This one (https://web.archive.org/web/20231204210803/https://m.media-a...) shows hooks in what looks like a mudroom catching an image of a person in black clothing in a ski-mask, indicating a use case of the hook would be to surreptitiously record a thief.

On the archive, it is advertised as a "Hidden Clothes Hook Camera, Mini Spy Camera HD 1080P, Nanny Cam with Motion Detection, Wireless Security Camera for Home/Office/Pet Monitor, Video Recorder No WiFi Needed, No Audio" with no mention of it being a "bathroom spycam."

I also found it at the New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a16995

I am unsure of the original source.

I got several quotes through them (though decided to hold off on solar for the time being last fall).

>We sold a cheap van in the company name. I was 100% straightforward about this with Stripe. I would happily reverse the charge and reprocess it through our primary processor. The customer would also be willing. We have all the paperwork to prove the sale and a signed credit authorization. Stripe has asked us for 0 documents pertaining to the sale.

>On top of being out this money, we have to remit sales tax to the state for this sale. It's not a truckload of money but it's enough to make a small business owner throw his head in his hands

If we are taking him at face value that he sold a van, should we also take him at face value that he would be happy to reverse the transaction to his customer and that Stripe is holding his funds hostage and is impossible to get a resolution from?

Your conclusion is completely at odds with this quote from the article:

> WebAgency quoted the highest rate of anyone I interviewed, but their portfolio best matched the style I wanted.

I Googled and the first result was "Under delta, supply chain strains, Toyota slashes production."[0] Many similar results[1][2][3].

Six months ago they were getting temporary reprieve because they monitored supply and snapped some up[4], but now, six months later, they seem to be having to slash production like everyone else.

I'd like to learn more about if Europe overall is doing better than the United States. I couldn't find comparative numbers with solid data. Thank you for sharing your story, I am glad you found a light at the end of the tunnel.

Maybe non-standard connectors are actually a feature, not a bug, because everything having the same connector but not the same functionality will lead to confusion as described above.
