So if plugging a dirty USB device into your computer can potentially infect the hard drives, can it reach a locked but plugged in external drive? Specifically, I keep my personal and sensitive documents on a couple Samsung T5/T7's that are always plugged into my computer which I try to keep...

What in seven hells does a washing machine need wifi for??

My 4080 FE has about 1/4" clearance in my Fractal Meshify case, which is not exactly a tiny case.. lol. But honestly I love the beefy coolers. The thing runs about 65c tops.

I use VRR religiously on my desktop system (screen tearing is my bane, latency be damned) but after over a year of owning a steam deck, and hundreds of hours logged on it, I have never seen a screen tear or felt the need for VRR. If you use it with an external display it might be a different...

You mean vs all the "real" tangible pixels? It's just a new and different tech and achieves excellent results. At least DLSS does, FSR doesn't tend to look at as good.

Plus the mod community is going to make this a whole'nother experience by next year. I'm definitely waiting for all the patches and mods.
