In this episode of My Weird Prompts, hosts Herman and Corn tackle a question that puzzles every modern traveler: how do hundreds of Bluetooth devices stay connected in a crowded airport without constant interference? They peel back the layers of the 2.4GHz "junk band" to reveal a sophisticated system of radio frequency hygiene. The duo explores the fascinating history of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), a technology co-invented by Hollywood legend Hedy Lamarr to guide torpedoes, which now powers our wireless earbuds. Listeners will learn about the mechanics of pseudo-random hopping sequences, the efficiency of the LC3 codec, and the brilliance of Adaptive Frequency Hopping. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just curious about why your music doesn't stutter in a terminal, this deep dive explains the invisible architecture keeping our digital lives synchronized.
