I live in a big city in the center. When i activate "Show bluetooth devices without names" in the developer settings of my android 13 phone, there appear loads of this devices. I have no clue what they are. Does anyone know? Are that the bluetooth nanobots of the vaxxinated people? (/s to last question!)

Our Aldi now has electronic price tags for each product in the centre aisles. I wonder if they're Bluetooth.

They're usually e-ink displays that get their power from NFC, so they're probably not Bluetooth

That’s not correct. They run on coin cells and use their own RF protocol. Most use something like zigbee. Others even use light to transfer data.
