Tiny Privacy Tip π:
Do not give your name to your devices.
Give them their own unique unrelated name. Like Steve or Martha or CyberApple or MyMagicTinyPocketComputer β¨
Giving it your own name isnβt really helpful in any way to you, and through Bluetooth or WiFi scanning can make your name known to strangers in the vicinity you might not want to share your name with.
Giving weird unrelated names to your phones, computers, WiFi network, etc, is not only safer, it is also much cuter :awesome:β
