Sure, but the claim that "Apple only implemented USB-C due to pressure from the EU." is simply ridiculous.
Apple implemented USB-C at a steady pace across their entire product lineup, as is demonstrated by the timeline below:
2015: 12in MacBook with USB-C released
2016: MacBook pro switches to USB-C
2018: iPad Pro switches to USB-C
2020: iPad Air switches to USB-C
2021: iPad Mini switches to USB-C
2022: iPad switches to USB-C
2023: iPhone switches to USB-C
If Apple only implemented USB-C because of pressure from the EU, you'd presumably be able to see a gap in that list during the period of Apple allegedly not implementing USB-C. There is no gap, because Apple was steadily moving users to USB-C since 2015.
It feels really silly to be spending time defending Apple over this, but the EU certainly does not deserve credit for iPhones having USB-C. I'm sure there are politicians who'd love for you to believe that, but it's simply dishonest propaganda.
I just got a R36s retro handheld console for 31€ (US$35) including a 64GB microSD and shipping from Aliexpress. Apparently sometimes you can get it for as low as $25. It has a IPS instead of a eINK screen, but the CPU, RAM, Storage, battery etc. are as good or better as any ereader, so it is possible to get a tech device for way less than $80-100. But I guess it won't count as mainstream and nobody should expect support. It relies on open-source software (ArkOS) and ships pirated roms of abandoned game consoles, so there is no option for the manufacturer (unknown) to earn more after the sale.
The code for the verifier contract and the chain signatures smart contract is under "Learn More" in the page. I think I will update the design for them to make them clearer in case people miss them.
Interesting, might be useful as a backup connection.
Currently I am using https://silent.link since several years and I am very happy with that. For 5$ you get a eSim without any time limit and roaming in almost all networks in almost all countries. You just pay for ever MB of data a reasonable amount (not as cheap as local options, but not bad either). This is perfect as a backup eSim for traveling, even just in my own country because I can roam in all three available networks. You can only pay with Bitcoin/Lightning but it works great since 3 years or so. This is just so much better than all those travel sims which only work for 30 days in only one country...
The captcha on https://app.ahrefs.com/user/forgot-password from your video works fine for me with both Firefox and Chrome on Ubuntu. Do you use any fancy JavaScript blocking plugins?
How come Linux doesn't have this issue? Why did Microsoft had to fix TCP with the RACK-TLP RFC when both Linux and MacOS implementations did fine already?
It's called R(ecent) Acknowledgement and yes the work came out of Google. This is the single biggest change to TCP loss recovery in a decade. It is now a Standards Track RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8985. The Windows implementation was one of the earliest amongst a handful and Microsoft participated in the standardization.
Besides of open source software development I'd propose envolvment in Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap. Both are kind of welcoming communities where you can easily spent a full time equivalent of work in. In most bigger cities in the world there are (used to be before Covid) regular meetups in real live and it really feels as a useful service to the world or local community. Or maybe local wireless communication networks are a thing in your area (like Freifunk)?
