My soulmate and I got friendship lamps and I cannot describe the giddiness I feel when I see the color has changed, or when I tap the lamp and they tap back like seconds later. It's a very different feeling of connection than being on video call or texting. It's intimate in a different way and I am really happy with the lamps

This is pretty bad for privacy, even for my wife, I also need privacy instead of letting her knnow my location in real time.

Maxime Lee it doesn’t give a pin point location it just says your general area (county,town,etc) and you can even disable it as well

If you need privacy and you are married you are in trouble lol
