It turns out that the monthly screen recording prompts are not even the most annoying new "feature" of macOS 15 Sequoia. Behold!

Does this prompt appear monthly? No, that would be far too convenient. So how often? Every. Single. Time. You. Try. To. Disable. Bluetooth.

Have I mentioned that Apple re-enables Bluetooth on every OS update on purpose? This behavior continues with macOS 15. Also, Bluetooth is notorious for security vulnerabilities; just google site:support.apple.com bluetooth "security content".

The prompt warns that I "won't be able to use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse," despite the fact my Mac mini already has a USB keyboard and mouse plugged in. Indeed, the Mac isn't using any Bluetooth devices, and macOS knows this but doesn't care. Moreover, the Bluetooth prompt appears even when all Bluetooth-related features are disabled such as AirDrop and Handoff. There's no "intelligence" to the prompt.
