Ubuntu 22.10 RTL8821CE no longer shows up in additional drivers

Today I upgraded to 22.10. I know it is kind of a rash decision. I should've waited longer. But this purged my WI-fi driver(RTL8821CE) and now it doesn't show up in the additional drivers like in 22.04, so I don't have Wi-fi connection. I'm using my phone's USB thetering.

Slow to type login password
br flag

When I initially start Ubuntu I have to hold down each key for about 1 second to type in the password. Just touching the keys as normal has no effect. This behavior does not persist if I logout and login again.

I believe this behavior first occurred after installing and tinkering with powertop. Any ideas where to start looking to rectify this?

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
