I guess I’m easy to please, but, recently I got myself a better bluetooth dongle over the holidays. I had one before, but it was stupid cheap, connection was frail and didn’t have good range. Now I have one with Bluetooth 5.4 and I’m amazed with what I can do with it.

I can funnel sound to any one of my bluetooth speakers so I don’t have it hogging my main speakers when I want something close by me.

Speaking of which, I wish I had really known this far earlier in my days of using a computer. But, being able to split audio in multiple ways. I can assign where sound is going to, program to program. One browser gets these headsets, that browser gets the TV speakers .etc

That kind of shit amazes me and damn shame I never explored this before.

    I’ve always been fascinated by the act of pushing a button to make something happen. Like since before I remember. Lift / Elevator buttons especially at first*. Light switches, even.

    Then combine that with relatively high-functioning ASD or AuDHD or whatever’s actually going on between my ears, creating an affinity for things are logical and lack messy, confusing emotions.

    *There’s one lift that’s been in service longer than I’ve been alive, was frequently used by my mother when I was in a pushchair / stroller to bypass the nearby staircase. I still yearn to go back to it, press the buttons for myself, see the way they light up and ride the lift. The last time I was nearby it was busy and in use by mothers using pushchairs / strollers, believe it or not. The nerve!
