Dynamic recompilation technology?

I enjoyed it but not as much as I expected to. It feels simpler and more accessible than Root. I've heard it described as a trick taking 4X game, but I don't think either of those are very accurate. There's really no exploration happening so at best it's a 3X game and the trick taking barely feels like trick taking, it's something else entirely.
It's a very mean game since you can attack and steal from other players and they can't really do anything about it, because the aggressor is the only one that has any agency in combat.
It also requires players to balance the game. If one player is left unchecked they will run away with the points, similar to in Root.
The card play is the most unique and interesting part of the game. You definitely use your brain but in a way that I haven't seen before.
I'm not a big fan of the map. It's very abstract and sometimes feels like you are moving ships across the face of a clock than across star systems.
I need to give it a few more plays, but so far I like Root and Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy more.
I blasted ahead with 19 points in the first two chapters, which lead to everyone ganging up on me. Managed to squeek out a second place finish though.

There are a couple cards that lead to more direct interaction, like The Fool, but otherwise it's indirect blocking and card denial. There are other cards that allow you to gift cards to other players which can clog up their hand sometimes if they had other plans.
We played with the Legends, Through the Seasons, Corrin Evertail, and Extra Extra! mini expansions. I haven't played with the bigger expansions very much, but these little modules definitely make the base game a lot more interesting without adding too much more complexity.

Vance was definitely the kid in grade school that plucked and ate the hair of the girl who sat in front of him. I wonder if she's okay.

So I actually bought the f(x)tech Pro^1x thinking that it was going to be great having a physical keyboard that slides out again. But I found that I rarely actually used it. Using it required that the screen be in landscape mode. I'm actually much happier just using a different touch keyboard layout. I use Thumb-Key specifically now. It took some time to retrain my brain but I quite enjoy it.

I have an LG-38WN95C monitor which has a single Thunderbolt 3 port, which I use for my work M1 Macbook Pro. It's really convenient to have a single cable running from my laptop to my monitor. But is it possible to achieve something similar with a full desktop PC? My PC has discrete graphics and a motherboard with no video-capable Thunderbolt output. I was thinking of using a Thunderbolt hub, but most of them look like they are for use cases where the Thunderbolt cable plugs into the host machine, and then the monitor and peripherals branch off from the hub using DisplayPort / HDMI and USB. But I want to do the reverse for the video signal. I want the hub's Thunderbolt cable plugged into my monitor, with the hub's DisplayPort link used as an input, not an output, which is passed to the monitor. I feel like Thunderbolt's bi-directional-ness and daisy-chainability should mean this is possible, but I have little experience using Thunderbolt and I find it difficult to understand what hardware is capable of what behaviors. And with Thunderbolt hubs as expensive as they are, I am hesitant to drop significant money on a blind experiment.

Years ago, Brother printers seemed to be one of the few feasible options. What's the printer landscape like today? Are there any plug and play options that aren't part of some ink scam?
