We can all agree that the founding fathers would think Bluetooth is demonic sorcery.

/i: #Bluetooth? I thought that that had already been renamed to ##BlueToot in honor of #Mastodon's stellar growth.

In particular, since it was invented by this sorceress: /i

Когда-нибудь я сяду и напишу небольшое ревью на новую версию Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 с описанием различий с первой версией.

It would be so easy to fix Bluetooth:
Have a password and e2e for bluetooth connections. Manufacturers could tell us the password of the gadgets like with routers, and we could change our password if we wanted to. If someone wouldn't have the password, they couldn't connect to the device and couldn't harm it. #bluetooth #fix #letsfixit

K-Mart sells everything from frying pans to undies under its Anko label.

But what are its gaming controllers actually like? I took the plunge to find out:

Something must be in the water, because I just got ANOTHER flare up of people asking me about Faraday bags to prevent phone tracking.

Short answer: A Faraday bag probably doesn't solve your problem; they require great care to use effectively. and your phone can be tracked as soon as you remove it.

But if you DO need one, you want one that actually works. Here's a short writeup I did a while back on the theory and practice of testing them:

TL;DR: Science is fun.

Does an Apple #Airtag rely primarily on #Bluetooth to periodically beacon its unique identifiers or does it also passively transmit on the shorter range but harder to jam, multi frequency, #UltraWideBand ?

Or does it only do so in response to an iPhone initiated Find Me active scanning request ?

For those who were following my #Bluetooth #CatTracker advenures in #ESPHome and #HomeAssistant ( @homeassistant @homeassistant )...

The cats wore the collars willingly. My more rambuctious cat (the male) knocked his tracker off a few times, but didn't seem bothered by it. I never had any issues with his sister - until last night.

That's when it stopped registering her at all. So today I grabbed her to pull the tracker off - the back (and battery!) had fallen off...somewhere.

Was habe ich denn für Möglichkeiten, 2 oder mehr #Bluetooth Kopfhörer mit einem Handy (o.Ä.) zu verbinden zum Hören? Das Android kann das nicht von Haus aus und das Gerät hat auch keine Klinke-Buchse (für Bluetooth Splitter die man darüber anschließen könnte).

Ich will einfach ein kleines Gerät das ich als Kopfhörer/Empfänger verbinden kann und das selbst Host für die echten Kopfhörer ist, sowas scheint es aber nicht zu geben?

Ältere Packstationen werden schrittweise umgebaut und lassen sich dann nur noch mit der App öffnen. Betroffen ist nur ein Teil der insgesamt 11.500 Automaten.

My ATH-M50XBT #headphones just had one of the buttons break after three years of use and my #repair attempt was a failure. Any suggestions for around-ear #bluetooth headphones which I might hope to serve me for a long time? I hate having to buy new electronics when old gear breaks.

I just got a pair of #Bluetooth #earbuds and now am very aware of what features my #KaiOS apps do and don't support.

I used to think K-music was much better, but the stock KaiOS app actually has much better support for play/pause, skipping forward, etc. 😮

(Sadly, the same can't be said of the calls app; I'm supposed to be able to tap my earphones to answer/end a call but tapping does nothing)

📢 Stop telling people to turn their #BlueTooth off for:

  1. Battery saving
  2. Malware protection
  3. Privacy protection

Nowadays none of these are true anymore for regular user in noticeable manner. And prevents quite a few nice things.

@stux also according to @fuchsiii #Apple's shitty #mouse has absurdly high #InputLag - which is weird since the #MagicTrackpad doesn't have any percievable lag yet both are using #Bluetooth and both are from Apple under their own brand...

Bluetooth-Export für Microformats

Vor ungefähr einem Jahr habe ich schonmal über einen Microformats Bluetooth-Export mit Hilfe von Tails-Export geschrieben. Da sich aber nach und nach der Operator als DAS Microformats-Addon für den Firefox durchgesetzt hat, wurde natürlich auch das Bluetooth-Script portiert.

Das Mac-Script findet man auf der Seite von Michael Kaply (direkter Link).

“Send to Bluetooth Device” action for sending ICS and VCF files via Bluetooth. Works with the hCard and hCalendar microformats.

…und seit letztem Monat gibt es auch ein Windows-Script von Thom Shannon (direkter Link).

I’ve modified the Mac only bluetooth user script for operator to work on windows. It’s based on this script, and originally inspired by Johns hack of Tails.
