Writing this on a OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G. It's not an old model, you can still buy them new from the manufacturer with years of updates. It has a 3.5mm jack.

However, 3.5mm to USB-C adapters are not passive, they're active. They need a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) to generate audio signals from the digital data stream that comes from the USB-C.

Phones didn't use to have very good DACs (with exceptions, of course), but they're still normally better than whatever you get from a 3€ adapter.

Adapters are also less convenient than a headphone jack, because now you need to remember taking the adapter and the headphones with you.

Client side anti-cheat (the one installed on your PC) will never work, it's just fundamentally impossible. They can restrict user freedom as much as they want, but the hardware still isn't under their control.

The only reason they push for those kinds of anti-cheats is because they don't have to pay for the extra processing of server side anti-cheat, and they also get the benefit of a backdoor into your computer that you may never fully uninstall without buying a new computer.

There's an even smaller scale tower, also built by the same architect, and also using the same design as the WTC. It's in Madrid, Spain.

Ask people from your country, or look online to see if torrenting is prosecuted there. If people don't get letters from the ISP, you can just enable encryption in your torrent software and forget about it.

I've been torrenting without VPN for a decade (Spain), and never had any issues, not even traffic slowdowns.

Edit: You're probably gonna see a lot of advice to always use a VPN. Most of this advice is from US users, who are not used to torrenting without VPNs. The truth is, as with everything, it really depends. I'm not a fan of generalized answers to questions, and the same advice isn't as good for every situation. VPNs are a barrier of entry, and they also come with a slowdown. If you're starting to torrent and VPNs are not necessary in your country, don't be afraid to torrent without one. But of course, if you're from the US, you'll have to use one!

I don't know why you're being downvoted. I'd say you're wrong, because it's 10/10 times these things don't work. I've seen many similar projects get proposed, funded and abandoned (even some that really did sound more efficient than this to me). The truth is, standard trains are still the cheapest thing you can put on those rails. They're simple, repairable, predictable, they don't break easily, can be easily driven by anyone or automated with standard systems that have been around for decades. Even if a small govt can't buy a new train, they can get second hand trains from other cities, which will still work perfectly for decades.

Mv2 is not a website API, it's a browser API, only used by extensions. It tells the browser how the extension wants to deal with the sites. No matter what methods and APIs and standards the sites use, Mv2 would still be able to do what it does now.
