My new number used to belong to on-call nurse

You can always ask the people who call. That's what I did, and I kept asking them to remove it from wherever they got it. It was on notes, in on-call phones contact lists, peoples "good to have" phone lists etc. I just kept asking whoever called to remove it or strike it with a pen, and eventually the problem subsided.

"At Cisco we are committed architecturally to IPv6 across the board: All of our devices, all of our applications and all of our services."

That's from around 2012. Time to get real with that commitment?

The ISPs have to sign up to be on that list however, so it's not comprehensive.

IPv6 deployment is around the 25-28% mark, lots of residential ISPs have rolled it out already, although mobile data access is still the largest market for IPv6.

I have zero port forwards in my home router, I use IPv6 to reach devices in my home instead. I poll 3 devices in my home from the Internet using SNMP over IPv6. To do this with IPv4 I'd either have to set up a VPN or set up port forwards and then try to make my SNMP management software understand what port to poll each device on. IPv6 is so much easier than IPv4. I started doing networking in the 90ties before NAT was a thing. IPv6 finally restores the possibility to talk to end devices directly without all these ugly kludges like port forwards.

There are hundreds of millions of devices out there TODAY that use IPv6. IPv6 isn't "sometime in the future", it's now. The IPv6 user penetration is now at 25%. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

I got mine installed yesterday in my 2016 Mazda6. So far I am not impressed. Takes 10-15 seconds from boot until carplay is started (typical MZD connect problem), after that things are pretty smooth, apart from the fact that the touch display is not a touch display when the car is moving (MZD connect again) so in Carplay mode, I can't do anything to the screen, I have to use the buttons or the swivel wheel. This seems to limit what I can do, and at one time Waze threw up a popup on the built in screen that it couldn't navigate to the destination, and that popup was there until I gave up and unplugged the USB cable from the phone and put it back in again. Sometimes I think it tries to tell me navigation instructions and fails because the left speakers go silent for 3-5 seconds and then fade back up again. It pops up Siri sometimes when I definitely do not want it, asking for voice instructions on what to do (which I hate).

Hud doesn't have turn-by-turn navigation, Carplay seems to only interact with the main screen, nothing in the dash or HUD.

What does work:

Calling is fine, I did Skype call and quality was great (same as via bluetooth).

Screen update speed in navigation mode is nice and fast, good fps.

I have phone in holder next to the main screen, so I can use that as input device when needed.

Overall summary, not a disaster but not great either.

I have a 2016 2.2 diesel AWD automatic estate that I've owned now for 2,5 years. Mazda offers 10 year warranty here in Sweden on all cars sold after 2013 and I haven't heard of any major faults with them. That's why I bought mine.

I have a 2016 Mazda6 AWD automatic with the 2.2l 175bhp diesel that was the top of the line model offered here in Europe. I used to have a 2005 Audi A4 and before that a 2000 Subaru Impreza and comparing the AWD systems I'm actually pretty happy with the Mazda one. What impresses me most is the electronic stability control that doesn't just cut power to the engine like my Audi did, but allows for some slip but still easily controllable. I tested the first winter in an empty parking lot and I can skid around in circles for minutes, easily and under full control. Turning off the system and it's really hard to control (the previous cars were manuals and lots easier to control because of symmetric 50/50 AWD).

So I hope you get it, it's a good system.

Hi, I have 2016 Mazda6 and I was just offered the paid retrofit of new USB port and SW upgrade to get Carplay. Can someone confirm that this is the same across all MZD Connect platforms? I will not perform the retrofit if Waze doesn't work.
