IMPORTANT: If you’re turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don’t walk away.
Your response [verbatim] should be: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.”
Don’t let them steal your vote.

The data's really, really clear: most *new* phones (even in the US and the UK) are 20-35% as fast as the ones developers carry.
But it's worse than that! Most phones in the fleet are more than 18 months old, which means the median device is *whatever cost ~$350 two years ago*.
That is not a fast device. It doesn't have 5G. It absolutely will not deliver a good UX if you're building with the usual React nonsense.
Releasing videos to a schedule is one thing, but releasing videos to a weekly schedule non-stop for a decade is something else entirely.
