Ah yes. There’s actually quite a lot of jokes that feel more controversial in retrospect but yeah that one’s pretty bad

Which one is that one?

How many of these data wheels will the machine be able to use?

The cynic in me says maybe your coworker was just taking their time

Yeah just tried it again now.

I deleted the partition again first, then when I got to the installer, it had created a new 50GB partition and mounted /var/crash and /var/log which can’t be unmounted (tried force unmount and all that jazz)

I recently tried this for the first time for my grandad on an old dying laptop of his which was struggling to run at any speed.

During the install it had already messed with the hard drive partitions in order to run the live environment, which is a big no-no for me.

The whole point of the live environment is it shouldn’t change the system until you try to install!

It also meant I no longer had a free partition to install to anymore so I couldn’t even get through the installer since I also couldn’t resize etc. because the partition was in use.

Been using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux for about 20 years and never seen this issue until Pop! OS

Sounds like a band name

It says right in your first link that it doesn’t support self signed certs

I don’t know whether you have the same issue but I got stuck on the EULA page because there’s a birth date selector behind it and they made both modal. The date picker is active but the EULA is on top so you can’t do anything. Tried in both Firefox & Chrome.

The solution for me was to just go back to the store page while signed in, choose a conforming birthdate and then the EULA page worked normally.

Checkout page is just badly written

I bet you are great fun at parties

Interesting, I had a similar experience at the start and couldn’t work out why everyone was praising it so much. Maybe I’ll give it another go

An alternative for people who don’t know what Google is… obviously

I think this is kind of the opposite of what OP was asking about.

What “perks” did people create for themselves?

The thing about USB C dongles is that some contain their own DAC and others don’t.

The former is already universal so what you’re asking for exists but these are generally more expensive and the quality may not be as good as a pass through adapter if your phone has its own built-in.

On a different point about streaming to multiple devices, my phone (Realme) has a feature to use both the jack and Bluetooth headphones simultaneously which is great for the sharing use case without a splitter.

Would be great if it also supported multiple Bluetooth audio simultaneously.
