I’m noticing a lot of issues with bluetooth popping up, and they only seem to be getting worse.

First it was my PS3 controller. Randomly stopped working with bluetooth after an update.

Then I noticed bluetooth sometimes just… crashes and doesn’t recover. There’s probably some weird/sketchy command I can use to reset it, but I’ve just resorted to rebooting whenever it happened.

Now my bluetooth speaker just straight up fails to connect. I was using it, the connection ‘failed’, and now it won’t connect. Lol.

Meanwhile on my phone it works just fine.

Is anyone else having issues? Does it feels like the quality of bluetooth support has diminished in recent months?

To me, this feels like some new contributors are doing things they shouldn’t be doing or some other cultural shift among them.

    Have you seen the recently posted PSA on the linux page here? Seems a security hole was patched in bluez and it has affected some devices.
