Car thermostats for the radiator. You don’t want the coolant flowing when the engine first starts, because it will run like shit. So you have a cylinder filled with wax that expands with heat. That controls a valve to set the flow of coolant. Low tech, works fine, no particular reason to change it.
I thought it was just a spring that expanded with heat and opened/closed with the expansion?
Every one I’ve seen or replaced was just that. No idea what the wax thing is about so I looked it up.

OP’s right!
IPv4.
IPv6 became a recognized standard by 1998.
EDIT: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6-adoption
Nearly 30 years later, and less than half of the connections to Google are via IPv6.
IPv6 is such an ugly monster.
It just isn’t and I’m sick of people being scared of hexadecimals lol
You can even spell stuff with them which is way easier to remember, my router’s ULA is fd13:dead:beef::1
