Yes, I can’t even use many 10.x subnets at home because my work VPN configures a huge routing table including many of them.

Basically I had no choice but to redo my home network if I wanted to use my new work laptop at home (and I work 100% remote).

I'd be tempted to shove that VPN into a network namespace together with jool, and NAT64 their 10.x subnets into, let's say, 2001:db8:a:b::/96, so that their 10.1.2.3 becomes 2001:db8:a:b::10.1.2.3. Then there's no overlap as viewed from outside the namespace.

And if you ever need to use another VPN that also clashes on 10.x, you can do the same thing but map that one into 2001:db8:a:c::/96. Then you've got 2001:db8:a:b::10.1.2.3 and 2001:db8:a:c::10.1.2.3, neither of which clash with either each other or your 10.1.2.3.

I "solved" this by running a separate VLAN for work machines that provides addresses in a slightly weird /24 carved out of the 172.16.0.0/12 [0] range. Is it as collision-resistant as a ULA address? No. But -sadly- I've yet to see an Enterprise VPN that wasn't run as an IPv4-only thing, so it's the best I can do.

[0] Or whatever the netmask actually is. I'm never sure about the 172.16.x.x space.

They’ve done loud, in-store presentations for longer than Apple Intelligence has been a thing, but you’re right that it’s a captive audience of mostly disinterested people.

I’ve had this music in my head for 30+ years. I could never get very far in the game though!

I use mine in meetings and often end up in a situation where I need to remove and charge the one which is about to go flat for a few minutes.

I need to know individual levels to do that

Which is solved by the suggestion of 'only reporting the lower of the two', right? The one with more battery isn't about to go flat...

Only if it tells you which one it is

23k seems like a lot, especially so if the leak is somewhere other than a hidden part of the line. Equipment cost is likely only a couple of k, and labour to replace without running new lines is maybe a few hours.

Please get a second opinion, especially if you can find a non-shop to give you one.

> 23k seems like a lot, especially so if the leak is somewhere other than a hidden part of the line.

I am inclined to agree. The rear 2½T unit in our rental blew a line last year. Two companies quoted my landlord $10k for a new 2½T condenser and air handler (1 was another renter of his). Even that seemed high to me but I could be out of date

In the end, I had a friend come out and look it over. Leak was near the compressor and he charged well under $1k for the fix, mostly for refrigerant.

> 23k seems like a lot,

That is because it's wrong. Sorry, just woke up. I'm in Norway, and it's 23k NOK, or $2300.

The shop said filling my system back up with refrigerant if it was empty would be around $1.3k, and based on what I've heard I don't think that's off by much.

Oh I don’t know how I missed that unless you made an edit, but I also just woke up :) This price makes more sense.

23k didn’t sound too far off what an American installer would try charge for a new system in a high cost of living area, so this wasn’t too unbelievable.

Yeah edited it, should have clarified.

I've heard these insane prices. I think 2.3k is pricey enough, you can get cheaper units here but SO wants the pretty indoor unit so pretty indoor unit she gets.

I could be wrong, but it’s quite a bit harder to build a product that competes with Tesla than with OpenAI.

I’m with you on 6ghz wifi disappointment. My phone does well with it since it supports MLO but my macbook will refuse to roam away from 6ghz until it’s close to unusable.

My isp-supplied router had 10gbe on both wan and lan sides. I swapped it for my own, but that is what modern consumer equipment looks like.

You can find a 2 port 10gbe+4 port 2.5gbe switch for just over $30 on Amazon.

If the run isn’t too long this can all run over cat5. Handily beats wifi especially for reliability but Thunderbolt is fastest if you only have 2 machines to link.

Supposedly, yes.

Theories range from the solid headliner being cheaper than the original one to the glass being made from a cheaper and possibly less sound proof material.

Same. My first FPS-style games were all flight sims.
