Ok, well I’m not going to stop using my fitness band or Android auto because I’m a paranoid person. Might as well never leave your home and never use any devices connected to the internet.
It wasn’t pointless. It was to make you and others aware that, as the message said, its a security vulnerability, so that you can make an informed decision about whether you want to keep it on or not.
Right but your arguement of “well turn it off then” doesn’t work. Because people need it to be on because they use it, because it’s a useful technology.
This is an online discussion forum, the point of the comment was to educate the public about the downsides of having BT on at all times. I am not sure why @Polar got some butthurt about basic info sharing. If this info not relevant, move on… why spazz? People who care will act upon this info as they deem necessary.
Also, conflating informational comment with a call for action is immature, at best.
I didn’t get butt hurt. I simply stated why I have Bluetooth on, and the devices I use require it, and knowing that information you told me it was a security concern.
Ok? And am I just supposed to sell my devices? Do you want me to turn my Bluetooth off so my device become useless? I don’t understand the point of your comment.
Hey guys, eating can cause you to choke, it’s a health concern. Better stop eating.
Well that’s a security vulnerability tbh

If you’re not implying that, then your reply was pointless.

I want to keep it, otherwise all of my everyday devices become paperweights. Thanks.
Great, do it?
Already was.
Excellent. Thanks for letting us know.

There was no argument…
No one made that argument.
Show us on the doll where the bad comment hurt you, boy.
What was the point of your comment then if not a veiled suggestion to turn it off?
