> I finally capitulated to earbuds

I'm not audiophile, but I was prepared to do the same, despite the discomfort and obviously-lower sound quality... but the mic isn't even sufficient for meetings in a public place (e.g. a diner at lunch time), whereas my laptop's builtin mic is. How can they expect us to use these things??

Exact opposite for me: other people can't hear anything if the meeting app uses my laptop's mic.

Not directly relevant.

funny how disorienting it is to see the galaxy from this orientation after playing so much elite dangerous
