He could have tried to fight the order, that’s what the previous management used to do.

From a quick search it seems that the mobo uses a Realtek audio chip, which is probably the actual problem. My current system build uses one and it barely worked under Windows, it’d randomly remap the channels, sometimes it just wouldn’t come up properly (Showed as only a microphone, etc.), had lots of static noise, would constantly think I was unplugging and replugging headphones in, etc. Just a terrible experience compared to the Intel audio system the build before this used.

As much as “just buy another bit of hardware” is an awful bit of advice, I’d recommend getting a USB DAC/soundcard, I bought a cheap soundblaster one and it fixed all my problems. USB audio is a well-defined standardised protocol that’s supported by just about everything, does away with any driver issues or incompatibilities, can be moved between devices, etc. Mine’s a “gaming” model so it’s just a USB port on one side and a headset jack on the other, but you can also get ones with proper inbuilt amplifiers to run full speaker kits, etc.

Syngenta has consistently denied any link between paraquat and Parkinson’s, pointing to regulatory reviews in the U.S., Australia and Japan that found no evidence of causality.

Well I don’t know about the US or Japan, but I can trust my government to do the right thing.

The chief executive confirmed the science underpinning the regulator’s decision rests largely on an earlier report prepared for the APVMA in 2016, which also assessed mice studies linking paraquat to Parkinson’s disease.

That report acknowledged Dr Cory-Slechta and her co-authors’ findings from 2002 that paraquat caused hallmarks of Parkinson’s in mice that were injected with the chemical.

But the 2016 report’s authors ultimately dismissed those findings, on the basis that an unpublished paper, funded by Syngenta, could not reproduce them.

Oh…

Yeah, the days of end users installing their own OS is in the past, PCs are appliances for most people now.

Yeah I think they’re generally regarded as a mistake, browsers have removed all the UI signifying an EV cert these days.

I wish the tooling around Secure Scuttlebutt wasn’t so annoying to use, more attention might have had some of the rough edges filed off.

On one hand you can have an offline first replication method (Phones syncing messages over bluetooth, etc.), but then you can’t post from multiple devices without moving your account between them.

It’s also not a progressive JPEG either.
