Be helpful

Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.

Critique should be constructive

We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.

This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.

Don't post malicious "advice"

It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.

Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.

No personal attacks

Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.

No hate speech

Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

FYI - mouse and keyboard can be on usb2 with no issues. It doesn’t really matter tho, unless you’re taking a usb3.0 slot that could be used by another device which does consume that bandwidth.

Lol thanks, the reason I googled it was because when I connected a hard drive to the usbc port next to the usb2 port that had the usb dongle my mouse would randomly cut off at times. This doesnt happen when its connected via bluetooth so I figured there was like a signal jam occurring from the usb port being next to the usb c port or the fact its a usb2 port.

ah damn that sucks, my usb ports are blue or red (3.1 or 3.2) I guess I'll try to disconnect my hard drive when I'm not using it

Assuming that you've got a dongle for that wireless mouse, I think you could get a usb extension cable and simply get the receiver away from the computer and hard drive.

Came here out of curiosity to see if someone knew about the domain ownership thing and got some knowledge instead. I’ve had some weird behavior with my Bluetooth / WiFi card not being very consistent and it’s probably because my antenna is literally on top of an external hard drive plugged in via usb3.0.

Maybe its a placeholder, trying to get you to "aspire" to domain ownership, as well as having that domain stand out.

They don't know all that they want to know about you for ad-serving, so until something sticks, they'll make shit up. Browsing with even slight anonymity makes it apparent how much google didn't so much buy DoubleClick, as become DoubleClick, as this is a strategy DoubleClick "perfected", if not invented.

i didn't mention CrowdSupply or ever google it though and I installed the OS yesterday. I wonder if many CrowdSupply employees use Pop_OS from their office or logged in to their business account so google now thinks any Pop_OS user is a CrowdSupply employee lol
