The issue is that even the same brand can have multiple USB fingerprint scanners, which may not all work.
From a 4y old reddit thread some person found a fingerprint scanner which worked, but some other person who had a similar one didn't get it ot work.

Well you see, there is a reason I'm on windows, because I can't use Linux for what I need, unless... Maybe you want to do a commit on the Linux kernel and amd driver to enhance the libVF.IO compatibility for recent amd gpus? Oh and don't forget commits on overwolf for Linux/wine support and some other things too hmm?
Currently florisboard doesn't have prediction nor autocorrect prediction.
Due to complications in the development of that feature (either too heavy to run or not smart enough for prediction...) and the development of the app got stuck, until maybe recently where it seems to get some dev attraction on some topics.
Tho the prediction is still stuck. So you won't have yet prediction or smart things in this keyboard.
Most intel driver news you'll see will most certainly be about the ARC gpus. The integrated gpus not beeing that much worked on for performance and gaming.
Currently, there are some alternatives, or bluetooth versions which work pretty well.
Often wireless gaming brands offer a usb dongle. That dongle often uses a proprietary protocol over 2.4ghz. And allow enough bandwidth for audio and mic. Some brand give more or less bandwidth to the mic, or have better compression, or bandwidth.
And currently, there is a fairly "new", already here since bt 5.3 : LC3. It's a very well optimised protocol which allows for about the same quality at lower bandwidth than other protocol. It also has lower latency. This protocol has started to be used by gaming brands, like Creative, in a usb dongle. Or even in standalone headphones. On the Creative headset, it would allow enough bandwidth for audio and mic without much compromise (like if it wad a proprietary dongle).
Obviously the quality may not be as good as wired. But it should be enough for most people.
Huawei also seems to have announced (not sure if yet released, it should be in an honor phone), their bluetooth competitor. They say 6x faster (more bandwidth I guess) https://newatlas.com/mobile-technology/nearlink-wireless-huawei/.
The battery optimisation and app prediction (loading apps into memory so they start faster).
Charging optimisation on some phones.
And maybe other things. Can depend on the brand, software and used apps.
Then maybe I can make you discover a very nice tool : Winget or chocolatey whichever you want to use. They both can be used in cli.
However, I personally like the WingetUI software. Nice looking and supports winget, chocolatey, scoop and other. It also automatically checks for updates. It can either give you a notification, or maybe even auto update. Tho I'm not sure if it would solve your complete reinstall each time.
To install wingetUI : Search for powershel > open without administrator privilege > type "winget install wingetui" > enter. Follow and read.
Once installed you ca launch it and choose the sources (I recommend selecting winget and chocolatey at least, I like winget better than chocolatey as version numbers are closer to the real one). it also auto updates on launch.
And to install it, just search for it :
You can also install though winget or chocolatey without wingetui, but you'll have to update manually through the cli.
I like Firefox mostly because it's cool to have engine competition. I mostly use the default dark theme. It looks good enough for me. I don't look much at the top when browsing.
On android it's still lagging behind the chromium competition. And having mismatched browsers isn't great for syncing. So I just use Firefox on android too, good enough.
Tho, if miss matching wasn't an issue, personally I think I would use Kiwi browser. It's an open source chromium browser which supports chrome extensions.
I have no real idea, only suppositions :
(I'm not treating Ukraine as the enemy, this is a full supposition).
The real hard part is costs and time. If the soldiers pushed the front lines, and there is no risk of enemy attacks behind the line, there can be multiple things in the way :
The terrain may not always be good for fast travel. With difficult terrains or mud and water.
And because front lines aren't perfect, there is always the risk of enemy attack behind, destroying supplies.
Now why exactly Russia did not send supplies to their soldiers, no real idea. They only know what they chose to do.
Ukraine is huge, giant. Going up to the front lines takes time and money. And well I very much guess that Russia just sent soldiers without care, maybe even now they doing that. They underestimated Ukrakne's defenses and the support they get from other countries.
I don't think you look at it from the right way.
AI is already in a lot of people's lifes and they don't even notice it's that.
From your keyboard word correction and prediction, to power management, smart image edition and categorising and more.
And some things are done locally on your phone.
The increase in AI capability on phones can allow more things to be done locally, and maybe even get something like a local LLM to predict what you want to type. (LLM = large language model, like chatgpt, bard, Llama and others, they can be used for more than just answering your questions).
Well if you can't use the router to connect to the fiber, they maybe you can do this : Fiber > isp router > ethernet > custom router > devices.
This would just add a slight negligible latency increase and maybe limit the max speed to the ethernet port, but you'll get all the benefits of the second router.
The second router having it's DHCP network with it's firewall.
Well the issue with renewable power like wind and solar, is that they are not stable.
Having a battery in order to store the energy and release it when the demand is higher than production is one part of the solution.
But what happens when there wasn't enough solar and wind to replenish the batteries if those batteries aren't enough for the demand? Power shortages, which are pretty bad to get.
One of the solutions to this is natural gas for a simple reason : it's very fast to start generating power or to stop. It's also not very expensive, at least when there isn't a war... The co2 equivalent emissions aren't as high as coal either.
Nuclear power on the other hand is very hard to stop. Having a surplus of power on the grid is also very bad. Some of it could be used to recharge the batteries, but there would be some loss at some point.
