I know you are looking for new but I know in my ThinkPad T480 the wireless card can be easily removed. It's not that old, 2018. Still runs modern Linux wonderfully...and is well supported. It would be more than enough to do what you wanted. EBay is a good place to find them.
Dude I know you get down voted a lot but you are probably my most favorite person on this platform. Always love to come across a Lost My Mind comment. Never know what to expect but im probably going to fucking laugh.
It used to be that they would not leave packages unattended at a residence, they would leave a note on the door about an attempted delivery. I suppose with the rise of online shopping things had to change. I don't see American delivery companies bothering with trying to contact you/retrying deliveries, they just want to get out as many packages as possible... and there is a LOT they have to deliver in a day.
You do have a lot of choices in how you want your items delivered depending on the delivery company. Most of the have apps/websites where you can choose to have them hold the package, or deliver it to a specific location on property. By default packages will be left at the door.
Personally I have never had a problem with porch pirates, and if a package is expensive or important I will have the delivery company hold it and pick it up there.
Looks pretty toast to me but I guess you could try opening it up if you haven't already and making sure the cable is plugged in all the way on both ends and not damaged. If fiddling with that has any effect at all then try replacing the cable.
Someone I know had a laptop that would pull it's cable out from the motherboard over time just by opening/closing the lid! (HP iirc)
Good ol Maddox! I probably discovered his site in the very early 2000s when I was really beginning to surf the net. I know I read every piece, his main site hasn't changed a bit.
An old favorite I always come back to. Found another lower quality image on Yandex image search but no artist was listed, so I am going to say artist is unknown.
