I bought a Logitech C925E and was expecting a decent camera experience. It is not a decent camera. Huge upvote for Camo! Even an old iPhone 6S is far better than any Webcam I've ever experienced! That Apple shipped a terrible camera in

In Australia it's illegal to perform you own electrical or telecoms work. (things that connect to the grid or the wider telecoms network). I'd also counter that it's totally fine to replace normal bulbs with smart bulbs! It

You can get some of the way towards Ad Blocking by switching DNS. An easy option is to use NextDNS, which has an App that creates a VPN setting so it works with mobile data as well! No perfect - but it’s something! There are other options t

Camo is really great! I hope they survive. They have the advantage of working with older devices like the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7, both of which have excellent cameras that are better than most webcams I've tested them against!

Yes, in Australia certainly, coverage of StarLink is potentially better. Much of Australia has great 4G LTE, but when there's no signal, there's really no signal. So there are two obvious key advantages to StarLink: 1. Full covera

To be fair, I'm an Australian and this experience is alien to me! The reality is that we don't really experience the world outside of our bubbles! But I can totally believe this description. It's horrible this happens :-(

I use hatchbox.io with a Linode. Hatchbox is really great, and very affordable for my needs! I like that it's a UI and some opinionated tools and processes on top of a standard Linode VPS. I can still SSH into my Linode and it's a

Same thing for me! After a stint back in corporate management land, I had a full on nervous breakdown that almost destroyed me and my marriage. I had one of the most enviable jobs in my field. It was a dream in my city. I'm still not f

Totally. It's a curse. I wonder how many people are jumping on the bandwagon of being ND and have actually been credibly diagnosed with ADHD?! I'm super smart, but ADHD destroyed my schooling and I've never met my potential.

I have first hand experience of an Australian ASX company being taken private: In that Instance it was decided by a share holder vote after board negotiations. Then you get a cheque for the money once it's agreed and gone through. Happ

I don't know what happened to Ars... But in the early I remember I used to feel smarter having read something on Ars. Now it's all PR and movie reviews :-/ Maybe Conde Nast happened.

Companies like Unifi have only just released their Wi-Fi 6 APs (I think). It feels like we've only just got Wi-Fi 6, and adoption rates in my home and office are currently very low. Perfectly working AC AP's are not going to be

I think this is how it should be. Take keeping Birthday Cards for instance. The person sending you the card didn't intend you to keep it forever! When I give a gift, I don't intend it to be kept forever! When I make something; I d

This used to be how It was for Photoshop. Intentionally or not. Nowadays it's just not worth trying to install CC without a license IMHO. Do I trust the tools that will hack a CC license? No sir, I do not! My kids "Photoshop"

Tangentially: One wonderful result of Adobe moving to Creative Cloud subscriptions, and generally making it less easy to pirate, is the growth in genuine alternatives to Photoshop and Illustrator!

I regret using Blu Tack on posters! It leaves a residue, can be hard to remove, and sometimes impossible to remove without ripping the poster! It doesn't seem to age well either, and it's not particularly high in grip strength! Bu
