Won’t this mean people are pushed onto dodgier sites that refuse to comply with the law?
See you all on tor.

The lesson: AI cannot bride an air-gapped backup. This could all be prevented with a crappy portable hard drive from costco.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 3 days 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 3 days ago:
Even at $3.60, the supermarkets are pissing on you and telling you it’s raining.

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 4 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.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 4 days ago:
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 4 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.

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 5 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. 6 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

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? 6 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 6 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” 6 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 1 week 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.

Gina was probably there when he came up with the idea.

Imagine this happening and Facebook will somehow still be an AI sloptrough.
- Comment on Amazon service was taken down by AI coding bot 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.
