@jeder Wish I could say "just buy a dongle from other vendor", but Bluetooth hardware is a piece of crap in general - for example, Baseus dongle with a clone of CSR chip will refuse to work if firmware isn't loaded fast enough (e.g. on cold boot), but it will work when plugged into already running Linux system.

@jeder Funny because I sold M1 MBA due to unfixable bugs in macOS, Apple never responded to my bug reports :blobcatgooglyshrug:

And yes, sadly Intel cards (iwlwifi/btintel) suck now. It's insane to see MediaTek running better than Intel ones.

@elly what were these bugs?

@jeder
1. Apple Music stopping playback in the first 3 seconds of the song while it switched quality to high
2. Broken spotlight in BugSur, had to write a script that killed it, cleared caches and re-started the daemon
3. Broken VLAN support
4. Other minor annoyances that I don't remember, haven't touched macOS in 2 years
