Their data must just be out of date. It's been over a year that I've had IPv6 with Ziggo business and home. As you say, Vodafone mobile still only does IPv4 though. The Ziggo shift would have made a huge impact on the national tot

I don't think that assumption is implicit in this argument, since it's specifically about whether complexity can lead to better optimization.

They're going to freeze the whole data center? It's rack after rack of machines that the traffic could have passed through, right? And if they're not logging IPs to RAM then they only have a fraction of a second to get the ri

That tool looked useful. Installed it and it immediately crashes when I tap "interface information". I guess my IP addresses are extremely top-secret.

Trackers will share your IP with anyone who is trying to download the same file. This is more or less require in order for the protocol to work. People/organizations run bots that pretend to be interested in popular downloads so that t

Ziggo has also rolled out IPv6 to all its customers so far as I know. They have about 40% of the market.

Nope, it's a tool for building a private network among machines which can be geographically and internetically distributed. So, more or less a VPN, but not particularly in the sense that people use it today (which is effectively a glor

Mine is 6 years old, my wife and son are both using 8-year-old iphones. They still get security updates.

My iphone is currently 6 years old, and still getting security updates from Apple. It works as well as it ever did (I spent €60-ish for a battery replacement a year or two ago), and I hope to get at least another year out of it yet. It cost

If you're torrenting, you should be aware that a cross-reference between your IP and the files you're transferring is effectively public information.

So tourists (or people visiting for family or work) who own iPhones wouldn't be able to use them in Israel? You can probably see how that's a tough sell.

There was a timeout. If you had touch tone it was faster to dial the whole thing because then the call would connect straight away.

Yes, and that would constitute "being a nuisance" but not "malicious vandalism".

A traffic cone on the hood is not "malicious vandalism"; it doesn't cause any damage to the vehicle.

We were told that Uber would mean fewer cars on the road, and in fact it's led to exactly the opposite - an explosion of additional VMTs, with all the accompanying pollution, resource waste, congestion, and crash deaths. If AV taxis ar

I absolutely have the means to afford a car, but I don't, because I much prefer the experience of public transit. I don't like waiting at lights when I could be moving, with a metro that's not an issue. I am quite tall and fi

Railways are a little different - for the most part (except at level crossings) they are operating on dedicated rights-of-way, and someone has to go out of their way to interfere with them. A car on a public street is mixing it up with ever

Modern Macbooks are very strategic about when and how much they charge. You can override it if you know you need a full charge Right Now, but otherwise they will decide how much to charge based on your usage patterns, which keeps the batter

I think you are joking, but if you want to, you can buy an adapter for like €10 that will go from magsafe to USB-C, and then indeed charge your non-Apple laptop with it.
