  Guess which of your competitors offer remote working and has a product that smokes you?

  Haven’t touched VMware for years Hyper-V does everything I need.

  Now with Azure I don’t even need to manage the virtualisation just use an arm template to spin something up in 2 secs. I know Azure compute uses something based off Hyper-V, haven’t really used AWS, does Amazon use technology from VMware for their virtualisation?

  I think if they passed the legislation first as a trial and then if it went well put it through a referendum there would be more support.

  I’m not saying he would but he could just force it through legislation now, with the greens support and independents support, Pocock is in ACT who was the only place to vote yes, I think they have enough to pass.

  Sure it will go against the results of the referendum, or “the will of the people” but it will be a legal way to do it. I think if it went through legislation it would become like GST, deeply unpopular at the time but it just becomes fait accompli and noone would dare reverse it. Because once in noone wants the optics of being “the racist in the parliament” besides maybe ONP.

  I hope you have that machine on a separate VLAN that’s completely firewalled, segregated from the rest of your network, with access to the internet but not the rest of your LAN.

  Because if it does then other devices on your network would be potentially vulnerable.

  I’ve worked with PC’s that are out of support and the company too tightarse to pay for windows updates. The LAN cable was unplugged and you could only access it by physically being on the PC, but it won’t work in your instance as you need the internet to play games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It sure does. But if businesses haven’t panicked then a home user doesn’t need to.

  Reviewing and redoing intune policies, deployments, software compatibility testing, driver deployment ,reconfiguring autopilot and testing through the rings is an absolute pain in the arse.

  For personal deployments you can deploy within one day. No need to worry about any of the above. So if businesses aren’t worried yet neither should regular consumers.

  Wow I hope you’re not doing your banking on that PC.

  Looking at the CVE for windows 7 after January 2020 (end of support)

  www.cvedetails.com/…/Microsoft-Windows-7.html?ven…

  Doesn’t look pretty. Many exploits to give attackers elevation of privileges (administrator to your PC), remote code execution etc.

  These don’t require you to download “dodgy” software. It happens because parts of the windows source code isn’t coded to perfection (as with all software) and then the attackers exploit the code in a way not originally intended by Microsoft.

  This risk is elevated when the operating system is out of support because different windows systems share the same code base, so when Microsoft releases security updates and CVE reports to the internet, attackers can read these and find out how to attack unpatched systems even if they did not know about the exploit beforehand.

  So it’s imperative to apply the patches in a timely manner usually within 24-48 hours after release.

  On a side note windows 7 isn’t out of support, Microsoft is still releasing patches for it along with XP. Many enterprises have to use these operating systems for compatibility with their software, they are getting the updates because they’re paying Microsoft millions of dollars for them. So are you saying that other users of windows 7 are wasting their millions of dollars for “overrated” security updates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows 7? How are you getting your security updates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Windows 10 isn’t even close to end of support.

  If enterprise users haven’t moved over then individual users don’t need to.

  I will move over before support finishes but make no mistake that’ll be because I’m forced to due to security reasons and not because I want to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSW Labor rejects renewed calls for pill testing after festival deaths⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For some unknown reason the parties are swapped in NSW.

  For example LNP in NSW would bring in policies that the Labor party would bring in other states, whereas the opposite is true for NSW Labor.

  NSW LNP had very good policies like the electric vehicle policy, electric vehicle charging grants, they are the party of infrastructure with the westconnex and metro projects up, Parramatta light rail.

  Whereas Chris Minns and Labor I’d actually compare Minns with the onion eater of all people. Very good at cancelling projects because he didn’t think of it first and provides no policies or thoughts of his own.

  Wanted to cancel the metro, whilst providing nothing in replacement (only saved because the project is too far to be cancelled), too scared to do anything in regards to housing policy, no pill testing is the latest one. Cancelled the ev grants. In fact I’m not sure of anything that they’ve done through their own policies since they came in. Hopefully an one term government because they seriously lack vision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Greens agree to support Labor’s $10bn housing fund, breaking months-long impasse⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like NSW governments policy. Highrise depends on infrastructure and not how far it is from the CBD. But it is still not good enough.

  We have 220m+ in Parramatta which is 20km from CBD and from what I understand the application for it to be higher was denied because it was too close to the airport.

  Macquarie Park, Rhodes are new suburbs with 150m+ (definition for a skyscraper). Many others are getting 100m+, Olympic Park, Liverpool etc.

  So it is quite spread out already. Even places very far away from Sydney like Penrith, Rouse Hill, Edmondson Park and Leppington will be zoned for high rise.

