    I don’t get the high praise of Bluetooth. It’s one of the worst fucking protocols from a security standpoint.

    Oh, it requires a simple PIN to connect? And often the PIN is just 0000? And most devices just connect unauthenticated anyway?

    And even if you legit connect to a device you own, it often has terrible issues reconnecting to that device. It’s even worse than HDMI handshaking.
