Flat cables can be conformant and they still have twisted pairs. Cables just have to meet the physical properties set by the standard.

So when Steve ballmer was hired in 1980, before they had even released MS-DOS? Seems like a pretty early start on deciding to ruin windows.
You can find plenty of people complaining online about the startup time of the windows and gnome (snap) calculators. The problem in those cases isn’t solved by compiled languages, but it illustrates that it’s important to consider performance even for things like calculator apps.
You can sometimes deal with performance issues by caching, if you want to trade one hard problem for another (cache invalidation). There’s plenty of cases where that’s not a solution though. I recently had a 1ns time budget on a change. That kind of optimization is fun/impossible to do in Python and straightforward to accomplish Rust or C/C++ once you’ve set up your measurements.

WSL is just a well integrated VM running Linux. It’s mainly intended for CLI tools, but there’s nothing preventing you from e.g. running an X server and having programs appear in the Windows “window manager”.
The super key is largely inaccessible though. It’s tied very deeply into Windows, which is still the one talking to the keyboard.
It’s a little weird and very European, so OpenSUSE.
Cost of living isn’t the same everywhere and perspective is relative.
Rent in my area averages around 3k USD/mo for fairly plain arrangements. Between that and “unavoidable” costs like utilities, you’d get 3-4 months max on that amount, even living frugally. It really isn’t that much for a lot of people, even if that amount might be to you.
Apple was one of the major contributors to the USB-C standard, including the physical connectors.
The tongue design was used because it makes high speed a lot easier. If your traces are in the center of the connector, you can do a cutout of the PCB and mount a “dumb” connector housing for the socket. You can also have a ground plane right in the middle and use both sides for differential pairs, which is exactly what happened. It also means you don’t have to deal with the pain of high frequency signals leaving the board into the air like other connectors.
But yes, don’t shove screwdrivers into your USB sockets either.
Glaciers actually do retreat and advance seasonally or on even longer cycles. Some have terminuses that move back and forth literal miles. One of the key indicators of climate change is the fact that globally, glaciers are retreating more than they’re advancing on average.
