Fantastic. Now all those incomplete, incompatible, barely coherent and absolutely bug-ridden implementations will get better because Bluetooth will now be an even larger specification! And the specification continues to have flaws in itself!
I apologise for the sarcasm. The Bluetooth situation hasn't improved over the years because the spec has. In part, yes. The spec is better. However the real difference has been large players open-sourcing parts of their bluetooth stack. However, even now, without a lot trying, you will find bugridden implementations in both hardware and software.
That bluetooth works at all is a miracle.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoThis is not bluetooth classic, BT as you know and hate it. It's BLE Audio. BLE is MUCH better.
- shakna 7y agoI haven't had the displeasure of working much with "bluetooth classic", it's BLE that I've spent most of my time with, and I absolutely hate it every time I have to come back to it. BLE is better. But it isn't hard to be better.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoWeird, I have had zero real issues with BLE. However, I'm on the device side, GATT Server, not the phone (client) side. So I have much lower access than if I was writing a Core Bluetooth app or something.
- shakna 7y agoI'm in embedded world. Writing realtime drivers has been... Painful. Fixing existing realtime drivers has been worse. Almost every piece of hardware I've touched hasn't complied with the spec in some way.
