    I once lost a pair of expensive Bose wireless headphones. Somebody told me that I could use the app and track their location. I said, oh hell no, they can keep them! Nice as they were, I will not be purchasing again.

        You and all your upvoters like to visit sites about privacy, and give people a hard time for taking measures to protect themselves. Lame

          yea i dont usually post in any random websites, but that makes sense. I guess i mostly meant what i said thinking it’s a waste to toss out something just because of tracking when there are so many other things they can track you with.

        I went back to wired. I’m aware the government will get it elsewhere.

        Not paying Bose to have access to it, and sell to whomever they want. Fuck that

        Also, you don’t know jack shit about my tech. I go out with nothing but a DAP very often.

          Even then, any mobile phone can be located with triangulation through cellular towers (afaik, are there carrier vpns?)

            Anything that sends requests to any network can be tracked. You can’t avoid it. That’s why I think having an offline device makes a lot of sense especially for data storage
