If it isn’t a complete landslide against the Fascists, it will be a loss to democracy.

But that Spectrum being used for 3G is beneficial. Not just for support of older devices but also increased, redundant coverage.

This purely Corporate Welfare legislation, which is going to backfire on the corporations when they realise they have to build more infrastructure to provide the same coverage.

It is going to be detrimental to product consumers because they won’t have the same amount of coverage. Also, the higher bandwidth of 5G is going to increase backhaul requirements which mean that the person calling 000 using VoLTE will need to compete with the person steaming 4K Netflix while playing CoD.

The only winners in the long-term will be the advertisers and data miners, who somehow manage to bloat a 4kB website to 40mB.

A lot of not-that-old computers don’t meet the system requirements for Windows 11.

And by “not-that-old” I mean serves the limited purpose it was built for 8 years ago and is still working perfectly fine.

Hardware is lasting longer, users are less demanding.

OK Looks like my little MS Surface is going to be running Linux.

It was the Telecom Oligarchs that kept the speed and infrastructure limited.

I really wish that Telstra had not been accepted into the NBN; In my alternate history, FTTH would have been rolled out in parallel to all existing corroded copper. The problem with my alternate timeline is that Telstra would try to push fixed 4G and 5G as their only option and oversaturated the MobileNet infrastructure… wait they are doing that anyway!

Some imported dual-cab utes struggle with the kerbs of drive throughs.

Only people who are serve no useful purpose in their organisation.

There used to be an insult for these people “shut up or I will replace you with a very small shell Script”.

I only know one person who put LLM to use. He used to write copy for advertising agency’s who wouldn’t actually read the copy before it was published. He eventually outsourced to India so he didn’t want to spend time writing something that no one would ever read. Eventually he used ChatGPT made some scripts to automate the whole process.

Once he even sent Lorem Ipsum text and it was published. No one noticed. He eventually outsourced to India so he didn’t have to spend time writing something that no one would ever read.

Most of the arseholes who are arseholes on the Internet are arseholes I’m real life too.

People who chat at the grocery store, or wish you a good day when you are waking in the street are also usually people who are friendly and helpful on the Internet too.

People who get angry because someone else has the gumption to share a road with them are also the kind of people who abuse other Internet users because they share a server in an online game, social network or forum with them. They are also the type of people who get angry queuing at the supermarket and abuse retail workers.

It depends on the Jurisdiction.

IANAL, but in Australia, the Driver is responsible if any passengers are not wearing their seatbelt.

Same as. Certain family members expect everyone to be on Facebook and also drink all of Zucks Kool-Aid.

I just don’t go to those family events, unless I’m personally invited. If an event only exists of Facebook, it does not exist to me.

I have 2FA apps on my phone for work. I also have the horrendous HR app for applying for Annual Leave. If they insist that I need more work-related apps on my personal phone, I will be getting a second phone and using that exclusively for work. It will be turned off when I walk out the door at the end of the day and kept in my office drawer.
