Do you use smart tags?

[bwana]

Do you use an electronic finder smart tag such as Samsung's Galaxy SmartTag, Apple's AirTag, or a Tile?

Are you concerned about privacy issues?

 

[Dan C]

Nope. Never heard of it

 

[Pegging]

One on my key ring and one in my wallet.
Want to test one on my cat.

Which ones do you use?

Nope. I know where my stuff is.

My wife is a shocker when it comes to car keys. So I got a 4 pack of Apple AirTags on black Friday to replace the Tile she used before. Wife uses one, son uses one for his house keys, still got 2 in the drawer. I guess I'll pop one in a suitcase when I fly next time.

Edit: Changed from other to yes because I guess I'll be using shortly when flying.

Obviously you don't have enough stuff.

Same here. And I taught my kids since they started walking to always put things on the same place and they will never have to search for anything.

Do you trace them by the house keys?

I have plenty of stuff, but smart tags aren't really appropriate for most of my things. If someone gets into my house and takes my fridge or computer, I am most certainly not going after them. Keys and wallet I've never really been the sort to misplace: they're either in my pocket or in my bedside draw.

Giving it some thought now, the only thing that I'd consider putting a smart-tag on is my dog.

What do you mean? If she can't find her car key, she pings it.

You should tag your remaining kids, just in case.

I am fascinated that people misplace things. It boggles the mind. Its very simple, everything has its place. put the thing in its place.
I think these tags will just make one even lazier.

A semi-serious question - would these work with my kids at a large outdoors school event? (Asking for a friend I mean - they might have misplaced a kid or two over the years, definitely not me).

 

[Leno]

Have one in my wallet, and put one in my luggage on flight overseas to see how often I could track it

Would be interesting to put one in a parcel and post it to SA via post office

Edit: Airtag

Yeah generally you can track it to a few feet once you are close

OOH look at Mr "I have all my sht together all the time" over here.

It may come as a surprise, but some people struggle with things you don't.
