while it's great there's robust debate (elsewhere in this thread), gven all the other self-serving things this govt has done, I think we can take this as unlikely to go well for 'the rest of us'...
This is a great cover for doxxing as a service!
/s - sorta...
This is really interesting - will done (I know, it's not done yet)
I fear you'll spend months occasionally retraining it though? (I have no experience in this, I just knows how brittle my code is)
Yeah, it probably is - in terms of low overheads and electricity. Not great for long term, as SSDs can fail spectacularly, but if it's a staging post for cloud syncing or another device elsewhere rather than the ultimate endpoint, that's probably good.
To be fair, I'm way behind in this topic myself
I never thought about it like that. Sickness v accidents...
I love ACC, it would be good for some of the nightmares of 'not covered' to become covered though. I thought the tone of this was bang-on (along the lines of too many beancounters have eroded it's scope)
Solid description, you're the greatest, Dave!
Quality Dave reference, well done!
Being crowded must magnify all those little annoyances, it seems?
Unnecessary shopping?? Fuck no!
The last thing I need is more hassle, Christmas carols and horrible shit I really don't need :)
I just can't understand how some shop as a hobby/past-time...
I've been looking at our electricity usage and discovered our meter stopped reporting it's usage a few months ago - that really skews things!
I chucked in a manual reading which wasn't too far off their estimate, but I'm irked that 'something' has stopped talking. Gave it a few pokes to see but no new data. On the ph to provider now, jooyyyeeee. Powershop really do have some strangely funky hold music, it's quite enjoyable - pity it's mono and basically 8kHz or whatever the phone lines do to muddy everything!
Also, is it just me or have many of the gentailers stopped publishing their actual rates / seeking new customers?
My son bought a cold home last week which is working it's way through the house. Sucks...
