  • Same in Canada, and I have not moved, I live 12 miles (20km) of my working place, 90% highway. Early 2000s it took 30 minutes or less, early 10s ~40 minutes, 2019 before pandemic it was already a good 45+ minutes. 2023+ it is more than one hour (forth, and 1h back).

  • Restarting like that, it's either overheating (reaching 100°C) but you ruled out that, so low voltages, maybe some voltage on your PSU is weak, sometimes a 1.3V becoming 1.2V and it reboot.

    • How did you get out of Vim before you knew its hotkeys and commands?

    Jump

  • I guess it was in the 80s, open a new xterm, ps -edaf | grep vi, kill the process, then man vi to read how to exit properly.

    This is how I learnt unix, do a ls in /bin /usr/bin /etc, man every command
