  I fail to see how that’s Google Maps’ fault. This is the city’s fault for not blocking the bridge. Would people have complained if a paper map didn’t update all the collapsed bridges daily?

  CorsixTH has been around for ages, but nice seeing it still get some love.

  Subscription for Internet access is the one that’s always baffled me. What a stupid business model. I guess devices not belonging to their buyers is not a new thing.

  One week later and I’ve since looked into, ordered, and received a few pebblebee trackers. I’m very pleased with them so far. I might check how they track by leaving one at my partner’s place and checking if I can find it on the map.

  The reviews I had taken a look at as chipolo came out unfortunately made it clear that those trackers didn’t… Well, track very well. I haven’t researched pebblebees yet, thanks for the hint. One feature that I believe no Google find my device trackers have yet, though, is utilizing UWB for close-range tracking, like the Samsung ones do in their ecosystem. I’ll take a look at the trackers you mentioned, but I’d like to see some more development from other companies.

  All the times I checked, there isn’t any hardware yet that would be worth it. Chipolo sounded promising, but the reviews really disagree. I wish Samsung adopted Google’s network. Their trackers are fantastic and offer features no other company does.

  Only some of it. The ones at the bottom of the picture can be rubbed off with a wet finger.
