... why does your keyboard appear to have a gnss module?

Do you have multiple NIC? I sporadically run into issues where traffic will try to route itself via a secondary network which has limited external access and it is resolved in a similar manner, by bringing down all networks, then re-starting them in a specific order.

Realistically I should probably define some static routes, but it works automatically 99% of the time so I never bother.

If this sounds like a possible cause, check your routes while in failed, and functional states, and set static routes as needed to resolve.

My money is on Putin knowing that his war is not winnable, but not being able to save face internally by admitting as such. If he can poke the bear enough with incursions into NATO countries like the last few days though, he might be able to draw NATO into direct conflict, at which point a withdrawal/surrender can be sold as "We were attacked by the big bad NATO and had to consolidate our local defenses" rather than a defeat by what should have been an inferior force.

No I don't.

Many but not all will have a 'total TBW' metric, but that is more of a 'how many write cycles can this theoretically last' metric. What I am predominantly interested in is "how many TB can be written before sporadic write delays start occurring"

^^ that person first though.

The thing that is always painfully missing from any benchmark, is an endurance test.

I want to know how many TB I can write consecutively before the disk starts to degrade in performance and stop being useful. So far the only way I have been able to achieve this is to purchase a couple of every disk and stress them until failure, logging that interval, and selecting the winners for usage.

I do not care about how fast it can write over the course of five minutes, I want to know how fast it can write over the course of five hours continuous usage.

This is a very broad question, the answer to which will almost definitely be "yes, but", so knowing what you are trying to achieve would be helpful.

You don't. Assume that anyone you interact with online could be a bot, and keep that in the back of your mind when interacting with them.

To get a step deeper into your "how can a machine draw a circle" question. Mostly it can't. Even with an open-loop control system dragging the 'pen' at a fixed angle, you would need to have defined that curve in software somewhere, where it will be a barely-noticable set of X-Y steps, not a pure curve, otherwise you cannot be sure it would return to the origin.

Luckily, you only need a few decimals of pi to approximate that far beyond what any human eye could discern.

Break any digitally defined curve down far enough and you will see those discrete steps, but with modern technology, we just never notice it.

It can be both. Traditionally is was a 'war dance', but depending on the lyrics and context it can be used as welcoming, a farewell, or many such things. You would have to translate it to know.