  But we need to overhaul the zoning laws for the missing middle. In Sydney Bankstown to Marrickville and Revesby to Turella should all be up for 100m towers or maximum allowed due to proximity to airport.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The great debate: Is football now Australia’s national sport?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In women’s rankings we actually do quite well, we’re 10th ahead of nations with a rich footballing culture such as Portugal, Italy, Belgium and Argentina. That’s why we’re talking about it. Our women can make the semi finals as we’ve shown here, our men have no chance.

  Another thing is that this is the closest we’re getting to a world cup in Australia. That’s why the support is where it is now. Would the support be the same if it’s held in Europe or South America? I think half the people won’t wake up at whatever o’clock it is to watch the games.

  Yes we have interest in football, after all it’s the most popular sport by far in the world. The Europeans and the South Americans can play well, so why can’t we? I think the answer is as simple as the tyranny of distance.

  It’s way harder for players based here with family here to be able to go to a good academy because it’s half a world apart. The best coaches, the best facilities aren’t in Australia. We can’t get any of the European teams to come and play any consistent games here because it’s just too far besides the token pre season friendly if we’re lucky.

  Yes a struggling league isn’t due to a lack of interest in football you’re right. There is interest. I would call it untapped potential. Yes it’s got the highest participation rate but somehow there’s a missing link to turn the participation rate to form a quality league (I wouldn’t say quality players because we do get them as I mentioned but they all just leave).

  The A league has a player retention problem. And here’s the problem - two players get offers one from an A-league team and one from I would even say EFL championship team, where will the player go most of the time? It’s brain drain.

  Like I said we need more than a world cup every 4 years, we need quality teams that people can go watch after work. That’s why the AFL and NRL is so popular. These players are around, the clubs are down the road. The stadium is down the road.

  Back to the women’s football, only courtnee vine and clare hunt play in Australia. This is similar for mens. Otherwise we’ll have this conversation every 4 years where football falls off the radar for the general population.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The great debate: Is football now Australia’s national sport?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny you mention him, but it was probably the best he could do. He had only one year in the premier league in his entire career. Until we see players that have the middle of their careers in a league it’s all moot.

  Domestic leagues are important due to accessibility. You’re not going to have as much of a following if you can only watch it on tele at stupid o’clock.

  That’s half the reason why the NRL and AFL are popular, you can go to a game after work. We are the best in Aussie rules because we’re practically the only country that plays it and similar to rugby league with the super league at a lower level to the NRL. We are the best of the best in those games.

  Football? I would rate A league on the level of EFL league 2. Certainly not one of the top leagues in the world. People want to watch the best and their support is reduced by not being one of the best.

  I see more people with EPL/La Liga etc shirts than local teams around town. That alone says something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The great debate: Is football now Australia’s national sport?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not in a million years.

  Noone aspires to play in the A-league. Until we get a league that gives the European leagues a run for the money this statement isn’t really true.

  We can’t even beat the Chinese or Saudis in getting almost retired players over because we can’t match them. And also without youth development academies it’s just not going to work. Ask China and soon to be Saudi Arabia how splashing a wad of cash is going to work without spending money on grass roots development.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian Cheng Lei's first message from Chinese prison describes harsh conditions⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok so she’s bilingual. But I still refute that she did much journalism. Sprouting propoganda and operating in a censored environment isn’t really journalism in my books. She had no editorial independence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian Cheng Lei's first message from Chinese prison describes harsh conditions⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe but that makes it even more perplexing why she would go. It’s not like she would do any actual journalism there like I said. Being told what to say rather than telling the truth isn’t really journalism.

  You don’t even need to look at Carl’s Jr. Just look at taco Bell I’ve walked past it and am convinced it’s used as either money laundering or a tax write off. There’s never anyone there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian Cheng Lei's first message from Chinese prison describes harsh conditions⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The warning signs are all there. It’s no coincidence that China has become more belligerent as their economy has faltered, they are a dictatorship and they need to divert the attention. Expect more of the same or even dialled up a notch or two as stagnation becomes long term.

  Second I wouldn’t say being a journalist in China has any prestige. Certainly not any investigative journalism there. You’re just told to say what you’re told to say, you can pick some random person off the street for that, I mean how hard is that? Would her “experience” mean much outside of China? It’s like a person having 10 years experience but never moved beyond the duties of a graduate.

  Third she could have gone to Taiwan. If she’s struggling to get a job in Australia (I assume due to language abilities?) Taiwan speaks her native language so she would fit right in there and not be in this predicament.

  But the end of the day they target us because we can’t do anything to counter it. Americans would probably lock up a Chinese citizen on trumped up terrorism charges as leverage whereas Australia doesn’t.

  Not sure why football needs to be in Aussie zone it’s not specific to Australia.

  Our top league the A league is probably comparable to EFL league 2, no footballer worth their salt aspires to play in Australia.
