To be fair, they probably weren’t able to take care of their own artifacts very well … after having been invaded by the British.

The only reason .su still exists is because Russia said they would decommission it and then never did. ICANN chose not to let that happen again, which explains their choice to decommission the later ones.

I’ve had cars where if there’s a programming update required, they issue it as a service action, you take the car to the dealer, and they do the software update locally with an SD card or USB stick.

You can still have easily updated software without it requiring OTA updates.

… Fisker now believes there is no way to transfer the information connected to each SUV to a new server …

There is absolutely a way. It might be hard, but there is a way.

That carpet is filthy. They didn’t even vacuum it.

ICANN controls TLDs. Nobody can “register it.”

They’ll generally instruct you to press some number on the keypad to be “connected to an agent.” That’s the live person who will try to hustle you.

The article is literally about how there is precedent for eliminating a country’s TLD when that country no longer exists, in the .su and .yu domains (for USSR and Yugoslavia respectively).

It won’t happen overnight, but it’ll happen.

So they’re just subcontracting the exploitation?

Yeah from one of those companies that pour tons of money into developing and maintaining a web browser without any way to recoup that expense.

How dare anyone suggest that there’s a way to accomplish something!

Sure, it’s the same flag, but using the admin console would apply it to a group of computers. The methods in the github link are to apply it to a single computer.

No, enterprises would use the Google admin console as described here.

The above is for a single machine, applied locally.

It enraged casual home users, not techies.

Not the headgaskets again!

I was trying to do a “it’s not supposed to leak, that’s probably an STI” joke.

… leaked …

Well, there’s your problem.

Who do you think owns the real estate?
