  • Reminds me when Amazon introduced the Q&A stuff and emailed people that have bought something with questions other people asked. Even though I sometimes didn’t know the answer I responded, because I didn’t want to be impolite, with sentences like: “Sorry I can’t help you with that question” which Amazon just posted publicly in my name. The question emails I got had no information about that and it took me a few emails to figure out that I’m posting completely useless answers to their Q&A feature 🤣

    Not quite. I’m not really sure but I think the original idea actually was a fixed hardware address but I’m not sure if a lot of devices actually ever implemented it that way because it’s simpler (and cheaper) to control it in software. In modern (especially mobile) devices it’s actually a security requirement because with a fixed MAC address you could be tracked by other wifi devices.
