Best Bluetooth Trackers for 2025: More Choices, Bigger Finding Networks Bluetooth trackers have evolved beyond AirTags. Google’s Find Hub and Samsung’s finding system now join Apple’s massive Find My network, while third‑party makers such as Chipolo and Pebblebee build tags that can work across ecosystems. We tested the major brands to see how real‑world tracking, separation alerts, volume, design and privacy protections compare. Here are the headline takeaways from recent hands‑on testing and industry updates: Finding networks matter: Apple’s Find My remains the largest and fastest for community locating, but Googles Find Hub (launched 2024) has closed the gap in 2025.

Live TV Streaming in 2025: YouTube TV Leads as Prices Rise Live TV streaming remains a strong cable alternative, but the gap is narrowing as many major services push base prices past $80/month. After testing the top platforms, YouTube TV stands out as the most well‑rounded option for most viewers — offering broad channel lineups, useful DVR features and solid add‑on support. Key developments shaping the market: Price increases across many services (Hulu+ Live TV, Philo, and others) make streaming less of an automatic savings compared with cable. New standalone services from ESPN and Fox and the consolidation of Hulu into Disney are changing channel bundles and rights deals. Free, ad‑supported FAST apps (Tubi, Pluto TV, Freevee, Plex) continue to offer viable low‑cost live TV alternatives. Sports remain a major…
