? Trades people in the US are making really good money right now, and that’s because

Look up the average age of plumbers, electricians, and welders. What happens when a body of knowledge living in the collective heads of an aging population gets removed from the labor pool faster than we can get younger folks interested in learning that information?

Wages are high right now, in part, because finding a highly experienced, capable tradesman is constrained by the available supply in a given geographic region.

ROFL. Stow the faux benevolence. It’s nonsense. Nobody is acting out of the goodness of their hearts in a capitalist transaction. They’re choosing to pollute instead of choosing to do other things. That’s not for anyone’s benefit but their own. The long-term consequences are so well-understood that only the extremely selfish are optimizing for the short-term.

China’s choice to build a national highway system instead of a national railway system wasn’t done with ecological concerns as the priority. They’re, again, choosing to pollute more purely because of the short-run benefit instead of doing something else that optimizes for humanity’s collective benefit.

So weird how the supposedly collectivist country isn’t acting in all of our best interest. Communism is an idea so good that they’ll silence you forever if you disagree.

China is still the world’s leading polluter, in a time where those so-called “scientists” most definitely know what they’re doing contributing to global climate change like they are. No country is innocent, but making no attempt to not be first isn’t a defensible policy position.

That’s an improvement over humans. Humans violate ethical constraints due to KPI pressures far more often.

This kind of problem is going to require some deep debugging of the surface kernel drivers. This isn’t going to be a simple or quick fix. Somebody is going to need to do some extensive debugging and analysis to chase down an issue like this. A solution to this problem could take a few hours, or it could take a few months of meticulous trial and error to narrow down the problem space and gather enough data to enable somebody to zero in on the problem.

If you want to dive into tracking down the problem yourself, I suggest starting with the kernel’s own docs on the driver architecture and debugging tools, etc.

They weren’t that good, just charming.

They weren’t even that charming. Just a little more able to keep their mouths shut while in front of mixed company.

Listen to how Melinda talks about her relationship with him for clues about how little actual charisma he has. She’s responsible for every bit of humanity he’s shown over the last three decades. There were interviews he gave prior to marrying her where he expressed open disdain toward humanitarian endeavors.
