It's sad to see apple go from customer experience first to investor satisfaction first. There is a lot of pressure on iOS26 and Tahoe being bloated and slow with planned obsolescence clearly taking centre stage. People can hope that ap

NAT is just one slice of IPv4. Granted your private IP is not routable (with CGNAT now your gateway is also no longer routable), but think of other features of IPv6 that are congruent: SLAAC basically means your routable IPv6 address change

We are in the transition phase from ICE to an Electric motor. It's too early to call who can nail it. Currently the Chinese cars are cheap and have long range. But in India Tatas and Mahindra makes cheap EVs that may not be as reliable

we have become used to retina displays these days so 1080p 24 inch looks 'pixelated'. I sit about 18 inches from the monitor and it looks okay. I find this distance and size most comfortable for me. The 27 inch 4k was too big for
