I know the meme format is kinda wrong. It's also kinda right.

Because it drains your battery like you poked a hole in it?

Did you get your battery saving advice from 15 years ago?

It shouldn't be draining like that, at least...

Even if you turn it off the radio is still powered on and scanning in the background (wifi too), unless you specifically disable that as well. The battery drain is negligible

  1. I did disable the scanning.
  2. Looked it up. Seems like it's actually pretty low when not connected.

I never really thought about it because I use Bluetooth about once month at best. Still, leaving it on when I don't need it seems silly. But maybe it only does when you don't need it again a few minutes later.
