It didn’t take that many generations for us to do it to foxes, so going back might be just as fast.

They should make the next IP standard spin. Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning.

This is a pretty good takedown of IPv6 but I think the biggest problem with its adoption is the addresses. They look like gobbledygook just so we can give everything a public address and it made it a lot more fiddly to configure.

Good to know. But unless you want to be giving Rivers Cuomo the autofocus ones probably aren’t your style.

Also, could there be a backlash against thick frames in the future because they might be hiding electronics

Stop IPv6 from existing.

Make IPv5, add a fifth number to the address, and improve NAT.

Not every particle in the universe needs a publicly routable address.

Plus “clunky” bifocals have way fewer moving parts and can be made with thin wire frames so they’re lighter.

I used to put the forms inside of invisible tables, as was the style at the time.

One of my cars has climate control with a knob, so I have to look at the (small) screen to see what the temperature is.

My other car has a hot/cold knob that I can just crank all the way to the stops. It even turns the A/C full blast on full cold.

I prefer the latter.
