- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 day ago:
Yes. It’s like this for close to half the product range at both Coles and Woolworths.
“50% off” I consider to be the normal price. Every price is either doubled or not. There are no “specials”.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 day ago:
Even at $3.60, the supermarkets are pissing on you and telling you it’s raining.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 day ago:
Coles Trend.
You might need to upgrade your browser 😉

I actually saw Tim Tams on the shelf at a Morrison’s in Northern Scotland, and it was cheaper than Coles in Australia. It’s absurdly priced here.
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 days ago:
Moto have been making phones for as long as there has been phones. Software issues would get fixed. I don’t think hardware issues are likely.

No, that’s different. Displaylink is basically KVM over USB-C.

DisplayLink. The Dell box I use to hotdesk my office laptop by day also works as a KVM on my pixel 9a. I get power, monitor, keyboard, mouse and ethernet on one cable.

I already have a browser plugin that tells me the price history of everything at Coles. There’s one for Woolies too.

I hope they call it “SlopTrough”
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 2 days ago:
The enterprise editions don’t seem to attract all of the bloat that home and pro editions get. I think they know they can’t get away with it.
- Comment on What us the best way to add remote access to my servers? 3 days ago:
Make it a subdomain on a wildcard cert if you’re concerned about that.
- Comment on Gold Coast draws line in the sand on Trump Tower proposal 3 days ago:
They missed two important details:
- Trump never pays up.
- Lots of people will want to bomb it.
There is absolutely nothing in this for Australia.
- Comment on WhatsApp will now show ads. 4 days ago:
It’s SUCH a battle. The only people I had on Signal were my immediate family. I just replaced it with my own XMPP server so my kids can join without a SIM.

Poor Meta are just trying to make ends meet. /s
- Comment on The REAL reason Aussies don't use route numbers | Building Beautifully 4 days ago:
I stopped counting after the M1. I don’t even know what the M2 is.
- Comment on Ohio EPA weighs allowing data centers to dump wastewater into rivers 4 days ago:
You’d think that once the water is cooled, you could send it through again.
- Comment on What us the best way to add remote access to my servers? 4 days ago:
Just expose it on single-stack IPv6. Nobody ever knocks. The address space is not scannable.
- Comment on Australia says it may go after app stores, search engines in AI age crackdown 4 days ago:
We should just turn them off. We can’t sustain them.
- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 4 days ago:
I’m glad my work PC only operates in flight mode.
- Comment on It's rude to show AI output to people | Alex Martsinovich 6 days ago:
I appreciate the honesty when they say it’s an AI response and not genuine knowledge.
When I tell someone “an LLM told me that…” It’s usually followed by “Let’s see if there’s any truth to it.” An AI response should always be treated as a suggestion, not an answer.
Hell, Google’s AI still doesn’t know which day the F1 GP is on this week. It was wrong by a whole week a while back. Now it’s only off by a day.
- Comment on Instagram says it will alert parents if their teen repeatedly searches for terms related to self-harm or suicide in the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia 1 week ago:
Insta will tell them do a flip.
- Comment on Three-quarters of Australia’s new cars use more fuel than advertised lab rating, testing shows 1 week ago:
I remember when Clarkson drove a BMW 5 series and a Prius around the test track flat-out, and they consumed similar amounts of fuel. Their labels showed the Prius was meant to use much less.
- Comment on US mining company Alcoa hit with ‘unprecedented’ $55m penalty for illegal clearing of Western Australia jarrah forests 1 week ago:
“It’s the largest conservation‑focused commitment of its kind"
This is depressing. That’s $2 per Australian. A miniscule amount. We spent more than that on a single outer-suburban train station.
- Comment on Trump Tower planned for Surfers Paradise will be Australia’s tallest building and ‘best resort’, local developer claims | Gold Coast 1 week ago:
Gina was probably there when he came up with the idea.
- Comment on Zuckerberg’s “Fix” for Child Safety Could End Anonymous Internet Access for Everyone 1 week ago:
Imagine this happening and Facebook will somehow still be an AI sloptrough.
- Comment on Amazon service was taken down by AI coding bot 1 week ago:
The last AI that Microsoft made capable of learning turned into a Nazi within hours.
- Comment on The creator of systemd wants your entire system validated by SecureBoot 1 week ago:
I wonder if this would allow an anti-cheat system to get acceptable trust of a system without having to access ring 0.
Of course, we’d then need the OS / kernel images to be signed. I think most gamers run stock kernels anyway.
I just don’t want see the garbage that is the Android Play Store where apps refuse to run because we run an OS that isn’t profitable to Google.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Software bloat will hurt more and will require re-thinking. Efficiency will matter again.
This is the next battlefront. I already see it happening. Software requiring significantly more resources with each iteration to do the same job.
They’re going to try and push us off older devices, and hope we use their devices instead.
- Comment on Amazon service was taken down by AI coding bot 2 weeks ago:
I wasted an hour this week expaining to CoPilot why it was wrong and dismissing every suggestion it made in a code review. In all of it, it didn’t spot a legitimate problem.
- Comment on Facebook is absolutely cooked 2 weeks ago:
What’s weird is that facebook only fills my feed with slop when I open in on my phone.
On my desktop browser, my feed only contains things I have subscribed to.
I logged out from my phone. It’s just unusable.
