Playing with the microphone/camera and related settings - lots of background noise i'm trying to see if it's going to be a problem
What camera/mic? Internal to the new laptop?
Check the mic boost levels….. what noise is it picking up.
Yea, think I finally got it figured out, but I'm doing laundry and my "office" is in the basement in the space across from the washer and dryer - and it was a lot of static -

Gotcha -
My home office is five feet from the HVAC and hot water tank... so I understand background noise. With a dual ear headset it was never an issue.. but NTG didn't do all that many video calls either. Now the State and the clinic - they are all about that fool camera... -
Was going to mow,... but Mother said - uhm no. You no mow now. ... might have gotten another quarter inch of rain.. ugh - people here are getting a tad tired of rain... and a bit antsy when it does. Eastern Kentucky town got about eleven inches.. so there has been a lot of flooding. Families could really use some of that $1.3B lottery money - and Fed/State/Local money as well.

Now the State and the clinic - they are all about that fool camera...the HVAC is on the other side of the wall - I can hear it but did a test Video call with the girlfried and she couldn't hear that
lighting is the next big thing
-
got the lighting figured out, going to be running with less lights than one would think, but it looks okay for me.
no glares in the camera, etc.when needed I can turn on extra lamps and stuff.

Updating is super fast
choco upgrade all -yGet coffee or in my case Mountain Dew and finished or mostly finished when you get back.
Why manual upgrades? There are some packages for choco to upgrade everything.
https://community.chocolatey.org/packages?q=choco+upgrade+all -
@gjacobse said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
libreoffice 5.4.4.20180111
libreoffice-fresh 7.3.4This means you have had been using chocolatey for a while, or, you didn't pay attention when it installed.
I do not know why, as I never looked into ti, but the package changed a while ago. If you use LibreOffice, you need to use
libreoffice-freshnow. You can freely removelibreoffice. -

It was an assumption, true.
But if is it not a work laptop, umm I would not be using it for work either, and you have implied this is your new "office" for your new job. Hence my assumption and confusion.

https://community.chocolatey.org/packages?q=choco+upgrade+allInitially - 'control'. Now - The office has burnt me enough that when I get home I'm just done for the day. I don't want to work on 3D Printer project, Laser projects much less dealing with anything else. A good many things have been dropped because the interest and love are no longer there. I just grind... and yes - falling a bit into the rut of - that's the way I started it,.. so that's the way I do it. Right or wrong.. I'm trying to clear off my desk so I can get to yet more more thing that has to be fixed or researched.
