most big-screened gaming laptop and it's a nice looking unit. I like this laptop a lot, however, there are some things which I want you to know if you're interested in picking this thing up! 1) Hardware The build of this device is very similar to the build of the 15' this year. It's got the same kind of design, shape, the light-up snake logo up front. It is very much an updated Razer product. I highly recommend you for getting a case or skin it if you buy a black one because even with very safe handling this device sometimes has dents and they are very much visible on a black one.         This laptop is obviously big...

OnePlus 9 - You HAVE to settle

This is a review of the OnePlus 9 and its comparison to the OnePlus 9 Pro and 8 Pro. This blog also includes discussion related to the missing OIS in OnePlus. Hardware There is a lot to like about this phone. I love the fact that it has a flat-screen and this was going to be my preferred phone instead of the 9 Pro but that may have changed. So the speakers are as good as the 9 Pro ones. They are not as good as gaming phones but, they're good. There is a solid 7-8 hours of battery life. There is a wireless charger but, with less but, still enough power. The battery is much more consistent than the battery on 9 Pro because of the high refresh rate in the Pro version. The Problem So I was sure that the OnePlus 9 camera was going to as good as the 8 Pro if not better. But, for some reason, OnePlus decide to remove optical image stabilization. This may sound very small but, the difference is huge and every OnePlus phone has had it till this one. Which 730$ does not have OIS. I am really...

16' MacBook Pro

These are my thoughts on 2019 16' MacBook Pro with improved thermals, better specs and new Radeon Pro 5000M Series GPUs. This laptop has been rumoured forever and many people had this device on their wishlists as well. This device is something special. The 16' inch screen is the least interesting thing to me. It looks like this is a device launched after a long time where they really cared about what users actually want. This laptop is slightly bigger and heavier than the 15' model which is obvious. The top of the keyboard now has a physical escape key and the keyboard is no longer a Butterfly keyboard it is now upgraded to a Scissor-Switch keyboard. It has a very similar mechanism to an iMac. The key-press travel has increased from 0.5mm to 1mm. It is a significant improvement and anybody who does not like MacBooks for the new keyboards; " Welcome home". The tried to use the Butterfly keyboard but I am glad that they are done with them, The second thi...
