What do you mean globally accessible? All the devices on my network have global IPv6 addresses for the last 5 years - since my ISP enabled IPv6 but none of them are accessible unless I configure it.

It's not just that the ISP will lower their costs for CGNAT, the users will also get a much better experience.

Trusted computing is fine and even good only if the owner (the person/company that bought the device) is in control, but it's not the world we live in.

xdg already provides "portals" and "XDG Intents" that implement most of what android does. Flatpak implements most of the sandboxing you have on android. It doesn't have feature parity but IMO it doesn't need to. CGroups and systemd-user can prevent apps from running in the background.

It's not Broadcom so it is supportable by OpenWrt. It runs Qualcomm IPQ5332 SoC which recently got supported in upstream linux ath12k drivers... There are a few patches to make it work and the only blocking issue is with the Realtek switch connected to the LAN ports.

N95 was not "meager" for it's time - it was faster than the first iPhone.

Mainly because Microsoft wants to have "connected standby": the CPU is running in a low power mode (not powered off like "old" S3 sleep), can be turned on periodically and can turn on other devices even when the computer is "sleeping".

My Zen2 based Lenovo laptop has 6-7 hours of battery when doing basic tasks in both Windows and Linux, but sleep on Linux lasts a week while on Windows it's empty in 24 hours.

This post is everything wrong with the world today. Installing software should not be gate-kept.

Who's to say that some current or future government in the US wouldn't use the data to prosecute dissent guaranteed by the constitution?

And it can fail in great ways. Last example: I asked claude for a non-trivial backup and recovery script using restic. I gave it the whole restic repo and it still made up parameters that don't exist in the code (but exist in a pull request that's been sitting not merged for 10+ months).

I think this is a snap issue.

And they are the only real solution. Demand fitting production is never going to work unless we give up all the autonomy.

SNI routing is such a bad way to do what should be L3 problem that people implemented PROXY protocol to send information about user's endpoint address without doing MITM.

All desktop/mobile OSes today use "Stable privacy addresses" for inbound traffic (only if you are hosting something long-term) and "Temporary addresses" for outbound traffic and P2P (video/voice calls, muliplayer games...) that change quickly (old ones are still assigned to not break long-lived connections but are not used for new ones).

You can do fc00::/7 in addition to public addresses so your lights don't have public address while your phone does.
