I don't see my account as a hawking service to make any money.. it's just for thoughts and opinions. This however is a legit experience of this tech being a life saver..
I'm a forgetful person at the best of times, I am also wanting to know where my dog is, if I was an iPhone user I would be using Airtags everywhere, I'm not I'm Team Android.. so I've been using the Chipolo tags, on our keys (my wife is always forgetting where she puts hers), on the dog, and most importantly in luggage..
On a recent trip to India my bag ended up in New Delhi, I was in Bangalore. The guy at the lost luggage counter had no idea where my bag was, I told him specifically where it was in New Delhi airport.. got it back early the next day, I tracked it to the hotel.
So I just bought 2 more for luggage and I can use on the dog again. I got a QR code printed on a waterproof sticker so it's on his collar
There is a link here, and I get a free Chipolo tags if people buy from it, not money.. I don't want money, a free tag sounds nice..

I wonder how many people have one of these lurking in the bottom of a drawer somewhere?
Anyhow, because of my ditching a phone completely in the near future to go full cyberdeck I need to switch my banking back to online web portal. Guessing this little fella will come in useful after all. #cardreader #usefultech
