AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there.
Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can't keep up.

When it comes to WiFi Mac's mobile phones have fudged them for "privacy" for years, if this goes main stream I see the same thing coming in for Bluetooth.

They promise the macs are random but I don't have much faith in that.

Looking up a real Mac to see what manufacturer it came from is something I do almost daily sorting out network issues for customers and really is not difficult. From there it takes a leap to guess what the device is if it's name doesn't help but more often than not it's easy enough to see what's out there, the random macs of phones stick out like a sore thumb as they don't come back as anything usually so you can then track that around the network and see what they are up to that way.

To be fair, they may have a rule about anything without the original plug/cord I know places near me do.
Still a shame it ends up going to waste.

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere.
Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to.
No ads, no data connection needed.
I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.
