I'm hoping a new device will bring with it renewed vigour :-).

I'm probably being ambitious. Overly.

I'd be down with that. Gamers will kill for even 1 nanosecond of lower
"ping" :-).

Which is quite at odds with a flats screen TV I bought from Sony back in
2015 that supported IPv6 - and this was Sony's own OS, not a 3rd party
one some of their current units ship with. The good ol' silo problem,
perhaps...
