Dane Harrigan<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openbsd</span></a> please help. I cannot make my headphones and external mic work at the same time for video calls. I can toggle sndioctl server.device and verify both work, but I can’t figure out how to have them both. I’ve read man pages, faqs, blogs. Any guidance would be appreciated.</p>
chesheer<p>Today Microsoft suddenly revealed extensive plans to advance in a quite unexpected direction creating a special division called <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> Optimization Lab (FOOL, in short).<br>One of the key goals of the new structure would be, I quote, "to introduce FreeBSD and OpenBSD users to advanced user experience available to Windows users", such as:<br>a) Kernel-level <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Copilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Copilot</span></a> integration, that enables, for example, intelligent control over booting process and better syscalls handling leveraging power of Microsoft Azure platform;<br>b) introducing proper "Blue screen of death". <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> users are notoriously unfamiliar with such an important component of normal user experience - brace yourself, devil worshippers!<br>c) deprecating local user accounts: every BSD users knows that this age-old feature is just a relic of the past and part of huge technical debt. Now with Microsoft support they can finally get rid of it and enjoy having truly flexible and secure account system.<br>Those are just a few key goals of the new and bold initiative.<br>Surely, unexpected but, nevertheless, glad news for every BSD enjoyer out there.</p>
