Look at Norton pricing also!!! Several years ago the "automatically renewed" without my consent at an outrageous price (3 times for the same product on Amazon), along with a 2 year subscription costing online $ 110 while a one year subsciption costs $ 50..... Bye bye Norton....

What can one expect from a science-denying president?

The past four yours where surely the worst to expect any government funding for this, and to make matters worse it is in Puerto Rico. Wait----who is the President of Puerto Rico? I guess he found out during the paper towel giveaway!

I have flagged hundreds of these demented conpiracy theorists to FB over the past few weeks, but apparently they do nothing to take them down. The only action that I have seen on their part is against somebody looking for partners to raid and torch a tower. Very sick!

High-resolution display output or Wi-Fi: It seems you can only choose one on Raspberry Pi 4

It appears that the issue is due to RF interference from the HDMI ports. Those HDMI ports can generate some nasty harmonics at high bitrates that can swamp out the WiFi signal, this is confirmed also by the fact that the issue is less severe the 5GHz band where these harmonics are at lower levels. The only fix would probably be a proper board component layout, hoping also that they adopt a full-sized HDMI port in the future.
