          Email 4 - Bluetooth headphones on Linux Mic Not Working
          • A2DP audio out only (high quality)
          • HSP audio out and in (low quality)

          • Check what protocols are supported by your dongle

          • Easiest way to work around this...

          • sudo apt-get install blueman

          • starting from Pulseaudio v. 11.0, it's possible to automatically switch the profile whenever microphone access is requested by the application, but it's disabled by default.

          • Find load-module module-bluetooth-policy line in /etc/pulse/default.pa

            Change it to load-module module-bluetooth-policy auto_switch=2

          • You need to reload pulseaudio module after this for the changes to take effect:

          • pulseaudio -k

            pulseaudio -D

          • Now pulseaudio will switch the device profile to HSP whenever microphone access is requested and change it back to A2DP after stream is closed.

                            CentOS is dead long live Centos Stream! CentOS Stream is a way of getting newer packages out to the community so developers have the latest and greatest, but this comes at the cost of the previous goals of CentOS. Does this increase the security of RedHat's free offering?

Along with quite a lot of new features, the announcement brings an end to the former distinction between "ZFS on Linux" and ZFS elsewhere (for example, on FreeBSD). This move has been a long time coming—the FreeBSD community laid out its side of the roadmap two years ago—but this is the release that makes it official.

                                    • — As described in this Let's Encrypt blog entry, certificates issued by Let's Encrypt will soon be signed solely by that organization's own root certificate, which is accepted by all modern browsers. There is one little catch, though: versions of Android prior to 7.1.1 (released in late 2016) do not recognize that certificate and will start throwing errors. "Currently, 66.2% of Android devices are running version 7.1 or above. The remaining 33.8% of Android devices will eventually start getting certificate errors when users visit sites that have a Let’s Encrypt certificate. In our communications with large integrators, we have found that this represents around 1-5% of traffic to their sites." There appears to be little to be done about this problem other than to encourage owners of older Android devices to install Firefox.

                                        • — The results in the table are average values over multiple runs. The standard deviation is ~0.7 seconds for the cold startups, and ~0.1 seconds for the hot startups.
                                          The use of the LZO compression offers 40-74% cold startup improvements over the XZ compression.
                                          On the Kubuntu 18.04 system, which still has Chromium available as a DEB package, the LZO-compressed snap now offers near-identical startup performance!
                                          On Fedora 32 Workstation, the LZO-compressed snap cold startup is faster than the RPM package by a rather respectable 33% (actual ~5.0 seconds difference).
                                          Hot startups are largely independent of the packaging format selection.

                                        • — The researchers behind Monday’s report, Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk, found that Facebook Messenger and Instagram were the worst offenders. As the chart below shows, both apps download and copy a linked file in its entirety—even if it’s gigabytes in size. Again, this may be a concern if the file is something the users want to keep private.

                                          System76 launches the Thelio Mega. This is the world's smallest quad-GPU workstation for deep learning and scientific computing. Matrix says "no thanks" to backdoor encryption and instead suggests a different way to combat abuse. Pine64 has a new site for their store, a type-c soldering iron, and the DOJ has filed a long awaited antitrust suit against Google.
