Android has officially launched its enhanced Find My Device network, utilizing a crowdsourced network to help users locate their devices even when offline. The update includes support for Bluetooth tracker tags from Chipolo and Pebblebee, with plans for compatibility with other brands later this year. The network also offers security features to prevent misuse, such as unwanted tracker alerts and limiting the frequency of location updates. Additionally, Google is expanding the network's capabilities to include locating headphones and providing proximity information through Nest hubs. The rollout begins in the US and Canada before expanding globally to Android devices running version 9 or later.
Google is set to launch its expanded Find My Device network in three days, allowing Android users to track missing phones and accessories using data from other Android devices. The network will help users locate compatible Fast Pair accessories when disconnected from their device and will include earbuds, headphones, and trackers. The launch was delayed due to Apple's rollout of unknown tracker alerts, but with Apple adopting a wider anti-stalking specification, the launch of Google's Find My Device network seems imminent, with some users already seeing a new setting in the latest Google Play Services beta.
Google has revealed the launch date for its Find My Device network, which will allow users to locate their devices even when offline and find compatible accessories like earbuds and trackers. The network was delayed to ensure protection against malicious tracking, but with the recent rollout of settings and an email blast to select users, it is expected to launch on Sunday, April 7 or Monday, April 8, nearly a year after its initial announcement. Users can opt out of the network through Find My Device on the web, and the feature will apply to all Android devices linked to the Google account.
AT&T experienced a widespread outage affecting phone, text, and internet services for customers across the United States, with over 64,000 reported outages.

Verizon and T-Mobile stated that their networks were operating normally and suggested that user reports on Downdetector may reflect challenges connecting to users on other networks.
AT&T Inc. has stated that less than 10% of its nationwide copper-wire telecom network is comprised of lead-clad cables, addressing concerns over potential contamination and cleanup costs. The company clarified that lead-clad cables make up a small part of its network, with the majority either buried or in conduit, followed by aerial lines on poles and a small portion running underwater. This comes after a Wall Street Journal report highlighted lead contamination in over 2,000 telecom cables across the US. AT&T strongly disagrees with the report and is conducting additional tests, offering free lead testing to union employees who have worked with lead-covered cables.
Ethernet, invented by Bob Metcalfe and others at Xerox PARC in the mid-1970s, revolutionized local area networks (LANs) by using a combination of standards body politics and a minimalist design. Ethernet's media access control (MAC) procedures, known as CSMA/CD, improved on ALOHAnet's radio network by implementing carrier sense, multiple access, and collision detection. Ethernet's design allowed for efficient data transfer and the ability to connect thousands of computers to a LAN. Over the years, Ethernet assimilated higher bitrate protocols and became the dominant LAN standard, with its performance under load proving to be quite good.
