    If you told me 10 years ago that people would be falling over themselves to PAY to build Orwellian tracking network on behalf of corporations for no reason at all I’d have called you completely insane.

      How are they doing it? Have you read the specs on how the tech works?

        Pretty unlikely they’re doing anything other than BTLE (bluetooth low energy) and mobile device tracking, like absolutely all other “tag” trackers. Anything else would require enormous batteries in the tags.

      The reason is because people are too irresponsible and inept to keep track of their own property properly, but yes, unfortunately it is a sad reality.
