 How does one verify that this is, or is not, happening?

It was discussed last year when Google "beefed-up" the FindMy Device feature, e.g.
my search terms were "Pixel8 transmit findmy while off"

They've now renamed it to "FindMy Hub" in Android16

And why did this thread which started in a different newsgroup appear
here?

I also wondered where <nobody@yamn.paranoici.org>'s message came from, no sign of a x-post, or previous group
