So my wife owns a 2017 Kia Niro and I have a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq. The cars have the same drive train and the infotainment systems and controls are similar but there are small differences between the two of them. For one both cars have dials for controlling the temperature but my Ioniq has a dedicated display for the temperature while the Niro only has a display overlay that appears when you adjust it.

Just always thought it was odd to have a physical control for something but then relegate the display for that control to a pop up on the touch screen.

So back when the electrical grid was being created it was basically impossible to step up and down DC. So it had to be distributed at the voltage it was used at. AC could be stepped up and and down with transformers which reduces losses. Now though that we have the circuitry to step up and down DC fairly easily you can actually get more efficient long distance transmission with DC due to not having to factor in things such as skin effect. I don't think things will change quickly but I do believe we will be seeing more DC systems in the home and workplace in the future since it will also mesh with renewables better.

I have the MX Master 2S as well. Recently my keyboard started getting flaky on me and I got the MX keys to go along with it and it is fabulous. I switch in between machines fairly often and the buttons to switch between computers are a life saver.

CVEs mean that a company can take action to mitigate a vulnerability. Wireguard is not mature enough to have something like that. A known vulnerability is bad, but not nearly as bad as an unknown vulnerability.

This is not a knock on Wireguard, I use wireguard and love it. It just has several hoops to jump through before it is ready for widespread adoption. Like NIST approving it to be used instead of IPsec or OpenVPN.

I am mostly talking about in a business setting. WireGuard hasn't even hit its first "official release". A company is not going to switch to something that has not been thoroughly vetted. Also a lot is going to have to wait on vendor support, like incorporating WireGuard into something like Cisco AnyConnect.

While I don't believe WireGuard is a drop in replacement for IPsec tunnels or OpenVPN I think it is a great solution to add a VPN tunnel back to your home network. I am running a WireGuard server on an Unraid server and it was trivial to setup and I can easily hit near gigabit speeds through it.
