I'm glad to see somebody is getting some data on this, I feel bad memory is one of the most underrated issues in computing generally. I'd like to see a more detailed writeup on this, like a short whitepaper.

I was recently searching for NiMH charging ICs, turns out they basically don't exist. Most devices which charge their NiMH batteries implement low CC charging, which is slow. It's a shame, because NiMH batteries do have their advantages (safety, ease of finding replacements, etc.) and can be recharged fairly quickly if the charger is smart enough.

>You can't just assume UTF-8

But I will, because in this day and age, I should be perfectly able to do so. Non-use of UTF-8 should be simply considered a bug and not treating text as UTF-8 should frankly be a you problem. At least for anything reasonably modern, by which I mean made in the last 15 years at least.

It's not wrong though. Besides North America, there are major carriers in India, France who use IPv6-only networks (with 464XLAT), and I know several South American and Asian countries have them as well. In fact, India is a world leader in IPv6 adoption. Nowadays it's a very common for mobile networks to be IPv6-only because these providers haven't been able to secure large Ipv4 subnets in the early days. Ironically, they have the most devices. However, this is also the reason why phones work much better with XLAT than Windows or Linux.

You are correct, Czechia is a parliamentary democracy. Usually, the government is formed by the parties that together have a legislative majority in the lesser chamber.

I should clarify that this is not a law, rather a "government decision" (a la "executive order") on how to act on it's law. Forgive me, I'm not well versed in legal English, and the systems are quite different.

Allow me to append a short summary in English:

- The Czech government adopted a new directive titled "The restart of DNSSEC and IPv6 enrollment in the government"

- Until yesterday, no administration on the European continent has made such a decisive step as setting a end-of-support date for IPv4

- Selected date is highly symbolic, the 6th of June, 2032, the 20th anniversary of the World IPv6 day

- This decision has already sparked discussion on the RIPE NCC forums

- "It's a signal to all internet players to take IPv6 seriously"

- Nevertheless, the EU itself has already taken even greater leap towards IPv6 adoption

Yes, I meant upload, sorry. Downloading from a page is trivial. I was more concerned ith the case of grandma sending a picture or similar.
