Brother, I'm a 10+ year network engineer... Bluetooth is a low power, low speed, short range(30 feet) technology. The power of Bluetooth signals are over 1000x weaker than what cellphones use to connect to cell towers. There isn't going to be any sophisticated "networking" happening between airtags. Your original post was almost gibberish, I had to struggle to arrive at the point you're trying to make. You can call it a network if you want but you're asking if it could be practical as a standalone, autonomous network and the answer is no. They lack the capability to communicate over any meaningful distance. Not much "networking" capability if it can't talk to other networks. Others have struggled to talk sense into you so I won't waste anymore of my time. Though I'd suggest that if you're going to argue against logic then you should be more open to reason.

I think you need to take the thought of "network" completely out of your mind. This protocol is specifically regarding devices such as air tags, which don't have any network capability themselves but rely on "connecting" to Bluetooth of the manufacturers models. The phones themselves are what gives tracking information back, based on GPS of the phone that was in proximity of the tracker.

The question that Google/Apple have is, how can we make sure people aren't unknowingly being tracked by someone putting a physical tracker in say, your car. THAT'S the "protocol" part. A protocol is just an agreement on how a technology is going to be implemented. If your own tracker is following you that's fine, the MAC address will keep changing. If someone else's air tag is following you, your phone will know this tracker has been near you for some time, and will tell you.

There's no empirical evidence that MJ sexually abused any children. He was also acquitted. Why does this rumor persist? Because some guy who has changed his story multiple times decided after MJ died that he was abused, despite previous evidence that he wasn't abused and that his parents tried to blackmail MJ?

I mean it's a little quip so you probably didn't think much of it. But he suffered enough while alive, is it really necessary to continue to assassinate his character despite him being dead and acquitted?

There's a documentary on YouTube called "The internet's own boy", if you want to learn more. Basically, he was offered a 6 month plea, but he would be a convicted felon, and basic logic/morality tells you that you shouldn't plead guilty to a crime that you didn't commit. However, the justice system is very imperfect, and often people plead guilty for reduced sentencing even if they're not guilty. He stood on principle until his legs gave out. they were already in millions spent in attorney fees. Not a shred of justice can be found in how Aaron's story ended.

This, and it's a way to make sure urban economies with investments stay stimulated.... If the companies said "okay, just do your job, IDC" then a lot of people would move to rural areas. Also, corporate office leases are usually long, like 15 years. If the companies stop paying their leases, the entire flimsy financial system would crumble, since modern economics/property prices are more about potential/theoretical value rather than real value. You need a big fancy building in a fancy city to attract top talent, high earners, so it keeps the class system intact as well.

Zebras are scary AF man. They will bite you and are very food aggressive. I went through one of these petting drive through zoos years ago, they have signs posted that say not to feed the zebras.... After feeding cows, bulls, horses, ostriches(which were scariest) I forgot to be cautious with the zebra. I tried to feed one and it bit down on my hand extremely hard. All the other animals were super chill and they grab the food with their lips/tongue but zebras seem to not be able to restrain themselves. They're crazy

To be fair, "cuh" has been a crip/gang thing for a very long time.

Undocumented is kind of a funny term, because the government basically says "we're not giving you permission to legally acquire employment because you're not supposed to be here, but if you DO find employment, pay taxes using this ITIN number(pseudo social)"

The argument isn't as vague as it seems. The only way America is ever truly going to be great again is if we reduce military spending, strengthen education /social programs and tax the rich. It really is a war of the have and have nots, at the end of the day.
