So this is getting to be pretty real and pretty scary. How many of you have actually considered just not using your mobile phone any longer? Turning it off, only powering it on when you need it, and not bringing it when you leave your home?
Within a lot of our lifetimes, this was the norm. Are these devices so useful that put up with carrying a tracking / listening device on us at all time?
FYI, powering off your iPhone does not prevent it from being tracked. It continues to broadcast a low-power Bluetooth signal other Apple devices will relay to iCloud.
"Participating in the Find My network lets you locate this iPhone even when it's offline, in power reserve mode, and after power off"
Settings > Apple Account > Find My > Find My iPhone

That must be the first “essay” I read by him. I just recall tweets and interviews
Sounds like the weighs and considers everything very carefully
Carmack also used to have some really insightful articles on AltDevBlog. I recently read his one on functional programming and thought it was very well thought out.
This site had nice re-uploads for the some of the articles. You can maybe google around and find more
