There is that, of course. In the northern hemisphere there may be some people
who have not been diving in the last ten days... hard to imagine, but likely
true...
Still, they should be THINKING about diving. And about testing Subsurface.

I don't think it's useless. And I think it's something I can actually change on
the backend... let me tinker with this :-)

OK, so that's a USB device, not BT. One of my concerns is our BT support - I'm
hoping that the newer version of Qt that I switched to won't give us any
regressions, but of course you never know...

I think the preferences bug should be fixed now. There was an odd interaction
between the deco algorithm set in the planner and set in the dive log. We track
those separately, but there was a situation where the wrong preference could
end up being used.
Thanks for all your help testing this. Very much appreciated.
