That looks literally the exact same as apple's interface for finding an iphone. Apple's had that for years.

My Rig: AMD FX-8350 @ 4.5 Ghz, Corsair H100i, Gigabyte gtx 770 4gb, 8 gb Patriot Viper 2133 mhz, Corsair C70 (Black), EVGA Supernova 750g Modular PSU, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard, Asus next gen wifi card.

Nice for a google branded option.

 

But honestly this technology has been out for a many years in the androidverse already. If you didn't have anything to track a lost phone I'm shocked. I think if you go to the google play store and search lost phone, you get several well maintained apps there. One of the first steps I do when getting a new phone, or installing a fresh rom is install a method for me to retrieve my phone if when I lose it.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Users cannot, and will not securely manage key material. Most users can't and the ones that can, wont.

Ask me about Bitcoin, Litecoin, Crypto-Currencies, and/or Mining them.

My basic knowledge of how the time space continuum works is telling me that this thread occurred first. And you have posted in the incorrect thread about it being a duplicate.

Samsung and I think HTC have had their own versions of this for years now. Still nice to see that Google offers it themselves now.

Actually, HTC discontinued this feature :( Don't know about Samsung though.

I'd like to know how the wipe device function works and what it wipes.

export PS1='\[\033[1;30m\]┌╼ \[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;30m\] ╾╼ \[\033[0;34m\]\w\[\033[0;36m\]\n\[\033[1;30m\]└╼ \[\033[1;37m\]'
