  • Bluetooth connection is lossy, with the exception of some Sony proprietary shitcodecs that can rarely actually maintain a stable enough connection to stay in lossless mode.

    Whether you'll actually hear any difference is a different question, but the answer is maybe. The Bluetooth codecs are generally low quality, despite opus already existing and being on paper really good for the job (and implemented by pipewire but nothing else unfortunately). Bluetooth instead standardized some patent encumbered codecs with high licensing fees that are only about as good as or possibly worse than mp3. They also have very high latency and using them to watch videos of people talking sucks

  • It's unencrypted and we know with certainly that the messages are stored by federal agencies and cell carriers. It also requires giving out one's phone number which may be undesirable in some situations

  • I'm skeptical of Braxman. For someone who is supposedly an expert on the topic, he's made some pretty bizarre and incorrect claims, such as that an ordinary person can map someone's ip address to an exact physical address
