The internal microphone doesn't work on my Dell Inspiron 14 7440 running ubuntu, though it is recognized on windows and I remember it working before I reinstalled the ubuntu system. When I open sound settings, the app doesn't recognize the internal microphone:

I ran alsamixer (newest version) in the terminal and didn't see the internal microphone, this is what it looked like (this screenshot shows all devices listed in alsamixer):

I also looked at pavucontrol and the app shows the internal microphone as "unplugged":

How can I get the microphone working?

Update: I tried plugging in a headset and plugging it out. When I plugged it in 2 microphones showed up, one called "headset microphone" and the other just called "microphone", screenshot:

But when I unplugged the headset both microphones are gone, does it mean that my laptop recognizes its internal microphone when a headset is plugged in? Also when I switch to the one just called "microphone", speaking to the headset microphone doesn't make the bar move as much as patting the laptop, so the "microphone" should be the internal microphone.

I installed the newest ubuntu desktop on dell Inspiron 14 7440, and when I open a video (either mp4 or webm) with GNOME videos it looks like this in the image, showing horizontal bars.

Is this a graphics driver problem? I haven't installed any kind of driver after the ubuntu installation, and if it is a driver problem from where should I install the driver?

I'm planning to buy an Inspiron or XPS model and install Linux on it, and I'd like to run neural networks accelerated by its NPU. Are there available drivers for the NPU in these models that supports debian or ubuntu-based systems?

I downloaded the installer from cmacked.com, and cleanmymac almost immediately recognized it as malware.

The main features I want are:

• Import PDFs and annotate them in the app’s native format (so that I’ll still be able to remove previous changes after I save and re-open it)
• Quickly add text boxes anywhere on the PDF
• Draw some basic shapes and lines with different colors (can either be notability-style “draw and hold to make shape” or just a classic “insert shapes” option from the toolbar)
• Have a page thumbnail option and can search text in the PDF file and quickly go there

This bot is made to talk in anarchychess-style, which makes it great at generating memes and copypastas. It can also give humorous comments on chess gameplay (though it sometimes hallucinates).

I made it based on claude-instant because claude is better than ChatGPT at creative writing.

I just switched from firefox to librewolf and I imported the autofill passwords through a csv file, but autofill isn't working when I log into websites (the autofill option doesn't show up when I click into "enter password") and I have to manually copy the passwords from about:logins. How do I fix that?

I'm switching from firefox to librewolf on mac, and when I open the "import data" menu on librewolf I can't find the "import from firefox" option. Screenshot above.
