IIRC, this indicates that it's linked to someone else's account, and has not been shared with you. The "beep when moved" feature is to alert people they're being tracked.

For example, I let my mother in law use luggage of mine with an airtag still in it and every time she moved it after the first day or so, it would play a noise.

There's no evidence that this is the case, especially with the knowledge that the rate of expansion is increasing over time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_expansion_of_the_...

Rolling your own is probably your best bet as being able to check remotely typically means your camera streams are running through a company's servers.

Personally, I moved from BlueIris and I've been incredibly happy with Frigate which is configured to pull from my local IP cameras - none of which have direct access to the internet: https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate

You can check in via browser assuming you have some method of accessing your local network. Paired with a google coral device (or a beefy CPU) alongside local storage, it also has the ability to detect objects in real-time which often is a feature that requires video processing on a company's server.

Of course someone with an existing problem is most likely seeking a solution, but not everyone realizes there is a problem (especially if the existing solution works) until a better solution is shown to them.

How about how we conduct business: Face to face meetings -> phone/mail -> email -> online meetings, for instance. I'm sure people thought during their time periods that there could be better ways to do this, but they need to see the solution before they jump on board.

What an absolutely foolish reply. Do you shop on Amazon? Do you use Google search or Gmail? Do you watch Netflix? Do you use a credit card?

You have a thousand data points mined per day - an Echo or Google Home are no different from any other service that you may be interested in using. Especially as these devices are not "listening in" until their keyword activates them.

Only to the iOS versions currently being signed, which doesn't provide a huge selection. https://ipsw.me/ provides a nifty way to see what is available.

Should it have crashed into a moon that we later find life on (especially should the life be remarkably similar to that here on earth), whose to say we didn't send it there via Cassini in the first place? Avoiding this problem entirely seems to be the best bet, also allowing them to collect atmospheric data from Saturn on the way out.

Their keyboard (Gboard) has GIF searching functionality already - so it's certainly something they've implemented.
