I'm betting China already has access to the chips. This deal was thwarted, but I doubt it was the only scheme for China to acquire what they want.

That much I could believe. Greedy politicians? Practically a given. Counter-intuitive conspiracies about how re-instating a law that might give the government the power to slap a few trillion dollar ISPs on the wrist for extortion will somehow...

Ah yes, the cunning plan to reinstate the law that prevents them from exploiting us... So that they can exploit us. Pure genius that!

That's exactly how net neutrality was repealed in the first place. Reinstating it is literally the opposite of that.

Totally agree that the student loan system is broken and needs more than just reform. It needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch. Also agree that college has become too expensive. This is largely due to states contributing less and...

Yeah, I was wondering why the live usb was ok too. Should I keep going with the memtest or stop?

Ok. So I've tried rebooting using a different kernel, no dice. Tried changing run level, no dice. I probably should have tried to recover using a live distro but I chose to run memtest86+ next. So far it's gone through 14 passes and there are 10...

I appreciate the help. I will work on this more tomorrow. It's been a while since I've had to do any troubleshooting so hopefully it doesn't take me too long to get in the swing of it. Thanks again.

If it was kernel related wouldn't this have happened immediately after changing the kernel?

I've successfully booted a usb distro, but I don't have a multimeter so that'll have to wait.

I have a family member who has a computer running Manjaro. It froze up on the user; I rebooted but I keep getting a segfault error during the boot process and then it just sits there. I've reseated the RAM modules, I've rebooted with only one...
