Bluetooth Jammers?

[unzippy]

Anyone messed around with them?

[Simon]

They're illegal dude...

[unzippy]

They're illegal dude...

I know. So's speeding.

Just wondering how effective they are, how directional they are, what's the range like etc.
I have a neighbour who I'd like to encourage not to use their bass heavy Bluetooth speaker after midnight.

Just bear in mind that it'll knock out everything on the 2.4 range, WiFi included - for you and nearby neighbours.

As well as, you know, the legal aspect

I know this is the internet, but have you tried talking to them?

[Beany]

Yeah, don't. OFCOM have zero fucking chill when it comes to this shit. Like, at all.

I've had to pull media traces for a couple of incidents like this where we were the second last hop, and, er, Ofcom keep tight timeframes on this, unlike almost everything else they do. One of the rare cases where they don't just amiably gum peoples shins, but go for the throat, teeth bared.

[Matty]

You say that Beans, but I can't find any record of anyone being prosecuted for it. I'm not saying that means you should go ahead and do it, but it'd be reliant on the neighbour(s) being aware of what's causing the outage, reporting it, investigating.

I'd not put the 2+2 together, but makes sense - it's the same tech people use for thefts, so they want to ban ownership (as only currently and offence to use them, not to own):

Don't be absurd. That's the last resort, after illegal jamming and thorough beatings.

God no. I'd rather burn them out than talk to them.

That's why I'm wondering how focussed it is, is it like a targeted beam?

Quite, by 11.30 they're so cooked they don't know what way is up

[Mito Man]

I searched to see if the Flipper Zero does it but apparently not however this came up and I haven’t bothered watching it


Honestly I’d take the easier option and vent carbon monoxide through their letter box. Just sneak round at night and make sure all the windows are closed.

You know for certain that the noise is coming from a bluetooth speaker as opposed to some conventional hifi, or a wireless device of some sort?

[dinny_g]

Completely unrelated but I've one of those Bose Bluetooth speakers and it's awesome.

Not 100%, but this will be a good way to find out.

Likewise - absolute witchcraft!

However, mine goes off at 2130H as I'm a good neighbour.
