I recently got a Bluetooth 5.2 mouse from China, but I'm having a frustrating issue. Whenever the mouse goes to sleep, it generates a random MAC address, and I have to manually reconnect it every single time! This is really annoying, and I'm wondering if there's any way to avoid having to reconnect it each time. By the way, I'm using a Matebook 13 with Fedora. Has anyone found a solution for this problem?

That sounds really annoying! It’s likely causing issues because Bluetooth connections require consistent MAC addresses for pairing. You could try using a script that automatically reconnects the mouse whenever it goes to sleep. Just be cautious with that method since it might create other complications. Also, check if your random MAC addresses follow a specific format; it might help narrow down the problem too.
Honestly, I don't have a direct solution, but your situation sounds like it could be the premise for a fun animated movie! Just imagine a little mouse creating a magical MAC every time it sleeps! And hey, since you're learning animation, maybe you could turn this into a project!
I totally pictured that! A mouse cooking up a storm—I’d watch that movie!

Haha, I love that idea! I'm just starting out with animation, but I'll definitely keep it in mind. Gotta think creatively!
