They own the presses. And in most of the country, they own ALL of the presses. And most of the radio stations. And they had the laws changed so that they can buy the tv stations too - which they immediately tried to do.

There is no "incompetence" in sky news. Part of their schtick is that they continually claim to be the victim. Blatantly lie, and then claim they are being silenced, in all but two of the major newspapers in the country, in every newspaper in Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory, Western Australia, Tasmania, in most of the radio stations, and in all the appearances that their staff get on all of our major TV station networks.
They just cant lie about it on Youtube. Until next week.

And it isnt just one of their presenters. Its almost all of their after 5pm crowd. Their presenter Chris Kenny attended a state premier's press conference and attempted to tell the Chief Medical Officer that covid was "mostly harmless".

You summed it up well, Sky News is Dangerous and Misleading. And for those claiming freedom of speech, two things. It doesnt force one media outlet (Youtube) to carry the content of another (Sky), and it doesnt allow you to yell "Fire" in a movie theatre.

An an Australian with Bixby - Id rather not have it. Ive never intentionally tried to open it, only accidentally, by swiping the wrong way at the wrong time, or accidentally pushing that button. Personally, Id rather that the button do nothing, compared to what it actually does.

When I first bought the phone, the Remote app was quite useful. But every update it got bigger and worse, taking over more of the phone and including more advertising until it finally became the monstrosity of the 'Peel Smart Remote'. Id rather no IR remote on my phone than having that app installed.

> For work like trash collection, it was difficult getting people, both domestic and foreign, to apply for those jobs. In some of these H2-B cases, these are actually jobs Americans don't want.

Because the free market has decided that the pay is too low. H2-B is just to keep wages low.

> Windows 10 has high DPI support... too bad 99% of Microsoft apps don't actually support it.

I would argue this. Windows 10 doesnt properly support High DPI. There are issues all over the place. Theres no consitency - even amongst its own windows 10 bundled programs. There's constant bugs and issues. Scaling going haywire. Remote desktop to other servers is a crap shoot. And hell, dont remote desktop to your own High DPI machine from a machine thats NOT high DPI - you'll most likely need a reboot of the high DPI machine to fix the issues caused there. Im still looking at windows explorer completely unscaled on a 4k monitor because I was silly enough to remote in from my laptop over the weekend.

We rolled out 4 4K monitors as a test. They were universally hated across the company because of windows. Im stuck with 2, and the Mac guy has 2. He's loving life!

He was a boarder at Sydney Grammar. One of Australia's most privileged and expensive schools. I wouldnt call this growing up below the poverty line.

Your numbers are way out. Take a typical modern panel, like the Sunpower 300. You are looking at 200W/m^2. They can be place side by side on a roof. Typical home systems in Australia are now 6-10KW.
Wind and Solar are getting cheaper, and they arent competing for land. Wind works well with farmland - its also being installed offshore. Solar works well on buildings and carparks. We arent anywhere near a position where it needs to compete for land.

No, its basically just bash and command line utils. Theres still quite a few features that dont work right. Hell, ping would only work for a current administrator up until a couple of months ago.

We used to reboot all of our NT4 Sp 6a servers when the idle counter reached 500 hours. Not long after that, they always started behaving weirdly..

Over 80% of the Australian Population lives within a 50km long strip of the East Coast.

The distance here isnt the issue. All of the spare areas are to be covered by Satellite and or Fixed wireless. At the moment, they are currently busting their balls to turn Cable internet into the worlds only L2 provisioned wholesale service, and trying to wrangle a dilapidated copper access network that is life expired into VDSL. Copper maintenance is over 10 times what they budgeted for. And the budget for maintenance and power was 10 times what it costs to run a fibre network.

If all the unused /8's were returned, that would get us a few more months at most.

For that price, Each student could literally have a professor simply teach them at home full time and get a better education.

Exactly. If he has put his name behind it, it means we arent going to get it.

This is a man who was 100% behind curbing carbon emissions and having an emissions trading scheme. A few years later (a month ago), he's passing a lump of coal around parliament while they all congratulate themselves on how good it is.

Thats because tthe object oriented features were buggy as all hell. I have never worked with a program that was as buggy as Foxpro.
Ignore the object oriented stuff - and it was rock solid. Its as if all the code Microsoft bought was solid, and everything they added was swiss cheese.
