And then there's another nag prompt if bluetooth headphones/mic are detected. The latency on those things can get horrendous, up to like 300 ms.

- nh2 2y agoExactly! I was shocked to learn that the latency from laptop to ear is higher than to the other side of the planet. Most people don't notice the adverse psychological aspects of this: People get really annoyed by when constantly talking over each other. It subconciously makes you dread talking to the other person. When everybody is using wired headphones, you suddenly like your coworkers more!
- maliker 2y agoAnd then there are apps/OSes that set the mic gain at like 5% of max, so everyone else has to put their volume at 95%. We should probably get off hacker news and just start building a teleconferencing app.
- klausa 2y agoThis would have 90% of the employees revolting within hours of instituting; for a very good reason.
- deathanatos 2y agoI guess I'm just not talking, then. This is the part where I mention how Bose, despite making a $300 headset, didn't put a pin/wire on the wired connection for the mic. (I usually use the laptop mic nonetheless, though, because for some reason if you want to record audio with bluetooth, the quality of the audio output becomes potato.)
