      Probably via SLAAC. Android doesn’t follow the specifications for getting an individual DHCPv6 address

        Might be.
        Honestly I couldnt be bothered with IPv6 and learning all the intricacies. Plus having borderline OCD for symmetry and order on random things and objects makes me actively dislike the whole 50 adresses per device thing.

        But for real: Why even have an existing standard and not just use it at all.
        This is basically the Pingu meme saying “Well, now I am not doing it. >:(”
