      @Grey Ooh nice! I imagine if they are worn out then it will really affect sound quality.

      Sort of? Mostly they're just firmer against my head so they're blocking more noise. The ear cup replacement was just the foam/leatherette part, so no electronics.

        Playing with new Microsoft 365 updates, and by playing I mean troubleshooting silly user issues. Got one user trying to use the new dictation feature adn I do not think they understand it will not be a perfect copy.

        I've used that and the biggest barrier is a good mic with no ambient noise.

            We used to deploy mics similar to https://shop.nuance.com/store/nuanceus/en_US/Content/pbPage.speech-mike for the radiologists to use with Dragon. If your users are on a laptop mic or anything less than a boom mic (I switch from my 8200 to my Plantronics Focus UC for this reason), then the sound quality is too low.

            Be sure to run through the speech learning process.

                    Yeah, all the stats in the world only do so much good if it only gives half of the picture.

                      On their blog they said there was issue giving incorrect results for very fast connections so they disabled it temporarily.

                          Started realizing (aside from what everyone has told me about my job) how drained I am after working, and how much I don't really enjoy this.

                            Start training yourself for development if your still interested in that. Actually you should always be doing that as it gives you more options if you become tired of present role and just makes you more valuable. Rarely is there a downside to learning too much.

                              What you do is a HUGE part of your life. 25-40% of your time. If you don't love it, get out and find something that makes you happy. Whether it's a different company, job, career, location - it's one of the most important things in life to figure out. It's such a huge part of your life, don't let it be something that doesn't make you happy.

                                I know what you mean, but you can be knocked back at job interviews because you're over qualified / over experienced.
                                That's happened to me in the past, it annoyed me, but I never felt disappointed because of it.

                                  That's bad logic, though. That can happen for any perceived reason. The more experience and skill you have, the more YOU control the narrative. You can always not mention experience that you have, but you would have to lie to make up experience that you don't have.

                                    No, not always. I recently went for a project management role.

                                    I could tell I had more experience than the person who was in charge of the group and who was doing the interviews, if for no other reason than I was probably close to 20 years older than he.

                                    I was unsuccessful and since found out who got the role.

                                    I'm fairly sure I was knocked back because the manager of the group suspected that dealing with me due to the level and length of my experience may just have been too awkward.

                                    In that interview I was more professional and personable than any of the other interviewers, with the exception of one, who was closer to my age group.

                                    I wasn't the type they were looking for & there was nothing I could do to change that.

                                            Switch choices.
                                            48 port "Core" switch, VLAN routing (L3 capable) 10GB Base-T
                                            Going to be replacing a 7 year old Cisco Catalyst 3560 1GB switch.

                                            What's peoples "Go to" Manufacturer for switches? I normally go Netgear.
