#What could cause dns resolution to work (or maybe it's cached?) but pings timing out?

Ipconfig shows dhcp is at least somewhat working

Not all IP addresses will return ping results if they point to a networking device that blocks such requests, like a server, firewall, or load balancer.

#

I can ping GitHub.com from Western Canada, but the DNS resolves to a different IP for me. This is normal for services that distribute computing across multiple regions for a variety of performance & reliability reasons.

#

The IP in your screenshots appears to be within Microsoft's IP ranges (they own github) but does not respond to ping requests for me, so I'd say it's configured to block such requests.

i also can't seem to access github from edge

it is rather weird that github specifically seems to be wonky

Try changing your DNS records to Google's or CloudFlare's - that might reveal a problem with your existing DNS records. Although I'd try other devices on the same internet connection first, then try using a cellular data connection. You're essentially trying to narrow down the culprit by changing 1 variable at a time.
