They make salt graters that look very similar to cheese graters. I have one I use with a big block of salt.

I’ve used youtube-dl for the better part of a year now on M1 without issues. If it didn’t work for you, then you need to look into what’s broken on your specific machine.

No, it was to coworkers. Going on eBay completed auctions, I could’ve gotten around $800-1k for similar spec / condition machines.

Trade-in value on electronics is way lower than resale value. I’ve sold a couple 2014/2015 MacBook Pros this year for $700+ and probably could’ve gotten more had I held out.

The reverse situation would be the case (cable supports 3A, but not 6A). For the range of voltages supported by USB-PD, the cable only cares about amperage. Copper wire doesn’t care much if it’s 5V, 50V, or 250V, it’ll carry it the same.

I’ve not seen any manufacturer even announce they were going to make a supported cable yet, let alone seen one that does. I might’ve missed it though. This will only make the hell of USB-C cabling worse imho.

It’s definitely technically possible to have secondary’s on a separate network that do zone axfr from the primary. That’s not to imply it’s trivial / easy at FB’s scale (query volume) or topology complexity (as in GSLB).

What are you basing those numbers on? The RTR subscription plans definitely don’t cost $200/day (closer to that for a month ). Even if you were doing RTR classic rentals instead, it would be around half that price.
