Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck
xavier666@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoHi there, I can see that the thief is currently using the device.
Will it be possible to send a link via my friend saying “Yo bro, check this meme. This girl is crazzyyyy <link>” which, once clicked, gets the GPS coordinate?
For example, it’s possible via browser to get the location of a device. Can the same thing be done on Linux? I can create a simple nginx webserver on my spare server but unsure about how to proceed.
afaik steam deck doesn’t have a gps module. you’ve to get any of their identifying information.
what you can do is perhaps sending memes with different cannery token redirects for each worker. send them around when the device is being used. That way you can compare tge grabbed ip with steam log and see which worker’s match. as the deck doesn’t have sim they either will use home wifi or mobile hotspot. both will work this way.
