The more detailed your question, the less chance for your question to get answered. If you just ask some diffuse shit about something something you might get hordes trying to pitch in in various ways, but if you properly detail everything the tumbleweeds quickly start rolling and you probably won't get much help unless you up your google skills by a couple of levels

Chromebook or Notebook? (I was seriously asked this question exactly like that just 2/3 days ago)

Clearly Ukraine giving up on its nukes in for peace agreements was a big mistake, no cunt's going to disarm in future. |

The cliché: When help desk people start out they know nothing and when they know it all, they don't want to help anymore.

Generally - the HDMI "markings" on cables are total crap now, especially since they've once again changed their definitions / requirements. When I was looking for a long cable (7,5-10m) last year I've found some test results stating that barely any cable can actually support the required bandwidth at such lengths. However - I'd guess it would show no-signal at all, instead of just dropping audio. If it works in borderless, so without HDR, then it means it's closer to hdmi 2.0 than 2.1

The difference from my 2.0 cable where i could only select 4k 60hz in windows before, i can now select 4k 120hz and it works great in windows. This no sound issue has only been elden ring so far. But i can't see anyone else complaining so it has to be something on my end.

Wherever I've asked for technical support I've ended up with people that knew basically nothing, instead just using their internal search engine and following the same old steps. What's the point of technical support when I know more than them and ask a question about something they've never even heard of...? even though it's their jobs.
It does feel extremely frustrating to only get in touch with people that know a lot less about things than I do. I HAVE been able to get directed to an actual professional when the tech support knew he was waaaaay in over his head and I could have a meaningful discussion with someone who knew what I was talking about and thus getting the issue solved promptly. Unfortunately that is a very rare thing.
I saw a meme or someone writing it in here that people who actually had the actual knowledge didn't want to work in tech support and got a better job. I sure as hell wouldn't waste my time on a low paid stressful tech support job where you had to be friendly and kind no matter what if I had the skillset to be an expert. I'd seek a position where I used my skillset for real and I guess that goes for customer support in general.

Heh, in terms of tech support - I've been recently involved in a ticket filed by my company about Microsoft Intune - which we use for mobile device management. I'm an Android developer and, in short, we need to be able to debug our own apps that are deployed on Intune so they can use MS authentication.
Basically - Google allows for that, it'a even enables by default, that you can install and debug apps manually to the work profile on your device.
However, I couldn't find anything regarding that in Intune management service, so I've sent them the line of code enabling a flag with some explanation asking if it's possible to set that in their MDM. 2 months and 2 'support engineers' plus a couple of calls later I finally got the answer - no. If I got in contact with a dev from their side I'd get the answer in 5 minutes...
