USB/Bluetooth is underrated because it means you can ship hardware products that can have their firmware updated or connect and sync with a web service without having to build/ship/maintain a whole app for it that will eventually stop working after an OS update.
- spaghettiToy 4y agoIs Bluetooth good yet? I had issues as recent as last year's new products. But otherwise I love the concept of hardware access with HTML. The embedded guy in me thinks the future is going to be crazy. I can't quite wrap my head around the possibilities.
- autoexec 4y agoMy guess is that hardware access with HTML will mostly bring about remote exploits and massive privacy problems. I disable all of it. I also keep Bluetooth disabled on my mobile devices. It's used extensively to ID and track people and their devices. For things that don't move and are only ever paired to a single thing (like a speaker) it works fine. Most of the complaints I hear about bluetooth are from people who pair multiple devices to a single source and want to easily switch between them.
