It was an unusual campaign in that 95% of campaign promises weren't not just unfulfilled but 180* opposite of policy. Ultimate con man.

But now that Philippines is nearly out of oil China has made overtures to take care of their oil needs which have been defacto accepted.

The quid pro quo isn't stated yet but US caused their oil crisis so this announcement isn't real.

What an odd thing to say.

I rip my DVD and Bluray discs to a NAS and play them with Jellyfin. There's not even an optical player near a TV anymore. The last one died in about 2008.

But I have put some of those files on USB before for the kids.

Used Blurays are about $5 usually and much better quality than any streaming service rental.

The Onn is an excellent device for the money and most questionable aspects can be disabled or piholed. Jellyfin and SmartTube and Projectivy are all fine.

I should go see if LineageOS has added any new low-power devices in the past year. That's the best option but nothing supported was for sale when I last looked.

Exactly.

Somebody said they spent a lot of time and money coming up with a new "nonbinary" mascot.

I started using Firefox over 20 years ago and never had any idea whether the fox was male or female. Since thunderbirds are fictional I'm not sure about the sexual dimorphism of their plumage.

It's hard to understand how they think these days. At least Ladybird will offer a second rendering engine when the bubble pops. Engineering-focused software organizations used to be the norm.

I guess a Ladybird is a female, not that it matters at all. The AI should have Majel Barret's voice anyway.

Posting since it was only in the footnotes.

15W might be good for use cases where n1x0 are a bit slow.

I'd consider a mini pc with one of these for kiosk-type applications. I have an n100 platform that gets maxed out with about 8 4K streams running. Would be nice to bump those up to 12 streams without much more power.

The iGPU code for ffmpeg is pretty good.

Hopefully these move beyond laptops later in the year.

What? Expensive? Since when is expense a priority over Planet Saving? Just stop with your planet wrecking planes. This jet fuel supply problem is a good thing: think of all the CO2 particles Europe won't be emitting!

So? Isn't Europe full of planet saving trains, unlike stupid 'murika? What's the problem?

Add that to the list of benefits that come from all this.

That's over now. And thank fucking Christ. America still leading the way for the Western world.

Now, Europe needs to be enlightened to the path. No more pretending equivalence of kleptocracies and theocracies and commie dictatorships. No more fake neutrality. No more hiding behind the US umbrella while pretending the umbrella doesn't exist. Sounds like a excellent change, and Europe should be dragged kicking and screaming into this new day.

Some colos don't even provide v6 yet.

Some ISP's still don't suport it.

Some classes of network gear only recently got hardware v6 support. Older gear still in service pushes v6 onto the CPU. Probably why those colos and ISP's don't support it.

And I still see important v6 fixes coming in hardware changelogs, mostly on the LAN management stacks (neighbor discovery, mDNS, etc.)

That said, the pieces are finally coming together in the past two years, roughly.

I would bet 2030* will see v6 at around 75% of traffic as that old gear is tricked out and the stacks wind up in maintenance mode.

At home I actually have more light bulbs on v6 than desktops, but that'll change when my switches get too old and tired. I could replace them all right now to change but there would be no benefit to me for dropping three to four grand. None of my home use cases would benefit.

* 2038 if the politicians do actually create a global depression which is looking increasingly likely

They're pissing on 'you' and telling you it's raining, if the summary is correct.

It usually follows the business model collapsing and precedes a fork and the original just going into support.

Does BYD make dumb cars or is that mandatory control-grid over there?

Also, how dare they not comply with a US control grid!

Excuse me while I go find a '77 Lincoln Town Car. But do make a dumb electric with a good cold-weather battery and let me know.

I've seen too much sausage being made to bet on cell service always existing .

Never put off till tomorrow the poor decisions you can make today.

Also, I've never heard of Cal.com. I suspect nothing of value is being lost here.

It's possible they're buying allocated frequency bands.

They're strongly incentivized to do this without whatever force you think is necessary. Also, it's not the case that low orbit is the solve-all you appear to believe. When collisions occur, shrapnel distributes in all directions, some of which are longer, higher orbits.
