    Sure. Now organize updating the last 30 years of hardware and software for compatability. Or just keep using the slightly unintuitive thing.

    You’re conflating two different definitions of “standard”. URLs are more human readable than IPs, but changing IPs into URLs would cost decades of manpower and break everything for basically no benefit either.

      Ok. Everything not supporting the modern standard is now considered outdated.

      Phew, I need to log off after all that cerebral exhaustion.
