想不起東西放在哪?WHERE'S MY STUFF?

讓 AirTag「防丟神器」助你一臂之力

AirTags are a handy way to keep track of your things

 

就和許多科技技術一樣,這項技術也能用於行善或作惡。

AirTag的目的在於助人追踪物品或人。

已知有父母將AirTag放在子女的車上以便追踪他們的行踪。

然而,也有人在社群媒體上宣稱在自己的車子或物品上發現來路不明的AirTag。

當你知道有人在跟踪你,卻不知道那個人是誰,的確十分可怕。

由於諸如此類的事情層出不窮,人們愈來愈擔心AirTag可能會成為一種新型態的跟踪或偷竊助力。

加拿大警方便已調查到偷車賊將AirTag貼在高檔汽車上的案件;竊賊得以隨後找到這些車輛,然後得手偷走。

蘋果則做出反擊。

公司表示如果出現一枚未註冊的 AirTag與用戶一起移動,用戶便會收到通知。

而且當用戶回到家時,蘋果手機上也會顯示警告。

如果在私人物品上發現陌生的AirTag,更可以直接取出電池,輕鬆解除設定。

AirTag能夠提供極大幫助,不過或許你我也應該謹慎使用。

 

As is true of many technologies, this one too, can be used for good or evil. Its purpose is to help you keep track of things - or people. Parents have put AirTags on their children's cars to track their whereabouts. However, people are posting on social media about finding unknown AirTags on their cars or among their belongings. It's scary to know someone is tracking you, and you don't know who it is. Because of stories like these, concern is growing that AirTags are making a new kind of stalking or stealing possible. Police in Canada have investigated cases in which car thieves put AirTags on high-end vehicles. The thieves then found the cars later and stole them.

Apple is fighting back. If an AirTag that is not registered to you starts moving with you, you will be notified. An alert will appear on your iPhone when you get home. If you find a foreign AirTag among your belongings, you can easily disable it by taking out the battery. AirTags can be extremely helpful, but perhaps they should be used with care as well.
