Find My for pets

Good morning, afternoon, or evening. Here’s something to ponder: is sleeping the human version of turning off and back on again? 

Anyway, here’s the news: 

🖼️ Google has paused Gemini’s image generation ability after complaints.

🛍️ Instagram has launched its marketplace feature in 8 new countries. 

🤖 Samsung is bringing its Galaxy AI assistant to more devices. 

🍎 Apple says the iPhone 15’s battery has improved — but no one knows how.

Anyone who has had a pet, whether it's a puppy, kitten, or even a pig, knows the feeling of panic you get when you suddenly can’t see your furry friend. It’s not just you, globally, over 10 million dogs wander off every year.

Known for its smart cameras that keep an eye on your little rascal, PetCube has been leading the way in pet-forward tech, and today, the company just launched its latest offering, the PetCube GPS Tracking tool. 

It’s a sturdy yet sleek GPS tool that attaches to your pet's collar and uses LTE/4G to live stream your pet's location, has a 30-day battery life, and it pairs with an app that lets you live stream your pet's location at any given time. It’s IP67-certified water-resistant and has an LED light, which is particularly useful for night-time walks. 

Built into the software side of things are features like "virtual fences," which allow you to set up a no-go zone within the companion app that will alert you when your pet wanders into an area it shouldn’t be in. Does your dog like to go out of sight? You can activate the lost dog system, which gives you location updates every second until you’re reunited with your furry friend. 

It also doubles as a fitness tracker, so you can ensure you and your dog hit those 2024 goals with saved walking routes, fitness goals, and even a calorie tracker. 

PetCube GPS is the company’s tenth launch on Product Hunt, and since 2014, founder Andrey Klen and his team have been making it easier for pet parents to keep an eye on and engage with their pets with two-way cameras, automatic treat dispensers and even laser pointers.
