With the find-my-phone app via another device logged into the same icloud account. I have misplaced my iPhone in the home or car, and can track it via my Watch, Mac or iPad. I can also make the iPhone ring when I'm close to it in order to find it. The secondary device will show a map of where the lost device is pinging from.
Thanks. Can he find it with my iMac? He has a windows machine at work
Anytime some product analyst proclaims breathlessly that technology will bring us closer to some utopia, I just smh. Then I recall Paul Simon’s anti-tech-as-progress song Boy in the Bubble. It’s chorus ends with the words “These are the days of miracle and wonder, so don’t cry, baby, don’t cry.”
In other words, if all that technological progress Paul saw around him during the amazing 80s was so great, why does suffering still endure?
Tech is neither the meaning of life nor the answer to life.
Go to the Apple website, click on support, then the option for finding a lost or stolen phone. Now here is the important note: if "Find My iPhone" is turned on, then it can be traced. This is the first thing an owner should do upon receiving a new iPhone. You can sign on to iCloud with the same account as the missing phone, on either a Mac or PC. Or, use the app on an Apple device that will display a map locating the missing iPhone. Will work as long as the battery has a charge and the device is on.
If the "Find My iPhone" option is not turned on, you're out of luck and the recommendation is to report it as missing.
Don't despair. A few years ago I reported my iPad as missing to authorities. I even tracked it with the app on my Mac as it bounced around the City in someone else's hands. Via the app I sent messages to the display asking for it to be returned for a reward, and I remotely wiped the contents. Over a month later it was anonymously returned to authorities and I retrieved it intact. Maybe your friend will be lucky.
It's both a bane and a blessing, depending upon circumstance and is becoming ever more unavoidable. Learn it, let it make your life better where it fits into it for you. Learn it, in order to minimize or avoid the things you don't like about it. Total avoidance is almost impossible already, you just don't realize that yet because it isn't all that readily visible.
That movie China Syndrome doomed that idea. Same morons killed the idea of nuclear radiated food that could last for 20 years unrefrigerated.
In the 1990s I was predicting something like the Star Trek communicator badge.
Stop reading. It's a Democrat millennial writing this, and he isn't worth any more waste of your time.
AKA ... Any and all Bikers
Careful ... TG will call you a pedophile
Following technology in work and play during my 60 plus years on this earth I’ve seen each generation rely more on fallible processes and products considering such items an acceptable risk. Yet in the last 15 to 20 years it seems people are attached to a 25 pound “hello kitty” backpack everywhere they go and still dysfunctional equals to a baby bird. IOT’s are trendy, helpful and interesting etcetera but if your career , life and limb relies on such tech or data one needs to back it up with other stand alone analog and digital reference sources.
Used a pencil, a small notebook, small victorinox army knife and my old rolex submariner watch as analog tools as my work in explosives did not tolerate EMR of any type.
But in retirement I like my smartphone as its my favorite fun gadget / reference tool. Alarm clock, phone, weather, calendar, map, notes, phonebook etcetera when away from home or just lazy in the lazy boy recliner.
If its designed by man its “fallible” ...... folks should never forget that.
LMAO ..... gonna share that !
Me: pimping pedophile gangster
You: AKA ... Any and all Bikers
Go away. I am a biker and I am NOT a pedophile pimping gangster. For you to lump all bikers into that category is REALLY sick!
“Careful ... TG will call you a pedophile”
You are the one that called all bikers pedophiles ...
Thanks, I’ll copy and send this to him. He road tests a lot of cars so who knows...
“That movie China Syndrome doomed that idea. Same morons killed the idea of nuclear radiated food that could last for 20 years unrefrigerated.”
The movie just delayed things. A new crop of reactor designs are looking really good, and largely solve the “problem” of nuclear waste. Plus, Yucca Mountain is finally going to open...
The electricity won’t be free, but it should be less than five cents per KWH.
Sure you are TG
My fellow ALR and Patriot Guard riders will get a laugh out of that.
When did I every do that ? Delusion much TG ?
When did I ever do that ?
