It’s pretty cool how things we purchase can just lose functionality at the drop of a hat.

There really should be a Bluetooth setting for “do not auto connect me.” My car does this too, I wear bluetooth headphones a lot and for short to medium car trips it’s not worth it to have to connect and put my headphones back only to pull them back out and reconnect after I arrive, I’d rather just listen to headphones the whole time, but my car waits until I’ve turned on the car and pulled out of the driveway to auto connect against my wishes.
Sadly I don’t think bluetooth was really designed for how interconnected it has become. I’m still annoyed bluetooth multi-point is so broken :/, rather than interviewing multiple audio sources to the same speaker it just force mutes one when the other comes and at least for my momentum 4s I don’t see an option to set the priority or suppress this.
Bluetooth is definitely due for an overhaul.
The way multiple connections are managed at the moment is woefully inadequate (when the devices even support it).
Hah mine too. Playing a game on my laptop. Pull up my phone. Browse to a webpage. My headphones “OH YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THE AD ON THIS PAGE ON YOUR PHONE OK SURE RIGHT NOW ONLY AD ONLY AD”
Fuuuuckkkk
