25 years ago the first thing I would have done would have been to look for answers in books, computer magazines etc. 10 years ago, I would have googled it. Even 2 years ago I would have googled it. For the last two years, there have been such an avalanche of problems that I have to think of other possibilities beyond those discussed on the thread. See, the keyboard has been working perfectly for months. It was working perfectly yesterday and again whole day after reinstall. Problems pop up suddenly and then they often go away for no reason, even without changing BIOS etc. If it was about just one device, I would still google it. As a matter of fact (don't put that in quotes in the reply) I still do daily for various problems. That's how I installed Mullvad, the first time I have installed it. For the last two years (or somewhat more), the same kind of problems appear on all devices that I use: feature phone, Android smartphone, iPhone, iPad, Macbook, Windows laptop, Linux laptop, Qubes OS laptop.

Perhaps the message is just "Remove" (hardware?), as you suggested. It's a pretty bleak scenario, if you look at it in general, not as a developer or niche user. Room temperature is a whole different story by itself. There are many stories linked to it.
