It’s also very expensive! In Australia a BYDAtto 1, which is a 5 seater full featured hatchback capable of normal speeds, is US$17,000.

Similarly the real eyesore in neighbourhoods is all the cars and the assorted infrastructure dedicated to them. 40% of Australian households have rooftop solar. You get used to the…

Good for navigation, terrible for up to date business information (opening hours) and reviews. Google maps’ reviews aren’t great - everything is a 4.3 because they incentivised use…

These muppets won’t win power anyway, they are at least two election cycles away from being competitive again. The last election was a catastrophe. That said, New Zealand rules, ev…

Their target is not coders, it is the professional world who do 90% of their work in Office applications, like me. A $200/m model absolutely does not fly when rolled out to entire …

It is interesting to me, as an Australian, that it almost seems like Osama Bin Laden won. The fall of the US commenced when they let the fear in, and that was September 2001.

NTS is truly excellent yes. The streaming app algorithms are bland as hell, built for people who just want noise in the background.

The verge does have lawyers on staff (obviously, as does any media organisation of a certain size). I would be sure they have consulted with them, but there is also a story in this…

You can work freely and get access to Medicare (and vice-versa) so they’re more-or-less citizens anyway.

A classical virus, from the good old days. None of this botnet/bitcoin mining in the background nonsense.

It definitely is less important / visible to some people. I have a 175Hz screen at home and a 120Hz iPhone, but I use a 60Hz iPad and displays at work and if I am not focusing on i…

I didn’t understand iPads for years. As a half engineer half email monkey, doing work on them is still next to impossible, especially with nerfed versions of Office applications. B…

Or your dog eating the AirTag with the button battery inside it

Important for what? Google and anthropic's models are already better, and google actually makes money, and both are US companies. What strategic relevance is there to Open AI?

They are huge in Australia too. And the advice basically everyone gives is "if you're going electric, you'd be crazy not to consider BYD first". A couple of years ago the only nota…

Crazy take, in the late 90s/early 00s your GPU could be obsolete 9 months after buying. The “optimisation” you talk about was the CPU in the ps4 generation was so weak and tech was…

Isolating children? They’re schoolchildren! They see their peers at school every day.

There is tonnes of private art in the world you are simply not able to see at all. Many of these TV shows also come to DVD/Blu-Ray eventually.

Hey hey safe injecting rooms have real harm minimisation impacts. Not convinced you can say the same for chatbot boyfriends.

The fare is a flat au 50c, though. It is basically free.

I know you are being rhetorical but for reference, of course not, their margin on hardware is 36%

Liz is a lady, and I am confident she did not AI generate this article. Aside from it clearly having her authorial voice, here is another piece she has written: https://www.theverg…

By the phrasing this is almost certainly a patch for targeted vulnerabilities to install Pegasus or similar.

This was a much bigger issue 10 years ago than it is now. Emoji are generally fairly consistent across hardware vendors.

Firefox now has vertical tabs built in. Not as feature filled of course though tab groups and vertical tabs together replaces all the functionality I needed from Tree Style Tabs.
