I mean company is worth a few billion and last week at work they considered having a metal tool box to prop open the router room door “good enough”. I’m not in IT, but I was to walk in and write down the ip addresses and try to ping them from my workstation which just let open the command prompt. I literally said “WHY AM I ALLOWED TO DO THIS”

I remember my first class on NAT. The teacher said “this was not meant to be a security feature but that one use for it”.
we did a few tricks to get more use out of ipv4 address. take 192.168.100.1 that is a private ipv4 address it can not connect directly to the internet. Most home routers will have a single public ipv4 address and assign some private address to each device connected to it. So now each home can have 1 device with 192.168.100.1. This means we kept using ipv4 for a long time after ipv6 came out.
Second updating all the old routers and switches. At this point in time it is unlikely you will find a router in the wild that can’t use ipv6. Someone let me know the last time you found a device on some job site. But it took a while to get there because its expensive to replace them and no one was going to cough the massive amount of money to get it done in just a year or two.
Here is a full ipv6 address 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334, yes it can be shortened to 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334. That’s still a pain to type out and yes it did make a mistake just typing that one address. It is just more error prone to write and type out ipv6 addresses.

because and this is how many police departments see it. If you are seeking mental help then you are unfit for duty, if you are not asking help then you don’t need it. Needing help is weakness and that makes you unfit. Would it be better to have regular mental check ins, yes it would be but it is a real up hill battle. Not only do you the departments that see needing help as the problem but you just have police trained to give the right answer to get a passing score and many many men see needing help as weakness, weakness is the problem. It doesn’t matter how much people on the outside of the police tyr to push help if they just reject it.
