    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.

      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
