if you're on linux and use bluetooth, you should upgrade to 5.9 immediately or stop using bluetooth.

@hazel well shit, guess i gotta disable it on my pi's since the latest kernel version they have is 5.4, at least for arch linux, rip
@EeveeEuphoria if you aren't like, physically near someone else, it's probably fine
but do NOT turn bluetooth on in a public space
@jeder @EeveeEuphoria no auth, no pairing, nothing
@hazel I guess this also applies to android?
looking at my phone running kernel 4.4 😢
@hazel Based OpenBSD doesn’t have this problem (no Bluetooth support in the kernel, lel).
