There have been rule changes to equipment at different levels to help counteract some of the issues with two handed bowlers, and modern bowling balls.
(Note: I bowl in leagues in the UK, so definitely not at a competitive level).
Back in August 2020 balance holes were banned by the USBC (and therefore applied internationally), which would have a greater impact on two handed bowlers - as they don't insert a thumb in the ball, it gave them the potential for two balance holes instead of one. Currently every hole drilled into the ball must be used during the release of the ball.
More recently certain competitions (PBA mostly) are restricting the use of urethane balls to ban any balls which don't meet a minimum level of hardness. This hasn't been applied at a wider level yet, although it may have an impact over time.

So things are changing, but it's mostly reactionary rule changes as new problems are being discovered.

They already do something - the oil patterns they use on the lanes is considerably different for open/league bowlers compared to competitive bowlers.
However the professional bowlers will have the skill, experience and equipment to deal with all the different oil patterns.

Sony ZV-1, Elgato Cam Link 4K, and a few other minor accessories (eg. lighting).
A huge amount of time is spent on video calls these days, and although there are more advanced webcams out there these days - a camera which is geared towards video (the ZV-1 is aimed at vlogging) will produce significantly better video for any calls you're on.
Spending a little bit of time optimising your setup so that you're the one in the call with good quality video/audio is worth it. Get a decent camera, get a good microphone, improve your background lighting.

Technically CloudFront requests to the origin server are IPv4 only, so there's still IPv4 in the stack even if the distribution has IPv6 enabled.
Personally this is one area I'd like AWS to focus on, along with load balancers listening on IPv6 only (currently it's dual stack). Every load balancer we deploy takes up at least 3 IP addresses - I'd quite happily switch them to being IPv6 only if CloudFront could access them over IPv6.

As someone learning stenography (but with a different keyboard) - try it and see, however your ability might be hindered without the right keyboard, key switches and keycaps.
I bought an ortholinear keyboard with DSA keycaps to get started, which is absolutely fine when you're chording fairly simple words, however once I reached a point where words involved chording multiple keys from the top and bottom rows - it started to become a little bit painful. After switching to F10 keycaps [1], it made a huge difference in the enjoyment of chording more advanced words.

Same here - a price increase makes you reconsider the relationship you've got with the service you're using. Companies should strongly consider leaving existing customers alone with legacy plans rather than aiming to extract as much revenue as possible.
For me Dropbox didn't do that, so instead of happily leaving our existing business account for most team members - we re-evaluated our usage of it, limited it to just a few accounts with the aim of getting rid of it entirely.
At that point it's not something you'd consider recommending it in passing to other people.

Or you do nothing wrong on your server, but another user using your mail server ends up with a compromised password, or reuses the same username/password from elsewhere as their mail login. You wake up and see thousands of outgoing emails in your mail queue, all from the spammer, followed by other users who can't send outgoing emails.
You could attempt to limit the outgoing emails per account per hour, however if that's set too low then you end up with other users who can't send out emails to their "mailing lists" consisting of hundreds of contacts, instead of using a real mailing list to manage it.
The effort just isn't worth it.

The correlation could also be the fact that you've blocked the attack, they can see that their previous attack is no longer working by testing it themselves - so they'll switch anyway, regardless of a status page update.

The feature isn't enabled by default, you'll need to set linked_clone to true:
