WiFi connection drops regularly

sc flag

I'm using a AR93xx Wireless Network Adapter from Qualcomm and the wifi connection drops quite often. I also see Oct 29 12:06:29 blueberry kernel: [156556.470659] ath9k 0000:04:00.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT domain=0x0015 address=0xbfa73844 flags=0x0000] in logs. Is that related?

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.
