I would wait until the next package updates for the broadcom packages(b43|bcmwl|broadcom) are available and once they are install all the updates. I'm getting the idea it's a problem with the new version of one of those broadcom packages since it happened after you updates yesterday.
 
i still have the old update iso but i didnt want to reinstall everything like wine steam proton and all of this stuff :/

It's not about the iso but about one of the old packages, I did try if I could locate them on the iso but couldn't find them. I don't have anymore ideas so I would wait for the next update of those packages, can you share the output of the following.
Code:
sudo dmesg | egrep egrep "b43|bcm|broadcom"
