Another curious story from the PlayStation world. Consoles now have to be secured with an AirTag. It was a normal day – until the PS5 It had suddenly disappeared. A moment of grief, mixed with the panic of a modern tech enthusiast. Who can imagine going through life without their beloved console? So, what do you do? You simply buy a used one – for a mere $270. And hey, what the heck, quickly snap a photo of the serial number and a Air Tag I glued it in to secure the console. Because if there's one thing we know by now, it's that thieves love to target electronics.
AirTag and PS5 – A hot topic
So let's get to the question: Will the AirTag be able to save the PS5? Probably not. But what does the technical analysis say? This question Some Redditors are currently occupied withAirTags are small devices and shouldn't cause massive overheating. But with all this modern technology, nothing's truly secure, right? The band the AirTag is strapped to could theoretically get in the way if it comes loose or gets damaged. But hey, we're talking about a used PS5 that only cost $270—but apparently, they're not wasting a penny. Besides, who wants the thief to just discard it without getting a little attention?
Some people get quite creative when it comes to protecting their valuable electronics. While the AirTag does its job and might even track the thief through the streets, some truly ingenious minds have devised an even more drastic method: using their own guard dog as a personal protector.
Yes, exactly. Who needs a small, inconspicuous AirTag when you can have a huge, snarling Great Dane guarding not only your home but also your PS5? That'll probably make any thief think twice before touching your console. It's practically a "physical AirTag"—bigger, heavier, and with a guaranteed bite that no one should take lightly.
Of course, one could now say: "Sure, an AirTag is light and inconspicuous, but what if the thief distracts the Great Dane with a bone?" Well, there's always a plan B, but perhaps a dog is less easily bribed than a thief. And let's be honest, who wants to mess with a giant dog that's decided the PS5 is its territory?
The AirTag as a last line of defense – sense or nonsense?
What happens if the thief finds and removes the AirTag? It would probably be easy to dispose of the little device. But still, it might make the thief a bit nervous. Imagine him thinking: "Why is there this little day? It doesn't really want to catch me, does it?" Perhaps it is such psychological games that give me a little bit of hope.
But the real kicker is this: If the AirTag leads me to the thief, can the police use it as evidence? Theoretically, yes – after all, it's a kind of electronic "fingerprint." Whether the police would actually issue a search warrant based on an AirTag, however, is questionable. But who knows? Perhaps it will cause more than just trouble for the thief – perhaps also for a bewildered police officer.
And finally ... Whether the AirTag is actually useful in a PS5 couldn't be determined in the end. But it's certainly more secure than without it – and hey, if the thief really does get caught that way, then it's paid for itself. Of course, only if he survives the ordeal.
