He's using a Mac, Apple removed support for subpixel rendering many years ago, it's not ClearType, the display shows color fringing even with grayscale antialiasing, that's what he's complaining about.

One of the points of Unicode was to replace every other existing text encoding. This requires enough fidelity to be able to round-trip the text back and forth to them so that you can receive data in another text encoding, store it in Unicod

Are you trying to VPN directly to IP addresses instead of DNS names? Or using a custom DNS server? You should still have connectivity to IPv4 hosts, it's just that you need to translate the IPv4 addresses into their corresponding NAT64

When I was on CGNAT, sure I shared an IP address with hundreds of others, but the specific ports I was assigned on that IP were deterministic, and you can be sure the advertising companies were taking advantage of that.

Exactly. IPv6 was developed in the ivory towers where it was still assumed that everyone wanted to be a full participant of the internet. But the social/political environment was that everyone just wants to be a passive consumer, payin

IPv6 is used on mobile networks since there aren't enough IPv4 addresses. Some of these mobile networks are so big there aren't even enough private IPv4 addresses for their CG-NAT private side to fit, leaving the only clean soluti

Can't you just leave a dongle on any wired headphones you have? Assuming you only use them with your phone and computer and don't have a CD player or something.

I built a similar solution around the same time for semi-transparent PNG sprite animations. I remember the biggest issue was working around the GPU texture limitations on the early iPads which were exposed by mobile Safari.

My carrier (NTT docomo in Japan) only provides IPv6 to the end device. Access to IPv4 servers is through DNS64/NAT64, where their DNS server rewrites any DNS response that has an IPv4 in it to [64:ff9b::(the IPv4)] which gets handled b

Apple requires that all iOS apps on the store function on an IPv6-only network (which is how several large mobile phone networks work), and everything works fine on the application layer.
