in an impressive level of fuck-up, my bluetooth headphones are connecting to my windows laptop just fine, except not as an audio output or input
so... they're just chillin I suppose

Didn't have Windows that issue where they weren't shipping the headset profiles etc at some point? So it's paired and connected, but no profile selected
@foone "lets just stay in touch, we don't need a reason to"
probably as a HID device? I don't recall how to check this in windows.
anyway I finally got it working, just told windows to forget the bluetooth device and re-added it from the sound menu
@foone I hate how often you have to do this on Windows, it’s like they didn’t quite finish the Bluetooth implementation and I can’t even blame copilot because it’s been this way for a decade lol
oh my god my other headphones are doing this now
they don't even have a microphone! they are ONLY speakers, and yet...
I disconnected them and re-paired them and windows told me I needed to restart to finish setting up my new device
what the windows 95 is going on?
@foone Did it ask you to close all other applications during the install?
@foone there's a nirsoft device viewer tool that can debug this, iirc
@foone how have we not moved on from Bluetooth? Every time I have a problem with it I go back down the rabbit hole of how the protocol was never dreamed of as a data transfer but just a way to send remote commands.
@foone alice are they a keyboard
@foone it would be funny (to me personally) if they were recognised as joypads specifically.
because the PSVR2 controllers, when connected through USB, act as audio outputs.
no the controllers don't have speakers.
they do have rumble.
