It was only a difference in the store names. They were sold at Radio Shack stores in US. Tandy, originally a leather company, bought Radio Shack in the 60s).

Residential proxies are too prevalent for IP address limits to work effectively.

For better or for worse, Mupdf has a more restrictive license (AGPL VS Apache).

There is a noise canceling mode that let's you hear what is received by the microphone array and an option to "filter in voices while suppressing noise" (they call that voice passthrough). That section of the app is called "Ambient Sound Control" if that helps your research.

It is genre specific, but you can find amateur LitRPG authors on royalroad.com

I am one of those users who doesn't quite know who to support. I absolutely support the end users generating and consuming the content. There are seemingly regular examples of both, admin and mods abusing these users.

What kind of mod tools do the apps allow that Reddit does not?

I do not know if these are mod tools I would agree are necessary (e.g. bans for repeated spam) or are these tools that I would agree allow mods to abuse their power (e.g. ban users are who mere followers of other subreddits).

Frankly, I fear unofficial mod tools could lead to much worse problems if at least portions of the API are not carefully rate limited. Here I include pricing as a type of rate limiting and this could be Reddit's attempt at reeling in this abuse (even if only for IPO reasons). A particular egregious example of such an abuse would be to download all new users' history of posts to make a race determination and ban a new user because of that. Sure, a mod could do this manually using Reddit's UI, but it would remain more difficult to automate this on a large-scale.

My Amplifi wifi started working with my Steam Deck when I lowered the 5 GHz frequency to 20MHz (I was otherwise stuck working around the issue by using a slower 2.4 GHz SSID).

The non-local places around the USA will take your card when starting a tab and many automatically add gratuity if you walk out without closing it (unsure if they place credit holds based on each order). At venues like concert arenas you may not see this, but I always suspected it was more due to the logistical challenge arising from people all wanting to leave at the same time.

It looks like Medicare spending was also included to arrive at $1.5T. A portion of "veteran's benefits" should probably also be included for the VA medical system.

I don't know how new it is, but Teams has a lecture-hall view option that displays more than 9 people.

Android version 10 or over uses randomized MAC adresses by default, as well.

I believe it was a failure by USB-IF to not require that USB-C ports and cables be labeled or color-coded as to what standard(s) they support. As a consumer you are lucky if the manufacturer provides accurate speed or wattage specifications to allow you to decode this information on your own.

There are now more store-wide sales available ("Fall Sales" and whatnot). While at the developer's choice a game may have the same retail and sale price at different stores, since the sale dates are different, I the consumer am more likely to find and buy the game at the lower sale price. If you the consumer only want to purchase from one store it is still your choice to wait (just like timed exclusives).

Others have complained about Steam's lack of curation causing discoverability problems. It was at the height of this controversy that Epic launched their store promising better curation. Again, this helps consumers because not all consumers are alike. Some consumers do not want arbitrary moral decisions to block game availability, while others want this so that they do not have to wade through "garbage". Others, still, want to make that decision for all consumers.
