I would really love to get a tracking thing but they're all 100% garbage.

Apple kinda figured it out. The problem is it is an inherently problematic thing. Any and all of these consumer "asset trackers" WILL be used to stalk and potentially harm people.

I feel like I read this about one of these trackers at least once a year.
