That's a Bluetooth thing: https://xkcd.com/2055/ https://xkcd.com/2055/ My theory is that it's because the Bluetooth protocol is named in honor of the Viking king Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, who conquered several disparate peoples into a single kingdom, so as an act of solidarity toward those peoples, the Bluetooth protocol is written in a way where a devices are as likely to rebel against consolidation as they are to pair together.
