A kid in our building accidentally freaked out the old lady in the apartment upstairs by trying to quietly use his headphones and instead sending the sound to her TV speakers. Out of context the explosions sounded like construction demolition and she thought the building was coming down.

I'm I the only one who thinks it's odd that it's easy enough to pair devices that this shit happens by accident?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Too many devices are set to actively try to connect to anything in pairing mode because normal people can not be taught to press the right device in a list of devices or to press a button to accept...

Is the inability to follow extremely simple instructions actually the norm these days? The answer may shock you. More at 11.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

So... more on following simple instructions at 9pm, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I got blasted with next door's music randomly the other day because my sound bar has bluetooth. I use the feature extremely rarely but it doesn't matter if you've selected bluetooth with the remote or not, anybody can connect and switch it away from the wired connection and there's absolutely no confirmation before it just takes over and floods your senses. God help you if the other person has their phone volume on full.

Early Bluetooth devices used numeric codes that basically made this impossible to happen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Many still do, it's still there in the protocol. But it's optional and many devices skip it

[–] Duamerthrax 4 points 6 months ago

I know. I don't buy new BT often and don't live close enough to anyone for this to be an issue, but I thought everything had a pairing button that you had to hold for a few seconds at the very least. Even the M3 noise damping headphone I use had a default password of 0000 that you can't accidentally input. They really made everything for the lowest common denominator.

Bart with a stach just looks wrong.

Him with Homer's stubble when he's older is canon: https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/6/6e/Down_With_Buildings_Demolition_Co.png

The correct search term for this image is "bart simpson demolition worker". It is NOT - repeat NOT - "bart simpson adult". I apparently forgot I was on the internet when I searched that.

Funny story: a guy brings his car into a repair shop for service. Starts watching porn on his phone in the waiting room. Meanwhile the Bluetooth speaker in his car is giving everyone the full audio experience.

Make sure you know what your phone is paired with. Especially if you watch porn.

This is entirely too plausible. I can't stop laughing at how horrible it is.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago

Wrong sub, buddy. This is a qualitypost, not a shitpost.

So I actually had something like this last year where my hearing aids began connecting to a neighbor’s device and yeah no worst fucking thing

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me of back in the land line telephone days when there were crossed wires and you kept hearing someone else somewhere having a long phone conversation when you were trying to make a call.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I still don’t know how it happened, but my oldest little brother and I had this pair of walkie-talkies that would pick up this adult dudes phone conversations regularly on a specific channel, and we would troll him so hard. I kinda feel bad now, but not really because it’s a great memory.

Why are you using wireless for audio on a game where timing of sound is extremely important?

I'm sure there's low latency wireless connections, but I use my headphones for more than just games and never experienced a wireless audio connection that didn't lag behind what was actually happening.

Pointless soapbox, I know, I just don't understand wireless for most things between clarity, latency, battery, and reliability.

I'm wired all the way for my computer gaming

[–] ricdeh 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As you said yourself, there are certain low-latency solutions that pretty much eliminate any disadvantage that wireless headphones could have.

But they don't use Bluetooth.

Teamate: I need a medic!

Other teamate: I am hit! I am hit!

[–] patak 5 points 6 months ago

At this point I have a bluetoothphobia.

This reminds me when my dad accidently connected his phone to the downstairs neighbor's studio speakers instead of a portable bluetooth subwoofer. The worst part is that we weren't good with those neighbors because we had to call the police because they blasted loud music for months that annoyed the entire neighborhood.

We were lucky that they weren't at home when this accident happened.

Please use the correct grampa. Abe simpson has a posse.
