Mysterious missing bluetooth device

I've had this happen before, KDE swears I have no bluetooth device, despite no errors in journal or dmesg.

Even lsusb shows no bluetooth device.

Install "rfkill" and run

# rfkill list
...
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
then
# rfkill unblock bluetooth

and everything works again.
