It’s the Walmart model. A lot of the frustration is that it’s a systemic problem where individuals are incentivized against their best interests and the best interests of their communities. Because shareholders. The Line, must go up. Thankfully (/s) Amazon has enough money that it’s cheaper to bribe politicians than provide a better product. So systemic solutions are that much more difficult.

Very clear. Secondary examples include: Dictionaries, Encyclopedias (also considered tertiary); Tertiary examples include: Dictionaries and Encyclopedias (also considered secondary); They do have a handy table later though: | Primary | diaries - world war | | Secondary | biography - world war | | Tertiary | encyclopedia - world war |

You shouldn’t cite wikipedia in a paper because it’s a tertiary source. Somehow that got lost in translation sometime in the 90s. You shouldn’t cite any other encyclopedia either, because they’re “some guy” writing a paragraph or so about a thing. I think it was Britannica that Tolkein wrote a lot of the “W"’s for. I’m sure he did a great job, but it’s not exactly easy to fact check him either.

There’s weirdness sometimes if devices don’t respect your network’s dns settings and just use their own. You can override that by forcing a dns redirect if your router supports that but not all consumer ones do unless you put openwrt or something on them.

Modern specs are complicated. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something like a cryptographic key the driver needs to be signed with to successfully complete the handshake to enable all display options between the computer and display. Not entirely unwarranted either, an unexpected amount of voltage on an unexpected pin because the driver / hardware is misconfigured damaging your TV would suck.
