       There are few things I hate more in life than trying to figure out why Windows 10 is randomly muting a microphone.Every @#%@##^#@ time the weather is bad and the kids co-op does online meetings instead of in person classes, at least 1 of the laptops just WON'T LET THE @#%@#%#ing Microphone WORK.If they didn't need them, I would sledgehammer the $#!t out of them.

       @DaddyO Your kids school uses Winblows? Our school uses the ChemoBook.

       @RandomDeamon Homeschool.  It's my own old laptops that they use for these zoom meetings.

       @DaddyO Oh okay. So then it’s just a Winblows issue. I find it amazing that it works at all.I was just talking with my wife last night about what a disaster Winblows 11 is and we were debating just how badly Microsoft needs to mess up to be replaced in the corporate world.

       @CattleBaron Yeah, after this class is finished I'm going to have to go through and delete everything and reinstall drivers and all that BS.  It's one of those things that shows how shitty Windows is - one of the most basic of tasks (use a microphone) is absurdly difficult.

       @DaddyO You don't know this yet, but in the future Microsoft executives and their progeny are hunted down for sport, with spears tipped with the sharpened, rage-shattered remnants of hardware once running Windows. The tips are poisoned with the toxic, dead remnants of the sentient sludge birthed from the AI wars. Ironically in the end humanity was saved from extension by the AI equivalent of a BSOD when an undocumented plugin expired.
