Google forgave the total, restored Tane's service in less than an hour and credited her account for $30
This is the headline! A telco forgiving debt? Unheard of! Credit to her account? Now you're just talking bullshit! This is a telecommunications company, after all. Restored service in less than an hour?! What in the hell are you smokin' son? No telco I know of can wrap their collective group think around the idea of less than an hour.
If this is how Google operates as a telco then my hats off to them. Yeah, sounds like their billing system has some issues, but customer service seems to be doing above average.
Considering how things played out last time with the NES Classic, I'm not holding my breath that this will ever truly become "available" to the masses for the $79.99 price mentioned in the article (and not in the summary).
A few years ago I was thinking about building an arcade cabinet. Even found working copies of several thousand old ROMs including all the classics that I plugged an uncountable number of quarters into. I could invest a couple of hours into getting all of that working on the machine connected to my TV and still be ahead of the $200-$300 a NES Classic, plus whatever $$$ this new SNES Classic will end up costing. And still play all of the games included in both the NES and SNES Classic's.
The logo will be the original AT&T Death Star, multi-colored like the NBC peacock, with a big red check mark on top. The Death Star will be firing at the Earth.
It's all about location, location, location. You got a buyer for that $10 Quintillion USD worth of iron protoplanet located in the astroid belt? Didn't think so.
The major downside being you have to be anywhere near Fremont street in old Las Vegas. This part of north Las Vegas is a complete shithole, and should be avoided at all costs.
Check out Sling TV from DishNetwork. It's a streaming only service that starts at $20/month, with no contract. I get every channel I want except Discovery. HBO is $15/month extra. None of the annoying shopping/infomercial type channels.
Yeah, Mac's are shit. Nobody uses them as servers. After paying the inherited 10% Jobs tax, on top of normal x86_64 costs, they are still stupid expensive. You spend $500, the minimum for a Mac-mini, and get a 1.whatever GHz shitbox. I can spend $220, and build a headless 3.3GHz Pentium with 2.133 GHz FSB, and DDR4 RAM, that runs Fedora, CentOS, Windows, etc.
And yes, opening TCP port 25 to your home server can very quickly kill the system. Forget attacks, spam alone will cause millions, if not billions, of attempted email relays.

Enjoying the near complete silence until my jackass neighbor started blasting "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for way too long.

Hate is such a strong word. I don't hate Christians, Muslims, or Jews. I disagree with Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
But telecommunication companies (telco's), that's a whole new level of hell that religion couldn't possibly imagine.
I don't love my ISP (Frontier FIOS), nor do I hate them. On a day-to-day basis they get job done.
If you truly "hate" your ISP, have no choice, and have a valid reason to complain, please tell the FCC. You might not think it helps, but it does.
Spoiler alert!
Stop giving them ideas!
I too am reading "Sapiens : A Brief History of Humankind". Hard book to put down.
Also: "The Discovers", "Feeling Good", "A Short History of Nearly Everything", and "Warplanes to Alaska".
Exactly.

You can NAT IPv6. Works just like NAT in IPv4.
As for address length, my public IPv4 network number is 15 characters long, whereas my IPv6 network number is only 13 characters long.
