This is why I'm afraid of implanted electronics; I can have a Bluetooth headset around my neck connected to my laptop with 400 browser tabs any number of which could be YouTube, and wonder who's speaking.

Bluetooth speakers are nowadays overenginerred as fuck.
Never owned one, until i got one for free, and since then only have problems with it.
The last time i had to reset the firmware, because IT REFUSED TO FUCKING CHARGE after it turned off because of low battery...
Turns out it was because it has internal memory for configs, so the stuff you can do with their app (ofcorse, because having a bluetooth audio sink is not enough) gets friggin saved. When they break, it soft bricks the firmware. -
scor38112ySeems like we had a sudden radio burst last night. Cutting all devices' signals at the same time.
Luckily we also got burglars circulating the county. Yay!
Countermeasures taken. Always appreciate your recommendations! Thanks. -
@scor I don't know how your post relates to anything but it's quite well known that burglars use wifi jammers to mess up wireless cameras. Some security systems make an alert when such a jammer is detected.

PC. Wait, the sound has moved behind me... And I've only moved my BT speakers. Which are turned off. That's odd... could it be? Put one to one ear and another one to another and wait for the remaining 15 seconds
