Many client apps don't even offer the option.

I mean, if you like knowing what your machine is doing, Arch is one of the best options.

Programmer moment.

Accidentally flashed a live image (PCBSD, IIRC) onto my 1TB external HDD instead of the thumb drive. Lost years of collected music and movies that night. I learned two things:

1. Don't do this sort of thing in the middle of the night, when you're tired and should be sleeping.
2. dd is nicknamed 'disk destroyer' for good reason.

But why would you post a screenshot of the gallery displaying the photo if you can just upload the photo?

It's a pain to get anything but MacOS to run on those damn things.

Nothing and everything. The trick is knowing which is which.

Edit: I see someone couldn't tell the difference.

On the other hand, it's not like anybody does.

You can either try to contact the seller and ask for the password or just erase the UEFI settings by shorting some jumper or something. There should be instructions how to do that for your specific model.

Imagine being too stupid to properly hold your phone.

No way that could ever go sideways… 🤦

Why the /s? It's true!

If it happened on Windows it would be. Currently it's a driver issue.

Hey. I'm an unhappy owner of an ALC4080, too. I have issues with the microphone on mine. I don't recall output issues. But I vaguely remember having issues with the sample rate. 48k was iffy, no matter what but once I told pipewire to use 44.1k that resolved itself.

Brother's cannelloni?
Sister's orzo?

What a poor attempt at trolling.

Not quite. The truth is what the facts are based on.
Take the speed of light in vacuum, for example. We don't know its true value. We have measured it repeatedly, to high precision, using various different methods. Those measurements are or facts. Based on those facts we estimate the speed of light in vacuum to be 299,792,458 m/s. We are quite confident that this value is at least very close to the truth, sure to how many measurements we made and how close they're bunched together.
But if in the future more precise measurements suggest that it's in fact closer to 299,792,458.135 m/s then we'll learn that we've been less correct before.

Also it's time for a new sign.

When the model in your head mirrors the observation. That's truth.

That conclusion is unsupported. Only the facts are truth.
When your mental model matches your observations and makes accurate predictions about expected values for observations that indicates that your model is at least close to the truth.

However if you control the observations, you have to be careful not to introduce a bias. For example you might be tempted not to make certain observations that would falsify your model. Or you might be tempted to not make observations that would require you to expand your model. But in both cases you admit your model doesn't match reality and what good is it at that point?
