People always worry about malicious tracking and conveniently forget that you could buy GPS+cellular trackers years and years ago. They are 100% undetectable and very precise.
AirTags always need an iDevice to be close by to update their location.
- wepple 3y ago> They are 100% undetectable Nit: they’re very very detectable, just not using your off the shelf phone.
- theshrike79 2y agoIf we assume it's hidden so well it can't be found visually and doesn't transmit data constantly (deep sleep for X minutes, get GPS fix, send location, GOTO 10) - how could it be found?
- wepple 2y agoHeat signature. RF when it does transmit. If it’s hidden in a metal frame then it’s not going to get a good GNSS fix. And if you’re doing a deep sleep you’re powering down your GNSS module so not getting a proper warm fix.
