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?
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.
Don't give me ideas
Plus someone’s baby crying in the background
Rap music playing out loud through a shitty mic
Dogs start barking at something
Random ambulance truck with sirens passes by
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.
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
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.
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
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.

IDK, for me it would just be another thing to worry about, adding extra weight and cost with almost no benefit.
Teamate: I need a medic!
Other teamate: I am hit! I am hit!
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.
