current day bluetooth is what bluetooth 20 years ago wanted us to think it was

Fun realization: "Bluetooth 20 years ago" is how Wiimotes worked.

it was the latest version of bluetooth at the time to be fair

2 was 2004, and 2.1 was 2007. wii was 2006

I agree with this.

It worked so well because they were able to make sure that exact chip worked well connecting to itself using a predictable protocol.

Oh, I'm not saying the Wii's Bluetooth was inadequate or anything (at least, I never had any issues with it). "Bluetooth 20 years ago" just prompted me to think about what sort of Bluetooth devices were around 20 years ago, and I realized the Wii comes very close to fitting that bill (and I guess was actually using a version that is now 20 years old). And then I felt old.

There is nothing fun about this at all
