Public bug reported: In the Power Saving section of the Power tab of the Settings app, there are two switches, one labelled "Wi-Fi" with subheading "Wi-Fi can be turned off to save power" and the other labelled "Bluetooth" with subheading "Bluetooth can be turned off to save power". On my machine, the "Wi-Fi" switch is off and the "Bluetooth" switch is on. (Screenshot attached.)
I do not know what these switches mean, and I do not know what will change if I change their settings. Does this mean * yes Ubuntu is permitted to switch off your wifi to save power but it's not permitted to switch off your Bluetooth, or * it is permitted to switch off your Bluetooth but not permitted to switch off your wifi, or * your bluetooth is already switched off to save power but wifi is always on, or * wifi is already switched off to save power but bluetooth is always on, or * something else entirely? I am utterly confused.
