Who is this for? Looking at the Apple Store, they sell an official USB-C cable for less ($19, but you can obviously find good quality third-party cables for much less).

Road shipping isn't really cheaper, they just get to put $10 of operational cost on the taxpayer for every $1 they spend. You're basically subsidizing artificially cheap shipping.

Could you explain this? Is it because taxes pay for roads?

I guess many servers are capping speeds them. Makes sense since I almost never see downloads actually take advantage of my Gigabit internet speeds.

That's a morbid take, but I agree.

I don't usually delete stuff on purpose, but I am not as diligent as I "should" be about backing all my data. Sure, I back up the most important things, but the rest of it I won't really miss if it gets deleted.

For example my Bookmarks/Saved Posts/Watch Later/Read It Later lists, they sometimes get deleted when I move devices and I don't bother restoring them even when I can. Most of the things I add to those lists I know I am never going to read/watch. I add them anyway just to be safe, but I don't feel bad if I don't ever get to them. There's only so much time in this world.

FDM does some clever things to boost download speeds. It splits up a download into different chuncks, and somehow downloads them concurrently. It makes a big difference for large files (for example, Linux ISOs).

Get ready, this is happening again.

That sounds like so much work! I mean even just the website design, you'd need to extensively learn front-end best practices, CSS, JavaScript libraries... Clicks link

It's still my favorite download manager on Windows. It often downloads file significantly faster than the download manager built into browsers. Luckily I never installed it on Linux, since I have a habit of only installing from package managers.

Do you know of a good download manager for Linux?

Both Bitbucket and Confluence partially support Markdown, but they implement it in different ways, which is maddening.

That's literally not all what happened in the ending but for some reason everyone seems to thinks so.
