On: Jabra denies support for Elite 85t Bluetooth earbu...

I'd hope they lose the Bluetooth label and certification for this kind of crap, but we know nothing will happen.

Come on; bluetooth is in year ~20 of public alpha test. No certification would mean a thing besides, "Bluetooth: it could work!"

[hyperdimension → x0x0]

That's a pretty good slogan. I vote for a duel between Bluetooth and USB-C marketers as to who can use it.

EDIT: the idea of tunneling USB-C ports over Bluetooth (like the wireless USB standard that I never quite saw take off) just occurred to me while writing this comment. What fresh hell.

You'd have to prove that they're the ones with the faulty Bluetooth implementation, not the PC hardware, drivers, or OS.

[AshamedCaptain → g051051]

Not when they're the ones claiming they don't want to interoperate with stuff that does have Bluetooth certification (e.g. Apple hardware).

[g051051 → AshamedCaptain]

They have said they don't want to interoperate. They said they won't certify against whatever random hardware and software a person has in their PC.

[g051051 → g051051]

Typo: "They haven't said they...". I noticed too late to edit!

Who exactly certifies MacOS (or any OS) for Bluetooth compliance?

[userbinator → smoldesu]

It's usually not about the OS but the BT controller (hardware) itself.

[AshamedCaptain → userbinator]

No, both the OS and the hardware are certified by the Bluetooth SIG. An example: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/pipe...
