I tried a 60% about 10 years ago with a happy hacker but it wasn't a great keyboard to use and wasn't easily customisable or with many options. I just jumped back in this week with an Anne 2 Pro. I was moving from laptop back to d

You can configure your dmarc so the big mail systems all provide you with reports on delivery failures. I get lots of them when I reply to a mailing list that doesn't deal with spf or dkim sensibly.

I don't understand people who try and cook 3 star michelin food at home. I would rather buy a kebab. But for any competent pro setting up a mail server is ridiculously easy. After the first few you have a recipe. Changes are incrementa

The biggest problems for mail delivery across the board are probably lack of correct helo/reverse ip lookup and being on an IP blacklist such as being on an ISP dynamic address. I will bin those with my mail server as well. That is a v

Yes, I like being able to see my licence expiry, demerit and rego expiry all on one place. Our rego is all digital in SA and we don't have rego stickers. I have been getting text reminders for years but sometimes you just want to check

Isn't this the same state where they have been strip searching 12 year old girls without a parent or guardian? Most police I have encountered are great but good to know how to protect your phone incase you encounter one of the rare idi

Thanks. Just turned it on and learned how to use it. A few too many steps to the UI. I think I would prefer if an app like this was pinned from the moment it was opened.

I have had one of these for years in South Australia (app store release data may 2017). Our car rego is all digital as well which used to cause confusion interstate as we don't have rego stickers. I don't adopt a lot of digital te

Not sure if this was ever the case. The Christian temperance movement succeeded in restricting liquor trading hours in Australia in the early 20th century. Workers would finish work and hurry to the pub for an hour of binge drinking known a

They have set such an impressively high bar it would likely be a disappointment. I am a fan of letting things end on a high note instead of turning them into a never ending franchise and trying to extract every last cent out of the IP.

I think it is everywhere in the english language world. It might not be in common usage but most adults would know the meaning. Butt is such an innocuous word for arse it is used by preschoolers and cartoons. It isn't offensive to anyo

There are only two types of countries in the world. Those that lost the ability to launch people into space and those that adopted SI units.

by shirro 7y ago
It is an accessibility layer for SI units. When I go into a bar in Australia and order a beer it is whatever the locals call it. A pot, a schooner, a pint. In most states a pint is 570ml which is about a 20 fl oz UK pint. Except in one wher

Better driver assist technology could have the same benefits but it is not equally distributed due to cost. Automation is going to go from luxury vehicles to commercial vehicles and be funded by labor savings. Good luck affording even basic

Good question. I don't believe it is fundamentally bad but in the context of an economy and society where personal advancement and prosperity are strongly connected to employment it doesn't help. There may be other ways such as un

Self driving vehicles are already in operation in many locations though usually under more restricted use such as a fixed bus route. I wonder if the question is not if the technology can do the job but if it should. Having a small self driv

When I had a case of Man Flu I used to walk right past the OTC PE crap and ask the pharmacist for the pseudoephedrine ones from behind the counter. Had to show ID and put my name on a list so they could see I wasn't Walter White. It wa

Tanning beds are banned in some countries with high skin cancer rates for good reason. It is a lottery and you are accumulating risk with exposure. I strongly suspect (without any real evidence) that there are a number of beneficial health

Discussions on this topic have descended into culture war elsewhere and been shut down. It would be great if at least one thread could discuss how management of software projects can evolve to better serve all contributors instead of people
