This was originally published to the Technically Working podcast. See the notes below: TW107: Mute Buttons, Mishaps, and Mental Replays In this episode, Damashe uncovers a hidden switch that finally makes his mute button work the way he wants—after months of assuming he needed to rewire it. Meanwhile, Michael shares a chaotic behind-the-scenes story from an in-person board meeting, complete with misbehaving audio gear, last-minute fixes, and some DIY mix-minus routing.
The two dive into:
- Why assumptions and leading questions can steer you wrong—even with AI.
- Lessons learned from a tough live audio setup and the temptation to beat yourself up over tech failures.
- Creative ideas for talkback communication systems using Shokz, Zello, and even FaceTime Audio.
- Android experiments: Michael’s iMessage-on-Pixel attempts, thoughts on BlueBubbles, and the appeal of the Pixel 9.
- VM cleanup strategies and the case for consolidating multiple virtual machines into one solid Windows environment.
- Decisions around Google Workspace vs. DIY setups for small teams—and why simplicity may win.
