Exclamation Security issues?
Hi,
so I've been playing with my Sage for two days now and this strange thing caught my attention.
My settings are:
Wi Fi OFF
Bluetooth OFF

But when I near my phone (which has bluetooth capabilities but has bluetooth turned OFF) to Sage, Bluetooth gets turned ON all on its own and Wi Fi gets turned ON as well!

Am I just not getting something or is this a golden opportunity for hackers to access your files stored on Sage? Seems to me like you don't want to carry any confidential material on it :-/
Or, I hope, I am totally wrong and I am simply not getting something.

Video of the whole process, where I deliberately turn both wifi and btooth OFF first, before activating them both again by simply moving the phone closer (time: 00:00:47):
