After being on hiatus for almost a year Calyx OS has started releasing again. A degoogled Android ROM for Pixels, Fairphones, Shift phones and Motorolas.
How do you locate your phone if stolen, find my device, if not Google… I thought about doing that step but I don’t find a replacement for “Find my Device” and Wallet (NFC Payment cards) … Otherwise I would do it. So how do you do this?
I honestly haven’t thought about it too much. I think you can get a cheapie bluetooth watch to send you an alert if its nearby.
You can probably enable Google’s find my if you want, but then what’s the point of having a secure phone if Google always knows where you are?
Not too be to defeatist about things–there may be a solution out there for you–but a lot of the conveniences of modern life require trade-offs that we are encouraged to not think about.
Since the armed robbery in march I keep thinking how to manage the location thing to find the device…
