   Sure...except you have to buy a $200 dock to connect it to anything. Why can't I buy a $40 (or Chinese equivalent for $20) adapter to connect it to things? Why isn't there a pin-out or open standard? I know the magnetic factor wou

   The form-factor is pretty amazing. The portability is very good. The performance is also very good within the above two factors. The problem is the software and features: - Windows 10 is a known factor, and it constantly frustrates. - No Th

   I somehow picked up "Australian vibes" from this article, without any proof in the article that Brendan is Aussie. The cricket ball on the desk then helped, with the "G'day" on the front page of his site proving it.

    Hi - I'm living in London right now and from Australia. Mostly what stands out about Copenhagen is the ridiculously extensive cycling infrastructure. Dedicated lanes, signage, signalling, parking...it's amazing. Also the entire cu

    To see this in action I recommend visiting Copenhagen! I've had many moments in which I thought that it's the most futuristic AND chilled-out city I've ever visited.

    I recall reading a couple of articles on this subject about cities in general [1, 2]. London was called out as OK: "Our model indicates that in London health benefits of active travel always outweigh the risk from pollution. [1]"

    As a former Perthian, I hope this will change. It's an amazing city for riding. It requires action by the government [1] and less of an ego from ALL road users. I think the latter will be the hardest sell. A clever & sustained adve

    It's widely acknowledged that Telstra's LTE network is by far the best in Australia. It's also by far the most expensive. The 180GB of data used for the tests would have cost them - assuming "BYO device" plans and t

    I'd recommend against using raid-z(X) on a USB enclosure. The throughput to each disk just isn't there. Also, my experiences using ZFS(onlinux) without any raid (i.e. single disk with "copies=" > 1) is that it wasn&#x
