This is a good article on the topic I came across today: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/cbc-pronunciation-kyiv-ukraine... Boils down to that the Ukrainian vs Russian pronunciation is now political...

I can kind of relate to the feeling of IPv6 being "new and scary" to back in 1995 when I barely grasped IPv4 routing... everything becomes clear eventually with experience and exposure... hopefully eventually I'll understand

It's not secure at all, as some services (PayPal!) Allow password reset via SMS to your regitered mobile number. So if someone even has control of your mobile number via sim swap for 5 minutes they gain full control of your paypal acct

Most people don't know you can just dial ##004# to remove all conditional call forwards that normally default to voicemail. Or if the network doesn't unset it, you can set it to a deadend like * 004 *0000000000# - or some other fu

You must mean 8Khz - which results in a 64kbps stream. (8000 bytes per second) The companding was actually a very good use of 8 bits per sample for voice, introducing little artifacts except at high amplitudes and the low pass filter. Nowad
