Hyundai's Ioniq series (5 specifically) is amazing. Kia EV6 is also quite strong.

Don't forget that term has a slightly different nuance to us aussies

You had me until there. I am pretty sure this is a troll that's going over 95% of people's heads, but if not then ... no. that is not an acceptable use care for a typical home office.

And that's minimum. Cafes etc will almost always pay minimum, but any sort of fine dining pays more.

In Australia the price they list is the price you pay for airline tickets...

You're wrong, but it's good that you put yourself out there.

I just click "zero", which is the biggest button in any aussie place I've been to that "offers" tipping.

Consumer DDR5 prices have tripled to quadrupled in the last 6 months.

I bought my daughter a PC in january, and I am building one for myself now.

In AUD the exact same 2x16GB DDR5 6000mT/s CL30 ram from the exact same store has gone from $182 to $699. Most of that increase has happened the last 8 weeks since these contracts were signed.

Yeah the mercedes when the turbo engines came in was just silly for 2+ years.
I'd say 50% of the grid as opposed to 90%, but similar point.

They should just do what other countries have done:

If it ends in 3,4,5,6,7 it rounds to 5 cents. If it ends in 8,9,0,1,2 it rounds to 0 cents

You have described how every other country getting rid of a 1c coin has done it.

if it ends in 3,4,5,6,7 it rounds to 5 cents. if it ends in 8,9,0,1,2 it rounds to 0 cents

Even if you're running windows you can make it auto log in and auto launch steam to big picture mode, so you never even know it's windows anyways.

You have this backwards, they aren't trying to push people to 2.0.
The current version is 7.5.

2.0 has been deprecated for more than 5 years, it was just the "default shipped" one for ages.

Crypto doesn't always mean PoW

So a few counter discussion points to that -

What 50 billion devices are you referring to? If you're counting android in there you shouldn't, you can't upgrade the kernel yourself and you're stuck with the vendor's decisions to update or not

What are you calling linux? The kernel only?
If the whole system, most distros require you to reboot with updates to core services/software, especially to the desktop environment.

Microsoft are idiots with this whole win10 to win11 debacle (what happened to win10 is the last version ever?), and they should simply disable the few features that require new chip features in a slightly cut down version (mostly security related, let the users choose, just like you can choose SE Linux or not).
