If you are on iOS there is a per-app setting where you can disable cellular data for a particular app. It's possible you inadvertently turned that on for Twitter - Its a mistake I've made before and convinced myself I had a bug in my app.

My guess is some subcontractor got to build it and charge an obscene amount of money for it.

I'm disappointed that I read the headline wrong. I thought these NFTs were powered by CVS technology.

_Build Your Own Z80 Computer_ by Steve Ciarcia is fantastic. You will learn the basics of computer architecture, digital logic, assembly language, power supply design, and a basic operating system. Even though it's a book from the early 80s using chips from the late 70s the parts are still available.I believe the author has posted a pdf of the book on his website, but there are used copies on Amazon and Ebay and it's a lot of fun doing a project like this without using the internet by relying on nothing but the paperback and a mouser catalog. https://www.amazon.com/Build-Your-Own-Z80-Computer/dp/007010... https://archive.org/details/BuildYourOwnZ80ComputerSteveCiar...

This comment makes me feel old. The 2/3 sized cat5 jack is actually an RJ11 - what we used to call a 'phone jack'
I've been suffering from the same frustration, and have been thinking about switching to a smaller bank. There are apparently more than 7,000 FDIC insured institutions out there.
