Totally agree. I recently re-read Revolution in the Valley (Andy Hertzfeld's memoir of working on the Mac) and I absolutely got same same vibe you described. It's also hard not to be in awe of someone like Bill Atkinson - RIP lege

Oh hell yeah, that's top of my list once I crack open the case (waiting for a long T15 driver to arrive!) and poke around inside. I've got a lot of friends who have done it before, so I'll give them the board and and some mon

Thanks for that info! I'm keen to get stuck into HyperCard stacks running on their native environment (not in an emulator) - so many people love HyperCard and miss it, so I look forward to seeing what the fuss is.

I've been on tirzepatide for 8 weeks (2.5mg then 5mg) and have a very similar conclusion as you. I started off at 160kg 8 weeks ago and now I'm down to 145kg. No other change in my lifestyle except eating radically less. Two 500-c

The new Tesla Powerwall 3 is $13,600 https://www.solarquotes.com.au/blog/powerwall-3-launch/ Two of those is $27,200 minus installation and some solar panels to feed them (but the PW3 does have 3x 6.6kW solar MPPT

That's correct. I wouldn't recommend a custom ROM to an average smartphone user, but when you have someone in your life that's dedicated to tech support and you have custom needs, it's a good idea IMHO. I consider helpin

Great list! Thanks for sharing. Noting how many developers work on the device is a nice addition.

My Dad likes his non-Google phone very much! He never had a smartphone in the first place so doesn't use any apps, social media, internet banking, etc. But does like having an easy to use on-screen keyboard. If a "dumbphone"

Agreed - this is a good solution for people that don't want or need any of that stuff. You'd be surprised how many people out there don't do any form of internet banking at all and simply manage their money in the bank branch

Not sure how you get in on the IPO, but once they list on the LSE it'll be quite trivial to buy shares on the usual platforms like Stake, SelfWealth, CommSec, etc. Not much different than buying on the ASX.

I scanned this old Aussie magazine about the Internet from back in 1996 and was surprised how the first topic was about cybersex and had many articles in it that would now be considered "woke". The internet was really more leftist

I've been publishing The Sizzle - a general tech newsletter that comes out daily and has an Aussie take on the last 24 hours of news - for almost 8 years. 1,300 people pay me A$60/yr to read it. There's a 30 day free trial (n

You need to add multiple passkeys so if one breaks, you can still access the service. Ditto for Yubikeys (which can be added as a passkey), you need more than one so if you lose it you can still access.

I have a 2013 Mac Pro running Alpine Linux and a bunch of Docker containers. Installing any Linux distro is trivial, just boot the installer for your distro of choice off a USB stick. Hold down the Option key when the Mac turns on and it&#x

Ahhh, yeah grid demand response appliances are kinda common here (solar inverters and air conditioners). There’s been a few trials and whatnot of smart chargers installed in homes by grid operators: https://arena.gov.au/know

With EV Up it was a rotten co-founder that didn’t follow through on their contract. It poisoned the well, destroyed the trust between us and the remaining co-founders (me and one other person) left. That business still exists and is operati

The tide is turning quite rapidly in Australia. New government held an “EV Summit” a few weeks ago outlining their hopes and will release a policy discussion paper late September. We will get to 5% of new car sales as EVs faster than any ot

Totally agree. I don’t have to register to buy petrol, why should I to refill my car’s battery? In NZ they have a government list of every fast charge station. https://www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/ev-chargers-list-view/ P

Amen to that - I love being able to plan things without having to listen to a sales pitch first, or explain myself to someone.

I co-founded two EV startups in Australia in 2019 and 2020 that failed at their mission of installing more EV chargers in this emerging market (less than 1% of new car sales are EVs compared to 5% in the US and 10%+ in Europe) and didn&#x27

I 100% agree with this take. I've got an email newsletter that 874 people pay me $5/m to read (The Sizzle - https://thesizzle.com.au ). I set it up outside of Substack a few years ago, then migrated when Substack launch

I don't know where you're located, but in Australia there's a handful of workshops that'll convert a classic car to electric. e.g: http://ev-torque.com.au/ https://www.evmachina.com/ ht
