It's similar to the luggage-tracking feature Apple brought to the iPhone, allowing you to view the location of your Find Hub tag or accessory on a map, and provide your airline with a link to the information they need to track it down.
Compact, low-rise villages and cities made sense based on how far people could reasonably travel on foot or by horse. This was true all the way up until the late 1800s.

Detectives rely on the wealth of information held on the devices in 97 per cent of cases - double the number in which data from laptops was needed.

NEW YORK, NY- During the Albany budget hearing, Assemblyman Ranker Chan raised alarms over a series of car break-ins in his district, noting that 30 airbags were stolen overnight across two precincts. Overnight in neighborhoods including Bath Beach, Gravesend, and Bensonhurst, at least 30 cars had airbags stolen, officials said.

Honda and DriveOhio have teamed up on a new road safety initiative in which Honda vehicles are being used to collect real-time data that can advise about potential issues and road deficiencies before they become a problem. Honda's Proactive Roadway Maintenance System, which has been in prototyping since 2021, uses "advanced vision and LiDAR sensors" to identify issues such as worn or obstructed road signs, damaged guardrails, rough roads and emerging potholes.
Stolen electric bikes built around Bosch motors will be harder to sell, service, and ride at the end of January. That's when Bosch is rolling a new digital theft feature that lets owners mark the bike as stolen in the Bosch Flow app - no subscription required. Bosch rolled out a similar feature for expensive Bosch batteries last year, but it stupidly required a subscription to Flow Plus.
In statements made by investigators, the video was apparently "recovered from residual data located in backend systems." It's unclear how long such data is retained or how easy it is for Google to access it. Some reports claim that it took several days for Google to recover the data. In large-scale enterprise storage solutions, "deleted" for the user doesn't always mean that the data is gone.
