@PooltoyWolf I buy lots of used Tile Pro (2022, for example) trackers on eBay and CR2032 cells in packs of twelve or more. About $10 apiece for the Tile Pro 2022, but they work quite well; I was getting a ping off the one in my storage unit nearly every day from various people walking by on the street with the Tile app installed on their phone, and I’ve had similar experiences with ones in PCs in a three-story office building.
@milelz FYI, Titanic was release in 1997 but won at the 70th Academy Awards in 1998. Since the Oscars are so early in the year, most winners are released the year prior.
I got some of the last batch - the round ones. They work well, but it was a major challenge to open them. Which had to be done, because the tab to let the battery connect broke off. On all four.
We’re team Android, we’ve been using the Orbit key trackers. Right now I’ve got yet another one sitting in my mailbox that I had to buy ONLY because (for the 2nd time now ) we can’t find the plastic key thing that you need to open it in order to change the batteries.
My guy keeps moving it when he goes on his unnecessary reorganization kicks at 3:00 a.m. He does this with everything… I’m so tired of buying stuff just to replace misplaced items! It’s such a problem that for the first time ever I’ve actually got a notebook with where things are kept. But lately, because of those 3:00 a.m. “let’s rearrange everything episodes”, it’s become useless!
Funny story…
Just last night I asked my guy what he did with the ibuprofen I had sitting next to me on the end table and he said he didn’t touch it. We looked around for it with no luck so I took Tylenol instead. About 3 hours later when I put my empty yogurt container down on top of the Tylenol bottle that was now sitting there it dawned on me that I bet my guy picked both things up, my empty yogurt container AND the ibuprofen, and threw both of them in the garbage! I told him to check the trash, low and behold there was my ibuprofen!
Now I’m thinking THAT’S where my brand new box of $30.00 silver cloth went that I’ve had him looking for all week!
I’m going to set the new Orbit up just to find that plastic key thing the next time I need to change the battery! 🪫
Who ever thought I’d need a tracker for my tracker…
@Lynnerizer
I have the same issue with my husband ‘nesting’. I tell him “Just leave it there I’ll get to it” but he still moves stuff and insists he hasn’t seen it. The worst is when he moves things and asks me where he put them. Only 2 people live in this house and I’m physically disabled so, ask him “how do you think it got moved?” Silly isn’t it, I think I need to put one of these on him so I can guess where to look for missing stuff!
OMG-OSH… that’s the same situation as us, I’m also physically disabled so he now does everything, cooking, cleaning etc. And he also asks me where things are, things I’ve NEVER even seen like his coffee or Keno tickets that he just bought 5 minutes before, his keys and phone are misplaced daily, at LEAST FOUR TIMES! Lol… It’s certainly not funny but it IS definitely laughable! 🫣
Another funny story…
When I first met him 36 years ago we had gone fishing, like in the first couple of weeks. He was leaning over some rocks that were in the water and the lens fell out of his glasses, he couldn’t see a thing without them! After a long time searching he somehow managed to find it! We get home and he doesn’t have his long pants or his wallet with all of his cash from his paycheck he had just cashed. We go back to where we were parked and thankfully they’re both still there on the side of road just off into the tree line. Who knew that would be my welcoming to the rest of my life. 🫣
Edited to say that he just now came through the door saying FOUND IT! Apparently he lost the Keno ticket he had just come back from buying. Lol
Lol You’re right and we have one! Too bad it doesn’t take a SD card.
I actually got it to keep an eye on Tuc when we stay at the casino but I just can’t bring myself to leave him. I swear I’m going to smuggle him in with us one way or another!
@Adamamesh@SputnikHQ I always thought the Apple “Big Brother” ad was hypocritical … they LOCK EVERYTHING DOWN! You even needed a special tool to open the Mac!
Normal PCs were OPEN … meaning that you could change just about everything in them! Graphics cards, memory, storage, input/output, etc.
So needless to say, I’ve never been a fan of Apple. Especially when they used to claim they "never got viruses " … maybe because they had such a LOW PERCENTAGE of the market?

@mediocrebot@zippyus This is now becoming an issue for me. I am trying to be quiet while I half listen to others talk, but I am in danger of snickering inappropriately. It will take IMPLAUSIBLE fortitude on my part to control myself, but I will try.
@Kyeh Oh, the other clue was using the $ symbol. That seems to be an escape sequence that converted “$13.23” into “.23”, which could be similar to saying a “.45” caliber …

Sounds good, BUT i have an Android device!! 🫣
@1DisabledWarVet What?!?!? You don’t have Verbatim OS? I am not sure we can be seen in public anymore.
Is the only significant difference that these ones can make a locator sound?
@Bretterson The other ones make a locator sound as well.
@Adamamesh Thanks, I’ve never needed to use that so I totally forgot.
I sincerely hope these have been made from recycled 5.25" floppy disks?
Surely, I hope they are not just further landfill.
/giphy don’t call me shirley
I have Chipolo since I’m an android user.
This might separate my cash. Will set alarm for tomorrow night before offer ends.
I’d be in if android. Ah well.
So this is what Verbatim is making these days. I wonder why they stopped making floppy disks…
For iOS users, they’re way cheaper than a set of Airtags. Way chunkier, too, but small enough to toss into a backpack or bag that might wander off
I’m glad this is after the gift exchange.
I need to epoxy one to my coffee cup. I am forever misplacing it at work.
@timwoody protip- put it on the outside of the cup not the inside.
Joking aside- I wonder how it would hold up to constant heat from the coffee if that would shorten battery life.
@OnionSoup Great tip except…I love the taste of epoxy in the morning…
Is this the 4th time this year already?
Got some rare TrackRs I’ll sell ya that prob work just as good
@JvB I believe I got rid/Gifted my last TrackR during the last Elfster exchange!
Funny how there is no mention of Georgia red. Typical of that fan base to run and hide.
Do not use on your dogs collar. Our dog ate his while we were not home and almost died. Had to have surgery and it was expensive. Learn from my error!
@MaxieBabie Glad your pup is okay, but sorry you all had to go through that!
But. But. But. Titanic won in 1997, not 1998. Did AI hallucinate this post?

I was just looking at these the other day over on SideDeal where they are double this price.
Hell yeah.

This only works on iPod phones correct?
@SputnikHQ Yes, I don’t think they work on the send-all-my-info-to-google-so-they-can-sell-it phones.

You mean as opposed to working on the sell-my-soul-and-info-to-Apple-and-pay-for-old-tech phones?
