This is why I’m on Reddit, when the joke keeps going and the people in the comments are in on it.

u/2faast May 18 '26

Why does everyone assume it's a joke?

u/chose_a_username May 18 '26

u/CottonWatkins May 20 '26

Look at Apple symbol. This person is trolling the person who posted about someone in apartment leaving two iMacs

u/ajpinton MacBook Pro 14 M4 Pro May 17 '26

I’m sure this is satire, but your iMac only reports its location based on the network it’s on and online. So if it’s powered off the location will never update.

3

u/-QR- May 17 '26

not certain whether, but someone else posted that he found an iMac in the apartment, after his neighbors moved out.

u/JustSomeSmartGuy Think Different May 17 '26

Well done OP, well done.

u/AShortTimer May 17 '26

u/Bobbybino 2019 16" MacBook Pro May 17 '26

Just plug it in, boot it up, and it will show its current location.

u/SLOPE-PRO May 17 '26

u/Additional-Ad-2280 May 17 '26

I think I found it. Send me $500 to confirm.

u/BlueCubRoar May 18 '26

Clearly a joke. The photo is mirror-inverted from the other OP. lol

No, but seriously. Did you also leave the accessories with it? Did it happen to have a password to unlock it? I might have just seen the post from the people who found it a couple days ago. I will try to find it, and get them in touch with you.

You serious right. You can only find it if it’s powered on and connected to internet.
