bh flag

Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit does not detect a USB WiFi adapter that according to the packaging is supposed to work for Linux. Windows 10 picks it up straight away.

WIFI Model: COMFAST CF-826F

With a working internet connection by tethering, ethernet or whatever means possible, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git dkms linux-headers-generic
git clone https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8192fu-dkms
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192fu-dkms
sudo dkms build rtl8192fu/5.8.6.2
sudo dkms install rtl8192fu/5.8.6.2

It builds with a few possibly harmless warnings on my 21.10 system. Reboot.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
