Shootings in America. With the frequency, I'm almost surprised it still makes the news.

Nothing permanent that I can think of. You're probably running on mostly default settings anyway. It's a laptop so you'll likely only have one hard drive so boot order shouldn't be an issue. Only thing I can think of is if you got some kinda hardware encryption setup, but that's not likely on your typical laptop.

Acer Aspire a315-23 factory reset bios

There's a bunch of videos and guides, just need to find one that matches your computer. Usually hit a button during startup to access to BIOS and can reset from a menu there.

Terminal would be after startup, more operating system level stuff.

Yeah so there's something switching the power. It might not be entirely broken.

Could be a circuit that switches to battery power type of issue, worst case?

I reckon factory reset the BIOS. Worst case scenario you gotta set a few preferences again, best case scenario stuff starts working. Nothing to lose really.

They got what everyone wants, and they want to make sure everyone remembers that. No doubt prices will raise due to interrupted supply. China will probably benefit when they resume trade with selected countries

Is the mouse losing power when this happens? Have you tested with any other USB devices? Do they also lose power? It sorta sounds like USB power saving kicking in incorrectly but I don't know Linux enough. If all else fails maybe try something like resetting the BIOS or something?

Yeah it's interesting that sugar water is basically promoting natural pest control. Mightn't be an effective pesticide, but if the end result is still less pests, it's a win

Heh the time in the bottom left is a nice addition

In other news, piracy increases again.

Love this one

If you're sticking with that period of English comedy. Vicar of Dibley

Yeah current reality is very unreal. Never been a fan myself but at least early stuff had some true trash at its heart instead of the probably scripted junk and attention removed now.
