  • What are the “2 all-day events”?

    Tap on it to find out (if this wasn’t an image). I assume there’s a fixed one row of space for an all-day event there. That’s definitely on purpose, considering they even have a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events. Sure, it could be two or up to two elements but that comes at the cost of the detail on the timeline below. They probably considered the timeline to be more important because that changes more often as opposed to the all-day events that only change once per day, and that as a consequence you’re going to check the all-day events once per day (or even just the day before), so you can just tap the widget if you want to see them.

    It would be great if it was more customizable in terms of the layout of course, but this is Apple we’re talking about. I’m honestly surprised there’s a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events in the first place.

    Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.

    This one’s a timeline, not a list of events unlike the one in your post, and in that time (8-12 today) there are no events, so it’s blank. It’s as much wasted white space as the full calendar view with no events in it.

    Personally I have no problem with the calendar widget, but I have to say collapsing today’s all-day events in the list view as in the OP if there’s space left is questionable at best.


  • It offers no practical benefit to small networks at the moment.

    The internet is not a “small network”, and I assume your small network is connected to it. You need local IPv6 routing to have access to IPv6-only hosts which are becoming more and more because it’s reasonable in terms of price to get an IPv6 block unlike IPv4 blocks which are being auctioned for tens of thousands of dollars at this point (!!!).

    Also restoring global addressing is a huge benefit. P2P communications in IPv4 has become an insane mess of workarounds due to lack of addresses and this becomes worse the more layers of NAT you stick behind each other to try to save your ass from the rising tide.

    I’m really sick of hearing these idiotic excuses over and over, “it’s hard” this, “it’s unsafe” that, “it’s expensive”, “understanding the eldritch secrets of IPv6 has driven 5 of my colleagues into madness” skill issue. THERE ARE NO MORE IPV4 ADDRESSES. So unless your network is so fucked that you haven’t managed to fix it in 26 years, since IPv6 has been standardized, or it really is just an internal network with no outward facing services where it doesn’t matter when someone who just has IPv6 can’t access it because they wouldn’t be able to access it anyway, and you’re not some kind of ISP, you have no reason not to have support for it at this point and you absolutely never have a reason to tell people it’s not “useful” because that is straight up wrong in the general case even if it might be true for your situation.
