    I'm not sure what you mean by the universal availability of the email. It has the same deploy/configure/security issues any other tool has. It's even worse, because you can send em…

    It somehow works with dedicated USB dongles that are size of a penny. Look at Jabra Evolve 65T. From my perspective as a customer it's an issue with Bluetooth standard, not hardwar…

    You are trying to replace in-person meetings without using cameras? It scales pretty well to a reasonable amount of people. How many people do you need in a meeting? If you have me…
