This being a hardware issue is, while not impossible, relatively unlikely in my opinion, considering it affects more than just me (Reddit post, another Reddit post, another thread here as well as other people in this current thread). For multiple people to suffer the same kind of hardware failure all at the same time seems unlikely. I disabled the wifi connection and will see if the problem still persists, but either way it seems likely to me that there is something more to this problem.
Good tip. I checked, and saw no requests for hotspot.txt in logs going back several days.
It’s been happening about once or twice a day. I don’t know of I’ll be able to react quickly enough to curl anything. The window lingering long enough for me to screenshot it was definitely an anomaly. Usually the window just flashes very quickly and closes immediately.
Sure, but that seems like sweeping the problem under a rug. I’d prefer to fix it if possible.
