Might be able to reinstall with a windows 11 iso and get the drivers via update.

We have all this "telemetry" but we can't do anything with it.
We can still use it to improve the product...

That gives me a good idea for a homebrew D&D monster my players will hate. Thanks!

What’s the point of rejecting an animated gif that’s too big if it’ll only show one frame anyway…

status: Windows decided to hold all my notifications until just now. No I'm not in "do not disturb mode" or "focus mode". Notifications were working two hours ago.
Just...

For about three minutes straight.
Neat.

@loopback0 Enabled by Group Policy because the Admin wants it to be like that?

@loopback0 Yes, because
oftenvery, very rarely, honest I'm AFK and want to know if someone is expecting me to be paying attention.

Apparently, in Win 11, MS's Bluetooth audio driver allows either the use of the headset mic for Zoom/Teams/Discord/whatever, but listening to mono audio with only 1960s AM radio quality , or decent stereo audio but the mic is disabled. Using the mic and non- audio at the same time is completely impossible.

This is the result of design decisions dating back to the origins of Bluetooth.
Basically, you had to choose between two audio profiles:
- a one-way one, intended for general-purpose audio
- a two-way one intended for telephony, but limited to 8 kHz sample rate and mono audio
In 1999/2000, with the constraints of the day (limited radio bandwidth, limited processing power, and telephone signals being low-quality in the first place), this was not entirely unreasonable.
But Bluetooth being the poster child of a "designed by committee" standard, in the quarter of a century since, getting everyone to agree and transition to something that's better went just as well as you can imagine. And so, here we are.

@Zerosquare preferably something that works, and is not Bluetooth. But I repeat myself.

Interestingly, with the same headphones:
- Paired with my phone, I can leave my phone sitting in the house and walk out in the backyard, almost all they way to my shed, probably ~10 meters, before I start losing audio.
- Paired with my laptop, I can't walk to the other side of the room, 3 or 4 meters, before the audio starts dropping out, or even less if I go around the corner into another room so there's a wall in the way.

That's been a limitation with Bluetooth since inception. Devices that support using the Mic with decent-quality Headphones are usually hacking.
Edit: I should learn at some point.

Yes, that's the spec standard.

That's because they deprioritized the 2.4GHz antenna design.
I personally get better range with a Real antenna connected on my desktop, but the receiving device also has to have a decent antenna too.
