- Comment on The 'house of mum and dad': Boomers, young Australians divided over housing shift 2 weeks ago:
I still wonder why it is so unusual from young adults to still live with their parents in so many places. It’s quite common in eastern European countries and it does make sense, now more than ever.
- Comment on Luckily work paid for this tank full... 2 weeks ago:
That’s roughly 1.92€ per litre. Over here in Germany you’re paying over 2.20€ for a litre of diesel right now.
- Comment on Australia may face fuel 'bumps' as oil tanker voyages cancelled 2 weeks ago:
The fuel prices in Australia right now are as high as they were in Germany like 10 years ago… It’s not that bad, just saying
- Comment on Public restrooms in Osaka to get in-stall video screens with ads 2 weeks ago:
Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don’t mind.
Something tells me that’s just wishful thinking, though…
- Comment on Not so express post 2 weeks ago:
I sent exactly one parcel through Australia Post and it was weirdly routed via Arundel, QLD to get from Sydney to Wagga Wagga. Maybe that’s just balancing the load across different distribution centres but it’s still weird. Added like another week of travel time.

I kinda love the Fiero tbh

Already thought about migrating to EndeavorOS. I hope they can manage to keep the whole thing going.

Nah, Sam. I think it’s your time that’s soon over…
- Comment on Consumer watchdog summoning major fuel suppliers to explain skyrocketing prices 3 weeks ago:
During the oil crisis in the 70s, the German government introduced the “Autofreier Sonntag” (Car-fee Sunday). On four days per year, no-one (apart from emergency responders, police etc.) was allowed to drive their car.
I think this should make a comeback, maybe even an international one.
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 3 weeks ago:
So no more UWP apps? Ok, I thought those were supposed to be the future but whatever…
- Comment on Australia: Taiwanese Indigenous group's planned performance at AFC Asian Cup match between Taiwan and China cancelled at the last minute for "political reasons" 3 weeks ago:
Is this another one of those “[blank] shouldn’t be political” excuses?
- Comment on The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals 3 weeks ago:
Apple is also responsible for the Beats line of products since they bought the rights some time ago.
- Comment on The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals 3 weeks ago:
Reading through the study, not all samples contained unsafe levels of those chemicals. It’s interesting to note how many brand-name over-ear and in-ear headphones do, though, including products by Apple, Bose, Samsung and Sony.
Unfortunately, none of the headphones I own were on the list.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 3 weeks ago:
For most common users they don’t care. They don’t even know what soldered RAM is.
They should, because when it’s time to sell the laptop one with soldered RAM is gonna be worth a lot less (at least to me).
Chromebooks with low RAM are fine for many use cases. I’ve got a chromebook with only 4GB of RAM and its perfectly fine for web browsing or watching streaming which is the only things I use it for.
Fair, but there’s still the potential of it becoming a paperweight if the RAM chips give out or Google forces AI shit into ChromeOS.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 3 weeks ago:
Fair enough. Although Asus sells at least one laptop with 8 GB of soldered RAM, too.
Granted, it’s “only” a Chromebook, but still.
- Comment on One-fifth of Australian imports have probable links to forced labour 4 weeks ago:
One-fifth is still surprisingly low, I expected it to be like 50%
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 4 weeks ago:
He pointed to the laptop’s 8GB of “unified memory,” or what amounts to its RAM, and how customers can’t upgrade it.
Yes, because Asus laptops all have non-soldered RAM…
- Comment on Iran includes American tech giants on list of new targets 4 weeks ago:
I guess Trump is getting what he wants, he’s getting a spot in the history books. As the one who started WWIII.
Congratulations. Peace Committee my ass.

bum gin
What’s that?

It’s the toilet paper crisis all over again
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 4 weeks ago:
Can’t they just leave the one company that’s been consistently good to its customers alone?
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 4 weeks ago:
Still pretty cool
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 4 weeks ago:
Fair enough
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure if I blame them more than the people who go on these tours, though, for some people it’s literally just “been there, done that”.
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 4 weeks ago:
Just like the Three Sisters up in the Blue Mountains; just loads of Asian tourists taking a couple of selfies before hopping on the tour bus again.
At that point you could just get a greenscreen and chromakey yourself in at home, heck of a lot cheaper…
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 4 weeks ago:
It’s so fascinating how much the government didn’t care about cultural sites back then. Hell, you could land on Uluru with a plan back then.

For some reason I’m picturing Sydney Mecham, only that it’s actually IN Sydney
