Google buys domains
Everybody knows, even Jiří Kajínek, that ranges of IPv4 address have already been exhausted for several year. Although there are efforts to move all infrastructure to IPv6, many people and organizations still have a problem with it. Google has therefore decided to buy a whole million IPv4 addresses from Merit Network for better use of its services. This is the range of 35.192.0.0/12, which should be used primarily by users of Google’s cloud services. More information

And Microsoft agreed – the new edition, Windows 10 China Government Edition, without OneDrive, provides better control over updates, and supports Chinese government document encryption, is on!
