An an Australian with Bixby - Id rather not have it. Ive never intentionally tried to open it, only accidentally, by swiping the wrong way at the wrong time, or accidentally pushing that button. Personally, Id rather that the button do nothing, compared to what it actually does.
When I first bought the phone, the Remote app was quite useful. But every update it got bigger and worse, taking over more of the phone and including more advertising until it finally became the monstrosity of the 'Peel Smart Remote'. Id rather no IR remote on my phone than having that app installed.

Because the free market has decided that the pay is too low. H2-B is just to keep wages low.
> Windows 10 has high DPI support... too bad 99% of Microsoft apps don't actually support it.
I would argue this. Windows 10 doesnt properly support High DPI. There are issues all over the place. Theres no consitency - even amongst its own windows 10 bundled programs. There's constant bugs and issues. Scaling going haywire. Remote desktop to other servers is a crap shoot. And hell, dont remote desktop to your own High DPI machine from a machine thats NOT high DPI - you'll most likely need a reboot of the high DPI machine to fix the issues caused there. Im still looking at windows explorer completely unscaled on a 4k monitor because I was silly enough to remote in from my laptop over the weekend.
We rolled out 4 4K monitors as a test. They were universally hated across the company because of windows. Im stuck with 2, and the Mac guy has 2. He's loving life!
Your numbers are way out. Take a typical modern panel, like the Sunpower 300. You are looking at 200W/m^2. They can be place side by side on a roof. Typical home systems in Australia are now 6-10KW. Wind and Solar are getting cheaper, and they arent competing for land. Wind works well with farmland - its also being installed offshore. Solar works well on buildings and carparks. We arent anywhere near a position where it needs to compete for land.
No, its basically just bash and command line utils. Theres still quite a few features that dont work right. Hell, ping would only work for a current administrator up until a couple of months ago.
Over 80% of the Australian Population lives within a 50km long strip of the East Coast.
The distance here isnt the issue. All of the spare areas are to be covered by Satellite and or Fixed wireless. At the moment, they are currently busting their balls to turn Cable internet into the worlds only L2 provisioned wholesale service, and trying to wrangle a dilapidated copper access network that is life expired into VDSL. Copper maintenance is over 10 times what they budgeted for. And the budget for maintenance and power was 10 times what it costs to run a fibre network.
Exactly. If he has put his name behind it, it means we arent going to get it.
This is a man who was 100% behind curbing carbon emissions and having an emissions trading scheme. A few years later (a month ago), he's passing a lump of coal around parliament while they all congratulate themselves on how good it is.
Thats because tthe object oriented features were buggy as all hell. I have never worked with a program that was as buggy as Foxpro. Ignore the object oriented stuff - and it was rock solid. Its as if all the code Microsoft bought was solid, and everything they added was swiss cheese.
So the question on Reddit the Other day, of how do I scale Active Directory to cover the 26 million people in Australia and New Zealand, needs to be: How do I scale SAP licensing to 26 million?
When I managed NT 4sp6 servers - as soon as Task manager showed around 500 idle hours, it was time for a reboot, because magical shit would start happening..
Even better, on iwndows, put a desktop screenshot as their background, hide the status bar and all of their icons, and watch them click everywhere they can while nothing works.
My HTC 3600i scrapped the headphone jack - you also had to use USB headphones or and adapter. This was running windows mobile 5 and in 2005. It sucked then. It sucks now. Its not a 'feature' I'll happily go back to.
They did a drone show last year in Sydney at the Vivid festival. While it was cool and different, there's no way that it can replace a fireworks show. They flew impressive patterns and light shows, but had issues with wind and were very complex to setup with a couple of hundred drones.

He was a boarder at Sydney Grammar. One of Australia's most privileged and expensive schools. I wouldnt call this growing up below the poverty line.

We used to reboot all of our NT4 Sp 6a servers when the idle counter reached 500 hours. Not long after that, they always started behaving weirdly..

If all the unused /8's were returned, that would get us a few more months at most.
For that price, Each student could literally have a professor simply teach them at home full time and get a better education.

All my db servers are now virtualized, I just havent told the DBA's because they demand individual iron - they just cant tell the difference.

Almost all phones at the time allowed J2ME apps to be installed - without authorisation from anyone.
In Australia you pay approx 30c for power from the grid, and they pay you 8c for what you put into the grid.
Switzerland for Example. Where most flat countries have bypasses to go around towns, Switzerland simply has tunnels.
Not only is it the altitude, but there is less atmosphere at the poles, because it bulges around the equator.

I love holding the button on peoples iphones and asking Siri to do what I want - bypassing the security.
"Set an alarm for 2am every day"
"Message so and so, thanks for the sex last night!"
"Facetime mum!"
The fun is endless!
Even better, due to Windows kernel issues, there are a heap of features missing. Such as icmp. So ping wont even work!
