the protocols on how Bluetooth is handled is far different than the ones how wifi is handled, same as NFC and cellular. to equate all their security as “the same” is very dismissive, especially comparing to wifi and cellular which typically arent direct device to device connections.
nfc dodges its problems because its for the most part off until you open an app that uses it, so its already doing what a user should be doing for security reasons.
Nah, my sentiment is more like if man can make it man can break it…imei cloning, arp poisoning, relay attack…anything broadcast willy nilly everywhere is as much of a security risk if you are concerned about bluetooth exploits…
again, its diminishing the security features of the different forms of communication. one (likely) requires connecting to a secondary powered device, likely with a 10 key minimum password length of various characters or a series of login prompts. the other is a protocol which connects either by pairing or a 4 digit pin… just because security exploits exists for all connections doesnt mean all communication standards have equivalent security risk.
Even if you turn it off the radio is still powered on and scanning in the background (wifi too), unless you specifically disable that as well. The battery drain is negligible
Looked it up. Seems like it’s actually pretty low when not connected.
I never really thought about it because I use Bluetooth about once month at best. Still, leaving it on when I don’t need it seems silly. But maybe it only does when you don’t need it again a few minutes later.
I’m a part of some really small communities (like single digit posts per month). Some of those posts are even mine. I wouldn’t say that’s MVP level, but…
The number of times I’ve been mid video call or watching a video on my headphones and they randomly decided to disconnect from my laptop and connect to another device like my phone absolutely infuriates me.
The whole multiple paired device feature really needs some work…
It might be your phone getting a notification, and sending that to the BT speaker, which then takes precedent over the laptop
I usually just disable BT on my phone when stuff like that happens (on android, you can change the playback device without disconnecting, and that should also prevent the phone from stealing your headphones)
There might be something to that. Unfortunately I keep Bluetooth on for my smart watch to connect. The headphones aren’t normally selected, but I think they auto-connect sometimes when they come in range. It also doesn’t help that the main way of switching the connected device is via the Android app, that requires the phone to use. (Original Surface Headphones, I’m considering replacing them because the pads are falling apart already)
Yeah, if I actually liked these headphones I’d probably repair them, but as it is, I have other headphones I can use, they’re just not noise cancelling.

She’s either the next Ali-G or just a starry-eyed dreamer who wasn’t about to let her mom-bod get in the way of her aspirations. Either way I give her props and hope she has the ability to share in some of the laughter she brought to the world. Im glad she’s out there keeping it real.
Her most memed moments came from her third contest, after she had failed to score a single point in her first 2.
So yeah, I think she might have been having some fun with it the third time around. She knew she wouldn’t progress out of the pool phase, so why not have fun with it?
I remember Phil Wizard, who won gold in the men’s competition. And Danny Dan who won silver, Victor who won bronze, and Shigekix who lost the bronze match.
I can’t seem to find the men’s finals on YouTube but if you can find it I highly recommend it. It was awesome. I really hope Breaking returns in 2032, the level of sportsmanship and joy the competitors showed was amazing.
By this argument I could join a tennis tournament and take a shit on the court and punch the judge and you’d think that makes me a star player because people that don’t follow tennis heard of me.
Why do you feel like your opinion is worth sharing when it wouldn’t have even left your brain if you gave it any thought?

Where did I say I thought they were a star? I just said they’re the only one I remember. If you shat on a tennis court in front of (hundreds of?) millions of people during a global broadcast event I reckon I’d remember you too.
