I've had this problem since I got the new computer and I can't find a fix to save my soul. All the stuff I read online didn't work, and most other options are for windows 10. I found one thing that says realtek drivers tie your audio jacks together by default and to turn that off, but there's no audio driver manager I can find to do so. What do I do, where do I go?

It's a Lenovo Legion with only one audio jack, and my headphones have the 4 ring 3.5mm jack.

This post comes up every so often, and every time either I, or someone else, reminds people that one of the Bible's biggest stories is that of Jesus washing Mary Magdalene's feet. Mary Magdalene was a "street walker" at the time, which is old times speak for hooker, thus making him a feet guy

Aww man, I like using sodastream. Is there an alternative that isn't directly tied to an apartheid state committing genocide?

My family and I were going through my grandmother's apartment after her passing to get her estate in order. After all was said and done, I got a bunch of alcohol she had for guests mostly, including two types of whiskey (scotch and regular), some gin, and three flavors of vodka. I tried some of the Crown Royal and it didn't taste too good. Also didn't taste like the last glass of whiskey I had before. Of course I always hear about stuff aged 4 years or 12 years etc. so I wonder if it's a "gone bad" thing or a me thing.

to add insult to injury, this site's reportedly a scam that may not even send you the dumpster fire coin you ordered

On the past 2 PCs I had, if I used earbuds I had to turn the volume down to 20% at the LOUDEST. Often times I had to go to 10% or lower to not utterly blow my eardrums out. Yet when I use regular headphones, 40% is an okay volume. I don't know if that's a problem specifically for Realtek audio drivers or the earbuds themselves. Is there a way to change this so I can have earbuds be quiter at louder volumes?

Now, I never created an onlyfans account, but today I got two emails from them: one asking to confirm an email account, and one confirming its cancellation. Was that a hack going around or just bad luck on my end? I already changed passwords and everything, just wondering if anyone else had a problem like this.

I have a lot of tshirts from companies I used to work for, but I don't wear them anymore. I was going to give them away, but I'm worried random people wearing work uniforms might cause problems down the line. Some are construction companies, which I'm not too worried about, but the retail shirts are my concern. Is there a way to remove the text on them so they're just regular solid colored shirts? I want to say the logos are screenprinted but I don't think they were, and I can't remember the name of any other printing processes that aren't just stitching them in.

aside from what everyone else said, they killed the beloved Unreal Tournament series, which is a huge sour spot for older gamers who fondly remember those. Then there's the excessive microtransaction demand inside Fortnite, a game with a large playerbase under the age of 18. That alone led to two major lawsuits that they both lost

A charity I'm volunteering for and a contractor I know insist I have a facebook account for contact reasons. Naturally I bought a separate device to use for that, but I was wondering if there were ways to make my data undesirable to potential buyers. So far I got the obvious tiennamen square posting and that gay putin pic, but I was wondering what else I could do

is it a formatting step that an image goes through when uploaded? I'm tired of converting image after image back into jpg, so if there's like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp, it would help to know

12ft.io

if you see an article online but it asks for a subscription before you can read it, you can put the webpage of that article in 12ft.io and it'll give you a version you can read without such guards. The person who made it says there's a special code in those sites that doesn't block the article for search engines, as doing so would cause the google/bing/etc to block that result. So they just found that code and put it in a webpage for you

aside from the obvious "rich people exploiting the environment with their hippy party that costs $200 for their cheapest tickets," I saw a video online that brought up a good point that I never considered. The cost of lumber has increased exponentially in the past 3 years alone, jumping to nearly $1700 per 1000 feet at its peak in 2021, but staying between $400 and $600 per 1000 feet in recent months (still high compared to say 10 years ago.) And these people are buying tens of thousands of feet of lumber solely to burn it away in the middle of nowhere where there's little vegetation to absorb the excess CO2 waste. That, along with the climate change protesters being police brutalized just before the event, really puts a sour taste in people's mouths. Especially in a time where "once in a lifetime" weather events seem to be back-to-back.
