Whoever made that website needs to never design another thing in their life.

and switch to smaller hybrids and/or EVs.
The result of that would be significantly more strain on the grid, and even more increases in power prices. Yay.
I love EV’s and my next car will be one, but we need to get our power grid shitshow sorted before any significant percentage of people get EVs or we’ll be up a creek without a paddle.
- Comment on Kyle and Jackie O’s controversial breakfast radio show taken off air after hosts fall out 12 hours ago:
IMO it feels like her way of getting out and getting paid. Claiming to feel “unsafe” because of something that was said at the workplace is setting up for a lawsuit.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 1 day ago:
So being encrypted before transmission and at rest isn’t enough simply because someone at backblaze can send the encrypted files out to you on a HDD…
lol
- Comment on In coal country this battery didn't stand a chance 1 day ago:
500kWh…that’s it? That’s only 10x my home battery, and it’s supposed to help a whole community? This would give 50 houses 10kWh each, so about 2 hours of power if they have their air-conditioning on lol. Less if they’re using it for heating.
Sorry but a 500kWh battery is borderline pointless for a community battery.
- Comment on In coal country this battery didn't stand a chance 1 day ago:
A significant portion of the people of this town genuinely thought that this battery was going to catch fire
You are aware that this is a risk with batteries like this, right? Right?
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 2 days ago:
So your whole point is that you shouldn’t trust one of the biggest cloud backup companies on the planet when they say that your data is encrypted, with no proof that they’re telling lies…and you’re asking me to prove that they’re telling the truth?
The onus is on you to prove that they’re telling lies, not on me to prove what they say is true.
- Comment on Cape York man’s conviction overturned after court finds magistrate made ‘inappropriate’ remarks 2 days ago:
There’s no lie in the bolded part though lol. He was told what he had to do or he could be charged. That means that if he doesn’t do it, he can be charged.
Again - what lie did the police tell?
- Comment on Simple inexpensive cloud backup? 2 days ago:
Time is money, and the time it would take to keep those backups up to date is not worth it over cloud backups.
- Comment on Simple inexpensive cloud backup? 2 days ago:
(split in 6 accounts)
This makes it not really suitable for this.
Backblaze desktop is your best option.

Where do they provide ace to the content without the user password?
- Comment on Cape York man’s conviction overturned after court finds magistrate made ‘inappropriate’ remarks 3 days ago:
Why won’t you answer the question?
Where is the lie in what they said?
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
Define “accessible” here. They’re encrypted ……
- Comment on Power Games: Who’s driving high power bills? 4 days ago:
As the percentage of renewables increases, power bills increase, not decrease. Have you not been paying attention?
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
not what most of us want
Strongly disagree.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
That’s really not an issue though.
- Comment on Block lays off 40% of workforce as it goes all-in on AI tools 4 days ago:
No it didn’t lol.
- Comment on Block lays off 40% of workforce as it goes all-in on AI tools 4 days ago:
He over hired during Covid, like every other tech company. AI is just an easy scapegoat to use to fire people now. Block still has more employees than pre-COVID after this cutting of 40% of the workforce.
Dorsey also has a history of over hiring. Twitter losing over half its employees when musk fired them and it not missing a beat is evidence of that.
- Comment on Cape York man’s conviction overturned after court finds magistrate made ‘inappropriate’ remarks 4 days ago:
Where’s the lie? He was told he had to do the stat Dec and name a person, and that if he couldn’t name the person then he could be charged. That’s legally and factually correct.
Again - where’s the lie?
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
It’s pretty clear actually - all data is encrypted at rest on their servers. They specifically say so.
- Comment on Lesbian group seeks legal exemption to exclude trans women from events 4 days ago:
The goalpost never moved. Read my original comment and you’ll see that I was very clear in what I said.
Also your new Wikipedia (lol) source says something like less than 3 people per year are killed because they’re trans. That’s essentially zero in statistics.
The percentage of women who are assaulted for being women is significantly higher than those assaulted for being trans.
Suicide rates having nothing to do with this conversation.
- Comment on Power Games: Who’s driving high power bills? 4 days ago:
The AEMO are the biggest vested interest in this. Nothing they say can be taken seriously.
Renewables don’t decrease prices because without transmission and grid-scale storage, which doesn’t even exist yet, it’s basically useless.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
That doesn’t mean it’s not encrypted on their servers……
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
Them having access to them is irrelevant if they’re encrypted. What’s the issue?
- Comment on Cape York man’s conviction overturned after court finds magistrate made ‘inappropriate’ remarks 4 days ago:
Which part do you think is a lie?
- Comment on Lesbian group seeks legal exemption to exclude trans women from events 4 days ago:
You missed a very important part of what I said - murdered because they were trans. You can’t just count every trans person that was murdered as being murdered because they were trans.
You’re also citing sources saying something like 50 trans people a year. That’s minuscule.
- Comment on Power Games: Who’s driving high power bills? 4 days ago:
Renewables did no such thing - the government subsidies did that.
- Comment on Cape York man’s conviction overturned after court finds magistrate made ‘inappropriate’ remarks 5 days ago:
The police didn’t lie to him. Those are what he had to do if he didn’t want to be charged.
What part do you think is a lie?
- Comment on Power Games: Who’s driving high power bills? 5 days ago:
“Renewables”. There’s no other answer. Ever since we started trying to eliminate the cheap, high energy density, reliable power sources (coal, gas) and started replacing them with unreliable, highly inefficient, spread out “renewables” our cost of power has skyrocketed.
The more “renewables” we put in the system, the higher the price goes. 50% of power bills are transmission costs, and the transmission costs for renewables are so high that the government refuses to disclose how high they are going to be. Pretty much every expert estimate puts it in the trillions of dollars.
- Comment on Apple introduces age verification for apps in Utah, Louisiana and Australia 5 days ago:
My iTunes/Apple account is over 20 years old so nothing will need to be done.
I MUCH prefer Apple/microsoft/Google being the points of authority on age verification than the government.
