Paywalled. Where and why would the rental market be softening?

Yes, it's /c/piracy! Using torrents. Open source, community ran, providing free and equal access to information for all.

Or Usenet which is direct network access to enormous private digital media libraries to download to your own computer.

Be aware that Mullvad recently removed support for port forwarding if that matters to you. They're no longer a preferred option for torrents for that reason. Other than that I enjoy using their service.

I found a great scan of the original book on the Smithsonian website but I'm still unsure where it is located today.

I was skeptical but then I went to the Google store and looked at their USB-C cables and they are also USB 2.0 speeds.

You can just disable it when it pops up. I hope it continues to warn new users when first setting it up.

If you tap the compass icon, it will change the view in Google maps from top down to prospective view.

Interesting, but the article does say that it happened with the guillotine.

When the guillotine was first introduced, some condemned criminals would pay executioners to sharpen the blade, ensuring a quick and relatively merciful end. Prisoners sentenced to beheading in certain eras in England would also pay their executioners, requesting execution in a single blow. In both of these senses, the payment was more like a bribe than a specific fee for services rendered, as it were.
