[03:10] <Ricardus> The ML12 build is almost done. Because everyone needs 4 more channels of API preamps.  https://imagebin.ca/v/6fpNzAFVeEDS
[04:38] <OvenWerks> Ricardus: very pretty. In my case I would have to get micophones to match but as I recall I think you also built those?
[04:39] <Ricardus> OvenWerks, I have built mics, yes. But what mics to match? What do you mean by match?
[04:40] <OvenWerks> Ricardus: some thing better than my AT2020 or sm58 clones
[04:40] <OvenWerks> Though I do have a cheap but reasonably natural sounding ribbon mic
[04:41] <Ricardus> OvenWerks, ahhh I see. 
[04:46] <OvenWerks> Ricardus: did you assemble the little daughter boards as well?
[04:47]  * OvenWerks eyes are getting beyond being able to do that any more
[04:50] <Ricardus> OvenWerks, the little boards with the solder joints facing up? Yes. I assembled every PCB you see.
[04:51] <OvenWerks> Like I said: Idon't do it no more but I used to could
[04:51] <OvenWerks> Good job
[05:35] <Ricardus> OvenWerks, discrete opamps are the smallest thing I solder. Those are the little square boards sitting on the channel cards. They're about 1 inch by 1 inch
[05:37] <OvenWerks> Ricardus: thats about what they look. I know on some amps they are plugin units that can be changed out depending on use
[05:49] <Ricardus> OvenWerks, I have special reading glasses for soldering
[05:49] <OvenWerks> I use reading glasses and a maginfier
[05:49] <OvenWerks> *magnifier
[16:40] <Iamthehuman1> My "Windows"-key works fine, except that pressing it to invoke the start menu does not work. By "works fine" I mean that if I press it and a cursor key then the expected thing happen. Where could the problem be and can I fix this somehow? I'm on US 22.04
[16:42] <Iamthehuman1> My system should be clean now, I have not started the reinstalled Windows 11 after installing the US and that should be safe too because it was installed with a clean account. That or I have this zero software sploit or something as bad or worse https://securelist.com/moonbounce-the-dark-side-of-uefi-firmware/105468/ 
[16:43] <Iamthehuman1> or maybe some setting somewhere is slightly wrong and the start menu could be made to open by pressing the "Windows"-key. 
[16:45] <Iamthehuman1> So question is: How can I fix my US so that the start-menu and associated speed search will appear when I press the "Windows"-key, thanks
[16:55] <Eickmeyer> Iamthehuman1: Sometimes you just need to reassign Alt-F1 to it and it comes back. I'm not sure why this happens, it just does.
[16:55] <Eickmeyer> Right-click the launcher, select "Configure Application Launcher"
[16:55] <Eickmeyer> Select "Keyboard Shortcut"
[16:55] <Eickmeyer> Assign it "Alt-F1"
[16:56] <Eickmeyer> Apply, OK, Profit.
[16:59] <Eickmeyer> KDE is hardcoded to treat a tap of the super key as an alias to Alt-F1.
[16:59] <Iamthehuman1> Thank you Eickmeyer. That indeed solved the issue
[17:01] <Eickmeyer> An alternative is alt-space, which does a macOS Spotlight-like feature called Krunner.
[17:02] <Iamthehuman1> yeah, I heard that came a few releases back
[17:03] <Eickmeyer> It's been a part of Plasma for well over a decade.
[17:04] <Iamthehuman1> Some color problems with some emails in Evolution, but I know that is Gnome software so not everything is perfect, but I just started LibreOffice for the first time and it has icons with graphics in black on dark grey background. What could I do to alleviate these?
[17:17] <Eickmeyer> Iamthehuman1: Try going into system settings and switching the colors back and forth and see what happens, then reopen libreoffice.
