This is kinda cool, but also falls apart at airplane scale:

I was recently on a flight, and had neglected to pair my AirPods Pro to my Steam Deck before takeoff. I put my AirPods in pairing mode, and I saw the familiar AirPods pairing pop up on everyone's iPhones and iPads around me — someone nearby (that I didn't see) of course hit connect to pair my AirPods to their device.

After a few more failed attempts, I gave up, AirPods left unpaired (to my devices). My husband thought it was hilarious.
