@shortridge Run the battery down on your #Apple #iPhone and it will helpfully tell you that your "[phone is still findable]" even though the device seemingly powered itself off in a performance of being out of power to run itself. Our most ubiquitous personal devices ARE ALREADY FAKING being out of power so it can keep sending location beacons or whatnot.

A former colleague of mine who apparently turned to the dark side is now a Vice President of some #adtech company getting rich off of dismantling democracy. When I pointed out the above situation on Twitter a couple years back, he finally revealed himself by flipping me off emoji style and making his negging unignorable.
If pointing out always-on devices pisses of an adtech executive that much, I know I'm onto something.
