- Comment on End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas Eve | Liverpool 5 weeks ago:
It’s a tricky industry I think.
We’re seeing about a 4% year on year decline in FM listeners if I remember correctly. Advertisers like metrics that radio can’t deliver. Spotify and YouTube are the main winners.
I still run a volunteer run community station and we’re able to break even, but with power bills over $1,000 a month plus insurances and other fees, it’s not so easy. We’re still having fun though :)
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 1 month ago:
Pretty mental isn’t it!
I’m in Australia. We might be a bit nuts over here but at least we have Medicare. Private health insurance is optional and becoming increasingly expensive, but the public system, although stressed, covers everyone.

Decompose.

As a viewer on Google Sheets I don’t think I can contribute.
I dare say you’ll remember anyway. It makes a fair difference over a year.

Hope he gets to Spain ok.

But Raygun did a great break dancing set in the Olympics.

Looks good :)
Do you account for some recharges being 30 days (Aldi) vs 28 days (Boost)?

You mean the attack of the ants?

At last, a reply that understands the difference between heat pumps vs resistive heating.
- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 2 months ago:
Partly why I use Voyager with page numbers. Gives you a clear stop point.
- Comment on Bluesky’s upcoming premium plan won’t give paid users special treatment 2 months ago:
I’m still banned from there after saying, regarding Eneloop batteries, the white ones are better than the black ones (if you need slower self discharge.)
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 2 months ago:
This tower has about a 20km radius on average due to topography, covers a stretch of the New England Highway and also covers the nearby village of Black Mountain. A good few hundred phones will be in range I expect.
The tower also has cells for Optus and Vodafone, but they are a significant minority of customers in this area.
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 2 months ago:
Well, they do break guitars…
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 2 months ago:
For cell / mobile phones, you’re sharing the capacity of the cell among multiple people.
In this example, a rural cell tower can provide up to 395Mbps.
It would only take 40 people watching Kayo at high definition (or any high definition video service) via their phone or a 4G router to saturate this tower.
For everyone else at this time, it’ll still work but even though they might have a strong radio signal (lots of bars), the internet will become slow.

Aah the joys of 256 color video cards.

Set up a new pc for someone today. Turned off an the OneDrive backup options. Rebooted and copied their files from a USB to sata adapter. They turned the backup settings back on again!
Can’t trust Microsoft.

Not sure about the science…
- Comment on Cereal 4 months ago:
I remember the 80s ads where the right side of the letter K was imposed over a woman in profile’s lips on a gaping mouth.
Something along the lines of “Special K keeps you looking good.”
- Comment on Grid-scale batteries: They’re not just lithium 4 months ago:
Yes, but with a limited cycle life of typically 300 or so, significantly reduced if the battery is ever more than 50% discharged.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 4 months ago:
UraniumBlazer is using contractions such as u instead of you.
Back in the early days of texting, this saved time, and potentially money as well since you paid for each 144 (or was it 160) characters.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 4 months ago:
T9 was a rapid entry system for sending texts using a number pad on a phone.
Instead of doing hello as 44 33 555 555 666 you could do 43556 and it’d predict ‘hello’.
