Involuntary reboot log 10.10
Keyboard was jammed on waking from sleep, requiring a hard reset. This time the repeating started about three characters into my passphrase. Note that this happened even with Karabiner-Elements completely inactive, so this is an OS-level flaw for sure. At this point, I’m going to say, "fuck it", and disable the damn lockscreen so I at least have a way of recovering when this happens; when I am not using the machine and it is going to be out of my sight I’ll need to power it down (🤦).
