I like to think that in the future every article of clothing has a USB port and a tiny rechargeable lithium ion battery. I want boxers with RGB gamer lights

    I fucking hate Bluetooth now honestly. If I want to listen to music or anything that isn’t the radio or directly off my computer it has to be Bluetooth. So I have to have like 6 devices on my phone for Bluetooth. And they like to connect and disconnect themselves randomly and sometimes won’t connect at all? And it’s entirely dependent on what I want it to do, which it usually chooses the opposite and does that. I never had these rage issues with technology 15 years ago.

      I’d agree with you like 5 or 10 years ago, but I feel like bluetooth just works now. I was a wired headphone hold-out until like a year ago when I thought I’d treat myself to a pair of airpods and they’re honestly fantastic. My bluetooth speaker is pretty seamless too, never has trouble connecting to either my phone or my computer.

        My first bluetooth headphones were incompatible with walking. They needed to remain at exactly the same distance from the phone or they’d drop the signal. After 17 years and with the endorsement from a comrade, maybe I’m willing to get hurt again.

      You hate Bluetooth because you are a digital peasant that hates more burdens. I hate Bluetooth because I’m a medieval peasant that hates more burdens. We are not the same.

      What do they actually -do-? I’m so confused.

      I could see it being kinda funny if the speakers were in the palms. You could like, grab someone’s head by the ears and play fart sounds thru them.
