@Blort @lupyuen there's an Android app called Finder which is FOSS and can find phone location. It needs the phone lost is on and has network service, then it detects pre-configured sms then it can make sounds or report location and such

@lupyuen

I would really love a longer range, #FOSS alternative to #Tile / #Trackr, even if it doesn't have the pinpoint on a map feature. Just the part that lets you see if you're getting closer on your phone and push a button (on the phone) to get it to make a sound.

The problem with Tile / Trackr is that they force all kinds of location tracking to be sent back to #Google/their manufacturers by demanding location always be on, when I just want to find my keys when I need them.

@lupyuen

I guess im more curious who gets to pick what you evaluate and what you dont? IS it just whatever interest you that a company is willing to send, or do you have someone in charge who tells you what to review?

@lupyuen

Are you paid specifically to promote PINE products or just really love their products? ( I am fond of them myself ).

@lupyuen

Ah, Lup... You're one of my favorite mad scientists ever.

Thank goodness you're on the side of Good instead of Evil.
