Factual: “Pilots Endanger Other Aircraft with Unprofessional Flares Display”
You need to see a doctor to get your humanity checked. It seems not to be working.
To be fair, it sounds like this murder led to a pretty thorough external review and an acknowledgement from the QPS leadership that things had to change.
NBN switched half of my town to fixed wireless at a higher cost than FTTN just to get ‘bums on seats’ to make coalition pollies look good/less bad.
Let me put that another way.
I got a worse service, at a higher cost to the government, AND a higher cost to me, just so it could happen 6 months earlier.
I would have been happy to wait, and now FTTP is off the table for me.
Fuck 'em.
Russia has repeatedly shown itself to have imperialist ambitions. Just ask Georgia and Ukraine.
Australian companies being shit at cyber security again.
Kudos for your wholesome response.
I remember seeing a talk by Bruce Pascoe where he described how the published journals of the early white explorers had been censored to remove references to the extensive agriculture, grain silos and aquaculture except where they painted them in a negative light.
He also told off one journal entry where a cake given by a First Nation person was described as the softest, sweetest cake he had ever eaten. He made the point that this was a comment coming from an Englishman!
I downloaded it to try out the AI in Bing Search, but now I only use it for Teams or other Microsoft cloud apps.
Same as for Chrome. It only gets used for Google Apps.
I gave up on the Teams app and went with using it in Edge.
It’s fucking unconscionable. We should be taxing these fuckers harder.
I’m not anti-Fediverse here, but tbf it would be ridiculously easy for data harvesting companies to plug into the API and fingerprint individual users from their activity. Admittedly, I don’t see how browser based fingerprinting could be done without hosting an instance.
To be fair, that’s true of most social media, including Reddit.
Firefox with containers for day to day use. Chrome for google docs. Safari for sites where I don’t want to have to go through the login process every time I open a page.
I bought a Synology NAS with 4 bays and set up Raid 6. This provides 2 drive failure protection. All files on my computer are automatically sync’d to the NAS via Synology’s self hosted cloud drive service. This provides the additional benefit of version history of files. The NAS is backed up to a single large drive on a regular basis. That drive is stored off site.
I got burned by WD’s secret SMR drives in my home NAS and they sucked! They were marketed as NAS drives, but the performance was abominable, the failed sector count grew steadily from day 1 and it felt like they failed 1 early. Once the whole sordid fiasco came to light I switched to Seagate CMR drives and everything has been mostly OK since then.
They do.

TABLE I. A summary of the different types of masks tested, the materials they are made of, and their effectiveness in impeding droplet-dispersal. The last column indicates the distance traveled by the jet beyond which its forward progression stops. The average distances have been computed over multiple runs, and the symbol “∼” is used to indicate the presence of high variability in the first two scenarios listed.
