I actually love bluetooth, because I think it's a miracle it functions at all across so many devices. In general, I can make sound happen on a thing, and that's cool.
Having said that, this list is missing my biggest gripe: so many of the implementation decisions are left up to the devices that you get an entirely different experience from player to player, speaker to speaker. Will it start playing on reconnect? Will it reconnect on its own but not switch source so my audiobook plays in silence for an hour drive?
I have to tediously reconnect my Ford, but if I get within 100 yards of my running Toyota, it will preempt nearly anything else it's doing to become the eavesdropping speaker for my phone call.
- lxgr 3y agoThis is exactly my biggest gripe as well! There's actually one reasonable behavior that audio sink manufacturers just have to implement, and it doesn't seem too hard, that makes most of these problems go away: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39029037 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39029037 I really wish the Bluetooth specifications would require, or at least strongly suggest, that behavior.
