Wait, why are we talking about Layer 7 when NAT and firewalls are Layer 4 at best?

Consumer router firewalls are generally trash

[Citation needed]

They are literally piggybacking on the netfilter module of Linux. I don't see how that's trash

I reckon I see most IPv6 complainers are from the US though...

In my country, turning on IPv6 is not really something ceremonial, it's just literally clicking on the IPv6 checkbox. The default configurations set in the router are good enough for an average home user, firewalls and all that security jazz are enabled by default.

The DNS didn't break just because I enabled IPv6, nor did my phone apps stop working. Life goes on, and I have gotten rid of that terrible CGNAT. Somehow this is not the case for many US users across multiple ISPs, I have heard IPv6 horror stories from Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T. Like how did you manage to do that?

The word you are looking for is firewall not NAT.

NAT does not provide security whatsoever. If the NAT mapped your (internal IP, internal port) to a certain (external IP, external port) and you do not have a firewall enabled, everyone can reach your device by simply connecting to that (external IP, external port).

I haven't seen routers that do not come with IPv6 firewalls enabled by default.

Also, icons. The icons in Windows XP are too recognizable. You need to minimalize them. In fact, minimalize it so hard that not one person could understand what the icon is even referring to.

I don't think the battery argument is convincing enough to me unfortunately, since it's more likely that the recent increase in battery capacity is due to battery chemistry improvements rather than increased physical size.

I mean, I have two similar sized phones from different eras. One had 3000mAh, another had 5000mAh. They both include a headphone jack.

I am trying to. My current phone has a headphone jack. But I fear that the possibility of getting a high-end phone with a headphone jack is diminishing.

I don't see how the jack can make a phone less appealing? 99% of the time you'll be looking at the screen, you're not going to see the headphone jack.

Though, perhaps it's because of lifestyle differences between countries (I am not American), I simply cannot imagine not using the 3.5mm jack ever. I am still using AUX on my car radio.

I am not so sure about the waterproofability of headphone jacks, but does it benefit to make phones even "thinner and lighter"?

I still don't quite get why some people are defending manufacturers which remove the headphone jack on their phones...

3.5mm jacks don't cost much materially. Removing it doesn't bring any benefit at all, and you are forced to buy a bluetooth headphone or a Type-C-to-3.5mm dongle on top of that.

orangeboats , to Reddit in Reddit if full of bots: thread reposted exactly the same, comment by comment, 10 months later

I've noticed that many Reddit users with the username format Word_Word_Number (for example Absolute_Bot_1230) are almost guaranteed to either be a bot or extremely inflammatory -- it's like everything they post is meant to generate controversies.
