Normal BT drops to very low sound quality when the mic is in use, because it goes into "headset" mode. Apple got around that with an extension. Combined with the jank pairing and device switching, the difference is pretty big.
AirPods also drop audio quality severely when their mic is active, just as with Bluetooth. Apple hasn’t solved that in any way with some nefarious extension.
They still need to spend at least as much on fixing their continual quality and software problems.
Being able to communicate clearly with high signal-to-noise is essential. When hiring, I’ve learned it’s often better to take a great communicator with less experience over a poor communicator with great experience.
Cover letters can be a helpful filter for this. In my experience a pithy cover letter is better than no cover letter. But no cover letter is better than a bull shit one.
You can bet that if I smell diarrhea of the chatgpt in a cover letter, it’ll get a fast pass to the bottom of the heap if not a direct route to the reject pile.

Why are you ordering a diet Coke from McDonalds anyways? This is highly overpriced and a watered down version of what you could get at a gas station.
Can of soda $1 Fountain soda from McDonalds $3
Am I missing something?
Irrelevant, and fountain drinks are only $1 at McDonald’s anyway.
Hopefully it never comes back up!
