I did phone them to request the static /56, and to assign PTRs. I didn't try requesting the /56 before I called them so I can't say whether that would have worked or not. If you're saying it would have I'll believe you.

Fascinating. The resellers, particularly TechSavvy have ipv6. For TechSavvy I believe it was dynamic /64 by default but static /56 for free on request.

It does. I don't know about bluetooth but it doesn't work with a usb-c keyboard. At least on the Clara BW the experience is bad, as there is a subtantial delay after each keypress and any keys pressed during it are dropped.

So I was part of a very small company (<15 people) that was bought by a mid-sized company that otherwise had no presence in our country.

Leadership left and there was a few years where no one else in the office was in the same teams or reporting chains. The majority of people were in a single office in another company. I found it very difficult to participate and was left out of most decisions. Then covid hit and everything changed. With everyone working from home remote networking opportunities were built, I was an equal part of every discussion. Now I am in a large fortune 500 organization with a mix of working arrangements and I don't have any issues networking. I like to think we do a pretty good job with junior participation as well. The main thing I'm missing is the rumour mill and the pulse on what unrelated roles like sales/finance are saying on the ground.

The acronym is new to me: Facebook, Anthropic, Google, openAi?

About 20 years ago I learned if I took my laptop to class and typed my notes I didn't retain nearly as well as if I took a pen and notebook.

I was in computer science in Canada and probably 5-10% of people brought laptops to class as far as I recall. A few people had to use the labs, but most students had their own computer or laptop at that time.

The problem may be that it's a 7800XT which handles memory contention by freezing.

I have 32GB of RAM with 16GB VRAM and I haven't had a lot of luck running larger models like this. Are you able to expand on that?

There are certainly rats in Hamilton and Toronto; and I had the misfortune of dealing with them in my home at one point. They ate through (or under) the crawl space, and they would eat through anything we tried to store food in.

Unlike the sibling though I couldn't claim a nice neighborhood, it was near a soy processing factory.

I grew up in Orillia, but my siblings and I all moved to your city. At the time it was just the closest to Toronto I could afford because all jobs are in Toronto. This city has grown on me, I wouldn't want to be any closer to Toronto.

Toronto still has a Pet User Group (TPUG) which runs the World of Commodore conference every year. https://www.tpug.ca/

It might be the closest thing remaining; though unfortunately I was too young to participate in the hay-day of computer hobby clubs.
