  • Sure but “multiplier” by 10x or 1.1x?

    IMO managers/bosses are there to take care of the anoying little things so the workers can focus on work. Workers can do all that and even organize amongst themselves (most of workers can). And there are thousands other variables. Question is of pay, so the question is of worth. IMO a manager is not always more worth then a worker, and I wonder how often one is.

    Disclaimer: I worked construction and a bit of sales, not an office job.

    Correction: 1.1x, not 0.1x.











  • Sometimes the log can be, let’s say less useful. Then I’d check the monitor cable. And if the log starts growing after suspend-resume, as that can be buggy.

    dmesg (as root or using sudo) prints out all kernel messages since boot, and can also be useful. Xorg errors are usually hardware or driver problems.

    Also if you messed with bios… Like the pcie settings.

    Not really. It’s up to the software, soundcard, and/or recording.

    Stereo headphones are surround. The reason laptop speakers are not is because they are in front of you. Headphones are one for each ear, separate.

    Our brain is very sensitive to phase difference between sound in either ear. That is how we can tell sound direction. It’s like triangulation, except the third variable is the shape of our ears (is it comming from the front or the back, see HRTF again).

    There is no such thing as surround headphones. There can not even be such a thing. All headphones are surround. It’s either sound card drivers, software in the chain, the recording itself, or just marketing. Get “normal” headphones and check out some directional audio videos on youtube.

    Openal is an audio library used by some older games and they patched HRTF into it to make it sound even more surround.

    Decent headphones that are comfortable are better then even more expensive full room setups, although just for one person.

    Edit: Funny enough the last time I explained this was to an audio engineer. Took him a bit, but he got it when I used sharks ears as an example.
