This isn't really a Windows vs Linux issue as far as I'm aware. It was a bad driver update made by a third party. I don't see why Linux couldn't suffer from the same kind of issue.
We should dunk on Windows for Windows specific flaws. Like how Windows won't let me reinstall a corrupted Windows Store library file because admins can't be trusted to manage Microsoft components on their own machine.
All EVs come with Level 1 chargers that plug in to your standard house outlet, NEMA 5-15R. If there's an outlet nearby you can charge your car.
That can still be difficult for apartment renters, but there's no need to modify your house.
It's the wind turbines knocking the water out of the sky!
Do you use the Infinitime firmware? I remember weather display being fairly limited back when I tried.
.localhost is already reserved for the loopback, per RFC 2606, but I agree with you in general. A small network shouldn't have to have a $10-15/year fee to be compliant if they don't want to use a domain outside their network.
As other posters have mentioned, .lan .home .corp and such are so widely used that ICANN can't even sell them without causing a technical nightmare.
Yes, you're right, RFC 6762 proposes reserving .local for mDNS. I was not aware of this until you brought it up, hence the dangers of using using TLDs not specifically designated for internal use.
Very few as this ruling would reserve .internal for local DNS only and forbid it at the global level. This is ICANN's solution to people picking random .lan .local .internal for internal uses. You'll be able to safely use .internal and it will never resolve to an address outside your network.
It wasn't related to any current politics. Rick himself got in trouble and turned into a turkey to get pardoned.
It's a special nylon reinforced clay that only a single company makes. The company's owners retired and couldn't find anyone to take over.
It does exist, see qbitorrent and similar apps. Torrents already fill the usecase you've defined: decentralized sharing of arbitrary files. The main problems being the central exchange and the need for seeders.
The bigger the central exchange (torrent tracker) the more susceptible you are to both internal and external threats, but you need to be big because bigger means more seeders and more content.
NixOS gang, you here?
No? Guess I'm here alone. Meme checks out.
