Very few ISPs intentionally block inbound TCP.

One U.S. ISP that technically blocks inbound TCP over IPv6 is T-Mobile Home Internet (fixed wireless). The gateway appliance included with the plan offers no way to forward a port to the subscriber's computer. (Source) I've read that most major U.S. ISPs threaten to disconnect a home subscriber for running a publicly accessible server. (Source)

IPv6-only [...] site is inaccessible to users stuck on legacy networks

One large legacy network in the U.S. is Frontier fiber, which is still IPv4-only in 2026.

rivals like AMD and Intel offer competitive specs on paper, but their software stacks have struggled with bugs, compatibility issues, and weak adoption. As a result, Nvidia has built an Apple-like moat around AI computing, leaving the industry dependent on its expensive hardware.

Nvidia's competitors need to work together to improve open-source software tooling and to standardize hardware interfaces, or else go the way of Commodore and Tandy.

Printer is IPv6 only?

What I'm saying is that if everyone had IPv6 in their homes and offices, remote access wouldn't require all the silly cloud server games. You could just hit the device directly by its IPv6 address, and assuming your router suppoerts UPNP pinholes, you're done. You'd need dynamic DNS and that's it.

I can understand the remote printing (not on the same network) part. But only up to the point where something jams and I'm not there to yank the plug and untangle it before it gets hopelessly borked.

An emergency stop button in the app should be able to do the same thing. If that's not possible, it's a rather bad design flaw.

Also, if something jams in a way that could cause meaningful damage (beyond having to brush blobs of filament off of the hot end) and the printer doesn't detect it, that's also a rather bad design flaw.

"The only silver lining of Trump's demented Iran war is diesel hitting $6 per gallon and the sound of all those F150 tears."

150s don't run on diesel. Only Dodge has a half ton diesel pickup because only they have a mid sized diesel engine. Ford uses turbo gas motors for that market. Those are F250 and larger tears.

Most people don't know the difference between a SUV and a CUV, which is because the manufacturers deliberately created confusion on that point in order to sell vehicles consumers were rejecting. Most people don't know the difference between full frame and unibody either, they only know whether the vehicle crashes over bumps or not. It's irrelevant because it's irrelevant to the majority of buyers, who don't know shit about shit

"the Lightning was always a glorified grocery getter for people who didn't use a pickup for a work-use. It was suburban vehicle for those that didn't want to have an SUV. It was an upscale minivan that you could put plywood and crap in the back - if you didn't care about messing up your $70,000 truck. It was a great vehicle - but it wasn't a "Truck"."

Trucks are heavy vehicles. They're defined in the code as such. The lightning is a pickup. Like the lightning it was named after, it's not a great one in terms of maximum pickup ability. It's a lot more useful than the last one, though.

Which, of course, is AWESOME.

A human who knows something will reject an obviously wrong answer, but since the LLM knows literally nothing and the AI companies won't pay for it to check even its own work (which won't solve the problem but will REDUCE the major fails) it will just happily shit out a catastrophe.
