"I... I was just asking why my WiFi driver isn't working."

You jest but it's because you chose a manufacturer that made a closed-source driver minefield and the volunteer paramedics haven't been able to get to you yet.

Luckily we don't need to be quite so diligent with the choice of wifi chips as we used to. Too many still have binary blob drivers from the manufacturer

Since I had it handy, here's the source meme for the uninitiated: An edited picture of an early reader book. A young man is leaning over the open hood of a car, gesturing with his offhand, facing the viewer. The title of the book has been edited to say "Everything I don't like is WOKE" and the subtitle is "A book for basic dickheads". Text over the young man says "This engine is woke".
