The comma makes this title read very weird.
- I can't seem, to parse it for the life of me
- Didn't know Christopher Walken was into netsec.
  
  Now imagine: I use arch, by the way 😅😂
- I would have called this a comma splice, but apparently what I was taught that is - just a comma incorrectly inserted into a sentence - is not the entirety of what a comma splice is.

Who uses Bluetooth passcodes?
- They are used for most pairing sequences, but we don't type them in anymore. They are used more to validate that it's you that are connecting two devices.
  
  In other words, this vulnerability isn’t that big of a deal.

This vuln is not new, it was published 3.5 years ago: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-26558
