I would argue initial release of Warcraft 3 was single player focused, with multiplayer as a feature, however I think post launch support was more multiplayer focused. However I think that was the model of many of the older games. Once the

I bet there will be matching monitors available from a 3rd party within 12 months. Probably outrageously priced for the specs. The mac accessory community is really good at producing matching products, and I am sure someone is going to lice

The problem is the equipment to fight a petrol / diesel fire is already covered by most fire departments. Oil fires are common in commercial and industrial areas. Levying those users of petrochemicals would likely result in a fairly in

Biggest problem with Brisbane is due to being a smaller market, there is there a fewer jobs available for less popular languages. Python & Go are finally seeing decent growth, but proportionally local roles are much more focused on JS,

I am concerned that most current anti-trust law was written for standard oil and others dealing with monopolies in fungible commodities. The problem is we are getting walled gardens of 2-4 companies in many domains (voice assistant, mobile

It works, but there is a risk (exacerbated if you use other features) that the device will become unstable. I believe depending on features used in btrfs it can use considerably more RAM for caching filesystem structures. While this cache c

The only thing worse is the tone deaf customer service responses. Such as: - Wanting root SSH access to someone's device to investigate? - Suggesting getting a higher spec Synology device would be able to fix the problem I use a DS91

I was under the impression the issue with 10nm is frequency, which lead to the rocket lake backport. Unfortunately it seems that the 10nm node's efficiency point is lower on the frequency curve. The reviewed ice lake processor was 300m

I believe for the Bathurst weekend (V8 Car race) in Australia, people are limited to a carton of beer or a bottle of liquor a DAY per person.... Not sure if that says more about the Svalbard limits or my countrymen.

I think your only hope is to try and get the attention of someone higher up. They MAY have archives of this data recoverable, and MAYBE they can restore it without costing them an arm and a leg as a special one off if this gets some tractio

HFC was a massive bodge but it does work... at least for the moment. My interpretation of the various data points was that it likely did result is a faster roll-out, at pretty much similar costs as FTTP w/ higher maintenance and sooner

Completely agree with the lock-in, and they aren't the best / featureful device out there. It seems the sweet spot for them is places with LARGE distributed footprints (such as retailers), where you can have very simple networking

Cloud providers want dependable suppliers with low costs, openness with design, integration with other suppliers and long term roadmaps and support. Outside dependability, Apple is not good on any of the other aspects. Apple run a high marg

I get the feeling the reason for the Tarsnap price is simply a lack of scale and bootstrap nature of it. (i.e. there isn't a VC feeding money into hosting costs to drive the costs down to grow the userbase). The cost seems fair, but no

The one issue I see with this is it is always Opt Out. I feel that google really should be lining up partners to opt-in. While I am sure there is reasons why Google believe they have the right (and a good case can be made), it always feels

There is no effort to bring these to the same base. The global banking system is massive. The article is factoring retail banking, stock & bonds, finance, derivatives, payment processing and a lot more in to "Global Banking".

Shell is in the middle of a restructure right now. From the top you can see many old Oil/Gas drilling/refining roles have been removed. Shell appear to be becoming more of an energy trading / retail organisation, as they view

Pretty much Shell is an European energy company, and due to that they are looking at climate change, and wanting to lead the transition. Mostly because they see that is the way the world is going to go, and they want to be in front and are

> Australia won't dare set up national firewalls No... They will just setup a block list and make the ISPs block it. Hell they might even add a levy to the NBN to pay for it.
