Never got my Bose QC35 ii to work properly, seems like a limitation of Bluetooth. Ended up buying a yeti snowball and its far better than any headset mic I've ever used.
The real question is, "which one of the gazillion voice chat apps can properly filter audio without a lengthy setup that my mongoloid friends will skip?"
I am the guy moving the group to different apps and platforms, some follow more reluctantly but in the end we stick together. We've jumped from TS2 to Skype, Dolby Axon, Mumble, Hangouts, Discord, Mumble and back to Discord. Now I'm getting a strong whiff of enshittification, and I'm weighing my options. We're about 10-12 but mostly 4 or 5 active at a time.
Jami, Matrix, Jitsi, Rocket and again ol reliable Mumble.. It'd be nice if mumble had screen share and a better automatic audio setup, so far the best quality of vc over any other app/service.
I'll check out Movim I saw named in the comments, any other hidden gem I should try?
This! I'd say that the best we can do is educate. Over the last 20 years people got taught to be lazy and go with the herd. They don't want to change, all their stuff is already "in the cloud" and "I don't have time to go tinker with that nerd stuff, I need something that works".
"Why learn a new messaging app if everyone is using WhatsApp already"
Sorry, I jumped ship before that feature was a thing. I think it's exclusive to "pro" win10 but I remember a relative using it. Windows 2 go or something like that was the name.
Anyway, happy new year, and hope you can figure it out!
Create a windows to go install on a USB to NVMe caddy, use something like nano11 and set the BIOS to boot off the NVMe. Whenever the kiddo wants to play fortnite, just plug the device and reboot
This is to avoid windows overwriting your EFI partition and nuking your bootloader at random times, the reason I stopped dual booting after win 8.1
We've spent last few months playing Enshrouded. The dedicated server is a resource hog tho, even on an empty server it'd use a ton of CPU time. Still lots of fun with a few friends exploring and building stuff
Same here, got locked out of my main gmail/google account and there was no real person to help me recover 10+ years of my stuff. Never again.
