The mic being active or not doesn't affect her hearing. If he interrupts her she'd still hear it, only the TV audience wouldn't, so she'd seem flustered.

They're not valid, they're excuses which are provably wrong. Samsung will currently sell you a phone with a jack which is ip68 waterproof, has a milspec durability rating and it costs a whopping €250. So clearly the jack is not a design limitation in any of those ways.

Sadly, I reckon about 2/3 of Android phones no longer have a jack, or close to 100% of flagship models.

Well the most annoying issue is that BT headphones work perfectly well with a phone or laptop that has the jack, it's not an either/or situation. So they were only removed to make you have to spend $200. The arguments about cost, durability or waterproofing are all nonsense.

I'm only willing to buy a phone that has the jack, it reduces the selection, but I'm not willing to compromise on that. And someone gifted me some airpods recently (pro 2). Tried them out and they were ok I guess, but they also had too many downsides, so they sit on a shelf now. It's not a good enough alternative for me.

Games are already horifically inefficient

That's so far from the truth, it hurts me to read it. Games are one of the most optimised programs you can run on your computer. Just think about it, it's a application rendering an entire imaginary world every dozen milliseconds. Compare it to anything else you run, like say slack or teams, which makes your CPU sweat just to notify you about a new message.

That's just embarrassing.

With 30% ownership it could have been at the forefront of generative AI, which OpenAI released to the world in 2022.

Do they think openai invented the concept of generative ai, because that's what their statement implies?

You can hide chat and you'll barely even notice it's online. And I don't see how it's grindy - in fact they made the base game so easy your companion can kill everyone for you.

If you just play the base game content from 2011, it's 8 completely voice acted stories that are interconnected into one big story. And it's free.

The first panel ruined it for me as well, though. It's meant to be political allegory, sure, but the first panel just makes it bad history instead.

It's not that uncharacteristic. Mono is a fully open source project they didn't create, didn't really work on, and one they can't extract any value from. So this is basically a gesture that doesn't cost them anything, but at the same time it doesn't do much except generate a headline.
