Next, we are going to analyze which is the locator that best suits you according to the mobile phone you have and your needs and budget. One of the essential things when it comes to understanding these devices is that They use the network of nearby users to locate each other. The AirTag works because there are millions of iPhones passing nearby and the same goes for those compatible with Android’s Find My network. In Spain, it must be taken into account that there are more Android mobile users than iPhones, while Tile (which we will also analyze later) only works if users have the Tile app installed, so if you live in a lost town, it will not be of any use to you.

The best thing about its chip is that it is very powerful and precise, allowing your phone to tell you that the object is “two meters to your right” with a centimeter precisionsomething that normal Bluetooth does not do. In addition, it is considered one of the best since there are many iPhones in the world (and also in Spain), which makes locating objects much easier. Faced with this precision, the AirTag has a but and that is that it sells you an incomplete product.

A man found a wallet with more than 800 euros and took it to the police. Now they are yours thanks to a law from 1889

Tea you find a wallet lying in a train car and there is no one around who could have fallen. Inside, more than 800 euros in cash. This is what happened to Carmen, a resident of Pamplona, ​​two years ago. In an act of honesty, the woman took the wallet to the National Police. Two years later, he can say that being honest has a reward. At least if you wait long enough. what has happened. They tell it in the Navarra Newspaper. In November 2023, Carmen took a train and in one of the cars she found a wallet full of tickets. It belonged to a Turkish citizen and, in addition to the documentation and credit cards, it contained 817.96 euros in cash. He handed over the wallet and all its contents to a National Police station, the same one where two years later they gave him all the money because no one had claimed it. ANDs law. The Civil Code, published in 1889, regulates what should be done with lost objects. Specifically, article 615 It is what indicates how to proceed when an object is found. The first thing is to return it to its owner and, if the owner is not known, it must be handed over to the authorities, who must try to locate the owner and guard the object. If two years pass since the discovery and no one has claimed it, the object will be given to whoever found it. Foresighted. When she handed the wallet to the Police, Carmen was informed of this legislation and decided that, in addition to being honest, she was also going to be farsighted. An alarm was set on his cell phone so that he would not forget and, two years later, he returned to the police station, where they handed him the 817.96 euros that no one had claimed. It is not the first case in which honesty ends up being rewarded. In 2024, two residents of Almassora received 600 euros that they had found lying in the middle of the street. Misappropriation. Many people would probably have kept the money and returned only the wallet. In this case, it would be a crime of misappropriation which, depending on the value, may be subject to a fine of three to six months. In the event that the object found had “artistic, historical, scientific or cultural value” it could result in a prison sentence of six months to two years.

Desperate for competing with Chatgpt, Google has a plan for Gemini to be everywhere: pulling wallet

We already know how many monthly users GEMINI has: the same as chatgpt in a single week. 350 million people using Google AI compared to the almost one and a half of OpenAi. And if we know something about Google, it has never liked to have competitors. He Progressive replacement of the Google Assistant By Gemini it was a statement of intentions: Google wanted Gemini to be in absolutely all phones. And no, the pulse has not shaken to get the wallet and force the pre -installation of this app. Google, Gemini and Samsung. A profitable exchange. Samsung is, by far, the manufacturer who More is betting on artificial intelligence in mobile territory. And the vast majority of these functions are behind Google, responsible for the Gemini Nano model of which it uses One UI 7. The a priori agreement could seem the classic Google-Manfabricaro android relationship, but Monopoly trial who is facing Google has made it clear that there is something else in between. Google paid Samsung to pre -install Gemini. Peter Fitzgerald, vice president of platforms and associations of Google devices, testified in the Federal Court of Washington as part of the antimonopoly case of the Department of Justice, According to Bloomberg. In his statements, he acknowledges that Alphabet Inc. paid Samsung Electronics Co. to preinstall Gemini on the company’s phones and devices. This contract, with a minimum duration of two years, establishes fixed monthly payments for each device with pre -installed Gemini, and a percentage of the income obtained by Google with the subscription to Gemini’s payment modalities. Paying to install is not legal. One of the keys to this case is in the precedents. In the past Google paid its partners so that its search engine was predetermined, something that was declared illegal. Since 2020, Neither Google Chrome nor the search for Google are the default options on Android. Google also paid Samsung 8 billion dollars for Google Search, Play Store and Google Assistant to be predetermined in Galaxy mobiles. The federal jury analyzed the case ruled that Google I was abusing his power with these policies. The judge will now have to determine whether Gemini’s pre -installation in exchange for money was legal or not. Gemini, Gemini, Gemini. Gemini is not just Google’s artificial intelligence, it is one of the largest doors at the income level that has been opened to the company in recent years. Although Sissie Hsiao herself is still a service without advertising, charge on Google at the head of Gemini, she has acknowledged that Google is the company to “monetize Gemini with ads as soon as possible. “Motorola cannot get rid of its obligations with Google and that is why they cannot change the predetermined assistant on the device.” Similar practices with other brands are reflected in the framework of the same antitrust judgment. Google’s contract with Motorola (Lenovo Group Ltd.) prevented perplexity AI as predetermined assistant on its devices. “A gun in the temple” according to Dmitry Shevelenko, business director in Perplexity. A trial that can change everything. The American justice, together with the constant persecution of Europe to Google for monopoly practices, have managed to make Android a somewhat more open system to third -party developers. If it ends up declaring illegal that Google Preinstal Gemini as an assistant, Google’s plan to compete from you to you with a GPT that quadruples its active users will be difficult to execute.

take the wallet in your pocket

He Digital DNI is already a reality. Without alharacas or large ads, the Council of Ministers has approved the regulations that grants legal validity to this document in virtual format. It looks like a minor change, but represents the last bastion we needed to tear down to complete A silent transformation that has been taking years: the disappearance of the physical portfolio. The cash ceased to be essential, except for residual cases, first replaced by plastic and then by our smartphones. Mobile payments have been normalized so much that Bizum It has gone from being a technological curiosity to a verb of common use. Fidelization cards, formerly necessary evils that occupied space in our wallets, are now QR codes in applications. Until The driving card already has its digital version For years, with total validity. Only the DNI was left, that document that We all had “just in case”the last anchor to a tangible world that vanishes. This change brings evident advantages in security. A stolen portfolio is an immediate disaster: access to our money, to our identity, to our cards. A lost phone, protected by biometry, passwords and encryption, supposes A whore A much smaller setback. It sounds paradoxical, but that is: we deposit our trust in something intangible precisely because it is safer than the physical. Of course This freedom has its price: The absolute dependence of a battery that is not exhausted. And of a coverage that does not fail. We face the risk of being temporarily “erased” from the system if our phone goes out at the wrong time. It is the new vulnerability: We are not going to fear the porterist but 1% of battery. Portable battery manufacturers have a lot of future. Those of leather wallets may not. The digital ID thus marks the beginning of the end for an object that has accompanied humanity for centuries. The portfolio, that little container of our economic and citizen identity, It will become something optional, almost nostalgic, as traditional watches in the Smartphone era and the smart watch. It will not disappear completely – there will always be those who prefer the tangible – but their essential function will have been transferred to that other omnipresent object in our lives: the mobile phone.
