    Wiimote whiteboard

    Back in 2008 I had a program on my MacBook running 10.6 called wiimote whiteboard. It was a free download, (still out there but doesn't work with Big Sur) and would allow you to connect a wiimote to your MacBook via Bluetooth. The program would then put a series of crosshairs on the screen...

    How do you see what Bluetooth version a connected device is?

    So I'm having trouble deciding which Magic Trackpad to get, the Magic Trackpad 2 or the 2021 version. It seems most differences are superficial like a slight aesthetic redesign to match the M1 iMacs better and a different cable in the box. But what I really want to know is whether the 2021 has...

    Home Small battery-powered Bluetooth speaker recommendations?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a small, portable Bluetooth speaker? Battery-powered is a must. Charged by USB-C is a bonus. Probably in the $30-$50 range. To be used around the house and perhaps outside gardening, to listen to tunes. Not an audiophile, but don’t want tin can sound...

    Multiple Bluetooth Connections

    Does using a couple of Bluetooth connections at the same time affect audio quality? I have my iPhone 11 connected to my car stereo for Spotify, and to a diagnostics dongle at the same time. Does this reduce the bandwidth available and therefore sound quality?
