I suspect my cellphone does, but not my work or home internet.

IPv6 is now twice as old as IPv4 was when IPv6 was introduced. 20 years ago I worried about needing to support it. Now I don’t even think about it at all.

I think the movie actually did a reasonable job of explaining it. Multiple different households were traveling together, the whole thing was chaotic, a neighbors kid dropped by and was included in the head count, Kevin was on the attic and so out of sight, they were running late, etc.

Suppose you take a very superficial view of the U.S. without thinking too hard, and consider COVID to be either an exception or a conspiracy. Under Trump the economy seemed to be doing well, wages were up, inflation a nonissue, unemployment down, illegal immigration wasn’t often in the news, no war in Ukraine or Israel, Afghanistan had not collapsed, abortion was a nonissue, etc. Under Biden, constant news about illegal immigration waves, two wars, high inflation, abortion, etc.

Of course that ignores other issues, a lot of the “Trump economy” was actually the afterglow of the “Obama economy”, and if we give Trump a pass on COVID we should do the same for Biden and the economic shock that lead to inflation. Trump would not have supported Ukraine and layed the ground work for both the abortion and Afghanistan issues, etc.

But, keep in mind, half of Americans are below average and take whatever media they consume at face value, a lot of which is Fox News.
