A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

AI nowaday is like Bluetooth 20 years ago: they put it everywhere where it's almost never useful (feddit.it)

Bluetooth audio has always been absolutely awful in windows as far as I recall. Bluetooth in general is super temperamental, I recall fighting with data loggers my first job out of uni that only connected via Bluetooth. Older ones were serial and were actually reliable.

I’ve had bad results on Mac OSX as well.

It’s partly a timing thing, and maybe that puts the issues in the apps. If I am using my headset, it also works in things like Teams and Slack. However audio doesn’t want to switch if I turn in the headset in the app. Even worse, if I turn the headset on right before launching a call. It’s better now that I turn in the headset, then do a slow count to ten before starting a call, but still not reliable

Bluetooth reliability by OS

Android > Ubuntu > iOS (because of the stupid automatic turn back on anti-feature) > Windows > Linux Lite (possibly due to 2009 hardware?)

For real Bluetooth is near flawless in Debian and Mint from my experience, mint is on a 2013 laptop too with no issues to modern speakers.

Personally I prefer hard wire for audio where possible but it's really convenient for a garage speaker and kitchen speaker
