Happy Eyeballs and switching to/from mobile are definitely hard problems to deal with in a privacy-friendly way, but I don't think IPv6 privacy extensions should really matter here. Just treat a /64 the same way you'd t

Not at all, because it uses the same pins as ARC, so the two features can't operate at the same time, and a lot of people use ARC to get audio from TV apps back to a soundbar or receiver. HDMI Ethernet is dead, it's never going to

Science works on logical rules. What logical rule would you propose that allows Pluto to be a planet without also bringing in a bunch of others? If you just want to arbitrarily declare things are they way you like them to be, religion is ov

The only thing we use large models (they are not fucking AI, never will be, and calling them that only supports the hype nonsense) for in actual production is voicing generic IVR messages and such. If we lost that we'd go back to havi

The specific purpose of RustDesk is to have the middleman making remote access across networks easier. It's intended to replace TeamViewer, LogMeIn, etc. not VNC or RDP. You either pick a middleman you want to trust or you run one of

To establish a connection between client and remote host, you are expected to go through a coordination server which you trust, that can be either the official one or your own self-hosted instance. Your client and the remote host will then
