If you use such a thing on a regular kind of meeting that happens over zoom or similar, your arm will atrophy and fall off from having to hold that thing for the duration.

The only remedy I see is to give everyone such a contraption and make it mandatory.

love the hangup part. so, i can finally "rage quit" the meeting that discusses 99th revision of a doc where a comma should be added here or there.

pkill -9 -f '(chrome|firefox)' is my rage quit, it's like hanging up but hitting the keys on the keyboard as hard as you'd throw the phone down

This would be an excellent way to make sure the standup stays terse, we could even put lead weights in the handsets to further increase this virtue.
