It's the fact that it's in near real time now, older techniques with older hardware would need much longer.

I love ligatures but much prefer the ones that preserve the proper width of all the characters for this exact reason

You could configure the DNS only on devices that don't have issues with it rather than the network as a whole?

I suspect they might be talking about a DNS based ad blocking solution. Like Pi-Hole or AdGaurd DNS.

They work by blocking DNS requests made by ads so the content can never be accessed. They're theoretically more powerful than browser extensions as they have the opportunity to block ads anywhere.

I was excited for 802.11ac (now Wifi 5) when it first launched and I adopted it early but I've never been sold on the need for Wifi 6 let alone 7 now.

Unlike other folk in this thread I do thankfully have a Gigabit class internet connection but I now own my own home and so have been able to do some very basic Ethernet runs which totally replaces WiFi for 90% of my usage. My Wireless AP just talks to my phone, Steam Deck and a couple smart home gubbins really.

Did I ever say it was all lies? They're incredibly capable machines, I'd love to own one. I just take issue with Apple's lark of transparency in the marketing of the performance of the chips vs competition.

Aye exactly, Apple's marketing, which is often basically lying, has a lot to answer for in the prevelence of this idea. They'd have you believe that they're making chips with 14 billion percent more performance per watt and class beating performance. Whereas in reality they're very much going toe to toe with AMD and other high end ARM chip vendors
