  • Maybe a stupid idea, but try manually selecting the SSD in boot menu. I don’t trust UEFI/BIOS to do what it’s supposed to after finding out that HP UEFI simply wipes all boot entries after booting an external drive.

    I tried switching to the Nvidia drivers but all I got was a black screen.

    That does sound familiar from when I used GeForce 8600M GT laptop. Nouveau mostly worked, but the official NVidia driver did this. What worked was switching to an old kernel, Linux 5.4 on that thing. But I don’t like this “solution”.



  • Some areas may even rely on LTE.

    1-3Mbps vs 30-50Mbps is quite a bit of difference.

    It also depends on how oversold the links are. I could easily take guaranteed gigabit and sell it to 2 homes as “Up to 1Gbps”. Or 5 homes. How many people would be using the full bandwidth 24/7 anyway. But it can also be far less reasonable. I can sell it as “Up to x” to as many as I want to. Sure, you may only be getting less than 100Mbps now, but if others stopped using the internet… It’s still validly “Up to 1Gbps”. Maybe you’ll get it, one day, or night.

    If you don’t have an SLA, you’ll just have to deal with it.
