News bargaining incentive: the latest move in the government’s ‘four-dimensional chess’ battle with Meta

Jump

  • I'm not knowledgeable in this area. How can Australia charge Meta for anything when they aren't an Australian company?

    I suspect Meta will just do the same as they did in Canada.

    • $1K a month is a good deal

  • Pretty mental isn't it!

    I'm in Australia. We might be a bit nuts over here but at least we have Medicare. Private health insurance is optional and becoming increasingly expensive, but the public system, although stressed, covers everyone.

    We do pay a Medicare levy in our taxes but it's nothing like USA costs. A few hundred a year I think.

    Hard to beat for working with dying drives, although it's a bit tricky to get it to just do used data areas instead of the whole drive.

  • I think pool would be harder to emulate than pinball unless using a real cue and VR. It'd be hard to have a one to one user interface for this whereas pinball is mostly binary since flippers went electronic.

    That said, I've fond memories of some pool games in the DOS / '95 era. The duration of the mouse click being the analog to the cue force.

  • Hehe you're right kinda.

    I take my phone data offline after about midnight and if I can't sleep I'll do Solitaire or crosswords.

    If I'm really wanting a good game, Zen Pinball is my poison. One day I plan to get an old TV and turn it into a Zen Pinball machine, as others have done on YouTube.
