Many people won't watch a video, especially not a 16 minutes long one. I know I won't. Use written words.

The corollary being that citizens of democratic countries have the leaders they deserve.

Many people maliciously conflate "climate change" with "man-made climate change".

Where I live it's not illegal to pirate software for personal use.

Also, taking someone's car or food deprives them of them. Making a copy of Windows doesn't make it impossible for Microsoft to keep selling it.

Windows doesn't cost money because I pirate it. I could pirate this program as well but it's probably going to be harder to find a clean, recent version of it.

I'd rather Microsoft spent developer time on useful stuff and not updating dialogs.

Yes. I ended up buying a GWM5610 which synchronises through radio. It's cool. But still I would have hoped there would be a better "local" (i.e. self-reliant) solution.

I love my GWM5610, the only thing I dislike is how hard to press the buttons are and the bad display angles. But other than that it's a damn brick. And the radio sync is magic.

I bought one of those recently and I was surprised by how inaccurate it was. It drifted like 15 seconds every month. From what I've been reading, that is normal, but I was surprised - with all the technological advances that we have it is odd to think that cheap timekeeping is not a solved problem yet!

Also: how is the software of these watches without a CPU designed? Is it something like Verilog or whatever?

>IRC has had encryption for a very long time. IRCS is typically on port 6697 but some admins also have it listen on 443 for people behind fascist firewalls.

Transit encryption maybe, but admins can still read everything.

My problem with people saying stuff like this in the open is that we all know it's not true - by recommending it to others, or even saying it out loud for others to hear, they are wasting the time of those who try it. It's malicious.

>Some devices coming out now from Google, etc. are IPv6-only and do not support 6rd tunnels at all.

I find this very, very hard to believe. I haven't found anything online. Can you give me some pointers?

>Possible further benefit, reaching India and China who certainly aren't issuing IPv4.

All Indian and Chinese websites have ipv4 addresses in case I wanted to reach them.

I think people should come to terms to the fact that everybody is moving to cgnat and the world is not falling apart as they said it would.
