    That’s the point though. The address is randomized per connection specifically so the device can’t be identified. It’s to prevent tracking, blocking, or assigning, anything based on mac address without the device owners knowledge. Every time your phone connects the network has to treat it like a new device. If it was randomized per network that would defeat the point.

    I personally can’t think of any reason you would need a static IP on your phone but if you did then you should know enough to know how to turn off the randomized mac address. You can even change the setting per network so if you need a static ip at home then you just set your phone to use a static mac address on your home network and continue using a randomized one on every other network.






  • I don’t have the link but the game is “Cataclysm:Dark days ahead” if you wana look through their github. They have some gems in the issue tracker.

    Another one of my favorite issues from there was someone posted an issue where timed explosives didn’t go off when placed in pet backpacks. One of the lead devs basically responded “Yes, I guess that’s a bug, but I’m also very disapointed in you all.”
