So it's a network operated by a third party? That's interesting. The handful of universities I've been to maintain their own.

The hardest part of perpetual motion is hiding the battery.
That seems pretty standard stuff. My dorm had the same policy, because they operated their own mesh network and didn't want students sending out their own radio signals that would have absolutely made their wireless network not work well.
Is there some reason you need your own router?
ETA: The student dorm people probably meant a network switch. Regular, non-techy people don't usually know the difference between a router and a switch.
They're probably angling for Judge Samuel Ray Cummings, a Reagan appointee who has ruled against presidential efforts in the past.
MagSafe and magnetic Qi chargers have been around for years. They're also in many earbud cases and earbuds themselves (besides the transducer).
The problem isn't that it's magnetic, the problem is that it's a solution to a problem almost nobody has, excepting perhaps people without upper limbs.
Because as we know, shirts and other layers falling off our bodies is a problem we all face. And what we need to solve it is an over-engineered button.
It also presumes you have a contact number. Some big companies don't for the reason you mentioned, and some smaller ones don't, because they have no need for a business number.
I like it. Wonder if this could be retooled to work on rpm-ostree
systems, because any layered packages installed from RPM files have the same limitation of needing to be manually upgraded.
Don't use Meta products.

Absolutely this. In the town I moved from, Craigslist was the defacto town market. In this one, it's FB Marketplace.
FB doesn't have a stranglehold because they're better; these spaces can and do evolve organically.
If you appreciate autonomy, avoid MacOS. Their whole business model is to suck you into their technological ecosystem. The fact that their stuff works in any way outside of their expensive, walled garden is unintentional.
Simply because we've done the whole "single point of failure" before when it comes to markets, I hope they succeed, so we don't have a repeat of the chip shortage in 2020. Giant companies suck, but we'd all feel that one if TSMC was the only player and got swept up into a military pissing contest between China and the US.
