It a big nothing burger right Sup Forums? More chicken little bullshit?

ffs

After I installed LineageOS onto my new phone, my Bluetooth doesn't even work.
Should I still worry about this shit?

Nope...you're good.

>tfw Bluetooth is also wifi on my thinkpad
God dammed chinks when they said dual band wifi i thought it mean 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz not wifi and Bluetooth on the same chip.
I'm nearly positive that Linux and iPhone patched this, both within the past day or two.
Gavin Anderson
When bluetooth was first a thing it was extremely insecure, it is not surprising this happened eventually. Don't leave wifi, nfc, or bluetooth on if you are not actively using them at the moment. This should be common sense.
Nicholas Green
Too bad my only use for NFC requires it to be on all the time
Christopher Brooks
To properly cup you balls?
Aiden Parker
No, for things like turning my phone's Wi-Fi on by setting it on the desk, setting it to silent by putting it on my nightstand, and creating a hotspot by tapping it to my laptop.
Luis Sanchez
phone got patched, so am i fine to continue using speakers/smartwatch etc? maybe i just don't understand how the exploit works, but those don't need patches right?

>Custom rom >Can't update The fuck? Latest lineageOS was updated on 2017-09-20 08:14:42 What phone? Why would I care if other people have unsecured devices? Also they can just turn off the bluetooth radio if they want to use a workaround
Cameron Davis
You said no one cares, which is a blatant lie. Whether or not you care is irrelevant to your previous statement.
Jonathan Price
So what, are you going to argue about semantics like a sperglord?
Levi Myers
I don't have Bluetooth on unless I am using it.
Eli Carter
Yes, you can't just move goalposts.
Juan Thomas
Oh hey there friend! A while ago I did you a favor by totally stripping out the Bluepoop stack, so this shouldn't be an issue. You're welcome.
Blake Taylor
i-is that a ladyboy?
Blake Barnes
Fuck you cunt
Blake Sanders
thanks friend, much appreciated. always knew i can rely on you

>nearly positive Well fuck, nearly positive is almost good enough for me...
