Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing

I will die on the hill that Bluetooth always has and always will suck ass. Pairing sucks. Latency sucks. Random-ass disconnects suck. Fuck Bluetooth in the neck sideways with a rusty screwdriver.

I just want a headset that doesn’t descend into hissing at me in mono over a crackly 1940s phoneline whenever I dare to use the microphone.

No phone aux jack conspiracy has re-entered the conversation

Anyone know what kind location accuracy Bluetooth 5 currently has?

Why would you need centimeter-level accuracy?

audio latency when

Will this centimeter level tracking only work for paired devices or will retailers be tracking us even more closely now.

yes yes yes but... will I finally be able to boot my wife off the bathroom speaker so I can play my music without running around the house naked yelling at her to disconnect?!

Bet any money that it will still cut out and have latency issues

improves device pairing

V6 seems a little soon for this unnecessary feature. Maybe push it back a few versions.

Does it improve the bandwidth so higher quality codecs can be used without having to switch between good quality sound and shitty mics to shitty sound and good mics? I mean seriously, we're in 2024 and we still can't have quality parity with a wired headset when using Bluetooth because the bandwidth sucks so much ass that better codecs just can't be used. Bluetooth can die in a fucking fire.

does anyone actually want that? seems beyond the original use case

Bluetooth should be killed

All my bose devices pair like a charm. One of the uphills of choosing that brand.

what about built in multipoint?

Better VR tracking here we come

Interesting this could provide an alternative to RTK Gps. Currently robo lawnmowers with RTK are pretty expensive.
