New comment by TheSilva in "What your Bluetooth devices reveal"

Tangential, sort of: in the early days of mobile phones for the masses, when there was no WiFi/3G in the underground, I will often enable Bluetooth in my phone, look for nearby devices and try to match names and looks.

That was before everyone had their "John's IPhone" or "Samsung A55" boring names everywhere and some of us cared to personalise our device's name.

Anyone else played this game?

Also he became a father[0] around that time. Everything adds.

Sadly, looking through the code, doesn't show up any "GARBAGE" file easter egg to be found.

Amazing stuff, nevertheless!

Too little too late, already ditched the whole ecosystem after so many years and devices.

Well, they have this list in their repo: https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock/blob/main/Adblock_Compariso...

Only one I can see is (slightly) less RAM use.

Yes, and I do the same. However, Kids Corner was a curated list of apps that you chose to share freely without password/FaceID.

I don't want to lock my browser, photos, maps, etc. behind FaceID. I want to hand my phone knowing they will only use one or two apps and the fun stops when they hand me over the device.
