What about dedicated Bluetooth headsets for phones, like plantronics? Aren't they supposed to work bidirectional with high quality audio? Or do they also use the standard Bluetooth profiles/protocols?

Can anyone recommend a bluetooth headset (i.e. speakers and mic) which does not have this issue, as mentioned in the article: "Low quality. Related to the codec issue, many bluetooth devices will play high-quality audio when the microp

Related: I have always considered that the chance of finding life (or intelligent life) is unknown, because unless we don't find a second data point (first being us) it is not possible to estimate how common or rare it is. We can talk

So, in an atom, how much volume does the electron cloud occupy? It's more than the volume an electron occupies, but, in the upper end, does it occupy all the space from the electron to the nucleus? (And also because it is rotating, tha

What is viral load, and doesn't it eventually become the same for everyone infected after some time during which the virus multiplies?

The usual pattern in this case is to add first name and then all rest of the names in the first_name field. And last name in the last name field. Users can be made aware of this on the UI. Another option is to create a middle_names or other

Generally very nice, but I did not find the 3 levels of difficulties. Where can I see them?

TCP is self correcting. So in the end the receiver gets the whole data, correctly. But it happens with a delay. For audio you need real-time synchronous data feed, and cannot wait for the error correction round trip to happen.

A vaccine dose proactively creates memory cells (memory B cells) in the body, which allow the body to IMMEDIATELY create fighter cells (plasma cells) when the body is infected with the actual virus, thus stopping it in its tracks. Without v

"I read the Bible out of curiosity and ended up joining a church, so that's pretty consequential." In that case, to be fair to yourself, did you also read the Quran, for comparison? Other religious texts?
