The Bluetooth chipset installed in popular models from major manufacturers is vulnerable. Hackers could use it to initiate calls and eavesdrop on devices.

    I used a USB connection through my KVM to connect to one computer or the next. But it’s just something to plug my headphones into the 3.5mm jack.

    Since it never gets unplugged, it doesn’t get lost; unlike all those “just have this snowflake dongle in one of all of your stuff so it can get lost monthly and you can buy another” people.

    Again: my startac 7800 had a jack and it was tiny. Apple and Samsung have NO EXCUSE.
