Naaah, a device that constantly tries to connect to any nearby Bluetooth devices and constantly changes its own Mac address so it can never be blocked.

My only regret is that I have but one like to give to this comment.

The battery wouldn't last nearly as long!

I hear you. On our BestRev v1.1 we will use a 5.4 Bluetooth chip to make better use of its sleep state. And we'll change the functionality to try to connect to any nearby devices, wait 10 secs for devices to respond then change Mac address and go into sleep state for a user configurable lapse of time and repeat until power failure. I believe that will give us around a year of revenge. Depending on amount of available devices, configured sleep time and battery selection.

There’s prank hardware you can buy for cheap that beeps at irregular intervals similar to this.

AnnoyingPCB?

On an unrelated note, I've been wondering how hard it would be to swap out the sound file for a screaming goat and time it to go off at a random time every night

Alt text:

With a good battery, the device can easily last for 5 or 10 years, although the walls probably won't.

For the right person, a Discord alert sound might be better. On the other hand, the sound coming from somewhere other than a device that can access it might clue the victim in a lot sooner.

Alternative: The AOL "you've got mail" sound. If you're going to have something come from the aether, that one could have them thinking there's an old computer in the walls somewhere.

USB devices don't make any noise when you plug them in. I would make it play a smoke alarm low battery beep.

That is not revenge, that's illegal...
