R.I.P. Telsa Customer Support and 'premium product for a premium price'. Telstra.. A once great 'if you pay for it(and you will), we'll make sure you get what you want' company.. Now is just over priced..
I keep forgetting this day exists.. The day that you can't trust anything you read(well, less so than normal) and a lot of good stuff is lost in the wave of crap. Still, at least it starts and is over quickly enough.
Just leave the UI alone during your improvements?:) It's good having a site that doesn't peg CPUs, consume vast amounts of bandwidth or require modern graphics cards just to render the page.:)
Or the Australian ABC? The TV station that the government loves when they are running for election and hates when they are in power? (The ABC are well known for having their funding threatened by just about every in power government for pointing out every mistake they make and being very unbiased about things no matter who it makes look bad.)
Looking forward to taking one of these cardboard interface devises and using a OpenMV camera making my own generic interfaces. Very well done Nintendo! Not interested in the games at all, but the ideas and implementation of the cardboard part is very good.
If you can type well on the 701, then you'ld like the keyboard on the GPD Pocket. High res screen, 8Gb ram, 128Gb SSD, selection of other standard stuff. Comes in windows and linux versions. And something around the $500 price.
Except that in Australia our toilets don't swirl.. No siphon, all surface tension and hydrodynamics. A huge rush of water like a set of white water rapids and all is gone.:)
All of I can think of is how redundant that title is. I'd suggest: 'New Particle Detected the Large Hadron Collider' Unless there is a second(third? How many of these things are there?) LHC I haven't heard of and maybe the Janitors or random people off the street are coming in at night to play?
I've never fully understood the huge hate and 'we need to go carbon neutral, so we'll back off one of the biggest carbon neutral power sources we have' thing.. Nuclear power is safe, efficient, clean and very well regulated. There are better tech, like Thorium medium term and Fusion long term that need to take over from it, but for the next 100 years or so, it would be a brilliant way to get lots of power, very cleanly.
This isn't the 60's.. Reactor tech has improved a/lot/. All the big disasters have been plants that should have been replaced many years ago and often during conditions that were far outside what they were designed for.
But hey, 'nuke plants are bad' makes better headlines than 'This isn't without it's downsides but it's better than most of what we have'.
Here it protects the consumers. Still a pain to claim and the ACCC is kinda weak, laws are good but for apple the punishments are a slap on the wrist. For further entertainment. Youtube: "the checkout apple" or "the checkout australian consumer law"
They managed to take a smart watch that would last 10 days.. And dragged it down to four.. Then wreck it! Oh yes... I'm keeping my Pebble Classic... It'll be more useful as just a watch even when all the smart stuff stops working than this thing.
Stuff the food.. Free Robot! Steal enough of them and build yourself an army of evil(They are stolen after all) robot minions to do your bidding and take control! *MWAhahaha!*
I'm sad that one of my favorites have come to an end. http://www.sabrina-online.com/ First started in 1996 and only finished end 2017. With four-ish pages a month. (Archive: http://www.sabrina-online.com/... ) And for the geeks, it was and mostly is still done with an Amiga. Fans of the platform will know EWS's style.:)
Expose every kid to programming? Sure! Force every kid to 'be able to program' no. Treat it like Ceramics or Drama.. A pass should be 'I did the exercises and now I know what it's like'. And like those subjects, those who really like it/are good at it will continue on and do the 'real' programming/CS subjects. Those who have no affinity at all for it can move on to what they are good at.
And in an ideal world this would be true. Problem is the 'we only want to make one version' problem. Easier to secure their own product line and get it certified everywhere than an 'FCC only' version. There'll be open versions, we'll just loose easy and affordable access to gear we can secure and play with. Doesn't matter for amateurs in Oz anyway, ACMA sold off a big chunk of the 13cm band anyway.
I got one of these: https://dangerousthings.com/sh... I no longer carry any keys. Car, house and phone all submit to my hand. And no more hunting for where I left the damned things!

'Basic HTML' mode still works for me.. So I'm happy with the UI.. :)

Also for Firefox too as can be quickly found out.
Makes it harder for google to block should they wish.

Title says "Begins Digging" yet he's only now been "granted permission"?
Wrong headline is wrong.

The Australian consumer Law cannot be signed away. Same in the EU. More than one company has tried this and it never, ever holds up.

While neither will do HF nativly, try one of their two with the matching transverters.

Both USB, both nice to use. HackRF has wider bandwidth and transmits. Airspy is more sensitive and stable.
