Bad sound quality in CS:GO and Minecraft
cn flag

I recently switched from Windows to Kubuntu 21.04. The sound quality is good in everything except Minecraft and CS:GO. It sounds kind of like it was coming from a tin can, if you know what I mean. I have the SteelSeries Arctis Pro headset. How could I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

I work for a company that doesn't support Linux. That said, we have an Ubuntu server in our department for a digital asset management system that I configured. (I'm not a pro Ubuntu user but would consider myself an intermediate.) Until recently it was running Linux Mint starting with 18.2 and had been upgraded to 19.1. But the DAM has gotten sluggish over the years so I rebuilt it with Ubuntu Server 20 ...

pp2p clients cannot connect to VPN via Ubuntu Server 20.04 gateway, even with disabled firewall

Consider a simple configuration: local network connected to Internet via server A with Ubuntu Server 20.04, acting as a gateway/firewall/dhcp server. Now, some internal hosts (say, B) need to connect to an external VPN server C. There is no problem connecting to server C with pptp directly from our gateway A, but all of the internal hosts such as B fail to connect. Googling through similar issues, I  ...

Firefox 91 "invisible" to screen sharing (Google Meet, Zoom, Slack etc)

I'm on Ubuntu 21.04 and ever since Firefox 91 came out, I've lost the ability to share a Firefox window on all screen sharing applications.

  • The Firefox window simply isn't listed in the set of available windows to share, and
  • If I try sharing the entire screen then the Firefox window either appears completely black (Meet, Slack), or initially appears as a background on Zoom with the caveat that as soon ...

Ubuntu 21.04 Bluetooth Soundbar Yamaha ATS-1080 won't auto-connect

I cannot get my Bluetooth soundbar to auto-connect, so I have to manually connect it every time. Also, in the Gnome Bluetooth Settings I have to click connect twice, the first time, it just immediately goes back to Disconnected like it didn't even try.

I've already enabled AutoEnable and make sure pulseaudio has the load-module thingy I've already trusted my soundbars MAC address

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
