Not to mention the combination of "microphone in the laptop body + person who doesn't turn off their microphone when they're not speaking + person who seems to never stop typing during a call" tends to be distracting at best.

Bluetooth codecs/profiles do not enforce social norms. And I hope they never will.

EDIT: they also won't get rid of useless meetings where people are not mentally present but do other stuff instead.

Guess I gotta correct my assumptions then, I clearly thought they did.

Regardless, microphones built-in the same body people type against will remain a personal pet-peeve for me.

Don't forget "exhaust fan outlet located next to the mic and about to take off"
