Dear @ScottMorrisonMP and @LiberalAus are you still planning to go ahead with new *coal* power plants? Or are you perhaps shifting your focus to renewable tech? Can we please have an update, in light of recent events? #ClimateChange #AustraliaBurning #Coalmining

BREAKING NEWS

@MKBHD About time, a decade later. The parental control of Apple devices has always been completely awful. As a parent, I found Google's Family Link to be far superior - with great control through the app.

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@alex35571 Thanks; that looks very clean, nice! I'll likely go with the official one as well.

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@techAU The TC in the AWD LR3 is extremely predictable and effective in an almost boring yet satisfying way. Very consistent, kicks in with just the right amount.

Speaking as someone who has spent a large amount of hours in his iRacing simrig, with the old Porsche Cup as the favourite.

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@techAU I have the same relationship with my 2022 LR3. Absolutely love it. 🫡❤️

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@alex35571 Me 👀 your bike rack and being jealous of that gravel ride! 🫡😅 Need to get my TM3 tow bar upgrade!

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@big_mafuta @ev_australia Lol, that's not what my grin said when I properly floored my AWD LR Model 3 for the first time back in 2022. Effing phenomenal drive, and the zero noise means you can get away with it too.

@AmazonKindle Why aren't you showing cover art for delisted books anymore on the actual devices eg Paperwhite 12 SE or the new Colorsoft SE - when the Android app renders them fine? Really mars the experience of my new devices (got both). Please fix, thanks!

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@TechOperator For reference it takes me less than 15 seconds extra to plug in or out as I come home or leave, vs just heading straight inside from the garage or vice versa.

@iRacing Roughly since your public launch – August 7, 2008. Low 5 digit user ID starting with 20. :-)

AusGov’s genius plan: Ban my 15yo from a supervised YouTube Family account (no ads, Restricted Mode, no comments)…

So he’ll just watch anonymously – unfiltered and wide open. 🤪

@PALMabuhayMiles Hey when responding to your customer service email, I got the auto response that your mailbox is full. Can you please have your IT investigate? Thanks.

@charlyjl @goodfoodgal I didn't realise GitHub had made this list, so had to check - it has. WTAF! As a software engineer who started on the Vic20 when I was 10, this is moronic through and through. Also: I monitor my 15 year old son's Internet usage much more competently than the gov ever could.

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@kayosports_help Thanks unfortunately your support was unable to provide anything past what you already covered on the support pages. It crashed yet again whilst explaining all the steps I've gone through.
I will stick with Standard on the HTPC, Premium surely can't be production ready on the PS5

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@kayosports Thanks for the free trial of 4k. Great Q but on son's PS5 every 5 minutes of my F1 looks like this!? Gigabit wired ethernet, reset the caches from safeboot, reinstalled the app no help. Back to watching it in "potato" on the HTPC desktop, which works. (Cancelled 4k).

Listen to that roar!

@BalazsRemenyik Congrats, well done!

@pathofexile That was super quick, wasn't expecting to be able to log in today but my Steam purchase (yesterday, after seeing the capacity heads up video - respect!) sent me straight in after the initial login problems this 🇦🇺 morning. Kudos to your DevOps team, big GZ on the release. 🎉

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Seems like a backdoor way to control access to the Internet by all Australians

[J Smith @jsmithdev]

@SmindCrypto @elonmusk When some absurdly high percentage of those recalls are just OTA updates, this statement is moronic - pure and simple.
