Because it's the best option I've seen and it's one they haven't ruined?

Many years ago (80s) in the UK I remember my family and others had milk tokens to get formula milk or whatever. Each local convenience store used to exchange them for booze or cigs, at a high conversion rate obviously.

Would it be a hardship to actually explain why we'd care about some random blockchain nonsense?

(tl;dr - nobody cares)

It's literally word soup even to seasoned nerds like myself that have been doing this for decades. Who cares?

I'm in the UK. After an update yesterday it was asking me to enable it on my M1 Mac

really?

Good point about multicast - BT use it in the UK on their fibre/ADSL network to deliver live TV to their set-top boxes. I have never understood why it's not supported cross-ISP.

I believe it's very hard to implement across networks in a way that does not require core routers to become quite stateful and/or risks flooding parts of the network with multicast data nobody asked for.

There was a short conceptual revival of the multicast idea as an overlay network on top of unicast IP, under the banner of "content-addressable networks", but I haven't heard anything about that in a while.

I have one, in the glinet router i've got in our motorhome. It's fantastic - UX is shit for adding a new eSim (need to take a pic of the QR code) but once it's working it's great.

No idea why it needs an adaptor though - assume it's some buggery around being not a phone.

Nothing about pricing?

I think to set the launch price on 179$, after one month it will be increased to 219$
