Not to be rude, but it's really wild to me that even after all this time during the pandemic, the CEO doesn't have a headset he can use so that the audio is intelligible. It's gotta be one of the highest ROI investments you can possibly make at this point.
- abluecloud 6y agoa functioning fire suppression system would have probably been better but second to that i guess a mic would be a good investment

- LinuxBender 6y agoThis is typically a FM200 system in the datacenter [1] which is a pressurized gas. There are also often water "dry-pipes" in place that can pressurize if the FM200 fails. Fire suppression codes vary by country. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_fire_suppression https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_fire_suppression
- __turbobrew__ 6y agoThere are gas based fire suppression system such as FM-200 and Novec 1230. If you aren't using gas based fire suppression systems it is basically an amateur operation. The small data centre at my work (10-ish racks) has a FM-200 fire suppression system, it really isn't that expensive to set up.

- bigyikes 6y agoThis also frustrates me so much with all the newly-live-streamed events this year. So many companies are spending so much money putting together virtual conferences, but can’t be bothered to ship their speakers a decent mic or webcam. Heck, Apple’s $20 headphones would make a huge difference. Instead we get audio that sounds like it was recorded in my shower.
- gruez 6y agoThe audio was mostly fine, it was just randomly crapping out for a few seconds at a time.
- sneak 6y agoHeadset with mic, a neutral backdrop, a key light, a good camera, and a skincare routine have all paid for themselves 10x since this thing started, in my case.
