That's why I buy secondhand Pixels. You can normally get near-new quality if someone orders one as a gift and it's the wrong colour, or they accidentally chose the wrong storage size, or something similar.

That way Google's not getting my money.

Making it illegal only hampers those that follow the law.

Criminals, by definition, already don't follow the law.

I'm wrong? You're saying that IP addressing is one of the most complicated things about computers/networking?

There's a difference between corporate IT and being a computer geek.

I agree that many IT careers are relatively simple support jobs.

They mentioned computer geeks which implies, to me, people who are deep into computers. In that light, if you're struggling with concepts of IP addressing then the more-complicated facets of computers and networks will preclude you from an engineering role.

I'm not gate-keeping. I'm simply suggesting that IP addressing is one of the less-complicated things when it comes to computer-geekery.
