Hello! I’m new to Lemmy (this is my first post, I’m excited) so please tell me if I’m doing anything wrong.

Now my question: I’m looking for portable speakers that have their own rechargeable battery but just aux input, no bluetooth, no wifi etc. Does this exist?

Thank you and have a nice day.

    Since this is a privacy-oriented, it may be possible to disable Bluetooth permanently by modifying the speaker. These options are risky, and could easily result in a non-functional speaker.

    Option 1 is to disable the pairing button. If it’s a rubberized button with the contact pressing on the circuit board, you can put electrical tape over that portion of the board. For touch sensors, you could try removing the wiring, but you risk disabling all buttons.

    Option 2 is to disable the Bluetooth. You can attempt to remove the antenna or possibly just cutting the traces (metal lines) of the antenna. If you can identify a separate Bluetooth chip, see if you can remove the power to the chip. That could be as easy as desoldering the input pin and lifting it off the pad slightly, or cutting the trace entirely.
