You Don’t Have to Choose Between iPhone and Android With the New Chipolo Pop Tracker

Well this tracker does tick most of my boxes as I do like that it can leverage off both the iPhone and Android tracking networks, and that it also has separation alerts. The replaceable battery, with 12 months expected life, is also a plus.

The d ...continues

My Tile tracker batteries are starting to die and they aren't replaceable. Does anyone have a recommendation for other Android compatible trackers? How about the Pebblebee Tag for Android? Or Chipolo? I'm flying soon and would like to track my checked bags.

Aside from #blocking #trackers and #ads, my favorite #feature is a toggle to force #darkMode on every page.

This opens a *LOT* of attack vectors for #AI in #IoT especially if humans hearing these touch tones is normalized. Phone talking to your smart TV etc. Not all that different than frequency shift keying with nUHF #trackers cc @U039b @kaputnikGo

Google is CRIPPLING their Find My Device network with ‘aggregation by default’ setting

From the beginning, Google has prioritized being privacy-conscious with the Find My Device (FMD) network, including delaying the launch until the iPhone gained unknown tracker alerts. Google chose “aggregation by default” to the detriment of Find My ...continues

What is Trade-Free?

https://www.trade-free.org

Trade-Free is an idea that shares a lot in common with #FOSS, or Purely Free.

The diffs btw FOSS and Trade-Free is: Trade-Free can't include Ads, trackers, consumerism, etc. etc…

If some FOSS application got #datacollection, or you have to see #Ads, or you have to pay for #access, or there are #trackers, etc. Even if it's FOSS, it's not Trade-Free anymore.

So when the app definitely wants something from you, it's not #TradeFree anymore.
