I'd hope they lose the Bluetooth label and certification for this kind of crap, but we know nothing will happen.

I'd hope they lose the Bluetooth label and certification for this kind of crap, but we know nothing will happen.
- x0x0 4y agoCome on; bluetooth is in year ~20 of public alpha test. No certification would mean a thing besides, "Bluetooth: it could work!"
- hyperdimension 4y agoThat's a pretty good slogan. I vote for a duel between Bluetooth and USB-C marketers as to who can use it. EDIT: the idea of tunneling USB-C ports over Bluetooth (like the wireless USB standard that I never quite saw take off) just occurred to me while writing this comment. What fresh hell.
- g051051 4y agoYou'd have to prove that they're the ones with the faulty Bluetooth implementation, not the PC hardware, drivers, or OS.
- AshamedCaptain 4y agoNot when they're the ones claiming they don't want to interoperate with stuff that does have Bluetooth certification (e.g. Apple hardware).
- smoldesu 4y agoWho exactly certifies MacOS (or any OS) for Bluetooth compliance?
- userbinator 4y agoIt's usually not about the OS but the BT controller (hardware) itself.
- AshamedCaptain 4y agoNo, both the OS and the hardware are certified by the Bluetooth SIG. An example: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/pipewire-bluetooth-support-status-update.html https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/pipe...
- g051051 4y agoThey have said they don't want to interoperate. They said they won't certify against whatever random hardware and software a person has in their PC.
- g051051 4y agoTypo: "They haven't said they...". I noticed too late to edit!
