Hey y'all, so we have Intel NUC desktops with Dell speaker soundbars connected over USB to the computers, and headphones connected over 3.5 MM to the speaker since the NUC no longer has a headphone jack. Every other audio source works fine, except JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion. Even with volume at 100%, both system and JAWS, the JAWS volume is still low. Someone with both headphones in could hear it fine, but if like me and students here they have one ear out for surroundings, it can be hard to hear in a classroom environment. With no headphones plugged in, JAWS comes out loud over the speakers too.
I've tried the same headphones on two computers, restarting, updating JAWS and fusion, Windows 11 is up-to-date. The only thing that worked was working around the issue by using USB headphones. Does anyone have any other ideas? Please boost for reach.

Please choose from the two contemporary design styles for your wifi hardware: “rounded soft box with white light” or “satanic death cult blood sacrifice altar”

I can’t believe I’m having to write this but please don’t let Elon Musk anywhere near your brain.
@sdw I'm still stuck in the "cuboid box good" phase of being able to stack my stuff up.
somewhat miffed that my ras-pi argonone case has a non-flat top :/
rounded stuff is okay, but takes up a lot of space.
alien-probe style is a major risk of breakage for me, unless I can bolt it on a wall or top-shelf it :(
@mattround gmail pointed me at that for troubleshooting, got the domain enrolled etc fine, but never any data at all. can't imagine the fun of trying to funnel actual mass emails through it :/
@mattround wait, you can see results in postmaster? damnit, I've had someone getting dinged for gmail spam for a while now, but the couple of outbound mails at gmail "weren't enough to generate any info or stats" for postmaster tools. swore a bit when I fixed it by adding in a dns dkim entry that by standards wasn't needed, but it shut up gmail anyway...
(yes, it's always DNS, even when you've followed the rules, because sometimes somewhere just wants a bit extra for funsies)

Chatting with The Teenager's teacher.
Teacher: So, I'm not always convinced they're paying attention. There seems to be a lot of doodling going on.
Me: Wha...? Well, I have no idea where... doodling? Really?
*ahem*

Working on a project which splits into 100 equal parts, so I have this constant tally of how far through I am. It's quite weird. Not usually doing anything quite so quantifiable.
Anyhow. 20%.
Have a Snout Snuffler family snapshot to celebrate.

isolate light fitting from mains electricity before action and beware of hot fittings causing steam-related issues
@stavvers @esvrld@octodon.social overhead lighting?
have you never worked in an office with suspiciously stained light fittings and just figured someone upset the cleaners into action?

Ambiguity. Just after dawn in the Pennines. A combination of light and space and landscape when everything is fluid and uncertain.
