I want the ability to manually control when my laptop connects to my bluetooth speaker - so disabling autoconnect. I usually play music from my phone so the laptop autoconnecting can result in it taking over the phone.

The Internet says the way to do this is to "Untrust" the speaker, but then I get this dialog like 5-10 times after turning on the speaker, it's incredibly annoying to have to keep pressing deny.

Any ideas how to stop this? #Linux #EndeavourOS #ArchLinux

I don't think you can, unless you go hunting for a bug and fix it in your driver itself. Your device is spamming connections in case they get dropped and your computer, for one reason or another, is just displaying all of them. The GUI software could technically ignore repeated signals too, I'd imagine it's just safer to not do so.
