For individual projects the way this usually works is one of the larger companies that rely on the project hires the developer as an employee to maintain the codebase full-time and help integrate it with their internal processes.

Larger projects might form their own company and sell integration & support to other companies (e.g. Red Hat, Bitwarden).

Otherwise you're basically dependent on donations or government grants.

There's a Wikipedia article on this subject: Business models for open-source software

And there's various industry opinions:

I think monetization is easier for user-facing software though, which a lot of this material is written around, and harder for projects like libraries.

No, of course, you were talking about 4x4.

My point isn't about towing per se, but what the towing capacity tells you about the power output of the motor - which is relevant to 4x4 activities. You aren't going to be pushing through mud or soft sand in this thing, the motor will stall out.

This thing has the equivalent towing capacity of a Chevy Impala. There are utility carts with more power.

I don't think a 4x4 will make any sense without a complete redesign of the drive system.

Personally I just splice all my cables into MIL-DTL-26482 connectors, that way I know they're solid!

And they're big enough you can grip it with your whole hand!

So the USB connector and the USB protocol are different, and not necessarily related to each other - however there is a functional upper limit to the throughput that a given connector type can support (you'll never get USB 3.0 data transfer through a USB Mini connector).

A type C connector might only be wired to USB 2.0-level hardware on the back - but this is not really a bad thing. There are lots of low-level electronic devices that need a USB connector that don't really need 3.0 data transfer, and faster data processing chips are more expensive, but it's convenient to only need one type of cable for everything.

There are some nice reference tables in the Wikipedia article: USB Hardware

It is an absolute PITA to keep an email server on the "nice" list so your company's email traffic doesn't get spam filtered by every service provider, and the major services (gmail, outlook, etc) are all federating their spam filter lists so many times if you get blocked on one you get blocked on all. There is so much spam to deal with that the filtering is highly automated and there's little human oversight.

The point being, it could only take a handful of incidents reporting a company's email as spam to ruin their reputation and result in email from their domain getting automatically filtered everywhere. So, you know, if they don't support an easy way to unsubscribe then they are in fact behaving like spammers, so flag them and let them deal with having their domain blacklisted.
