Agreed. Not much differences between new phones and couple years older phones if you are not doing crazy gaming on phones. At least for me but maybe some of you might have good reasons to upgrade and can tell us ?

Yes you can! It was done with many phones in the past...

Obviously... They are not made for safety critical systems. It's for hobbyists.

> You don't need long cables, just a local power source

Which means batteries that have to be replaced and maintained or cables... So ethernet with PoE or even better SPE (single pair Ethernet) with PoDL (power over data lines which is PoE for SPE) is the best from my point of view

SPE with multidrop and PoDL would be awesome ! They are working on that and it will be everywhere.

And it is not stopping people from steal IPhones as they can resell parts as usual.

Europe has good software companies. It's just that the US has bigger VC funding which makes European companies unable to compete when US/EU companies are "fighting".

Using multiple vehicles also increase maintenance. It totally makes sense to use the right tool. You might not want to learn how to use a screw driver instead of a hammer but both have their use.

His exemple makes sense... Loading 100kb for a simple page that should/could be static is not fine.

Most people do not understand any of the authorizations they give to apps and don't want to have to understand it. They will be interested in it only after they got burned. They just want a thing that "works and do x, y and z" without having to worry about it. I think the problem is that big corp got them used to easy security because nobody cared before but now that security is getting harder, big corp has no choice but to gave a sense of security they promised but cannot give anymore.

New comment by albuic in "The IPv6 Transition"

albuic — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 09:30:55 +0000

So you had to learn IPv6 the same way you learned IPv4. The question is: was it harder ? It seems you wanted to know IPv6 without learning it because you thought it would be the same as IPv4. And yes the Free boxes are hard to work with if you don't want to mess with vlan and still have TV services.

On the contrary, I would say that this is a garage you rent on a public space. The internet is open and I can do requests to any server. If you don't want your system to answer me, make sure it does not. If I am in front of an ATM on the public street, it doesn't give me money without authorization. Make sure your server does the same.

If the encryption info is derived from the password it can be done without visual encryption keys for the user. It is the case with Firefox Sync. They have no way to recover the data if you forget the password.
