Ngl I really want to know what the tick icon actually does now.

[-] IpsumLauren@lemmy.world 48 points 2 weeks ago

If you hover on it (without clicking, resist the temptation) it says it is for "Mark/unmark this device as trusted".

[-] cholesterol@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Which in turn doesn't quite explain what happens. For me, the relevant difference was that 'trusted' devices autoconnect.

[-] certified_expert@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Alright, do not trust device. Guess what that mf autoconnects anyways!

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 15 points 2 weeks ago

Afair it pairs the selected bluetooth device. It will then enable the button left to it, to add the selected and connected device as trusted.

My assumption for the key icon was something to do with PINs/passkeys, which kind of reinforces OP's point.

Exactly! Why did two of the icons get icon+text label status, while the others got just icon status?!

Either standardized on icon + text label, or just icon, or just text.

We stopped using pictogram representations of concepts 2000 years ago and pivoted to symbols representing speech sounds, why are we regressing to pictograms again?
