@ChrisWHendricks @kellabyte I'm pretty sure they were 600 baud. (ITU v.22 = 600 baud with phase shift keying to give 1200bps)

@troyhunt No. But my kid's school does insist on installing spyware that, among other things, tracks the location of their Chromebook. #NotHappy

Hi @VicRoads . What happens to Optus hack victims who also have a marine license that shares a number with their car license? Do we get a new marine license too? No answer to my email messages so asking here instead.

Hey @ptv_official . Does 8 hours seem a little excessive before a new myki card is able to be registered online? 8 hours so far and still not working. Please fix your archaic systems.

Hey @Optus - are there any plans to introduce scheduling on Optus Pause to allow customers to set a recurring automated Pause schedule?

When you're in a band with Dave Grohl and you're the drummer (not him), you know you're one of the greats. An inspiration.

Banks have got to find a better way. Calling me from a number with no caller ID then expecting *me* to verify my ID by providing personal information is just normalising the behavior that scammers use and setting your customers up for a fail.

So after finally getting a @NBN_Australia tech out to fix my line last Monday (after being down for 6 days) it died again yesterday as soon as we got a bit of rain. Contacted the retailer, booked another appointment with NBN, then 5 minutes later got this. 😡

[Andrew Mitchell @amitchell01]

@NBN_Australia And if you really do appreciate that this isn't an ideal experience, why don't you do something about it? Surely notifying customers that you aren't going to be there instead of letting them sit around all day waiting isn't too much to expect, is it?

[Andrew Mitchell @amitchell01]

Why does @NBN_Australia fob customers off to retailers for missed appointments when the appointment was missed NBN? There's not much the retailer can do about a monopoly that's unable to meet its commitments or even let anyone know that they aren't going to bother turning up.

[Andrew Mitchell @amitchell01]

@NBN_Australia I have already been in contact with my retailer even though this is ENTIRELY due to NBN ineptitude and nothing to do with the retailer. The earliest NBN can rebook me is 4 days after the original missed appointment. Pathetic.
Starlink is looking pretty good right about now.

@g_mulholland Other than the groups of people standing around talking, the rest aren’t strictly breaking any rules. Whether those rules are sufficient is open to debate.

[Andrew Mitchell @amitchell01]

Which one is it @abcnews ? One, or all but one? There’s a huge difference.

[Andrew Mitchell @amitchell01]

Was just sent my contract by a well known buy-now-pay-later provider. Just one problem - the contract contains *someone else’s* personal details. They’ve certainly lost my trust. Time to cancel my account.

[Andrew Mitchell @amitchell01]

@VicGovDH @vicgovdh Does this also include relocating to a holiday house in regional Vic if your primary home is going to be without power (and sewerage) for another week?

[Andrew Mitchell @amitchell01]

@MomentumEnergy Why does your customer account password reset form prevent pasting into the Verify Password field? Prevents people using password managers to generate & insert secure passwords. Extremely silly and insecure practice.

@RachelDines You disabled wifi on the iPad but they can also tether via Bluetooth can’t they!

[Andrew Mitchell @amitchell01]

Surely the domain name in my email address should have tipped them off that network discovery on my employer's network would probably blow their tooling up...... 🤦🏻‍♂️

@shaun_r_ray @iTnews_au @NBN_Australia You've got HFC? Luxury!
