Okay, yeah, then it makes a little more sense. I should have clarified what I was asking you to test, because if the phone is connected to your home wifi, it's still effectively the same network and wouldn't eliminate your ISP as the source of your problem.
It sounds like Comcast is the trouble, and that's why the VPN is helping. If you run into enough sites that are either blocking VPN usage, or run slower than expected, check out the DNS alternative, as Comcast's DNS is bad.

That seems like a really odd solution to me, considering what I know about VPNs and the way you were still having the issue going through your phone's hot spot. Was your phone on your home network when you tried connecting your laptop through it, by chance?
Another thing to try, if you're curious, and since some sites will block your access with a VPN, can you try setting up an alternative DNS? I personally use Quad9 https://quad9.net/ but there others available too.

With the age of laptop, that's certainly a possibility.
Things to try if replacing the laptop isn't an option:
1. Are you able to plug into your modem/router with a network cable?
2. Check to see if Dell has updated drivers for your networking hardware in case it's that instead of hardware failure.
3. See if you can get a replacement network card or external adapter.

Also, can you take your laptop somewhere you can connect to another network? Like the library, a restaurant, or even a wifi hotspot from your iPhone if your plan includes it. Even if other devices are working on your home network without issue, there's still a chance it's your ISP.

Have you tried Firefox to see if it's having the same issue? Edge runs on the same back end as Chrome, so it doesn't necessarily rule out an issue with the browser. If it's also doing it with Firefox, then it's likely a networking or ISP issue, but if Firefox works fine, then it's a browser issue.
Once you've narrowed it down, you might also look to see if there are any local fix-it/repair cafes being run in your area? Sometimes it's easier to fix these things hands on.

In fact, they usually even told him to shut up. Maybe that's why he fucked off to become a Traveler, so he wouldn't be told to shut up anymore when he was just trying to help.

Interesting choice to have Lower Deck skip ahead of Discovery there. Do we know who made this toy?

I would love to see Discovery, Prodigy, and Lower Decks added to this tool, but it's still fun if it's just TOS-VOY

Used it to make a title card for our current plot!

Also, I've seen at least once in Trek where the roadway is covered with solar panels in canon. (You can sure tell that Star Trek is written by people who don't know San Fran weather patterns, but maybe solar panels are efficient enough to get decent power when it's foggy in the future?)
I took a picture hella years ago looking up one of the towers into the fog. I need to see if I can find the negatives or print again, or just walk it again to take a new version.

Look, I love Mariner, I really do. She's such a mood.
...but, I'm gonna respectfully disagree with her here. Maybe it's because I'm born and raised in the bay, but the Golden Gate Bridge is a work of art. Who cares if it serves it's original practical purpose anymore?

The only time it's okay to gatekeep "fake" fans is when they're right wing dipshits who've missed the whole fucking point of Star Trek.
Pass it on.

One of my favorite The Guess Who songs is Clap For The Wolfman

I'm not lucky enough to have experienced him myself on the radio, but between this song and American Graffiti, it was a joy to meet him.

Do we think IKEA still exists in the Star Trek future? Obvs with replicators and no money in the Federation, they'd be different. But like, maybe they'd have a few stores with display rooms and food court, the catalog would be a holodeck program, and fun new designs would be available to replicate to fill one's home regularly.

where's the Defiant? Did you leave it or because you know it's the best and would trample everyone else? (I know, I know, the enty stans are gonna come from me, but they can eat my block button.)

given how the Picard vote rolled in during the am in the Picard v. Sisko poll, I feel like the TNG crowd will roll in later in the morning, while DS9 is currently repping with the hasn't gone to bed yet crowd.

there, I voted from my main account. Disco has some love now.

it was hard for me to pick between Prodigy and Discovery, and seeing that no one has voted for Disco yet, I wish I'd voted for it instead of Prodigy, because both deserve all the love.

I think Jessie is spot on in her analysis of this week's episode. I literally spent the episode with a horrified WTF look on my face, laughing at the sheer stupidity of it. She did help me pinpoint why certain things made me uncomfortable, as well as drew my attention to things that I had actually missed myself. Yeah, it's an hour video, but if you didn't get why some of us responded so negatively, maybe try watching?

Employers have been sold the lie they can replace their employees with ChatGPT, so the next generation has been sold the lie that they need to get good at using it to be employable, instead of learning the skills it's supposed to replace.
Unfortunately for everyone, ChatGPT and other Slop Engines aren't going to successfully replace people they're being marketed to replace, and a whole generation is being weakened by this. Everyone's being forced to learn this the hard way.

Alt text (feel free to edit into your post):
Four panel meme featuring Data and Riker from Star Trek The Next Generation:
1st panel, Riker: "We feel a loss more intensely when it's a friend."
2nd panel, Data: "Hm..."
3rd panel, Data: "But should not the feelings run just as deep, regardless of who has died?"
4th panel, Riker: "Maybe they should, Data. Maybe if we felt any loss as keenly as we felt the death of one close to us — human history would be a lot less bloody."
