Because the less tech savvy people will be confused when the battery starts getting full and charging speed tapers off which will lead to complaints about their 20w charger only providing 3w of power.

In the US I can comfirm both GE (freight and passenger) and siemens passenger locomotives run Linux. Some passenger trainsets/cars still run embedded XP.

Pretty much all locomotives running out there today have a plethora of computers for managing fuel economy, brakes, and positive train control (rules compliance). Fun fact: the union pacific's 4104 'big boy' steam engine was fitted with wabtec's I-ETMS PTC which is powered by Linux so there's literally a steam powered locomotive running Linux.

And the FBI confiscated their cellphones and other methods of communication?

The FBI did seize their phones but the crew has received new phones from aid groups along with a Hotspot that was provided awhile ago.

Why the fuck are poor foreign workers being treated like that when we're letting the company almost completely off the hook?

The crew has been stuck on the ship because they are essential to the recovery process. The crew knows how to operate the ship and all of it's machinery. They've been responsible for keeping pumps on board the ship running and ensuring there's no flooding as the clean up goes on.

The real question is now that the ship is back at a berth and in a position where only a skeleton crew is needed why hasn't the US granted any emergency visas to the crew so they can start rotating shore leave?

Quality of service, networking term for rate limiting. Essentially whatever the QOS is set to is the maximum speed you will see.

The awnser is a firm no. Cheaters have moved to hardware based cheats with DMA boards. On valorant some cheaters have started exploiting remote play services to use machine vision based aim bots. Neither of those two methods can be detected by a kernel level anti cheat.

New bridges are built with protections such as pylons to prevent ships from even getting close to bumping into the bridge after the sunshine skyway bridge collapse of 1980.

Most people wouldn't actually like professional audio engineering headphones as the EQ is purposely set as flat as possible.

Live nation/ticketmaster is worse than that, if you try to open a venue without giving then a cut in some way they'll blacklist you from the industry.

Not to downplay anything but passenger rail employees are treated significantly better than freight. The majority of employees have set schedules including conductors and engineer. It's different from crew base to crew base but between 15% to 30% are extra board working on call.

Not to be that person but ethernet is the specification, the "grappling hook" you are referring to is the connector (Rj45 8p8c). Ethernet has a ton of different connectors in the spec from SFP to DE-9 and even HDMI.

Or how about the more simpler solution of changing the emissions regulations so trucks and SUVs have to meet the same targets as all the other vehicles.

And if you really want to encourage things even more they could also remove the tariffs on light trucks while increasing the sales tax on large trucks and SUVs.
