recommended bluetooth adaptor

[vsreeser]

Want to add a bluetooth adaptor to my computer. Running Kubuntu 14.04. Any recommendations? Prefer to buy off amazon so I don't have to drive all over. Plus, the wife has the car most days

I have one of these and it works fine. You can get smaller and more current models though, like this one.

This one looks high powered!

First one I've seen with that range. They're usually up to 30 feet.

Yeah, me too - that's why I linked it. I can't imagine why I need to be 100 feet from my computer with anything, but what the heck, right?

Ordered a battio Bluetooth CSR 4.0 dongle from amazon. The CSR8510 chipset says it works with linux. Guess I'll let everyone know when it gets here tomorrow. Or maybe friday, since daughter's 15th bday is tomorrow

Bluetooth dongle installed just fine.

Wonder how it got the name bluetooth

From Wiki:

The word "Bluetooth" is an anglicized version of the Scandinavian Blåtand/Blåtann, (Old Norseblátǫnn) the epithet of the tenth-century king Harald Bluetooth who united dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom and, according to legend, introduced Christianity as well. The idea of this name was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach who developed a system that would allow mobile phones to communicate with computers. At the time of this proposal he was readingFrans G. Bengtsson's historical novel The Long Ships about Vikings and king Harald Bluetooth.^[8][9] The implication is that Bluetooth does the same with communications protocols, uniting them into one universal standard.^[10][11][12]The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes (Hagall) (ᚼ) and (Bjarkan) (ᛒ), Harald's initials.

Thats cool. Related to him through his son, Sweyn I, Forkbeard, King Of Denmark if the info on familysearch.org is right.
