Bluetooth has a common problem: unexpected security issues caused by nefarious connections.

Dependent devices (like your favorite Bluetooth headphones) can seem like your children, essential to your life.

Bluetooth 6.0 offers devices the ability to know where the other one is, down to the centimeter, according to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).

So you might not be able to avoid using Bluetooth on a daily basis but switch it off when you're done with it and stay mindful of where you leave your Bluetooth-enabled devices.
