They are way behind TSMC terms of yield quality on the latest nodes, so they need to be doing something. But the bottleneck is ASML's EUV lithography hardware.

There is this wonderful program called Community Batteries, so it is already happening https://www.dcceew.gov.au/ener...

Victoria and Tasmania have the lowest electricity prices in the Country, I get them being left out for now. Also Tassie relies a lot on Hydro so it has a much lower spike in supply in the middle of the day that SA, NSW and Qld get due to the massive amounts of solar.

The big reason for this is we actually have enough roof top solar in Eastern Australia that on a clear summer day we produce too much for the grid to be stable, because they can't reduce the output coal fire power stations below a specific level. So currently what the energy wholesaler does is make the price negative which means the retailers who sell the roof top solar to the grid will have to pay them to take the power, so the retailers send a ripple command to smart metres to stop feeding back into the grid. So they will do this whenever solar power is at its peak and try and get people to move their heavy power consuming activities to that time. For a hot day, I'd remember to close my windows before I leave for work and just program my aircon to cool my house to the lowest possible temp during that time and shut off before the free time is up.

I'm currently in a calorie deficit of about 1000 kcal a day and on a plant-based diet, and I have no issues getting 1.6 g/kg of body weight just in my standard meals with no supplements. I am, however very active, with an estimated calorie output of about 3000 kcal People really need to be focusing on fibre more than protein, because it has a solid track record for improving health, and it's also very satiating. Which is why protein from plant foods is great, they tend to come packed with a lot of fibre too.

Annoyingly in Australia the PlayStation store price is often $10-$30 more than you can get from Amazon on day 1, so it only takes a few games purchased to cover the extra cost of buying the console with a disk drive. It doesn't make sense to have physical copies cost less to the consumer when they cost more to the supply chain.

Damn autocorrect, Just scared

Apple recently released third party support in their Find My App so if Tile wanted to they could leverage the same advantages as Apple has here. This like crying over spilt milk

Well if they are .com then they are all technically under US jurisdiction. Other countries have their own TLD

Microsoft has no authority here the court did. Microsoft filed suit against the company which they believed to be behaving illegally, the court agreed which then provided Microsoft the legal ability to proceed. In reality it shouldnâ(TM)t be up to private companies to take action against the guys, the FBI and other law enforcement around the world should be doing it but clearly arenâ(TM)t (probably due to lack of adequate funding) so private enterprise steps up

The article from phoronix.com says that not the apple article, but as per the stack exchange link someone did all they had to do was add the nvme ID into the right file. IE Linux doesn't pick up the storage controller by default yet because its so new, once a few updates are released it should work just fine if you disable secure boot.

Its only 30% for the first year, if a subscription is active more than 12 months it drops to 15% https://developer.apple.com/ap.... Its pretty reasonable for a distribution cut, just look at the kind of cut music distributors take before the Artist gets their share.

Yep it will indeed However you can't install 10.13 directly on a system with 10.6.8 you need to be on 10.8 or later but you can got to 10.11 and then to 10.13 Check out https://support.apple.com/en-a... for the link to download 10.11.6 from the appstore for free.

In Australia when you purchase and/or activate a SIM/Celluar service you must provide ID of one form or another. They accept government issue ID or a credit card number. It can be done in person, online or over the phone. We don't care about the device, just the celluar service. The data is not collected by the government but the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) which is and industry group with the members being our carriers, they also maintain the IMEI blacklist for phones reported stolen and all carriers subsribe to it, so a stolen phone can't be used on any Australian network

I just read the other day that Qantas is going to do this on some flight is Australia, but they are restricting use to Messaging and Data use only, so NO CALLING, Yeah!!
The last thing you want on a Red-Eye flight to/from Perth etc is some numbskull blabbering on his phone.

However it will be just like international romaing so its probably going to cost an arm and a leg to use
