I have a Modi DAC I've used for years with several different gaming and development rigs and I've never had a problem like this. Sounds like a failing component, maybe a capacitor or regulator—the article author should contact Schiit.

Paper plates are still required. The number on it may not be as large as the actual plate, but there is definitely a unique number on it that is absolutely registered to owner of the car.
This sounds a lot like urban legend / internet lore
California did not require numbered paper plates when Jobs did this. Car dealers would put paper plates advertising themselves on the car, but you could remove them. Your temporary registration was taped on the inside of the front windshield.
I personally saw his SL500 with dealer plates a couple of times while visiting the Apple campus as a vendor. He'd park in the handicap spot too.
One of the most striking things about this article were the photos of the disguised cameras, especially the ones dressed up as traffic cones and electrical boxes.

Various peer-reviewed studies exist and have been covered by pop science articles over the past 15 years or so.
Here is an example one; there are likely dozens available.

Thanks! The first study is interesting because it links axial eye growth inhibition to high light levels, not necessarily being strictly outdoors (UV) nor avoiding close-up activities like reading. Interesting.

Obviously, genetics also plays a role in individual cases. We're talking about the population level here, and genetics doesn't explain the myopia epidemic, because population-level genetics hasn't changed rapidly. Time outdoors has.
I believe that more screen and reading time causes more childhood myopia. That seems hard to refute. I just do not believe, without serious peer-reviewed studies, that "a couple hours a day outside" is the magic cure. Out of my friend group, 3/4 of us needed glasses, and we definitely met the "couple hours a day outside"
criterion. But we also loved our Street Fighter 2.

This article is written in a way that will propagate the myth that screens are bad for your eyes. Screens are not uniquely bad. The myopia epidemic is not caused by screens per se, but by a lack of time outdoors during childhood. What is it about time outdoors that prevents myopia? It is some combination of much brighter light, broader light spectrum, and objects in your peripheral vision being farther away. I don't think it is fully known yet which of these factors is most important, and I am skeptical of claims that one in particular is to blame over the others. But ultimately some combination of these factors provides the signal to your retina to stop growing once it reaches the right size, which prevents myopia.
As long as you get a few hours outdoors most days during childhood, it doesn't really matter (from the perspective of myopia prevention) if you spend your indoor time in front of a screen or not. And if you don't get that outdoor time, avoiding screens won't save you from myopia. Screens are not really relevant here except to the extent that they encourage children to spend less time outside. You could just as easily blame HVAC or other conveniences of modern homes that make it nicer to stay inside.
I keep hearing this, but I spent a lot of time outdoors as a child. Hours every day, riding bikes with friends and running around with BB guns in the woods. We played a lot of video games and read books, too, but we spent plenty of time making tree forts and "sword fighting" with old pipes. Still needed glasses by the age of 7.
It also assumes they're using the same tires. EV owners put on EV tires, which are formulated to have a lower rolling resistance, quieter and last longer. All 3 of those correlate with lower dust.
