 On my stupid 2020 MPBs network issues.  Requests timing out. ugh. No reboot fixed, and i didnt want to factory reset. so i had to delete the following: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist  /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist  /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and reboot. weird but worked.

 On the failing Macbookpro usb ports: my 2020 MBPs USB ports love to stop working. It doesnt happen very often but geez when it does is it ever annyoing. The second port will conk out and you can barley use it AT ALL. i shut down the mac forcefully by holding the powerkey for 10 seconds, plugged in the charger into port 2, and kept holding the power button to get into recovery mode, then rebooted into normal macos. Then it worked. Very strange.
