Between work, relationships, and daily responsibilities, life can get pretty hectic. Amid the chaos, it can be all too easy to start losing track of things — like your keys. Like many of us, you may have found yourself frantically flipping couch cushions from time to time, desperately searching for your lost car keys. But were you aware of the technological solution to this problem? With the Tile Mate key finder, you can actually call your keys or locate them on a map using your smartphone. And now you can even pick one up for a discounted price during the Tile Mate Valentine’s Day sale.

If you’re someone who has never lost your keys, phone, or wallet, then kudos to you for being hyper-aware of all your things. However, if you’re someone who has lost one or all of those things, then you should seriously consider the benefits of such a device. The Tile Mate is lightweight, slim, and can be easily placed on a key ring or in a wallet. You can connect it to your phone via Bluetooth connection and use the Tile app to ring your keys or wallet whenever you need a little extra assistance finding them. Alternatively, if you lose your phone, just press the Tile twice to make your phone ring — even if it’s on silent. You can even log into a website to find your missing belongings if you’ve managed to lose all of them at once.

These key finders are a great product to buy for yourself, but they also make for a great gift for your loved ones. With the Tile Mate Valentine’s Day sale going on right now, you can even save up to $90 on a pack of trackers — or a tracker pack if you will. Below are all of the discounts available during this sale:

This key finder isn’t compatible with all mobile devices, but so long as you aren’t using a really old smartphone, you should be fine. It can sync with any iPhone, iPad,  Apple Watch, Google Pixel, or Samsung Galaxy that runs on iOS 11, Android 6.0, or a newer operating system. With a range of 150 feet, you just need to make sure you don’t stray too far from your items when using the ring locater. It also comes with a guaranteed 1 year of battery life, so you’ll only need to replace the coin-cell battery once every 365 days.

Absurd new ‘third eye’ wearable watches the world so you can stare at your phone
Robotic Third Eye Minwook Paeng

Mark Weiser, the late chief technologist for the legendary Silicon Valley research lab Xerox PARC, once wrote that the most profound technologies are those that disappear, “weaving themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.” There’s a chance that industrial design student Minwook Paeng’s new prototype wearable one day becomes so commonplace as to be unremarkable and, therefore, unnoticeable. But that's a chance most gamblers would be unlikely to take.

Paeng, in short, wants to put a cyclops-like extra eye in the center of your forehead. No diminutive, smartphone front-facing camera lens “eye,” either. This is a protruding, tennis ball-sized lump of tech gadgetry, the kind of googly robot eye that might have been stitched onto a creature costume in a classic episode of 1970s-era Doctor Who. But it’s for your own good.

There's a reason why apps frequently ask you for permission to access your location, even when they function adequately without it. Many companies like Google use your location services to provide accurate weather reports or the most up-to-date traffic incidents. In other cases, apps may want your location activity simply for their own market research. If you're iffy about what information you're sharing, or you just prefer to stay incognito, here's how to disable location services on your iOS and Android smartphone.

Please note: While it's easy to disable location services altogether on your iOS or Android device, you can also disable it for specific apps only. Some apps rely on location services to function properly so you may want to make some exceptions. We'll show you how to do that as well.
