I recently changed the USB port of my Fairphone 4 and it was just unscrewing and screwing.

why are you changing a USB port on a phone?

Yeah, Linksys made a killing from this and the WRT54GS 2.0 because of OpenWRT.

Reminds me of the time when Joseph Touch (I think his name was) proposed the NULL cipher in TLS. "It's just a proposal."

Any suggestions for online program / distance learning (I'm in Australia)? I want a proper challenge not a walk in the park.

Is this the tool that blasted away all the wiki pages for Azure in the repos?

Ah just realised no iOS release, that's a non-starter.

Let me put it this way: using my car's console controls are more distracting than using CarPlay with siri/voice control. If I'm uncomfortable though I would be in a worse shape driving, hence there's a need to set climate.

How does it handle browser autofill. What if you have to fill in a box that has a non-standard label? These are things I rely on with 1Password.

I don't know about Rivian, but I'm generally less distracted on the road with CarPlay due to Siri & Voice Control. I wish I could extend it to my native car controls such as climate control etc.

If said videos or media are doing that, there would be a corpus of samples by now. I'm very sceptical of this.

I'm guessing none to be honest. It sounds plausible but in practice it's probably too difficult to do anything useful compared to other tried and true vectors.

Everyone goes to the extremes when it comes to these theories and throws out all aspects of pragmatism.

How many victims are known to be exploited by video codecs? Compare that with the wider landscape of how victims are being exploited.

Looking at the comments from the previous thread at least on Android looks like you need to root the device. I'm not sure that is still required.

E2EE done properly is why. See 1Password security whitepaper for how.

OP was making the case that CGNAT adds to the latency in some significant way. Yes it adds latency, but it is of negligible concern.

You do realise that mobile usage is a subset of the Internet and the Internet is not just about end user connectivity.

But you still haven't addressed my original point, how has IPv6 averted the impending (at the time) IP exhaustion problem? As I remember it, we were running out of IP addresses, then we did run out, and CGNAT helped extend the life of the Internet for people on IP, while v6 still remains an island that is optional and doesn't help alleviate any of the pain.

TL;DR: v6 is not fit for purpose.

NAT / CGNAT has been doing the heavy lifting extending the life of the Internet; ipv6 has done jack shit. If v6 was useful and actually averted v4 exhaustion we'd all be accessing v6 sites/addresses at this point.

Put another way, we can drop v6 completely and the Internet will still work. Obviously wouldn't work the other way around.

As for telco addressing handsets, they could use any addressing scheme to be honest. When people talk about averting address exhaustion, they're not talking about internal addressing of networks, different problem altogether.

It was also predicted that the address exhaustion problem would be averted, in fact that was the purpose of v6. It failed to deliver.
