It only implements IPv4 which explains to a degree that why IPv6 isn't ubiquitous: it's costly to implement.

That's a beautifully written post. Almost like a book. I love it. Also, it made me notice that how much I missed the artistry of computer magazine ads. There was something magical with the experience of reading a computer magazine that

I'm okay advertising ECH as a privacy enhancement, it is, but make no mistake, it will not prevent government tracking or censorship. Governments will request platforms to disable ECH or ask for other signals to be reported, and ban th

Exactly. Windows Cairo was planned to be a competitor to NeXTSTEP, and later, parts of it made it to Windows 95 and NT.

> They are far more likely to burst into flames than EVs. There’s a substantial increased risk only with ICE cars that are at least 10 years old and poorly maintained. Li-ion EVs carry that risk from day one.

I don’t want lithium-ion alternatives for better range. Quite the opposite, I’m actually okay having slightly less range if it means my car won’t spontaneously combust. This one apparently improves the safety of lithium-ion batteries too, s

CPC allows some level of smooth scrolling, albeit not as good as C64. Lack of a text mode is a problem too as you said.

The term "disc" for storage predates optical media. "Disc" was the common spelling for a disk (like a floppy disk) on British 8-bit computers like Amstrad CPC or Sinclair Spectrum.[1][2] It seems like the distinction sim

Taycan relies too heavily on touch. Not even vent directions are manually adjustable on a Taycan. BMW i4 interior is much better in that aspect: many physical controls. I hope Porsche fixes its mistakes soon.

The web site also makes that distinction: living wage, poverty wage, and minimum wage.
