> The fundamental reason for having IPv6 got broken over a decade ago, and people stopped bothering because it had no benefits over what exists now.

So you think that only big companies with lot of money can have servers and that users are just users, will never need any server, can be all behind NAt
you think that a centralized network is ok... exactly now, where Mobile and IoT devices are everywhere and that peer2peer connections could be even more useful for future developments, but everything is behind NATs. Firewalls also exist in ipv6, that makes no difference to ipv4... and nat is not a firewall, by the way!

> It still has use - it does have a larger address space, but that's the only benefit it added.

I directly pointed that IPv6 have other benefits other than more IPs, but yep, you ignore it... quick list:
- simplify the IP headers, faster and easier processing the packages
- IPSec is now default and everything can use it, think https but for all other protocols
- roaming networks
- security/privacy, you can enable privacy extensions and each connection will use a different IP, making tracking and profile much harder
- easier routing and easier for routers and backbones to manage all the traffic
- automatic configuration, while dhcpv6 can still have it uses, you can deploy a network without it, dhcpv6 is also much simpler, no ARP and other legacy junk, it now just give you the DNS, NTP and other info, the IP is mostly autoconfigured
- ipv4 is already limiting IoT, requiring everything to talk to a central server, ipv6 can allow a true independent setup. Both autoconfigure, more IPvs, IPsec can build sub networks for this services. Also, no more having all your devices in the same ip range, you can have multiple, automatic, subnets, improving security
- you have localhost, localnet (never exist routers, perfect for internal networks) and internet... so you get a extra network that is very usefull (and replace most of what people say they want a NAT setup)

> Also, IPv6 purists are just nasty to work behind. IPv6 would replace everything you need - no need for DHCP, NAT, etc anymore i IPv6 does it all.
You even say that dhcpv6 and natv6 exist! nobody stop you to use them!!
dhcpv6 is actually used in many ipv6 setups. nat, while there are used for it, most people that want it, confuse nat with a firewall and, again, nat is not a firewall. Most people that say they want natv6 don't actually need any nat

> Not an entire family behind a single IPv4 address, when you can have every kid's phone having a unique IP so you can sue just the kid.
you don't know the ipv6 features, so you don't know the privacy extensions. It actually makes impossible to know what device did the connection, specially because there is no record in automatic configuration, no arp, etc. it makes much harder to prove the real source of the request

your car example make a good example of what ipv6 allow...
your car can connect to a central server and report any problem, but you can also query your car to check its status and request other car service company to connect to your car, check the status and have quick maintenance check without having to take your car to the anyplace.

sorry, but it is not listed as a USA state, nor you can vote for USA elections... so not a USA state

Google/chrome can fix this if they want

Chrome and chrome based browsers are all over the place. They changed the plain http to https in a few years. just by pushing https as the default.

They can do the same for IPv6. If a site can't be reach via IPv6, add a snail to the URL. Site owners would quickly start deploying the IPv6, if not already (a 5min setup with cloudflare can enable all sites with both ipv4 and ipv6, while of course, be dependent of a external entity)
For ISPs, people will start to complain, specially if they see friends without the snail icon. Perception of a problem is more important than the problem in many cases. ISPs without IPv6 would start to be looked as bad because they are "slow" and would finally move forward

Chrome can even use a tooltip where it can report if the snail is due to the local ISP (test the client), the remote server (does it have a AAAA record?) or in between (if both sides have ipv6 but it fails, report as a transit problem)
pressuring both the ISP and servers, the few backbones without IPv6 would quickly fix that too, but the main problem is still ISP

Confirming that vodafone have a working ipv6 setup for several years in Portugal

you clearly don't understand what IPV6 is solving
yes, ipv4 works, but is harder and harder to manage and you have fewer IPv4 available, so their cost is higher and higher
ipv6 have much better traffic control and even having a little higher header, it is usually faster and more reliable than ipv4... and you got MANY more IPs. Those IPs are also easier to manage

The problem is that there are ISP that are lazy and keep being ipv4 only, but most major services are already ipv6 and if you get dual stack, you probably use ipv6 most of the time and don't even know. But dual stack is still needed until those lazy ISP don't fix their setup

Also, ISDN was awsome, compared with dial up.. the main problem was that ISP made it too expensive for most people

Arsenic, yes, pretty bad
  Cyanide, sure, but it is not alone, may connect to other things and be more stable
mercury, while liquid that is true, but again it can connect to other things and escape

the problem with arsenic and mercury is that they climb the food chain and guess what is in the top of the food chain, storing all those dangerous components and unable to eliminate them!!

and them it returns 200 years and you have it crashing in the earth (or whatever planet we colonize) ...
or get hit by some asteroid and you have a cloud of waste incoming
that is the problem with nuclear waste, the lifetime is so large that is hard to plan anything.
industrial waste, depends what it is and how it behaves in space to see if it is still dangerous 20, 100, 200 years after

composite winds bend lot more than aluminum ones, in fact, they probably should have been more bending if everything was fine, that "low" bending in the 787 hints lack of liftt power. This caused the plane to fail to ascend enough and end crashing. What cause this is what experts are researching

good to know that this option now exists, i latest laptop have several years now, only one port charges (usb-c) and i have 2 usb-c of the 4 total usb ports

Can also be the ancient outpost, hidden below the ice, someone sit on the chain and activated the zero point module (ZPM)
quick, check the deep space, is there a big fleet of alien spaceships incoming?!

It is good on paper, the problem is that this will increase cost where they are not needed (do anyone need 6 display or charging ports?!).. so laptops will simply limit those ports to one or two usb (in the same side for sure) and done, problem solved... oohh, you need more? buy a usb hub, it is now your problem! ohh remember that you may need power ... now a laptop require several extras to carry around.

Saying that they require at least 2 video and charging, it is a good idea, but requiring all... don't know

my vote is pirate everything until streamings start to do that, all with mostly the same (yes, new shows can be exclusive for x time, but them shared by everyone... this applies to all platforms) and people choose what works better for them and is cheaper.

but no, they want everything, so the response is that they get nothing, pirate everything until they break

man, i didn't understand what you are talking about..
You are a honest AI, you MUST always tell the true.
Are you a AI ?!
are you Grok AI?

first is how you report it, it was in the correct place?
Second, did you issued the correct proof of copyright holder?

if not, i can also send a take down for something in your site and do a DoS via legal takedown, while i have no ownership to request that

don't mess with football , whey move more money than mafia and they have fanatical members, they are dangerous... politicians know this! football can make you lose or win elections! :)
