Why are Bluetooth technical issues always so wacky?

257 viewsOtherTechnology

I don’t know if this is going to make any sense to anyone but hear me out. It feels like whenever you have an issue with Bluetooth it’s some kinda goofy ass problem that would only happen with Bluetooth devices.

To give some examples:
– Interactions between multiple Bluetooth devices being janky
– Devices connecting to each other when you don’t want them to, or refusing to connect when you do want them to.
– weird audio glitches in specific scenarios
– audio devices switching back and forth between two other devices they’ve been paired with recently

Obviously I understand at a base level that there’s radio waves carrying information and these can be interrupted by stuff like microwaves. But I’m more talking about issues regarding pairing, and other odd quirks that you don’t experience when using other wireless connections like WiFi.

Can someone explain in layman’s terms why Bluetooth is like this? Or am I just being crazy

Bluetooth communication is like attending an English Commonwealth meeting

Everyone speaks English nominally but everyone has a dialect and an accent and some cultural associations with words that don’t quite fit across multiple English speaking cultures

When people at this convention speak the most basic version of English it makes more sense (basic Bluetooth on well established protocols)

When people try more advanced versions of English it becomes a bit more nuanced and easier to have errors in communication (beta version of Bluetooth or newly adopted versions of a Bluetooth standard)
