I was gifted a thermal insulated coffee mug with built-in battery to keep hot. Connects to phone via Bluetooth. Got warnings that the mug would be able to track all 50+ Bluetooth MAC IDs that are in range (I’m in an apt building). That mug will never get turned on or used

Imagine being afraid of a Bluetooth device behaving like every other Bluetooth device ever created.

As [@Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/Grostleton) said, that's how every Bluetooth device works, but I'm also curious what purpose connecting a mug to a phone via Bluetooth serves.

Are you sure they weren't MUG IDs?
