How about this
My wifes Surface Pro 4 worked perfectly yesterday
Today the type cover ( physical keyboard ) no longer works
It's not visible in Device manager
Tried rebooting
Reset to defaults ( basically re installs Win 10 )
Nada
Googling tells me thousands of people are affected by this

Sounds like a hardware problem, not Windows 10? 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

No the keyboard works on my other Surface and I've tried another keyboard on it that I know works

I've been getting lots of BSODs on my work machine since updating, updates are completely out of my control and will give me 15 minutes notice of a computer restart.

Fixed that for you. I was in the middle of working when Microsoft decided enough was enough, it's time for you to reboot and install the update. I dislike the lawyers that like to go with class action lawsuits, but I think there is merit for a suit in this case for the stupidity of the automatic reboots and lost time and code.
Honestly, based on the griping I see from surface users, I just don't understand how MS can keep selling them.

This makes me think of a book I bought when it came out, 20+ years ago - Matt Ridley: The Origins of Virtue[^]. I understand that it has since become a classic in the field.
I certainly enjoy how he starts out with very primitive simulation models, with actors of varying degrees of greediness and trust, as pure mathematical / algorithmic concepts devoid of any kind of "moral" or "politics", showing how pure greediness and egoism and distrust is most counterproductive, regardless of ethics and ideals.
Then he moves gradually up "the biological ladder", observing manifestations of the successful behaviour patterns in the primitive simulation models in higher organisms.
Ridley's book is certainly not the only one in its field, and approach. "The Selfish Gene" is a predecessor in the the same line of thought, and there are many others. But "The Origins of Virtue" is written in a fascinating, easy to read style. I really should dig it up an re-read it soon!

Ok, I'm gonna check that book out.

I experienced a serious violation of trust a few weekends ago. I thought the whole band had committed ourselves to playing a gig. I showed up, waited for an hour, called them up, and found out they were just getting loaded up. I left the gig and left the band right then and there.

 When will the ivory tower people realize that game theory has very little to do with trust.

It might have nothing to do (and I agree) but it has been used to visually explain some pretty good points in an easy way.

For a suitable definition of "trust", it has.
For other definititions, it has not.
"Trust" is about as unamibiguosly defined as "love" or "justice". Or "ivory tower".
"I trust our leader to take the country in the right direction" is quite unrelated to game theory (it may be closer related to gambling than to gaming...). Game theory is based on another definition of trust. Similar with systems for authentication and authorization. Common man's rather diffuse social / politicics / psychology based concepts of "trust" are rarely suitable for any formal processing.

I wonder how long some of these will be on the books?
Consider:
In Alaska It is illegal to be drunk - in a bar
In Chico, California it is illegal to build, own or use(!) a nuclear bomb
In Connecticut only pickles that bounce may be legally sold
In Florida it is illegal to sell your children
In Idaho (and only Idaho) is it actively illegal to practice cannibalism (unless it is “consensual consumption”
)
and many more. a large majority of these are still on the books. How long will COVID-19 laws stick around?
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

That's the second reason I will never move to Chico.
It should be illegal to make any new laws.
