To put it in simple terms, users will get the same kind of alerts and mitigation remedies for a covertly placed Bluetooth tracking device on their phone - irrespective of whether it is running Android or iOS.Īpple’s press release says some big names in the game - such as Samsung, Tile, Chipolo, Eufy Security, and Pebblebee - have already expressed willingness to embrace the new tracking and alert specification. Google and Apple are now doing the needful with an industry specification that will “allow Bluetooth location-tracking devices to be compatible with unauthorized tracking detection and alerts across iOS and Android platforms. Needless to say, there is a dire need for a standardized cross-platform protocol for Bluetooth-enabled tracking devices to level the playing field. The risk factor only elevated further if the victim had a non-Apple device in their possession.Īpple eventually fixed some of those flaws, but there was still a gulf of non-uniform safety features between those using an Apple device and folks loyal to Android phones. To recall, ever since Apple launched the AirTag, there have been multiple reports of bad actors abusing the tracking device for everything from car theft to spying on their partners. In the initial phase following its release, AirTag had inadequate safeguards for people using Android devices, leaving them at the mercy of a bad actor. It's a horrifyingly good read.Your phone may make a loud sound today - here’s whyĪ highly requested Apple Card feature finally went live todayĬontrol Center on the iPhone is a mess - here’s how Apple can fix it

When Jasper's afraid of the dark, Brown gives us a full spread that's completely black, followed by one that's all black except for two wide, frightened eyes. He renders the underwear in a garish green, the fluorescent color of nuclear waste, and for maximum effect, juxtaposes it against black backgrounds. Peter Brown's art is the perfect pairing. For instance, when Jasper cuts up the underwear with his mom's scissors, Jasper thinks, "She didn't like him using them, but this was an underwear emergency." And when he digs a hole to bury the underpants, the hole is "100% underwear-proof." All of which helps highlight his shaky insistence, "A grown rabbit couldn't be terrified of his underpants." Creepy Pair of Underwear! has a really clever premise - an ominous, indestructible pair of underwear straight out of a horror film - and author Aaron Reynolds tells the story with text that's hilariously dry and deadpan.

There's lots of silly, spooky fun in this story about a pair of underwear with a "ghoulish, greenish glow" that slyly plays on kids' conflicted feelings about their big-kid underwear.
