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?
Too many devices are set to actively try to connect to anything in pairing mode because normal people can not be taught to press the right device in a list of devices or to press a button to accept…
Is the inability to follow extremely simple instructions actually the norm these days? The answer may shock you. More at 11.
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.
Early Bluetooth devices used numeric codes that basically made this impossible to happen.
I know. I don’t buy new BT often and don’t live close enough to anyone for this to be an issue, but I thought everything had a pairing button that you had to hold for a few seconds at the very least. Even the M3 noise damping headphone I use had a default password of 0000 that you can’t accidentally input. They really made everything for the lowest common denominator.
Plus someone’s baby crying in the background
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.
