It’s wild to me just how much Bluetooth can do. When it was new my mental model had it binned as a “basic comms within 10 feet”.

Last week my kid got to the bus stop before “Controller Disconnected” revealed the PS5 controller was in his backpack.

I wonder if "controller disconnected" is a combination of distance and time.

Meaning he got 25 feet away when communication stopped, then there was a delay while retries/timeout happened, and then the message when 100 feet away.

Good thought. I’ll test this with a faraday cage maybe? Would a microwave work? Does it have to be on?

you could just walk slow vs walk fast?

That sounds less electrifying.
