My money is on Putin knowing that his war is not winnable, but not being able to save face internally by admitting as such. If he can poke the bear enough with incursions into NATO countries like the last few days though, he might be able to draw NATO into direct conflict, at which point a withdrawal/surrender can be sold as “We were attacked by the big bad NATO and had to consolidate our local defenses” rather than a defeat by what should have been an inferior force.

Eh, it’s one of those perpetual rivalry things where the answer will probably never be known, and doesn’t really matter except when it comes to petty squabbles between nations.

That answers my question. If the USB dongle never disconnects from the machine, then I wouldn’t expect anything to show in dmesg, as the ‘sleep mode’ is likely occurring downstream of the USB dongle.

Are there any config utilities that came with it? Failing that, maybe wireshark the dongle and see if there is any sort of sleep/wake signal being passed back through to the host machine?

No I don’t.

The best way to learn it, is to set yourself a goal/problem, define as best as possible how many unique issues that problem can be broken into, then start solving them one-by-one, periodically stopping to evaluate how they fit together.

Learning the best languages and structures to use will come as result of this.

^^ that person first though.

To clarify, you have a dongle paired with this keyboard permanently attached to the machine?

This is a very broad question, the answer to which will almost definitely be “yes, but”, so knowing what you are trying to achieve would be helpful.

You don’t. Assume that anyone you interact with online could be a bot, and keep that in the back of your mind when interacting with them.

Given how terrible the amazon search functionality is, I don’t see how this would work. There is an overwhelming number of products available there, so it is easy to find what you’re after eventually, but in my experience, the only way to actually find a specific product is with an external search engine.

My normal search pattern goes something like: pricespy/digikey/RS/mouser > if not available, or too expensive> aliexpress > if too much to sift through > google shopping > (this is where amazon links live)
