Bluetooth's Complexity Has Become a Security Risk
It'd be nice if we at least got the easy connectivity promised and just had to work out a few security kinks.<p><a href="https://xkcd.com/2055/" rel="nofollow">https://xkcd.com/2055/</a><p>I have a few Bluetooth speakers. If I accidentally close the app but forget to disconnect from settings too, then no one else can pair with them until I return. This seems like standard behavior, and makes me worry that if I lose my phone at the wrong moment, I might brick a few devices.<p>I really like common standards, but if the consortium can't fix either security or usability, we might be better off with a clean slate.
