The episode begins with a sponsored segment for Rocket Money, highlighting its ability to help users manage subscriptions, track spending, and automate savings, with real-world results like $880 million in collective savings. It then shifts to a discussion about space exploration, defending NASA's Artemis II mission by emphasizing that all funds are spent on Earth, creating jobs and advancing technology, and encouraging listeners to appreciate Earth's beauty through iconic moon photos. The core of the episode centers on a listener call from Kurt in Memphis, who recounts losing his iPhone in Rome after mistakenly leaving it on a train station bench while using a battery pack. Despite reporting the phone as lost and stolen, Kurt faced challenges with Apple's Find My and erasure process, including delayed activation lock and the device reappearing in Naples and later in Ivory Coast. The host explains that Apple's erasure requires a Wi-Fi connection and can be blocked by turning off the device, making recovery nearly impossible. The story becomes a cautionary tale about travel distractions and digital security, with a humorous nod to the phone's journey across continents. The episode ends with a reminder to stay tech-savvy and a plug for the free daily newsletter, The Current.
Always double-check your belongings when traveling, especially in crowded or distracting environments.
Apple's 'Erase' feature in Find My requires a Wi-Fi connection and can be blocked by turning off the device, making remote erasure unreliable.
If your device is lost or stolen, keep it in Find My indefinitely—it serves as a digital breadcrumb trail and can be a source of amusement or a reminder.
