Anker the company that lied about the encryption on their security cameras still expects people to trust them with anything related to privacy? I'm surprised they're still using the Eufy line after that disaster.
Also rechargeable batteries degrade over time even if not used a lot, so unless this is repairable and the battery replaceable, it will still become e-waste. Why would someone pick this over a competing product with replaceable batteries?

That seems too little too late.

Recharging with a legacy dongle in 2024? That's one generation behind.

Amazon is full of similar cards that recharge wirelessly on any Qi pad.

This article states that the charging adapter is included but the included image states clearly that the charging head is not included.

AC adapter not included, as in the wall plug adapter, it would be crazy if they didn't include that

How does an AirTag become waste after a few years when you can just change the battery when it dies? I also have one of the AirCard for my wallet so I use non-Apple "Find My" trackers too. I'm just concerned the writer and others don't know you can change the battery in an AirTag. lol

I think the author was referring to the previous version of tracking card becoming e-waste after 3 years, they didn't say air tags become e-waste.

You don't already own a usb wall plug adapter you can charge it with once a year?
