Funny how Google's role is basically a footnote at the end of Krebs' article. "Infoblox also pointed out that recent policy changes by Google may have inadvertently increased the risk"

Over 20-25 years Google pushed for and normalized a system which prevented domain owners from having any control over the content on their parked sites. That was marginally acceptable when it was Google controlling the sites, but now that they're gone it leaves the doors wide open to abusive actors.

Google bought Oingo over 20 years ago, pushed Adsense out to domain parking companies, raised payouts to force Yahoo/Overture out of the market, then started progressively dialing back payouts over the past 10-15 years. The changes they made last year crushed payouts to the point that nearly all parking companies had to switch to lower-quality ad networks or close down.

What do you think happens when there's a giant power vacuum in a multi-billion dollar market? Of course unscrupulous actors swept in.

Anyone else annoyed at this tendency to measure things in ridiculous units?

They couldn't say how many chips, or FLOPs, or even TOPS... no, let's say how much power the chips will consume.

Have you seen the surveys? Have you seen the extended census questionnaire?

The designers have ZERO regard for the respondents' time. ZERO. They are obviously the products of govt bureaucracy. "We need to ask this, we need to ask that, we need to ask again two other ways" "Sure boss, got it in here (haha, sucks to be the person answering this survey)"

These have been predicted for ages, now they're finally coming out.

From the earlier comments it sounds like a lot of people don't see the point... well, a considerable amount of people want 4k for work/text clarity, and high refresh for gaming, and additionally don't want/like the current crop of 32" monitors due to size or "seeing pixels" (pixel density too low) Many consider 24"-27" the sweet spot for action gaming since you can see the whole screen at once, with 32" being a little too big.

So few understand that. Wish I had mod points. If this were reddit I'd go buy an award to give you. A++ to you for quoting Sowell!

100% this ^

The people who had addressing problems have switched, the rest of us who are "doing just fine" with IPV4 have no incentive to put up with the extra complexity.

Here's the link to the 2024 win: https://maa.org/news/usa-first... [maa.org]

tfa is to the 2015 win.

So Mozilla/FF can do what all the congresspeople do: game the system

A few vm's running FF browsing various US govt sites 24x7 and they're back above the threshold.

OK... low user id. NOW it's 2003. :D

And yeah, /. staff is really into the baity headlines. Calling it "globally recognized" is false.

No they have gotten worse.

My office had a Comcast Business plan and needed faster upload (it was capped at 25 Mbps) but they wouldn't sell us anything faster, so we had to get a different service and cancel Comcast. Tried to cancel online, but you have to call.

Main call center wanted us to deal with a business sales rep, but he wouldn't help cancel, so I called the number on the bill and said cancel, that rep claimed the retention dept was closed for the day and call back tomorrow... called back the next day and oh, sorry, no one in retention is available (it was mid-afternoon, no claiming they're closed) Had it out with that rep who finally said they'd submit a request to cancel and send a label to mail back the modem.

Of course they didn't actually cancel and no label came. I stopped the autopay right after that call and they took 3 mos to terminate for nonpayment. Collections notices started a month later. Mentioned it to the company lawyer who said it's all invalid because we cancelled, not to pay, and wait to see what they do, chances are nothing happens.

Other articles say it was a dozen rigs and that he used about $17.5k of electricity. This is hardly newsworthy. A stolen car is worth more. And they used CGIS for it? I bet the govt wasted more money investigating and charging the guy than he earned from his little farm.

And claiming it won't be shared, when the feds can just show up with a national security letter.

Counting coins that moved on a certain date as acquired for cash on that date is moronic. Giving play to articles like this is just feeding traffic to clickbaiters. Oh wait, looking at the ads at the bottom of the page, that's what slashdot is now. Pathetic.

Sounds like a solution to rising sea levels - just move all that water inland! /s

Next they'll say Tuvalu and coastal states should pay for the pipeline.

Zoho is very good. I've been using their free version for a family domain for about 6 years.

I've recommended it to a couple friends over the years who wound up using the paid version for their companies and they are happy too.
