What a milestone. Still my favorite processor, and I have about 10 here at home in various yet to be finished projects (of course).

Yes maybe though I've read not as much as you think, unless it happens while you were sleeping or drunk.

Besides, even if it is, you will still notice a bad on you, because they have enough weight. You notice a small bug- you'll notice an animal that might weigh as much as a mouse or rat.

A properly informed person would've understood that's what they'd do. They'd also probably realize cookies are not a big deal.

What? I have never seen this.

What? Never? Is extremely common. I just checked both my Mac and Windows desktops and they both show a link local gateway.

It makes me question whether you've used IPv6 all that much.

> IPv6 has some quirks that make it harder to digest. Almost every point in your list is wrong.

You missed the point and almost every counterpoint in your list is wrong.

> - link local gateway address, makes it hard to understand why the subnet does not have a gateway from the ssme address space IPv4 has link-local addresses, too. Those are the 169.254.X.X addresses that you see on Windows machines. IPv6 adds nothing new.

That's not what the OP said. Note it says gateways. IPv4 when DHCP'd will show 192.168.1.1 for example when it has a 192.168.1.55 address. IPv6 will show fe23::166:8f2c:9a21:96de when it has a 2001:921:61c:aef:78f:7190:1ca2 address, despite the gateway actually being 2001:921:61c:aef::1. So its highly confusing for no good reason.

> - privacy extensions: it is very hard to explain to people why they have 3-4 IPv6 addresses assigned to their computer Well then, don’t use them. Configure the machines with one address each, just like before. If you want the (arguable) advantages of the privacy extensions, they are available, but not mandatory.

While you can configure not use them, by default DHCP'd devices WILL have a bunch. Again confusing for no good reason.

> - no real tentative mapping to what people were used to. Every IPv6 presentation I did had to start with “forget everything you know about IPv4” That’s the complete opposite of my experience. Almost everything in IPv6 works exactly the same as with IPv4.

It's the complete opposite experience for most people, including network engineers.

Because there are so many bugs that it makes me wonder if Apple Execs ever use their own software.

For example, on MacOS, you can set an app to be on all spaces. But on reboot, despite that setting, it will stick to a single space, until you relaunch the app. It has been this way for 4-5 major OS versions.

There are PLENTY of examples just like that.

but the problem is, they were better in the past.

So true. I run into so many little and annoying bugs I sometimes wonder if Apple Execs actually use their own devices.

I appreciate what Cook did for the hardware, but he really failed on the software side. Too many little and annoying bugs. I look forward to Ternus improving that side while maintaining the same hardware quality.

What leads you to believe Agile implies a fixed set of precise, rigid rules?

How it's been implemented at every company. They are always a fixed set of precise, rigid rules.
