@fraggle bluetooth headphones is the only thing that they know, they didn't actually know how to fix the issue they just think the solution to everything is bluetooth and dont know how a wired connection works anymore

@fraggle I had a friend who once used wifi to connect a micro controller to an LED **on the same PCB** in one of his project and I still make fun of him for it. (he didn't want to have a wire visible or run a path)I wonder if there are other instances of wireless communication within perfectly wire-able devices in the wild.Big Clive needs to be sent some of these monstrosities to take them apart!

@charlotte @fraggle If you dislike Apple for their failings why alienate some who is criticizing them by implying everything is their fault, or that such nonsense is avoidable with any large company?IDK I'm just tired of this genre of comment. (although I may be guilty of making this kind of comment about people complaining about social media "if you weren't on twitter you wouldn't have that problem..." )This is a bad nerd thing that many of us do. It's counterproductive IMO.

@futurebird @fraggle my whole career right now is supporting the development of 2.4GHz wireless communication ICs including BT. Even I'm constantly wondering why people are putting Bluetooth in things that obviously don't need it (I'm looking at you medical devices).

@fraggle @zip damn! maybe if Apple didn't charge ten bucks for MFi licensing this would not happenthis happens because Apple acts like a cop and your solution is for it to be more of a cop? cmon.

@futurebird I think they meant "self-inflicted" by Apple, not the end user.

@futurebird @charlotte @fraggle > If you dislike Apple for their failings why alienate some who is criticizing them by implying everything is their fault, or that such nonsense is avoidable with any large company?I read the comment as a criticism of Apple, not the OP.But it's possible that the instructions/packaging for the devices clearly documented how they work. (The OP was in a rush before catching a plane.)I see these devices as a clever workaround.
