I think you're right. It would hinge on the natural-born-citizen clause and that's probably hard to "reinterpret" even for a loaded court.

For my part I didn't mind that so much in Cyberpunk 2077, I just played it multiple times with different V characters.

But then I can see that it's a big time investment and not good for everyone.

I'll just quote the OpenWRT Wiki here, because I think half the comments here confuse mesh and roaming:

Are you sure you want a mesh?

If you are looking for a solution to enable your user devices to seamlessly roam from one access point to another in your home, you need 802.11r (roaming), not 802.11s.

It is unfortunate that some manufacturers have used the word “Mesh” for marketing purposes to describe their non-standard, closed source, proprietary “roaming” functionality and this causes great confusion to many people when they enter the world of international standards and open source firmware for their network infrastructure.

• The accepted standard for mesh networks is ieee802.11s.
• The accepted standard for fast roaming of user devices is ieee802.11r.

These are two completely unrelated standards.

No, I don't, but thanks for asking

Very cool. Now I'm even more curious to see if they will release a CPU with two CCDs with cache underneath.

If that's what you got from that, your reading comprehension is really more like a reading fantasizing

There isn't even a "but" in there

• Rome Total War
• Anno 1602
• Stronghold

I suspect I'm driven by nostalgia and by literally hundreds of hours of repeat exposure.

I think there were like two couples and another person entering the building just ahead of me, so I had to wait 10 seconds until it was my turn to drop my envelope in the urn. This was in Switzerland, in a suburb of Zürich.

But more often I just walk in up to the box, say hello to the people organising and drop it in directly. I've never encountered a queue yet.

He even looks like a movie character for whom they tried to cast a person that embodies dereliction of duty!

On a general note I would say for the individual consumer it doesn't matter so much if they keep releasing yearly, we just don't have to buy yearly.

It's kind of a waste of resources for the manufacturers supporting more models than necessary. If that leads to shorter support schedules that's when it impacts us. But as you observed they seem to be lengthening at the moment.

I'm currently on a Pixel 6 from 2021, that I bought used from someone who was chasing the latest and greatest. I have no reason for changing yet. After October 2026 when support ends I'll see if I have to migrate to Graphene OS or something. If no secure path forward exists I may have to get newer hardware then.

From what I can tell, the only OEM that does this currently might be Fairphone.

Does what? I don't see anything in the sentences before that "this" could refer to.
