I just bought a new PC, based on Lenovo Legion gaming desktop. It comes with 2 USB port in the front, 4 regular USB port in the back + 1 USB-C port. That’s a total of 7 USB slots.

It’s been like 2 decades that every possible hardware device comes with an USB interface. Keyboard, mouse, joystick, hard-drive, memory stick, headset, webcam, spot/photo camera, and many others.

Of course it’s my fault, I should have thought about USB connectors when shopping for a new PC and check before buying. but seriously, 7 USB slots is so few compared to all the device I have using USB

    Bluetooth is pretty much useless for peripherals and I’d never trust it.

    Cloud storage is slow, expensive and small. External drives are still significantly cheaper per GB than cloud storage.

      I think my keyboard and mouse use Bluetooth 5 and they have been rock solid.

      While I use cloud for automatic phone and picture backups just because it’s built in to the OS, all manual and PC backups are to NAS via RJ45.

      I suppose it depends on your needs but a NAS/external with the smallest disk you can find would take a while to pay for itself if you compare it to a 99p a month cloud storage package.
