That makes sense, K for Bluetooth. Very Microsoft.

Right up there with Ctrl-X, C and V for Xut, Copy and Vaste respectively.
I always interpreted as X because it looks like a pair of scissors, C for copy and V just because it's close to the others.
I just love when patterns fall apart
I suspect that's mostly due to the qwerty layout
K is vaguely the shape of the rune in the Bluetooth icon.
This doesn’t work with Win 11 though. I miss it.
My overall experience with Bluetooth connectivity in Win11 has been challenging to put it very mildly.
whats with that? and why dont i get native text to speech? why are phones advancing and PC arent
PCs are, Windows isn't
I suppose you're going to give me a 25-step process to install voice to text on linux now, as if i couldn't still do the same thing on windows right?
I was referencing Bluetooth, so no
Most desktops don't have microphones, although all laptops do. I guess it was never deemed useful enough since a mouse and keyboard have been fine for decades. Text To Speech was created as a way to assist with "arduous" text input on mobile devices with small screens.
I dobt hace any proboems tyojing on by pjone keyvosrd.
i don't know a single PC user that doesn't have a camera/microphone, and the technology is all there. its just laziness on developers part. And by "developers" here, I of course mean the bean counters that decide what the actual devs work on.
I don't have a webcam. And I didn't have a functioning microphone for several years until recently.
Well if it doesn't apply to you then fuck everybody else I suppose
Bluetooth on Windows is trash. It's not possible to have separate left and right volume controls, and headset buttons are not recognized.
Typical Microsoft
Win + I brings a way busier screen but it shows the Bluetooth devices with their connect button right there.
Works in Windows 10 as well but there it requires an extra click to select the device so that the "connect" button is shown.
I actually went back to headphones with a cable because of that shit
I keep the Bluetooth icon always visible in the system tray, double clicking it opens the paired devices directly. Still working on 11.
That's actually one thing from win11 that i like: They put a quick bluetooth menu in the Control Centre (gear icon), no need to open the settings page and scroll through all the devices.
