Mobile IPv6 was supposed to be a thing, and was going to be a great tool in the use of predictable IPv6 addresses on portable devices like laptops, but while my Debian kernels still seem to have Mobile IPv6 (mip6) active in them, I can't find any current information on how to actually make use of this.

WWV/WWVH are on 2.5/5/10/20 MHz, not 6/1020. I believe Radio Havana still transmits on 6.000 MHz, at least sometimes.

Canada here. Hi. I live in a small city of 250,000 and we have five commercial-free radio stations here, including our community radio station.

I liberated mine from Micro Center to Canada, and so far, so good.

If we'd pay more for stuff, they'd probably fix it for us.

Retailers can provide friendlier plugs, but it will likely raise product prices. If we demand them, though, companies will provide them.

https://www.amazon.com/Etekcit... Like these ones, as a simple example.

These things (or other similar ones by other companies) are a godsend, even if they are somewhat overpriced. I must have 30 or 40 of them in my house.

You can also get long power bars with as many as ten outlets that are well spaced - enough to permit use of most wall wart-type plugs without needing these cords.

1/50 as fast by clockrate, and probably 1/200 the performance because of the gains in efficiency made by modern processors. Clock rate isn't everything, else the 3 GHz Pentium 4s would still be among the fastest CPUs available in performance (and they aren't).

I still have a pair of these - one's my offsite backup machine - and they still work well, although the single USB port is becoming a limiting factor.

Other codecs give better audio quality with smaller filesizes (e.g. Ogg Vorbis), but transcoding lossy to lossy makes things even lossier.

Personally, I use FLAC at home and I use MP3 where I have to, and Ogg Vorbis where I can, when file size is more important than audio quality.

Your point may be correct, or it may not be, but I don't want what I want decided by others. Give me lossless - remember, I had it (and still do) with CDs - don't take quality away from me without the option of retaining it.

iTunes still rips CDs for you, although there are better tools for the job.

There's a difference. Floppy disks became obsolete because of lack of storage capacity. CDs are becoming obsolete because music listeners these days value convenience over quality and actually owning their music.

Give us that, and losslessly, and we'll talk.

Copy-protected CDs lack the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" logo on their packaging, which speaks volumes. It has to be a CD by the standard to display the logo, and copy-protected discs don't meet the standard.

Pringles cans are resonant at about 2.4 GHz, so really high UHF. Not the ideal frequencies for TV channels, although if the signal is strong enough, even a paper clip will work.
