My grandfather is continually unintentionally starting group voice chats because of that ridiculous design choice.

Linux distributions do typically have the huge benefit of having a decent package manager.

Whereas on Windows, you are expected to download all your software from various websites, ridden with big green download button ads.

Well the better your beam is directed, the less lateral noise there is.

A simple 3 element yagi has <1% of the power to the sides. It has more of the power straight behind it, but still 1% or so of the main lobe.

Wired clients are unaffected.
