Ozzie D, NP-hard :bikepump: :vegan:<p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> friends, I'm looking for advice on adding a BT tracker to a bike. Thinking about it after reading this Reddit thread: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/bikeboston/comments/1gtonde/stolen_bike_but_thanks_to_airtag_i_recovered_it/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reddit.com/r/bikeboston/commen</span><span class="invisible">ts/1gtonde/stolen_bike_but_thanks_to_airtag_i_recovered_it/</span></a></p><p>I'm not an iPhone user, so <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AirTags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AirTags</span></a> are probably not for me -- although I guess I could register one on an iPad, and check its location by logging into iCloud on a different mobile device? Google launched a competing "Find My Device" network this year, but my impression from reviews is that it's not yet very reliable at pinpointing tracker location.</p><p>I've browsed devices by Tile, Pebblebee, Chipolo, but I don't know which trackers hold up best to 4-season biking. Is it reasonable to stick one inside an aluminum frame tube? It'd be cool to hide a tracker under this cage-mount cover: <a href="https://www.elevationlab.com/products/tagvault-bike" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">elevationlab.com/products/tagv</span><span class="invisible">ault-bike</span></a> , but it would need to be the same dimensions as an AirTag (Chipolo's round trackers are 6mm wider in diameter, Pebblebees are teardrop-shaped, Tiles are rectangular).</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BluetoothTracker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BluetoothTracker</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BikeCommuting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeCommuting</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BikeNitePQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeNitePQ</span></a> (in case this question is of interest to the Friday night crowd)</p>
Brad Linder<p>Tile has updated its Bluetooth tracker lineup with four new models priced from $25 to $35, featuring longer Bluetooth range and a louder ring, as well as an SOS button. <a href="https://buff.ly/3B7zuQw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/3B7zuQw</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Tile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tile</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TilePro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TilePro</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TileMate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TileMate</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TileSlim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TileSlim</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TileSticker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TileSticker</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BluetoothTracker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BluetoothTracker</span></a></p>
