If you are using an external screen see if wifi improves with it disconnected. This took me far too long to figure out…

Thank Covid that surgical masks in public are a thing!

I don’t actually wear a mask shopping nowadays but some of those who have been around the sun many times do. Perhaps we should?

Yes…

Yay technology!

Thanks for all this info - I feel less crazy now!

Some supermarkets are using digital price displays now. Can’t wait for the “adaptive pricing” like the personalised advertising in the film Minority Reports!

Here comes Bluetooth MAC address: DE:AD:BE:EF. He often pauses near the chocolate biscuits so likely buys some. Lets update the choc biscuit pricing removing the sale pricing as he’ll buy them at full price anyway…

Indeed! If Bluetooth is enabled on your device it will send beacon/polls and so be visible.

The recent “Find your offline devices” enhancement to Android’s Find My Device app has made me wonder if having Bluetooth off is even enough?

This is why I turn off Bluetooth before heading into the supermarket… <tips tin foil hat>

I now use Hyperion also - thanks!
