Nomad now offers a Google version of its ultra-thin tracking card.

The original version of the $29 Tracking Card Air was only compatible with Apple’s Find My network. The new version instead supports Google Find Hub for the same price. It’s also still just 1.7mm thick with up to 7 months of battery life that can be extended by dropping the card onto a wireless charger.

Correction, March 31st: An earlier version of this article misstated the battery life of the card. It’s 7 months, not 7 hours.

Android 17 will let you share one-time location data with apps.

If you choose the option, you’ll be able to share your precise location until you close an app, which might be a good choice if you just need to give your location to an app to quickly check one thing.

Android 17 will also add a persistent indicator that tells you when a “non-system app” accesses your location.

No Kings is taking back Americana

The right wing used to have a stranglehold on traditionally American iconography. Now the flag and the Constitution are symbols for the left.

With iOS 27, Siri might be able to handle multiple requests in one prompt.

Apple is currently testing the feature, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. I hope it makes the cut; I think I’d use it way more than any of Siri’s long-delayed features we’re still waiting on.

When will the game developer mass layoffs end?

This time it’s at Polyarc, creator of PSVR, Meta Quest, and SteamVR darling Moss (and its sequels). Polyarc will “significantly reduce the size of the company.” We called Moss one of “the 14 best games to download for your new VR gaming headset” back in 2019.
