A company reusing "pre-existing tech" doesn't really seem to be the issue here. Were they supposed to invent a whole new communication protocol for this use case?

The issue I see is that they didn't bother to obfuscate the MAC address of their BLE equipment. Maybe there is a reason they're not allowed to change the OUI of their BT transmitter?

someone has to cut down a tree

Especially a peanut tree! They're already so rare that most consider them to be a plant of myth.

You missed the opportunity to throw "thorough" in there after "through".

I recently (a couple of years ago now) reached out to a psychiatrist because I was finding it increasingly difficult to cope. My responsibilities at work continue to expand and become more cerebral, requiring more time in front of the computer.

I made sure and told him of my childhood history of being diagnosed young and having to go to the nurse's office every day at lunch to get my afternoon pill and how that made me feel isolated and different. But that over time the pills helped me pull up my grades. Having been diagnosed as a child makes this process much easier as an adult.

The weird thing? He didn't ask for any records or proof of my childhood diagnosis. I really was on Ritalin from the second grade through high school and then Adderall in college. But he didn't ask for any cooborating evidence of that.

I guess you can take from that what you like. But they just don't seem to follow up on your childhood history of treatment.

I feel for people who weren't diagnosed as children and had to suffer with this without any assistance. It seems unfair that those people can't get help now, just because they weren't offered it in the past.
