European countries becoming more capable of defending themselves by scaling up their own military instead of being dependent on a foreign power will only harden containment of bad actors. That applies to my country Canada. What's much

I use mouse/keyboard primarily and never noticed an issue even with bluetooth. I don't play multiplayer so wifi is not a factor in latency. I do have a USB wireless dongle for my xbox controller which apparently is faster than blu

most of the usecase is going to be keyboard, mouse, and bluetooth headset dongles. All three of mine attached to my Steam Deck dock are USB-A. although I own a bunch of those usb-a->c attachments you plug on the end, so it wouldnt make m

I learn new framework/language features all the time from Claude generated code. It's hard for anyone to keep up with every new version or evolution in best practices.
