This is great

Empathy and curiosity

I don’t know if Musk has enough money to make Dutton look competent…

I would have thought the logs would share more than that.

The weird Linux function aside, sounds there’s something in the intkb that’s toast. There seems to be a firmware update for that kB, have you tried updating that (or rolling it back)?

That’s bizarre, I’m surprised Linux is unable to deal with the disconnected internal kB, what’s the systemd error before it packs it in?

You should be able to boot with the intkb disconnected to failure then switch off, reconnect the intkb, boot normally then use jounald to see the last boot logs.

When it boots to windows with only the extkb connected, does the extkB still fail following sleep?

I take it that’s with the built in keyboard still connected?

Well, the next step is ripping out the keyboard, it would be interesting to see if it boots and works fine with the internal kB disconnected and an external kB connected. That is, is it something on the keyboard that’s screwing with the USB or is it the USB itself. I once had a laptop (I think it was actually a Lenovo) that you could remove the keyboard from the top with a small probe, not so common these days. The mb should come off relatively easy. You could replace your thermal pastes while you’ve got everything dismantled.

I have never and will never go to one … also I’m Australian so that’s pretty easy for me … also your country is a shit show, sort your shit out

No I meant draining the battery completely, you should be able to achieve the same result by disconnecting the battery if it’s in an accessible location

Yeah

Oof that topical stuff is pretty scary, there was a study a few years ago that showed if you applied it to a dog and the dog went swimming before it had been absorbed then it nuked all the small living things in the water and covered a huge area.

Tried this?

I’m not sure supplements are ever fun … but they can help with getting enough protein if you’re lifting or an additional energy boost via creatine … protein powder can taste nice but you need to watch out for macros if it’s too delicious, I’ve never had a nice creatine.

Or by fun do you mean preworkouts? I think there’s limits to preworkout value when what you really need for workout energy are easily digestible carbs over caffine or other cruft.

Yeah, they’re gonna delete those messages …

So anti Muslim tattoo and a Nazi tattoo … seems like a real nice guy, also smart, making well thought out decisions, totally leadership material. He’s just oozing merit …

Yeah you can’t run off a bad diet, you do need to make sure you are getting enough protein aligned with your goals, and some fats, but outside of that, you just need to eat less than you burn.

Running might help increase the deficit a bit, or give you some extra food, but you’re probably going to struggle to cover thousands of additional calories.

Yeah the others don’t seem like they would be the solution. Have you tried a USB keyboard? Not as a permanent solution, but more to see if other keyboards do it too.

Is the laptop still in warranty? If so, take it back, if not then maybe see if you can source a replacement keyboard. Might be annoying to replace depending on the chassis but probably easier than replacing the whole mainboard.

How does the cable connecting the keyboard to mainboard look? Have you tried reseating it? Is it running through any pinch points?

Are there any “switch off USB to conserve power” settings in the BIOS?

Hegseth really looks like he’s been getting into Don Jrs marching powder stash …
