I can only imagine the scenario... lay person: See? Even though i turn the volume up on my speaker, there's no noise during our zoom/Teams call, etc. tech support: oh, i see the problem...you've somehow disabled your audio.

Oh, if you wouldn't mind sharing, that would be greatly appreciated! For set up of my machine(s), I was going to go the route of using a bash or python script...but when i learned (a high level summary) of ansible, figured that might b

The concept is great, and compared to other companies, i trust duckduckgo more...but, there still a for-profit company (nothing wrong with that)...so how will they sustain this? Maybe i'm not so smart with funding models, but i would

Although i'm very much a fanboy of the matrix protocol, i really wish Apple and other big players would at least consider something like matrix...That is, a protocol that is secure, extendible, but still universal enough to be federate
