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...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.

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.
