I've been complaining here about WiFi problems for some time and it's

 Is it plausible that running the "updates available" routine somehow
un-sets the WiFi region selection? The selections look unchanged, but
re-running the configuration seems to fix WiFi operation.

Interesting you should say that.
My last automatic update killed my BIND configuration and also my DVB configuration.
Or something. DVB hat disappeared until I explicitly loaded its driver using dtoverlay= etc in config.txt. I never needed that before.
I wonder if in the absence of a controlling tty, the default behaviour is to overwrite config files...

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism (or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984.”
