Reply to TIL that cheap, un-shielded USB drive enclosures drastically reduce Bluetooth range by SomeGuyNamedJay
I was losing my mind over this. My Bluetooth keyboard would just suddenly die for no reason. Didn't realize my cheap USB which was plugged in right next to my BLT dongle was the culprit for weeks. No wonder the 64gb microcenter thumb drive is 5 bucks. They didn't shield it. Lol.

I remember that! They had conveyer belts from the warehouse to the front. No stock in the show room. You'd pick out what you wanted and then wait for it to be sent to the front. Really hi-tech stuff at the time, but big box stores obviously prefer the grab-and-go method.
