Sync 3 on my Ford used to be snappy fast when I got it, after a few updates the Bluetooth connection became questionable and the touchscreen slow and unresponsive. Thankfully, the USB connection still charges the phone when driving and Carplay works smoothly over it. Bluetooth devices in general tend to be flaky as hell and I'm rather disappointed in it.

Also with square wheels, buddy!

You're always OK in my book, no matter what all the HTTP kids say.

As our society collapses all around us, here we are, as the world ends with not a bang but a fart.

The emphasis on privacy is the most important to me.

Which therefore would mean the one with the "H" has copied spyware.

iOS 7 removed the ability for apps to directly pull the Wi-Fi hardware MAC, however an easy search on StackOverflow over the years shows that people have been able to utilize IP and arp table methods for finding it.

iOS 14 is going to introduced randomized Wi-FI MAC addresses as well, but how that works for apps I don't know yet.

I'm scouring this link and others like it and I can't find which MAC address they were gathering from Android.

I'm assuming they're talking about the phone Wi-Fi MAC address, which in the case of Android 10 by default a Wi-Fi connection is set to use a Randomized MAC and not the Phone MAC.

Not an Android developer here but if you're going to add that feature for Wi-Fi but still allow apps to access the Phone MAC when that's being used, welp, I don't know what we expected to happen.

This brings Android in feature parity with iOS and Airdrop. This will be great for newer Android devices for file sharing directly between devices. Perhaps there will be an AndroidiOS direct feature coming soon now.

From the same post I did on this back a month or so ago:

Bluetooth file transfer already exists on Android, it's slower than WiFi:

AirDrop uses peer-to-peer WiFi. Android's previous ad-hoc file transfer was Android Beam, which is being replaced by this new service. Beam used NFC, which is even slower than Bluetooth:

Your device is MDM managed then. Android/iOS managed devices have OS policies that allow them to configure their email and doc apps to prevent "data leakage" from those apps to "unmanaged" apps that you download yourself, like TikTok.

Access to OWA email throught the browser can be managed and even VPN tunneled with their MDM.

It is possible I'm boring you. :)

If it's MDM managed, depending on how the device is registered (company owned, employee owned) dictates how much the employer can restrict on the phone. Company apps and data are containerized separately from the user's personal apps and data. Compliance policies can be put into place on employee owned devices that say "if we notice you have TikTok installed, we're shutting off access to company email" and things like that.

However, considering how Jeff Bezos himself got his phone compromised by WhatsApp a few months ago due to exact lack of MDM security, Amazon may not have anything like this at all and are just telling employees don't install it.

"This, in fact, is not about "hate speech". It is about HATING speech they don't agree with."

There's no two sides to hate speech.

MDM can manage macOS as well as iOS/Android/Windows, so an admin can use that to configure and update machines, supervised macOS don't require user interaction.
