When you invite Erin Patterson around for dinner ...

I just tried it on a Pixel 6a with Android 17. It's different again...

Profits? It's not even financially sustainable.

The 3 sisters in Katoomba is an absolute spectacle of natural beauty. It's a nice, friendly country town. Not the kind of people that would want or need a data centre.

Moore's law hit the ceiling. We're only keeping up because there's an array of gas turbines running without permits in towns with low water pressure.

I got a presidential alert in NZ and I was on GrapheneOS at the time. It should work.

Check your settings upfront. There's a whole section called "Wireless emergency alerts". You can even turn on test alerts. I assume you'll get the "everything's OK alarm".

The seppos named it as if nobody else exists. Here's what it looks like on GrapheneOS.

It's crazy that we haven't set this up sooner.

If Clive Palmer ever got hold of it...

We've moved to Cloudflare's turnstile and it's significantly less obnoxious.

Conveniently placed between a power substation and a river. Totally not going to tunnel under either for free resources, no sir.

I drove a Yaris from Greymouth to Queenstown and it was a really good drive. The whole side of island had one road and it was empty. All the bridges are single-lane.

Not one speed camera the whole way.

She's only scared of cops and cameras. Otherwise she'd be doing 110.

It still looks a bit dire. I want it to take off though.

Bangkok stopover from Milano.

This. Safest speed is the same speed as everyone else.

I was recently driving down a road that had its speed limit dropped from 100km/h to 60km/h. My wife just did 60, and I told her to speed up so she didn't create a hazard.

30 seconds later, a local Commodore whips around us on a solid line on a windy road. It had a closing speed of about 30km/h. Everyone agreed it was quite dangerous, but she refused to accept that I was right.

I'll add a pic. A country road in Victoria, Australia that had no set limit (read: default 100km/h) in 2018.

Nope. Nobody else does it.

That's no BIOS. That's systemd.

You can't copy and paste into a GUI, and it's painful to help people to use them.

Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality”

Removing Copilot wasn't unintentional at all. They said so right there in the release notes.

Imagine running a website for 20 years, changing absolutely nothing, and one day you're being targeted because someone else on the other side of the planet changed something at their end.

Tell them to piss off.

They'll come after your phpbb instance next.

Ironically, it's the innocent-looking white boxes that are hellspawn devices of pure evil that will wiretap your house, force you into a subscription service and have a 2-year planned obsolescence timebomb in it.

Meanwhile anything that resembles an arachnid will let you do whatever you want, support every imaginable open standard, and work with community firmware that will still be supported a decade later.
