According to https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html, Java 8 Extended Support will end in December 2030

The problem is some authors signing exclusivity deal with Amazon, which means breaking the DRM and converting it is the only way to read it on a different e-reader.

It is a single address with an associated subnet mask, indicating what subnet the address is in.

The subnet would be 3fff:a1:1ab:bc67::/64, for the top one.

Looks like it’s taken a page from PowerShell in passing structured data rather than just text.

What do you mean? That’s literally just using the service as intended.

I find it weird when you get “pwd” as a variable

The same thing spam e-mails have claimed to have done for ages

When did they have games on tape?

OK, bad examples. On the other hand e.g. X, GitHub, Pornhub, PSN, Steam or Discord do not support IPv6.

I know this is humor, but for the record this wouldn’t work. Each simultaneous TCP connection needs a unique four-tuple (source address, source port, destination address, destination port). If a lot the people behind the NAT try to connect to the same place (destination address and port) at the same time (something popular like Google, YouTube or Netflix), and their source address is the same, the source port needs to be different for each connection. So after at most 65535 connections within a short time the NAT would run out of ports and no one behind the same NAT would be able to open new connections to the same place until the NAT mapping expiries.

So you could have at most tens of thousands of people behind the same NAT, maybe even fewer to make it reliable.

This article really needs some illustration of what the new UI looks like, and what the old one looks like for comparison

And now AMDGPU-PRO has dropped the proprietary OpenGL and Vulkan drivers and AMF, so the only thing you would get from it that’s different from the open stack is the OpenCL driver and maybe AMDVLK. https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-AMDGPU-UNIFIED-LINUX-25-10-1.html

We’ve been without a lot of things for millennia

No, they just include libarchive in Windows

I’ve only gotten that when I’ve mistyped the encryption password. They really should improve the handling of that.

This is something that Rust is specifically designed to prevent.

Not sure if Google Lens counts as AI, but Circle to Search is a cool feature.

Not to the point where it’s worth having a button for it permanently taking up space at the bottom of the screen.

On a lot of phones you can hide the navigation pill, but Samsung started forcibly showing it when they added Circle to Search. Fortunately I don’t have a Samsung phone.

They’re also generally lower quality

A big blocker that the article surprisingly doesn’t talk about is tons of IoT stuff that uses 2G and 3G. Stuff like alarm systems, emergency phones, street light control, cars etc. Here in Sweden there was recently a report that thousands of elevators have emergency phones using 2G and 3G, and if the network is shut down you would no longer be allowed to use those elevators. And since 2018 all new cars in the EU has to have eCall, which alerts emergency services on a crash. Many of these use 2G and 3G, and if it stops working the car won’t pass inspection so you’ll no longer be allowed to drive it.

A robot doesn’t need to be anthropomorphic, an assembly line robot is still a robot. It does however need to be able to perform some actions autonomously, for which a vibrator hardly qualifies.
