Probably too late for some of it. From what I've read, Joyce has let the competition leap frog then by not keeping up with infrastructure and replacing old planes.

It's going to require a lot of capital to fix that. Maybe they can just ask the government though.

You should read this page: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup

It's very detailed about what to do to get stuff working (on lots of distros), and what currently isn't working (see camera support etc)

I took a look in the past but deemed it too much of a compromise at the time for what wasn't working.

Just finished it. I'd heard about it, and many people recommend it when red October is mentioned (and vice versa). I'm not sure I'd put them in the same genre.

I'm not sure what I think at the moment. It was very long, but had some very intense scenes. I think it was trying to get me to feel deeply for the characters (especially the captain) but it didn't really reach me (spoiler) Eg The people jumping off the burning ship.

I'm also not sure yet what to think about the fact that (spoiler) the whole movie takes place on the submarine, with no cut aways. I think on one hand it added to the tension of surface ships trying to find them, but on the other hand it was difficult to orient the story without visuals for location or relative locations.

I feel the length was included to show how boring it can be waiting for orders or enemies, but a shorter cut might've been more engaging.

It's not a movie I'd go and rewatch in a hurry (if ever). Red October has much more rewatchability.

Wow sounded interesting so I checked in steam - the new one needs minimum 12GB ram???!

That's pretty much what a tokenizer does for Large Language Models like Chat-GPT. You can see how it works here: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

Type in the word 'Antidisestablishmentarianism' and you can see it becomes 5 tokens instead of 28 characters.

The only thing I've found that Firefox didn't work right with is certain SharePoint features, which unfortunately is a show stopper for me.

Well and the fact that smokers will rely more heavily on the free health system - it's in the government's interest to prevent people smoking to save money.

I wonder if having a more exposed 'open' port without the tongue would lead to more damaging debris getting lodged inside.

I shave a toothpick down to be half the width at the tip and use it to clean out lint etc

'of all time' - hmmm the earliest item on the list is the newton from the 90s, but then everything else is firmly in the last 20 years.

I think it depends on the game.

Need something fast paced, where the options don't really matter? Go with just labels and don't show the script.

Need fast paced but it matters? Go with the other commenter's game that has a time limit while still showing scripts.

Slow and doesn't matter? Do what you like, it doesn't matter.

Slow and matters? Think Fallout: New Vegas - excellent script detail and what you choose makes a big difference

Niche case- I'm a maths teacher and it's been good for replying to emails from students with problems.

It wasn't so much to not steal the interface, it was to not steal the whole unit from the car.

If the front was left attached, a thief would break in and steal the whole radio.

With the front off, it's basically useless to steal the in car part.

Perhaps I should've been more specific - the Insiders twitter had been shut down since near the start of the year.

The first four (at least) episodes of the show featured no mention of the royal Commission, which at the time was releasing damning findings and testimony what seemed like every few days. It was big news - just not on Insiders, where they can actually interview those part of it.

The insiders Twitter was full of people pointing out the lack of coverage, with no acknowledgement except for an abrupt shut down.

Really felt reminiscent of the 'don't mention NBN' in Q+A years ago.

But they're leaving their two main accounts - news and sports - on Twitter? The two things that people really use the ABC for?

Sounds like an 'exit' to me.

I always thought it was a bit harder in Australia, given that the language changes so much across such small distances.

Interesting that they point out closing the Insiders account - from my perspective it seemed like running away from viewers who were begging them to actually ask relevant questions of guests, such as the live royal Commission that didn't get a mention for 4 weeks.
