Hello fellow Brisbanite! Australia has it's own version of this directory - see if you can find it here: https://streetlibrary.org.au/brisbane/

It sounds like this study might have been funded by.... Big Breakfast. I'll see myself out.

That program listing hit me right in the feels. I remember when I was 6 or 7 teaching myself Applesoft BASIC and writing programs with funny (to me) little print statements all thr…

What a time to be alive! After nearly two decades of complaining loudly about deteriorating quality of Google search results and Ad injection, Google puts in AI summaries and provi…

It boggles the mind as to why they choose a name for this application that is very clearly a Microsoft trademark. In understand it's also the French word for Videoconferencing, but…

This! I have the 14-core M4 Macbook Pro with 48GB of RAM, and Word for Mac (Version 16 at this time) runs like absolute molasses on large documents, and pegs a single core between …

Surely the constraint will be the rate at which you can get them into and installed orbit, not the manufacturing rate

It is 100% about FOMO. The greatest pushback you'll get from anyone when you suggest voluntarily cutting off their social media accounts is that it's their way of keeping in touch/…

Ah man, I miss the late 90s/early 00s theme of one-off mystery sites, green on black aesthetics and excessive anchor tags :) Back in 2006 (god I feel old) there was an excellent mi…

I'm by no means defending the percentage they take, but I would suggest that it's a percentage because it's simple: Pick 3 imaginary games for sale priced at $1, $10 and $100. Any …

Specifically old Japanese hardware from the 80s and 90s - this stuff is bulletproof

I have had fairly extensive hearing loss in my left ear for about 20-something years and finally decided to investigate options about a year or so ago. I tried a set of Phonaks for…

My subsidised 48kWh battery is getting installed in two weeks - and I can't wait. I have also upgraded to a 20kW inverter (I have ~10kW of panels on the roof) so I can import or ex…

Lovely story. I work out of the back seat(s) (Crew Model) of my Ford Transit pretty regularly and can relate. I'm astonished at how productive I can be while waiting around outside…

> The technical information for this thing seems to be light on the ground. What kind of diagnostic stats are provided? How is it figuring out true Rx/Tx power without a light mete…

That might be a misremember - I've been using Juniper for nearly 20 years now and only ever saw a "software bug" in 18.x that broke OEM optics, but that was quickly addressed with …

some scars need to be earned

This may work in your favour - it's one of the reasons I enjoy Mastodon so much - friction is/was a little higher which kept my network small but focussed

Genuinely curious - would 24x7 low-latency trading matter then? Wouldn't after-hours trading (for your local timezone) be happening on an exchange in another location? Or do you me…

Not the OP, but have had some experience with the Arduino Opta around this time twelve months ago (Oct 24) through a professional development course I took at my local university o…

This is actually really exciting - it means in somewhere in the next 5-10 years we'll inevitably (well, hopefully if the cycles of history are anything to go by) see a bunch of new…
