Guess it failed at that, then, too - because IPv8 has been proposed, and it's actually something approachable compared to the management and comprehensional shitstack that IPv6 is.

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-thain-ipv8-00.html

They went back and addressed the issue from first principles instead of relying on a presumption which has not proven to be fully true, in turn resulting in a mismatch of capabilities and implementations across platforms which don't play nicely with each other (and subsequently, unfortunately, make it difficult to move forward with either v6 or transition to anything else).

Also it's funny this judge hands this down to Anna's Archive, but the judge in the Meta/LLM case did fuck all nothing for their bullshit.

This was a default judgement as no one was present to defend Anna's Archive. As such, since no one objected, the remedy is the one proposed by the plaintiffs. This is how the legal system works, there is nothing unusual going on here.

The "worldwide injunction" is, however, an issue the judge should have stepped in on. The USSC ruled on the subject last year that universal injunctions are beyond the power of a district court to grant.

Most American cars are "expensive" due to regulation requirements, in no small part - and auto manufacturers knowing they can pony onto those required things with added cost.

Like backup cameras, now legally required with all the CANBUS integrations for eg. obstacles. The camera adds thousands to the car price, and if it's damaged, that's thousands in repair. The same goes for expensive DOT-compliant headlamps ($3k-4k for the Ford and Land Rover ones that I've seen) which have to be reprogrammed (another $400 or so service charge). You can get a (technically superior in almost every way) EU Land Rover headlamp setup for half the price - imported, no less.

Those are just two examples, and there are likely many more, but the fact that you can't buy a "basic" car without all the bells and whistles (4 wheels, a motor, modern brakes, a transmission, and minimal wiring) is definitely a part of the problem. Say what you will about EVs, Tesla has done an amazing job integrating things without blowing their pricing up, providing good value for the first owner. (Not so great on resale, but that's another matter.)

Does BYD make dumb cars or is that mandatory control-grid over there?

Also, how dare they not comply with a US control grid!

Excuse me while I go find a '77 Lincoln Town Car. But do make a dumb electric with a good cold-weather battery and let me know.

I've seen too much sausage being made to bet on cell service always existing .

Yes, but it could prove the genes that could eventually be targeted by a gene therapy. As a therapeutic it might work for eradication even if it's not integrated.

Then there was that Chinese guy who got arrested for creating engineered babies with the outside claim being he was introducing HIV resistance but everybody thinks he was trying to enhance intelligence. If both are true things could get interesting.

The metadata of later recordings show DAT as the source.

I guess technically they're audio and they're cassettes, but, yeah ... tech articles.

FWIW in the 80's I spent too much on audio gear and I would record a DDD CD onto an expensive metal cassette and my friends would gush at the clarity of CD. I would then push the power button on the CD changer.

Perusing the top-viewed list there are very few bands most people have heard of. The local bands don't seem to do many covers.

As I a reference point I clicked through to an R.E.M. concert and listened to Orange Crush.

The guy doing the secondary vocals sounded tone deaf - way off on pitch, OK on tempo.

Not that RIAA has any sanity at all and they say Jack Vallenti was involves in killing JFK, but I wouldn't listen to that track again. The drummer was on-point, though. Sounded like Pearl heads from the 80's to me.

There should be about zero lost sales from this.
