Freevee was, in my opinion, always meant to be rolled into Prime.
Here's the order of operations:
And voila, ads are now on Prime.
Yeah but those systems shouldn't be connected to the open internet at all. Even if you don't want to airgap them, they should be behind a network topology that prevents them from connecting out freely, or accepting random connections inward.
It's not about connecting to the open internet. The OP was talking about Cisco completely dropping ipv4 support. Cisco is a major supplier of industrial ethernet switches and routers, so that isn't going to happen. These industrial machines use ipv4 to talk to each other, and it *has* to be ipv4 because a lot of them predate the ipv6 standard, and there is no upgrade path to enable ipv6 support.
Cisco will never end ipv4. Not anytime in the near or mid future, at least. The industrial vertical makes up a big chunk of their profit nowadays, and a large number of companies are running old hardware on plant floors. Think million dollar stamping presses and injection molding machines and CNC mills that run on OS/2 and Windows NT. These things must be networked to support the production execution system, coordinating with conveyors, robots, PLCs, inventory systems, SPC and inspection systems, etc...
It's the same reason a company still sells a PDP-11 emulator.
When I went to Vegas a few months ago I managed to walk across a dozen casino floors without spending a dime. The only thing remotely appealing was the Sigma Derby machine at the D, mainly because it's the only one left in the world, and it's an amazing piece of engineering.

I dropped $50 at the Pinball Museum though.
Or alternatively, and stop me if you think this is crazy, whether someone you don't know chooses to die or not is none of your goddamned business,
I agree 100%.
and if they are unable to carry it out in a way that causes as little suffering at all, and seek out professional medical assistance then again, providing they are of sound mind, it's none of your goddamned business.
Nope. The second a medical professional is involved, society gets a say in what happens.
Here's a related example. In the US, the rules on involuntary committal to a mental institution were made much stricter, mostly by court case law. The courts had found that a lot of people were being involuntarily committed to metal institutions because their family members wanted power of attorney so they could take their money. In other words, siblings or children were having their relatives committed so they can get money. The courts found this wasn't isolated or rare, but widespread.
Now, extrapolate that mentality to assisted suicide. I'm not saying it should be banned, but it must be very tightly regulated and audited.
My grandma's cousin lived in Eureka California near the coast in a nice open plan ranch house. Air conditioning was handled by a couple of oscillating fans and windows that opened. Heat was supplied by two extra incandescent lamps she'd leave on at night, and a Franklin stove for the one month out of the year it gets down into the 50s.
An amazingly efficient system for her. It wouldn't quite cut it where we live, when it's well below freezing for a third of the year with almost no sun, then into the 90s and 100s for two months of the year with high humidity.
My son's coach has the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and uses them to take pictures during competitions. He says, though it's the only reason he bought them, it keeps his hands free to use his walkie talkies to talk to the other coaches and refs, check his clipboard, and do hand signals. He keeps them in a mode that records everything, so when something cool happens, he says "Save that picture" and the last few seconds are stored away. He got some amazing pictures that would have been missed if he had to pull a camera up or his phone out.
It's a niche use case, but it works remarkably well.
