minus-squaretetris11@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days ago I would guess majority of bluetooth audio devices don’t even support mac address randomization Wouldn’t that be a nightmare for pairing? The device wakes and tries to connect to the last device it was paired to, only to find unknown vendors
minus-squareWhyJiffie@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agomac randomization is a defined thing in the BLE standard (afaik bluetooth classic does not have it, but maybe that changed in BT 5.1?). It’s not truly random, it involves cryptography so that paired devices can recognize each other in the end
