Australia banned half a million active devices from their mobile networks today. It must be a new trend.

Everybody's stupid except me.

I don't think BYOD has anything to do with this. It's just kicking devices off the network because their modems won't support VoLTE. You can still buy an outright phone and flash whatever ROM you want on it.

Went to Coles and bought CC's, pringles, Oreos, party mix, soft drinks and it's already been eaten.

Not getting pissed tonight because I gotta survive Oktoberfest tomorrow.

PlexAmp is an amazing bit of software for a phone. It doesn't translate well to the desktop, but it's still pretty good.

Your flacs will play lossless on wifi, and transcode to 128kbps opus on mobile. You can tweak those settings too.

Most smart TVs have a native plex app available too.

I don't mean permanently. I mean that restaurants that are identified as an outbreak for food poisoning get immediately closed and investigated. They re-open once the health inspector clears it.

Being allowed to continue trading through this is insane.

Any other restaurant would have been closed down over this.

Teslas aren't exactly long-range rural cars. Correcting for mileage would only increase the crash rates.

However, being city cars, they probably have high operational hours.

The speed humps are actually worse on a softer setting. The car takes far longer to settle after a bump.

On standard suspension, the car would bounce off the bump stops at half the speed of everyone else.

The ones near me are heavily signed. There's usually 4 sign posts on each one. They're big, bright, and an utter blight on the landscape.

I actually drive between them because my car is narrow. I drive down my entire street in the middle of the road and weave oncoming traffic. Again, I'm not sure what sped humps do for safety.

One thing that makes them "equally unpleasant" for everyone is a straight-through muffler. At 2AM, my neighbors are just an inconvenienced as I am when I drop back to first gear 6 times. My council refers to speed humps as "traffic calming devices". In reality, it just aggravates it.

Tesla Drivers Have the Highest Crash Rate of Any Brand

Tesla also had the lowest DUI rate. They're not intoxicated, they're just crap drivers.

It's fun to play and complete in your local sportsball league. It's exercise while being fun. Spectating is fun when watching a sport that you also play. Seeing the pros play is it properly lets you bring something back to your own game. I don't actually care who wins. That's tribalism.

Going to a "sports" bar to watch fat people get drunk and place bets makes no sense to me.

I also hate sports trivia. It's just celebrity trivia but for people to star on the field instead of in movies. If I get asked who won a particular award in a particular sport in a particular year, I would have absolutely no idea. If you aksed me to explain the "infield fly" rule, I've got that covered.

And yes, a full 8 minutes of the nightly news covering sports is just insane. I just don't care.

The same logic can explain why Teslas crash so often. You turn on all the assists, and eventually forget how to change gears.

Speed humps. On my daily 5km drive, there are about a dozen of them each way.

I have a 900kg car with sports suspension, and I need to slow almost to a stop for many of them.

Meanwhile people in 2500kg road-blimps are blasting through without slowing.

Most are bumps in the road that taper on the sides. Vehicles with a wide enough wheelbase miss them amlost entirely, whereas my 1.6m wide car gets launched into the air.

The greater the kill capacity of your vehicle, the less you are affected by these "safety" devices.

If it leaves your device, you cannot control it.

I haven't financed a phone since 2008. I copped a fee for ending a 24 month contract a day early.

I just buy a cheap outright handset, flash a community ROM and avoid everything my telco offers past a $20 basic service. Handsets with community support go for years past what the manufacturers support.

A monitor is an output device. It cannot transmit or operate on a network. (inb4 ethernet over HDMI: There is no implementation of the spec in the wild).

If there's any ad tracking, it would have to be in your display driver on the PC.

As a Melburnian, I tend to agree.

I would imagine that any x64 binary compiled to work with both chipsets would only use the instructions that are common between them. This would mean there's not much gain in developing a new insutruction unless both companies support it.

I'm sure there's some super-optimised stuff out there that targets extra instructions when they're available, but it's very rare.

This is why it breaks. It's not a streaming CDN. Do you torrent over tor as well?
