Bluetooth is such a fussy, unreliable protocol.
I’d love to have a new, modern protocol that simply requires some kind of basic, physical connection to pair two devices. That way, I’d always know exactly which two devices are connected and a third couldn’t break it so easily.

Of course I expect that it would lead to something with the unreliability of Bluetooth and the requirement that you physically touch the devices together every time it loses its connection.

Right, for sure. I was thinking more like a wire or cable that physically connected the two devices. If the wire is connected, then they can share audio, else they can’t.
