eufy SmartTrack Link $22.48, SmartTrack Card $22.48 Delivered @ eufy

80

Just noticed this 50% off on Eufy’s Australian website for the ‘AirTag similar’ (just no precision finding) tags and cards that use the findmy Apple app and network (with some extra features via the eufy app as well like making your silent phone still ring if the tracker is tapped). Coupons are automatically applied.

The tags have a replaceable battery: https://www.eufy.com/au/products/smarttrack-link?variant=460… these tags have an easily disabled speaker if you wish to stop thieves finding it.

The card says 3 year non replaceable battery and is not the thinnest of these types of cards at 2.4mm: https://www.eufy.com/au/products/smarttrack-card?variant=460… don’t know if you can disable the speaker.

Also some other sale items at various percentages (pet camera, baby monitors, e28 vacuum): https://www.eufy.com/au/collections/sales?ref=navimenu_6_cop…

$22.48 each, free shipping.

Time indicates it ends at 10.30pm AEST Sunday 5 October if I’m reading it right.

    not just about tile, applies to many tracker products

      The Apple find my network that these things use is end to end encrypted, unlike tile’s network.

        what about mac rotation?

        i'm not across it, it's more just a general warning to consider security implications

          Do you have any specific concerns about these ones compared to others?

          • @jm010: the wired article linked to in the eff piece might be the best mainstream coverage of the issues in play. i'm sure there's some infosec blog that's taken a deep dive but can't point you anywhere and it'd be well beyond me to understand that level of detail regardless.

            the problem is that unless a company has the interest and resources (interest can be ideological (open-source/socialistic control of the stack) or it can also be a medium term strategy to build a trusted brand), then it's very likely they are cutting corners and corner cutting with a product like this (and especially in the internet of things dynamic) leaves consumers extremely vulnerable to exploitation of one kind or another.

            a great many people glance over these issues (if they consider them at all) and think they are not at risk and if they are they'll worry about it if it happens. if that's your position then there's not much anyone can say that'll take the rose-tech-spex off your face to see anything differently.

            either way i really think folks should be giving security a lot more thought so at least if it becomes a systemic problem (something that's already happening) then they have some kind of foundational awareness they can build on to protect themselves in the future.

            • @0jay: Unless there is an evidence based article criticising AirTags (and devices like these that are certified to use the AirTag network) for the same reasons as tile, then your concern is misplaced. For example, I was easily able to find that Apple uses end to end encryption, and found a quick reference to rotating identifiers as well.

                @Binggggo: as i said above, if y don’t see it as a prob nothing i can say’ll change that.

                a lot of folks are happy using ring products, having alexa in their home etc etc that doesn't mean there's no benefit to pointing out that these products can compromise your security.

                it's not a criticism of your deal, it's a general caution about a class of product

                • @0jay: Thanks :) I understand and agree that a lot of products have security risks. Every smartphone, Apple or otherwise, will have security risks overtime, until/unless they are patched, for example. I am just saying the risks you have mentioned such as the Tile article don’t seem to have been attributed to devices certified by Apple to use the Apple findmy network. The eufy smarttrack is model t87bo which appears on this certification list: https://mfi.apple.com/account/accessory-search

                  • @Binggggo: there's plenty of discussion around demonstrating what a gift the airtag is to a controlling spouse, even in spite of apple's precautions

                    there's more than one intersection in the matrix of compromise that folks should be aware of, if not for their own safety then for the safety of those who might benefit from someone they love looking out for them

                    • @0jay: But compared to the multitude of other Bluetooth and gps trackers on the market, often ant lower price points, Apple’s offering is actually worse at tracking a person.

                      I was looking for issues with this item specifically, not the category as a whole. No one is disputing that- has all been well discussed.

    What’s the point of these? I tried putting an AirTag in my car and it notifies friends/family immediately if they are driving with it. Is the idea that the their just abandons your stuff?

      If you click the link, you'll see multiple useful applications for it

  • How is 2.4mm the thinnest card exactly? Fair few sub 1.8mm options on Amazon that are rechargeable to boot.

    • Links please

      I said “ and is not the thinnest of these types of cards at 2.4mm”. Note the not :)

      The nomad is the thinnest I’ve come across at 1.7mm I think. Although just read about the .9mm slimca but not sure how to source it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFBSLBXC

      • Missed that sorry. Slimca looks neat too bad it’s not widely available yet.

  • There are some enterprising people dissembling AirTags into a card shape, 3.4mm, but with the benefit of precision finding :) https://tinyurl.com/ykttmpex
