"Bluetooth does not work," Kravitz said in a recent interview, and it's not just headphones, but Bluetooth connections in general. "It's ruining important moments. Imagine the amount of times that you're with someone on a date, you're trying to set a vibe, and then you have to forget the network. On a date!" The quote above makes absolutely zero sense to me, it's like ChatGPT 0.3a decided to write something about Bluetooth.

On a date the only acceptable bluetooth usage is for teledildonics.

  That's when you especially badly don't want a sudden disconnect, or the battery dying.

    Or pairing with the wrong person’s device.

  I use my wired sex toys usually. Ethernet works really well.

    10G Ethernet has improved their performance so greatly.

The quote resonates with me, even though I haven't experienced the exact "set a vibe on a date" scenario. I have multiple bluetooth headsets that I use with multiple devices. I have collected a series of tricks that I use when I can't get bluetooth to operate the way I want it to: turning bluetooth on/off, restarting the bluetooth device. "Forget the network" is not one of those tricks, but I wouldn't be surprised if others have learned to use it.

It’s poorly written but painfully familiar. Even if it’s two devices that have never known any connection but the single one between them… Bluetooth aomeyimes just inexplicably fails, requiring forgetting the previous connection, and reconnecting.”

  "Forget the network" implies something to do with wifi though.
  - mock-possum 7mo ago
    It does, but again, it’s poorly written.

Connecting to bluetooth is annoying, period. It's needless friction that can be avoided just plugging in headphones.

Agreed. What network are they forgetting here? Pretty sure I've only ever seen that apply to wifi. Are they trying to say you might need to re-pair a bluetooth speaker on a date? I don't get it.
