There is even mainstream press articles about it here in Sweden. "dependance on microsoft ooh so bad" etc.

I find it laughable.

Unless you have a time machine to 2005 (EC2 came out in 2006 that should have been the signal) there is no way to compete now. That train has left the platform.

Second, Nokia and Ericsson dominate mobile infra in the west, but that is good I guess as they are EU? What does USA think about that?

Third, let us say you get rid of MS. Now you have no MS but all network infra for broadband is Cisco, Huawei, Juniper etc. Good luck ripping that out. And for what?

Same with AI. Mistral was amazing at first, Le Chat. Almost as good, generous free limits, good docs. Now? Just plain bad. Deepseek is better (I dislike china so I avoid it). EU should have gone in 500% the moment Mistral showed promise.

But lately we let USA and China take the lead on everything and EU can write a strongly worded letter after about how bad it is.

People will "care" when EU starts making good stuff again.

And lastly lol, people do know everything ends in Taiwan in the end right?

I don't pay so I'm glad for the upgrade. I usually use Gemini, Mistral Le Chat (Vibe...) or Deepseek as they have way more generous free limits and I can basically spam forever.

This is what I am referring to. But from an end-user side, one option does not work, and one does work. Then I will use the working DNS.

Because to me even as an IT person it sounds like a good idea on the surface. To have no connections to/form ads, malware, c2.

But yes, then you happen upon your first false positive.

And you switch back to a non filtered DNS OR one that you can whitelist or control, still annoying.

Was about to comment this. I actually don't like advert or malware blocking on my public DNS resolvers. It sounds cool but annoying when it misfires.

Once Quad9 blocked Halo MCC XBOX Live -> Steam achievements, several fileshare services (probably used for malware somewhere but not my usage) etc...

1.1.1.1 blocked archive.is or got blocked by them or something...

Gone back to Google DNS (gasp) for now, yes as a European... no blocking, fast, never goes down.

So you can take advantage of the money but cry when ROI comes?

Alright. Here in Sweden I had 27C MAX.

Totally doable

Looks like it will top out at that.

We have had plenty 30C+ weather.

Costal helps. The elite.

Normal people will not know what Steam even is.

They will buy a PS5, Switch or Xbox.

If you know PC gaming you will just get a gaming desktop. With newer hardware.

Because a console is a console.

Look at the PS2. Incredible games on bespoke custom harware.

We didnt know how good we had it.

Mobile and fixed broadband is a separate infra/boxes (virtual).

LTE arch with the PGW handles IP allocation to devices

You frame "not bothering" as if its a checkbox with "enable IPv6" to check and all done...

Put all work into reorg, for what? Some numbers to change? Why when IPv4 works?
