  • I'd say you didn't actually remove the garbage. "Settings, apps, uninstall" doesn't really get rid of it, the deployment package is still hanging around.

    You need to use powershell to de-deploy those packages.

    It's a bit like the difference between "apt remove" and "apt purge"

  • I've got a fire suppression system. An agricultural sprinkler on each of the two roof peaks, fed by a pump from storage tanks. We're off-grid (no mains) and already have the storage tanks - 2 x 22500litre/5000 gallons. With full tanks, the sprinklers should operate for ~7 hours, which is way more than necessary - three to four hours would be enough. The sprinklers "throw" interlocking circles of water, they intersect over the roof and saturate all the ground and foliage out to about 15 metres/50 feet. Water falling on the roof goes back into the tanks. The pump is electric, but being off-grd, we've got big batteries and a backup generator, so I'm confident the pump would run long enough for the fire to pass.

  • What I'd like to know is how the hell do they manage corrosion in all that salty air? Sure, the op centre is probably filtered and air-conditioned, but if there's one thing about marine environments, salt corrosion will happen, and you can't put 30 coats of paint on a floppy drive's components.

  • I was system operator for an IBM System/36 in the mid-late 1980s and that thing used two 10-slot magazines of 8" floppies for backup.

    It was replaced in 1989 with an AS400 that used half-inch tape.

    And that backup solution was replaced with an LTO library.

  • The Australian federal election senate ballot paper would like a word. Senators are popularly elected in Australia. You're thinking of the UK, where the "upper house" AKA "House of Lords" are appointed. And until recently, some of the positions were hereditary. If you were the first son of "Lord Blatherskate", you would become Lord upon his death, and proceed to occupy his seat in the House of Lords.

  • Same in Australia. The libnats (right-leaning) broke the fibre-optic rollout by claiming it would be too expensive, and replaced it in non-metro areas with wireless, claiming 25Mbps was adequate. They didn't mention that slow internet would benefit the Murdoch -owned Foxtel satellite services. And here we are now with internet services worse than some poorer countries.

    I chose Starlink because I will never get fibre optic, my only broadband option is geo-synch satellite, with speed and data caps, and 600ms latency.

  • "canceling annual plans could trigger fees amounting to 50 percent of their remaining subscription cost" You cannot unilaterally change the T&Cs without an option to opt out of the new conditions, but still insist on the old T&C terms. WTF is wrong with Adobe, are they stupid?
