OK. I'm printing chicken.pdf at work tomorrow.

If I get a call from my boss or IT, I'll just blame you guys

There are so many open devices in my apartment building, but none of my neighbors are a problem so I don’t have the impetus to really explore my options. It’s a shame.

You just have to set the bar lower. Did somebody not wish you a lovely day as you pass them in the corridor?
Time to break into their house while they're away and wire up an air horn their toilet lid.

The guy doesn't like when the neighbors are loud, so he prompts them to... continue being loud. Except now it's directed at a child who may not even be involved in the loudness? Don't know about that one.

What’s New Pussycat for an hour, then It’s Not Unusual, then What’s New Pussycat for another hour

Baby shark do do do do.

Oh god don't bring cognitohazards into this

There’s a trap remix that’s actually tolerable.

I have a country song by a death metal band queued.

if i'm listening to vox and alastor flirting in song then you can bet the whole train is going to be listening to it too.

Eye of the Tiger and/or Final Countdown on repeat coming up.

Ring ring ring ring ring, banana phone...

Evil to even mention.

the only time my mom hated pbs

A perfectly valid and reasonable reaction, and yet the damage is done... forever...

Rookie mistake. Eyeryone knows you're supposed to play Pepper Coyote's Blast Radius when you have this opportunity.

I would go for the evergreen: Never Gonna Give You Up!

Bunch of media apps and whatnot have a share feature to allow someone to listen to what you're listening to from their own device, but a few of them are advertising it with people physically hanging out together using it. Man, if they are ij the same room and have their own headphones, they can just connect their headphones to my phone and we both listen to the song at the same time from the same player. AFAIK, there's not really a limit to how many devices you can connect via bluetooth. I know you can get at least 3 headphone sets going on mine before it starts to lag a bit.

The reason it exists primarily is so that music venues and museums and such can provide broadcast audio for accessibility and just in general without requiring people to use their janky headsets from the 80s. Once it exists and is actually in the hardware for the Bluetooth chips, the work to plug together a UI for it is relatively small for what looks like a big feature.

It also has some pretty good power savings over actually pairing a device, since neither device is looking for return communication to any significant degree, and it's geared for not giving the headphones device control in the way that a paired device gets.

Overall it's a good innovation, but not the most clear to market how you'll use it every day.

It is also a feature that should have come with the first version of bluetooth. Two devices listening at the same time is a no brainer.

Batteries weren't strong enough for wireless headsets when Bluetooth was first released

Well, there was nothing stopping anything from doing it before, they just didn't know there was a desire for broadcast, or for the broadcaster to be uninterested in the connection of the listener.
A lot of the protocol is about making sure that things are authenticated and private. You don't want a second set of headphones connecting without your knowledge usually.
This also lets you broadcast audio encrypted, without drowning out other radios, and keeps the listener from being able to do normal pairing tasks like "download contacts".

It's obvious now, but that's only after years of everyone walking around with small radio linked ear pieces.

Maybe an iphone feature. Android I haven't been able to connect more than 1 headset at once :(

Depends on the device, my last Samsung (Note9) had this feature.

I remember this website where you'd log on with your friends from wherever and each take turns choosing the next song

The most hilarious part of this is that speakers still exist.

Wtf.

Best to use this power for good:

Play "Indian Love Call" and find out how many Martians were on the train.

Finally everyome will know how cultured I am ("femur breaker 10 hours")
