You don't need bandwidth to switch streaming services and import your old playlists though. For example a streaming service like Tidal tags all AI music and does not monetize AI generated music.
And if you weant the music straight on your phone, something like Opus 128 kbps is already considered high quality (we have come a long way since mp3). Let's say your cousin has 20 000 songs. That's about 60 GB in that form, which fits on most mid grade/flagship phones.
Problem is USB lock connectors are not standardized. So these are only sporadically used, much more expensive and hard to replace by end users.
For many professional use cases, USB-B suffices. Most professional devices don't need the speed of USB 3.0 and aren't plugged in and out all the time, they just need to be reliable for a decade or more.
If you really want sturdy, fast and standardized then different protocols are used entirely in the industry. Such as Profinet, Ethercat, Ethernet or DE9 with CAN or RS485. These can cover larger distances, can be used in networks and the protocol is often more deterministic.
Same here, we make diagnostic devices used in factories. These are shipped with USB A to USB B cables.
USB C was considered but it doesn't have enough withdrawal force
It's not super hard to leave Spotify if you are willing to invest some effort.
Use Exportify (free service) to download his playlists from Spotify as csv files. Or use something like Soundizz (paid) to directly convert between platforms.
You can parse the csv files and use something like Soulseek to create an offline library. Compress to aac or opus so you can take thousands of songs with you on your phone, or use your own casting service on a raspberry pi.
The amount of Dutch and German drivers is roughly equal. Perhaps it's those darn BMW drivers. You always see them smoking, wearing a cap, with their chair set all the way back, overtaking cars on the right.
The worst thing is that almost nothing happens at the border patrol, it's just a farce to keep the German right wing population happy and everyone has to suffer because of it.
You drive into a large traffic jam because everything is funnelled onto one lane where you can only progress at walking speed. Many times there isn't even someone on guard. And if there are guards, they are talking to each other.
Got to say, it's not very cheerful nor is it welcoming to drive into a country like that.
No one is stopping a car owner from doing that, but many will forget. And they will be unpleasantly surprised and might not join such a challenge again. Hence my heads up
ZIP encryption can be pretty strong, as long as you use aes-256 and not zipcrypt. AES256 had been supported for ZIP files since 2003, just not in the built-in Windows zip handling.
Seems Dutch. The price includes all taxes including VAT as is mandatory in Europe but still it's very expensive.
Price seems about 3 times too high for a novelty beer from a small brewery. My guess is that this fridge photo is taken not in a shop but in a drinking establishment, such as a bar or food court.
However for countries that adopt dd-mm-yyyy, it's also completely natural to say it out loud in that way (20 April 2026).
So by that reasoning we will never end up with a universally accepted date format.

Front collision warning/braking is already mandatory on all new cars after 2024. And many older more expensive cars have it as well.

Depends on your model. Some BMW, Volvo, VW and older Teslas discharge within weeks. Mostly due to their built in telematic systems and luxury systems.
My message was meant for people who do not take these things into account. As there are many of them.
Also, you can definitely permanently damage your battery by letting it discharge too far. This is due to a process called hard sulfation.
I was pointing out the negatives of leaving a car parked for 5 weeks. Sure you can read it differently, depending on your mindset.
No, why? I live in a country where traveling by public transport is the norm.
No one is stopping a car owner from doing that, but many will forget. And they will be unpleasantly surprised and might not join such a challenge again. Hence my heads up
Parking your car for so long is not without risk though.
Might need a new car battery as it will slowly drain.
Parking brakes might get stuck.
Tires might develop flat spots.
I love my Wii, it's always immediately ready, has good haptics and some of the games are just awesome.

I modified my 2600 to have composite output instead. It also slightly improves the video quality
Nice, still in use? Show the front too, these are pretty looking receivers.
Those are modern! My audio equipment used DIN plugs. And the tv only had an antenna input.
