Yeah that’s why I switched too. AMD is not perfect either but, lesser of two evils it felt like.

The same second? I agree. But even two seconds should be plenty to notice the light is green and begin accelerating. By second four, I’m giving you a gentle honk because I suspect you are either on your phone, or zoned out.

Oh I didn’t buy from a scalper. Well, not a third party scalper, to preempt the comments saying retail is scalping as well.

Right now I’m using OneDrive because I have a decent chunk of storage that comes with my family office 365 plan. However, I am hoping to not renew that plan when it comes due, and I’m not yet sure what other provider I’m going to switch to, so this is mostly an unhelpful answer lol.

Automatic backups of my most precious data. Photos, project work, important documents. Some are backed up weekly and some monthly but all automatic. Archived onto a separate partition, copied to external HDD, and then uploaded to cloud storage.

I’ll confess, I’m part of the problem. I bought a 9070XT above MSRP.

Because wearing a gentleman’s hat is free

Guilty as charged.

Edited to add, this is actually a slightly old picture. I have a white GPU now.

Wonder if this is similarly true on Linux platforms.

That’s a generational upgrade according to some companies these days.

Damn that’s a lot.

This person backs up.

Such as username and password?

I do run some servers, but use robust passwords.

So how would a bad actor start a remote session on my Linux pc?

Edited to add, downvoted for trying to learn is a new one for me.

By chaining legitimate services such as udisks loop-mounts and PAM/environment quirks, attackers who own any active GUI or SSH session can vault across polkit’s allow_active trust zone and emerge as root in seconds.

I recognize a few of those words.

To anyone with Linux gaming experience, how is gog gaming on Linux? I’m aware of Lutris, but is it quite as seamless as Steam?

This was the solution, thank you!

Voicemeteer also seems to be a mystery to y’all.

I don’t appreciate your condescending tone, tbh. If you are not interested in helping us, you can stop replying.

Voicemeteer was taking our two mics and turning them into a single source that we could then feed to Discord and OBS. That should be it. I’m not completely sure it wasn’t applying some other kind of filters, but I don’t think it was, that’s not what it’s supposed to do. So let’s say we have Mic Source 1 and Mic Source 2. Voicemeteer took the input from both of those and combined them into Combined Source. We then pointed OBS and Discord to use Combined Source. That’s all we’re trying to achieve on Linux right now.

Krisp is a feature of Discord. It is available on Linux. We have used this post to accomplish what we want to do with Discord, but this solution does not work for OBS. On Discord, others on call do not report hearing this echo effect. It only appears in OBS recording when we use Mic Source 1 and Mic Source 2. I am not convinced that Krisp is a factor here, as we have tested with it off, but I felt it was worth mentioning. It seems to have confused the situation though.

(reposting this in a higher comment for other people to potentially see)

Y’all need carpet on the floors, maybe something on the walls, and to be facing each other from across the table with cardiod mics.

The room is not professionally treated for sound, but we do have one wall (behind the mics) 90% covered with 2" sound dampening foam. Lots of stuff on the other walls, rugs, etc. It is not a bare-bones room. Our mics are good quality cardioid mics and while our setups are not 180° back-to-back, the mics point away from each other when in use. I don’t know if I can explain well enough with words, but we sit side-by-side with the mics between us on arms. They swing down between us, stretch out towards us, and point away from each other. They are about 1.5 to 2 feet apart from each other, pointed away, when in use.
