I've worked with Bluetooth (classic) and BLE (Limited Energy) a bit with Android, Arduino etc.
The only relevance that may have to this is that it _should_ be quite easy to open up the speakers and de-solder the connection for the Bluetooth device. You _should_ be able to disable (desolder) the Bluetooth component if you can get into the speakers.
However, the problem may be with opening up the speakers. I know a lot of times with consumer products they basically have no way in without destroying the outer appearance. Is this a possibility? Can you get into the electronics without destroying the appearance. If you can you can surely remove the Bluetooth capability and still have functioning speakers.
BTW that is unfortunate that is such a terrible design.

I'm afraid you are right... if I try to get inside I'll have to destroy half of the loudspeaker...
And the second part of the problem is that it's not a good idea having me near a soldering iron...

Hi,
You say it connects when in standby mode, but whilst powered up you have to fiddle with buttons to connect?
So why not just leave it permanently powered up? Just turn down volume or supply no signal?
Oh and buy another speaker of same make and give it to the neighbour then connect periodically and mess with them!
Cheerio

It goes standby automatically after 15 minutes without playing a sound...
Once in Standby anyone can connect to it through Bluetooth.
From any cell phone or device connected to the speakers you can control the volume.

Unless you're using Class 1, the range should be "about" 30 feet or less.

I've been able to get more than 10 meters away from the loudspeakers while streaming music via Bluetooth...
Not tried to go further...
I have the loudspeakers in a room that's close to my neighbor house... just a wall between both...
Now that you say that... I'd love having that guy/girl in my house... that way he/she could learn to fly through my window.

clima change is normal in the history of the earth, so there ice ages and times where NO ice in polar regions.
The ocean level is swinging around about 50 meters higher and 100 meter lower.

can we also blame climate change for humans showing up on this tiny little blue planet?
clearly that was an error too.

The human race is evidence that even gods make mistakes.
I guess you could say they are only human after all...

I am not objecting to that ... as long as we are willng to take the consequences of it. Like, to follow up your example, every area below an altitude of a hundred meters being flooded. If that is OK with us, why worry about the climate?
Or, the artic and antarctic ice melting (well, this is related to the ocean level), with whatever effect that will have on the average temperature on Earth, possibly killing off major parts (or all!) of humanity. If that is OK with us, why worry about the climate?
Sure: We have got air condition systems, so global heating won't bother us. Our electricity bill may go up somewhat, but we can affort it.

Scott Adams isn't big on climate change and that's essentially what this strip is about. Please let's not let this thread devolve into a debate on the subject.

It is remarkable that such open criticism is tolerated. In the UK not one single news outlet, public commentator, personality, or celebrity is not 100% on message.

because the UK is ridiculously left win anyone who disagrees is pilloried

This intolerance on other opinions is a hugh problem. Only open minded discussion leads to better solutions. I am afraid about upcoming dark ages, because I lived in socialism and know its consequences.

Dunno if that was simpler than most, or I just got it right away. Good one though!

I seemed to have screwed up BOTH Win7 VMs, so I decided to start over.
On my dekstop, I was smart enough to have made a snapshot of the VM aftr getting the VM working with the display, USB3 and networking, before installing any dev tools. This allowed me to delete the snapshot and create a new one, and only have to install the dev tools again.
The loaptop was a different story, and I had to delete the entire vm and start from scratch. I'm finally at the point that I can start installing dev tools again.
What a crappy kind of weekend...

How about starting the installation by a story...
0. Grab bottle of Shiner.
1. Walk in to your desk.
2. Open your laptop.
3. Turn on the power.
4. Google and download the tools.
5.More stories...

I've keep a few VM's in different stages.
First one is base OS with basic utils and settings the way I like, then take a snapshot
clone that (after snapshot) and add dev utils, database tools, libs (but not the databases), snap shot
clone that, install & pref-set visual studio, snapshot
clone that, snapshot, add local databases, snapshot, do work, occasional snapshots (so backup only needs the last snapshot file)
the last [pre-clone] snapshot on each machine, (particularly the first one), provides for testing on a fully clean settings (untainted by something quick-modded during dev/app install and not recorded in the installer script/notes, i.e. reg setting/dll often overlooked) and fully clean/restore it after for the next time.
... if say added some garbage extension/setting to vs, can snap back to the clean vs
... if say database upgrades, can test the upgrade. if wanted few months later roll back snaps/clones and re-build "new machines" using it as the base version.
lately moving from vs17 to 19: cloned pre-vs and installed/pref set 19 - fully clean, no 17 baggage issues
(and just in case of problems kept the vs17 ones around till I was sure I could ditch them.)
think like those guys like linus on youtube when they test soft/hardware: they have a store room of different machines to pick from - some clean/re-cleaned, some [part] modded, some old, some different o/s....)

Okay, that was an analogy.
I was trying a little piece of Python code. Got a bit surprised with the "positional"-indentation requirements in code. Just like how it used to be in older programming languages like Cobol. (I'm not sure if any other recent programming languages enforce these)
For example,
If x is a:
do
is different from
if x is a:
do
It's funny, and doesn't this sound rudimentary and a bit annoying?

The first version will not work as it has a syntax error. It should be:
