I live in a big city in the center. When i activate “Show bluetooth devices without names” in the developer settings of my android 13 phone, there appear loads of this devices. I have no clue what they are. Does anyone know? Are that the bluetooth nanobots of the vaxxinated people? (/s to last question!)
That’s perfectly normal, pay no mind to them or the plumber van parked day and night on the other side of the road.
They are way less undercover around here. Theres a helicopter that spies on everyone 2-3 times a month. No infos on flightradar, no infos directly sent from it. We are all dead soon!

Smart devices like switches, bulbs, outlets, etc; air tags and other brands of Bluetooth tracker; wireless speaker systems, headphones.
Many of these devices won’t broadcast a name at all, or will only broadcast a name while pairing.
Could be anything, since you’re in the middle of a large city center. Could be smart devices, could be FindMys or similar, could be beacons, could be trackers, could be any combination.
[E]. To answer your nanobot question. I guess it could be nanobots, though all of the ones I’ve ever seen, use NFC. Also, “of the vaxxinated people”? I haven’t heard that one before. What is that about?
It’s a reference to conspiracy theories about vaccines containing trackers
Oh… didn’t realize that was a thing. That’s… a bit disturbing…
On the ole 600euro communities you regularly see people posting these screenshots as “proof” of tracking devices in vaccinations.
I’m not sure what 600euro communities are, but I read a bit about it after the previous comment, and I’m appalled that this is a thing. Let’s use a bit of logic here: if the government truly wanted to track our every move, nanotech is not how they’ll go about doing it, when we all carry smartphone trackers in our pockets every where we go. A little logic would burn their theory to ashes.
Community to make fun of conspiracy theorists. Used to be wacky, “I think the birds outside my window are working for the government, anyone know a crystal that can help me” sort of thing, became a little sad with COVID.
Interesting. But if it’s satire, are you saying the covid conspiracy people took over those communities and made them into “real”/non-satirical communities?
I don’t think they realize how small the vaccine needles are or how hard it would be to actually track you with a microscopic device.
Reality doesn’t really matter all that much to antivaxxers.
It’s more about causing friction. It’s a physical proof with a whole lot of evidence.
A ton of devices not currently in discoverable mode too. Smart watches, TVs, etc.
Bluetooth devices only broadcast their name when in pairing mode, at other times only the mac address is available. In other words, these are just people’s Bluetooth devices like headphones, cellphones, airtags, etc.
Stasi listening devices. We never went away, comrade.
Nowadays, people buy them out of free will. They give them names and ask them to play Despacito.
They may just be other people’s various devices. Maybe IoT devices or devices not fully set up. If you’re living near a store/above a store, those might be Bluetooth beacons that track people through the store.
Our Aldi now has electronic price tags for each product in the centre aisles. I wonder if they’re Bluetooth.
They’re usually e-ink displays that get their power from NFC, so they’re probably not Bluetooth
I have replaced almost every light bulb in my house with smart bulbs which feature both bluetooth and zigbee connections. It’s around 40 devices. If your neighbour has smart bulbs or other devices, I guess that could be a large part of it.
Started with smart bulbs, but very quickly moved to actual smart switches+plugs instead.
Smart bulbs automatically turn on when power goes out and back on. (so you can still control them from the regular switch) This is anoying af with how frequently I get short power outages.
My wife and I used to have some smart switches in a previous house that were set to turn on when we came home. Woke the kids up a few times forgetting to turn that off before coming back from a night out.
