When you see the fan symbol like this you can usually use Apple Pay there.

Any of those RFID-type payment systems are safer than sticking a credit card into a slot or handing your card to a cashier because they have pretty good encryption for all their communication and usually generate one-time codes for thei transaction.

Harry, it works well only after another Apple device passes past your vehicle. ?One day my wife had passed another Apple device at an intersection, then the location of the vehicle stayed at the intersection for a long while until another device passed by our SUV & the location was updated. ?

It works great with patience, cellular works fine.?

Do AirTags work on wifi? Cellular data?

If I were to hide an AirTag in my car and if the car were stolen would the AirTag be traceable? If so would anyone be able to see it?

I hope this is clear. Bottom line is it worth putting an AirTag in my car in order to find it if it goes missing - for example if I lose it in a parking log? :-)

Re: SIRI has lost its mind...

 

My phone and my wife’s phone and the iPhone of a friend of mine in California all say May 5 when you just ask when Easter is. If you get specific about the Easter date for WESTERN Christianity it will give you March 31.

There may be a setting that tells Siri that I would want the Eastern date for some reason, but I can’t imagine what that might be.
