A couple of questions:

1. Does eigrpd now do a better job supporting IPv6 as a routing protocol?

2. How is its load balancing capabilities?

Right. Only switch to it if you're running it on an appliance, such as a router or firewall. You can convert that router into multiple things - multihoming, firewall, routing, DHCP services

As I noted above, it's the perfect firewall OS, and so you can have that on an appliance. If you get an OpenBSD VM, you can configure it not just as a firewall, but also add multihoming, routing and DHCP services to it. Then feed it to a switch or a WAP, and distribute that secured internet to all the nodes within your network. Only thing that I'd switch from is OpenWRT or OPNsense or pFsense or RouterOS, not from something like Cachy Linux or MidnightBSD or Windows or macOS

If you are playing Steam games, do not move to this - continue using SteamOS or macOS or Windows. Similarly, if you have a FreeBSD server for your web, smtp/imap and other services, just stay w/ it. Same for if you are using some Linux distro for your daily driver: this is not the BSD distro to switch to. It's a security demon, so use it exclusively for that, in the ways I mentioned above

Precisely! It's a great firewall OS, and one can even toss in routing, multihoming and being a DHCP server for a switch. It's not the platform on which to play your latest Steam title - use SteamOS for that

This OS would be mainly used as a firewall/router OS, and so most suitable for "appliances" - routers, firewalls and the like. It's not likely to be one's gaming computer or where one goes to post to social media

Once one recognizes that, OpenBSD isn't what one would install on, say, a 32-core CPU. For such a thing, first put a hypervisor on, and then assign a certain number of CPUs to OpenBSD

They too can use AI to do projects. In fact, those students can do projects that come to mind, w/ AI helping them code every step of the way. Then they can try testing those, and see what they get

This trend is cyclical, and has been since the 90s. Glut in the RAM market leads to price erosion, which lead to a slowdown in manufacturing. In the meantime, those low prices tend to spur new designs that use plenty of it, spiking the demand, then creating a shortage which leads to a ramp up in manufacturing, which then leads to another glut

Unless and until the AI bubble bursts, don't expect RAM prices to come down anytime soon. Also, by now, it's well known that this is a volatile market, making it unlikely for new entrants. Even while it's littered w/ the skeletons of companies like Qimonda

It does too many things. The latest being age-verification, in response to laws by some US states and Brazil. Too much for an init system

How many Arm based Windows laptops have sold from anybody? Any Wintel user who bought them could only have lived w/ them if s/he had no legacy Wintel-only software that needed to run on it. But if they needed software that was not cloud-only and whose ISOs they had in Wintel, they'd have been SOL on it here

In that case, Linux could have supported the first generation of Snapdragon based Windows laptops. It doesn't, since the firmware is very different from the UEFI firmware on Wintel laptops

Why bother about x86 emulation, when iCore Ultra and Ryzen is gonna beat you all day long?

Cool! Hopefully, at some point soon, the BSDs - NetBSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD - will add support for it

A company also has the option of publishing its HDL models openly, w/o violating any license, since this is an MIT licensed CPU. (Why they might want to is another story)

RISC-V is still relatively new, just like Arm was in the 00s. Once there are a variety of Arm vendors, it will be a different story

I was under the impression that Espressif had used Tensor cores, and later migrated to RISC-V. I had no idea of any products in which they used Arm

Really? Yesterday, as a test, I asked different AI models (CoPilot, Gemini, Brave Leo/Qwen, Venice AI) what they thought about Trump's rebranding of Artificial Intelligence as "Super Intelligence". All of the others pointed out that Super Intelligence is a term that already exists for a class of intelligence, but Qwen, which is a Chinese model, told me that Trump was not the current president of the US. Gave me my first AI hallucination

The claim about Chinese AI being superior or even competitive is highly overblown
