I'd recommend AirVPN. Here's why I'd recommend them, in their own words:
No traffic limit. No time limit.
No maximum speed limit, it depends only on the server load
Every protocol is welcome, including p2p. Forwarded ports and DDNS to optimize your software.
The two situations are different. In your situation, your presence or absence in the lunch room didn't directly affect other children. Unvaccinated children can put every other child in the school at risk. Vaccines sometimes don't take effect, and some children cannot be vaccinated due to other medical conditions. We need a very high percentage to receive vaccines to achieve herd immunity. If too many parents refuse to vaccinate then the only way to maintain herd immunity is to remove the unvaccinated from the herd. That's what this does. It's not about punishing the unvaccinated, it's about protecting everyone else.
Not the person you replied to, but I'm in agreement with them. I did tech hiring for some years for junior roles, and it was quite common to see applicants with a complete alphabet soup of certifications. More often than not, these cert-heavy applicants would show a complete lack of ability to apply that knowledge. For example they might have a network cert of some kind, yet were unable to competently answer a basic hypothetical like "what steps would you take to diagnose a network connection issue?" I suspect a lot of these applicants crammed for their many certifications, memorized known answers to typical questions, but never actually made any effort to put the knowledge to work. There's nothing inherently wrong with certifications, but from past experience I'm always wary when I see a CV that's heavy on certs but light on experience (which could be work experience or school or personal projects).
I also unplugged the psu for a while. It makes a slight buzzy noise after powering the computer, but I do not know if this is normal.
I'd recommend starting with the PSU. A buzzing noise is not a good sign. This article has details on how you can test your PSU: https://www.howtogeek.com/172933/how-can-i-test-my-computers-power-supply/
You can perform a basic test with just a paper clip or a bit of 16 or 18 gauge wire.
It sounds like the PSU is giving some power, given that the keyboard lights up. The issue could be isolated to one or more rails, e.g. it's not delivering anything / enough on the 12V or 3.3V rail. I'm guessing 5V is OK since that's USB voltage and your USB keyboard gets power. You'd need a multimeter to check individual power pins on the PSU connector.
Edit: if you have access to a second PC, you can swap PSUs between them. If the problem follows the PSU then that's the faulty component. If the problem stays with the original PC then it's likely motherboard, CPU or RAM.
If you can determine that the PSU is OK then the next step is to try booting with the bare minimum amount of hardware. That's motherboard, CPU and one stick of RAM. If that won't boot then you try with a different RAM. If it still won't boot then the issue is motherboard or CPU. Before you replace either of those expensive components, try replacing the cheap CMOS battery as another poster recommended.
That's just what happens to CEOs of publicly traded companies when they have a bad year. And Intel had a really bad year in 2024. I'm certainly hoping that their GPUs become serious competition for AMD and Nvidia, because consumers win when there's robust competition. I don't think Pat's ousting had anything to do with GPUs though. The vast majority of Intel's revenue comes from CPU sales and the news there was mostly bad in 2024. The Arrow Lake launch was mostly a flop, there were all sorts of revelations about overvolting and corrosion issues in Raptor Lake (13th and 14th gen Intel Core) CPUs, broadly speaking Intel is getting spanked by AMD in the enthusiast market and AMD has also just recently taken the lead in datacenter CPU sales. Intel maintains a strong lead in corporate desktop and laptop sales, but the overall trend for their CPU business is quite negative.
One of Intel's historical strength was their vertical integration, they designed and manufactured the CPUs. However Intel lost the tech lead to TSMC quite a while ago. One of Pat's big early announcements was "IDM 2.0" ("Integrated Device Manufacturing 2.0"), which was supposed to address those problems and beef up Intel's ability to keep pace with TSMC. It suffered a lot of delays, and Intel had to outsource all Arrow Lake manufacturing to TSMC in an effort to keep pace with AMD. I'd argue that's the main reason Pat got turfed. He took a big swing to get Intel's integrated design and manufacturing strategy back on track, and for the most part did not succeed.
Being a private company has allowed Valve to take some really big swings. Steam Deck is paying off handsomely, but it came after the relative failure of the Steam Controller, Steam Link and Steam Machines. With their software business stable, they can allow themselves to take big risks on the hardware side, learn what does and doesn't work, then try again. At a publically traded company, CEO Gabe Newell probably gets forced out long before they get to the Steam Deck.
Looks like we may soon be getting more things to buy using samples and requisition slips. The Catalog Expansion has no cost, and buying it does nothing. The Upgrade Effect text must be null for Catalog Expansion, that field just shows the effect for whichever upgrade was previously selected.
Edit: It's been acknowledged on the official Discord, looks like it's unintended:
ALERT: ROGUE ITEM DETECTED. The Ministry of Truth has confirmation that a rogue item called the "catalog expansion" is temporarily visible in the Ship Management menu and, in accordance with regulations, we instruct all Helldivers to avoid this rogue item until further notice. The Ministry of Truth cannot confirm the reliability or safety of this item, nor can they confirm its origin.
I switched to AirVPN about 6 months ago and I've been really happy with the service. Was previously using NordVPN, which was fine, but I was looking for a VPN provider that offered port forwarding and AirVPN does that. I don't have hard stats on this, but I do feel that having access to port forwarding has improved my overall torrent speeds since switching.
