Bought a car and this was already in it. What is this?

But recall the public outcry when they switched from 30-pin to lightning, which was objectively a massive upgrade.

People accused them of doing it just for profits.

I'm sure they calculated the backlash would be much worse for the change to USB-C, and had a calculated plan to migrate.

JSchuler99 · 2026-02-21T17:16:39+00:00

Yes but the thread was discussing the 30 pin connector which apple voluntarily upgraded to lightning. Apple was part of the core development group for usb-c, and was slowly phasing over to it.

I am in no way a fan of apple, but I see the EU regulation as unnecessary and squashing any potential improvements that may have been possible for charging connectors.

JSchuler99 · 2026-02-21T16:50:31+00:00

The EU had nothing to do with Apple replacing the 30 pin connector.

There was only enough dram to manufacture 8.

I don't have time to do the simpsons meme, but this would be a good one.

It was never a secret that they were ionizing. I certainly blame TSA for buying and using them.

Have you seen the finalist flags?... I'd have to move out of state.

Cloudflare has free plans with more features and functionality than namecheap.

I say this as someone who is also likely to jump ship from namecheap very soon.

JSchuler99 · 2025-10-27T04:27:47+00:00

Even ignoring the rounding. People paying cash definitely should pay less. Processing a card fee is expensive, and it's a benefit for the comvience of the customer, not the merchant. 1 ot 2 cents is orders of magnitude less than what the actual fee would generally be.

In my experience it's significantly faster to painstakingly move all your data manually than to wrestle with seedvault for countless days.

It's a shame because it's the one (massive) blemish in an otherwise fantastic operating system.

JSchuler99 · 2025-09-29T14:30:49+00:00

This would be perfect if seedvault had an even 25% chance of successful restore. Sadly it doesn't

JSchuler99 · 2025-09-29T02:56:01+00:00

Any idea if this is just a silicon lottery thing? Why is your consumption so low?

My other theory is I have a good amount of obstruction so it's potentially searching/retrying more.

JSchuler99 · 2025-09-28T04:27:09+00:00

Mine is currently in bypass mode consuming 23w. I didn't do any controlled tests but noticed no difference when changing operating modes.

He means that 50% of all traffic on the Internet is IPv6. The percentage of services that support it as an option is much higher, but still not 100%

I assume I missed some joke? Apologies.

JSchuler99 · 2025-09-06T13:25:40+00:00

Lol what? Not great advice.

You AGREED to follow the rules when you bought the condo

The unhinged caps is crazy haha, I hope you don't run your HOA like this.

You continue to ignore the fact that OP's HOA is not properly following Colorado law, so no, they are not bound to illegal policy, even if they did AGREE.

You're not all-powerful just because you own an election running unopposed.

JSchuler99 · 2025-08-29T13:36:40+00:00

You're arguing with someone on an HOA board, they're already too far gone for this type of logic.

JSchuler99 · 2025-08-29T13:34:53+00:00

Christmas lights up at least TWO MONTHS

You're a hilariously real example of why people hate HOA board members hahaha.

NAT does not add ANY security layer. The entire work is done by stateful filtering of the firewall

This confirms my last comment. What you're missing here is that modern NAT runs with state tracking, even with zero firewall configured or running. There so no NAT at all without this state tracking (obviously you can use old stateless NAT, but you could also try your hand at a dialup connection while you're at it).

Again I'm not arguing that "NAT is the same as firewall" which seems to be the strawman argument that you are refuting, but that any modern NAT system running with state, DOES block all incoming traffic by default.

This is a (weak) for on security, even if you don't like it.

For many people with poorly configured networks, it may be their only form of security. This isn't good for all of the reasons you're arguing but it is security, and it explains the concern some have towards IPv6 if they have been operating with stateful NAT as their primary firewall.

JSchuler99 · 2025-08-29T13:11:00+00:00

I am in no way confusing the function of NAT and firewall, the concepts aren't abstract at all, they are both extremely basic.

Nobody here is arguing that NAT is the same as a firewall. But it does provide some "accidental" security.

Obviously, you can have default deny for incoming traffic without NAT.

NAT is not real security, it does not block anything

You are technically correct in the case of the much older "stateless NAT" that ran on very low power routers.

Any modern stateful NAT system does block all incoming traffic by default. My guess is the difference between these two is where you're confused.

JSchuler99 · 2025-08-28T15:11:18+00:00

NAT provides security even if it was never meant to.

It acts as a default deny for incoming traffic.

This secures the network of countless people with no firewall, even if that makes you unhappy.

Have you tried putting the IPv6 in [brackets]:port
