Even if this change is only temporary, it still improves things for that time.

That could very well not be the case. Major policy changes like these require a lot of preparation and are often scheduled to actually take effect on a far future date. So it could end up getting reverted again before it even happens.

I want to preface this by saying I am genuinely asking. I did a bunch of searching and only found articles about what may or what could...

But can anyone name concrete examples of what actually did change for them after the end of net neutrality?

Again, I am genuinely asking. I support net neutrality. But I cannot recall any way that the repeal actually affected me personally.

Please share your stories.

Apple had planned to have its modem chip ready to use in the new iPhone models. But tests late last year found the chip was too slow and prone to overheating. Its circuit board was so big it would take up half an iPhone, making it unusable.

Considering how bad some generations of Qualcomm chips have been about this, the Apple chip must have been seriously bad.

“Just because Apple builds the best silicon on the planet, it’s ridiculous to think that they could also build a modem,” said former Apple wireless director Jaydeep Ranade, who left the company in 2018, the year the project began.

Well yeah. It's certainly much easier when you start with ARM reference designs. Apple has what, the modem IP they bought from Intel? A company that, for all its prowess, decided to give up the modem market after only a few years rather than continue to refine the modem that they already brought to market?

Even Samsung gives in and uses Qualcomm modems in the US. And they're a major provider of the baseband hardware on the other end of the connection!

Apple will get there. But there is no way that their aggressive timeline was ever reasonable. Gotta make big promises to the shareholders, I guess.

Shell != Terminal

For alt+drag try this:

For the rest I think you'll need to go to real AutoHotkey.

The terminal and the shell are two different things.

cmd and ps are shells, which automatically use the built-in terminal as I recall.

Windows Terminal is not a shell. But it can open cmd or ps or bash shells.

NTFS has supported mounting drives to folders for decades. The Windows LVM equivalent would be LDM (which powers the deprecated Dynamic Disks), or Storage Spaces.
