To connect AirPods: `sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf`
# Restricts all controllers to the specified transport. Default value
# is "dual", i.e. both BR/EDR and LE enabled (when supported by the HW).
# Possible values: "dual", "bredr", "le"
# ControllerMode = bredr
Uncomment `ControllerMode` and set it to `bredr`
Then `sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart` to restart Bluetooth.
To use a mouse, reverse this procedure.
