While we're at it, let's come up with a tactile way to connect wireless things. I'm so tired of hunting down all of my devices and disabling Bluetooth just so that when I turn on my headphones they connect to the appropriate device.

I'd love to just touch the two things together and hear a beep to know they're paired.

That's actually how my headphones (sony 1000xm3 I think they are) can be paired, there's an nfc chip on one of the sides which if you tap your phone to will turn on bluetooth, turn on the headphones, connect, and the headphones will beep and say bluetooth connected. It's the most seamless wireless connection I've had with bluetooth

Sounds awesome, now we just need to get NFC boopers on everything that has a speaker.
