  • The Paradox of Blackmarket Wired Bluetooth Apple Headphones

    Jump

  • I got second-hand annoyance for the people standing behind this guy in line while he argues with the clerks and tries to flex his "computer science degree", only to be proved wrong again and again. Is there a techbro equivalent to a Karen?

    I mean he's not wrong, wired bluetooth earphones are a weird thing! But I'm getting huge Redditor vibes off this dude and I mean that in the worst possible way

  • Can Linux be dual booted on a computer with Windows?

    Jump

  • Nice to know about the clock fix, I'll give that a try. I've actually done the bluetooth pairing method before but the problem is it's a pretty fragile fix - sometimes it just stops working and then I've got to go through the whole process again. Easier to just re-pair whenever I switch OSes

    Jump

  • I do this every day and the only problems I have is that it throws off Windows' system clock (requiring a manual re-sync) and I have to re-pair my bluetooth headphones every time

  • Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users

  • So absurd. My i5-6600K apparently didn't make the cut either. Sure it's almost 10 years old now but it runs W10 just fine. Thank god for Linux Mint.

  • He was actually being too optimistic, how depressing

  • What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

    Jump

  • Same thing happened to me! I was on Ubuntu, trying to replace pulse and when it got removed instantly kicked me to the terminal. Eventually I fixed it but now I also just Mint, lol

  • A few years ago I was having obscure audio problems on Ubuntu so I tried replacing pulseaudio with pipewire. I was feeling pretty cocky with using the package manager so I tried

    sudo apt install pipewire

    Installed successfully, realized nothing changed, figured maybe I had to get rid of pulseaudio to make it stick.

    sudo apt remove pulseaudio

    Just two commands. Instant black screen, PC reboots into the terminal interface. No GUI. Rebooting again just brings me back to the terminal.

    I fixed it eventually, but I'm really not very computer literate despite using Linux, so I was sweating bullets for a minute that I might have bricked it irreversibly or something.

  • Which terminal emulator do you use?

  • whatever comes with the distro I'm using this month
