At least in NZ around when they closed 2G the govt created a group of some kind which went around and put up a bunch of 4G towers in more remote areas, the key thing was the towers went owned on xyz company, so everyone who visits the area

Same in NZ. I don't need the extra speed of 5G if it's even available and would rather have the extra battery life.

Same same. I love Mac, and macOS, but as a server, macOS is terrible, and bloated, and a pain to run docker/podman.

Me too. I've got an M3 Mac Mini running as a linux server with parallels, but it has a weird NIC bug that crashes the mini every few weeks, keen to get of macOS and it's buggy NIC driver. (really don't want to send it into an

Were you a Mac/Windows or Linux user? Personally I was an early adopter of Firefox and it worked great on Windows, but on Mac for a long stretch of time it was significantly slower than other Mac first browsers. Firefox also has this w

Same. I found Firefox was fast on Windows at the time, but on Mac it was so slow (compared to Chrome), and had weird non-native scrolling for the longest time. As a Mac user it felt like they developed for Windows, and occasionally do some

I think he means, get cloudflare to cache your content, so the traffic never reaches your servers to begin with. Assuming your sites content is cacheable by cloudflare. I agree it's a sad state of affairs if you have to rely on a 3rd p

Same things for me, but I was already "normal" weight, but fixed my lower back pain was... exercising. Back exercises, not just walking. Go to a gym and get a plan made out. You don't need to become the next hulk. If you sit

Most of the Stargate series were filmed in Canada too. If you pay attention you'll realise the planets they visit all look like Canadian forest, or an old quarry filming location.

The rate goes up and down with inflation, high inflation, high interest - low inflation, low interest. But even then, yes some banks still offer no or 0.5% accounts.. because they can, and many people can't be bothered to figure out a

I think like many things, it's not universally true. At least for me I'm a really slow writer (and poor spelling), that if I were to hand write notes in a lecture, I'd focus on writing and miss half of what is said, and fall

Me too! Those library card were more interesting than the book sometimes.

Finally! We need more of this. It did happen sometimes in the past, but not nearly as often as it should.

I feel like this is the right way to do it. Especially if you're using your own credits. Unless it's obnoxiously long task. So often it'll cut off just as it's about to finish.

I wish Apple would update there built in TTS model (on Mac). In this day and age, it's quality is terrible.

Usualy doesn't work. Needs a specific type of dog, and the right device. Most of the ones sold online are scams.

I'm sure it depends on demographic/country etc, but I've lived in Apartments where everyone was considerate, no loud neighbours, no smokers. Everyone just peacefully co-existed. (I've also experienced the opposite, and u

Yeah, it's a bit worrying that some people don't seem to understand that just because you enjoy smoking, doesn't mean the rest of the units downstream of you want to breath it in too.

Shill it out my dude. I want to know where the good stuff is hiding.

I mostly use a computer because you can get a better idea what is a good deal, and fits in my budget. If I had stacks of cash, I could easily see myself booking everything via my phone. But I'm too much of a penny pincher.. But I do of

I took the train from Copenhagen to Stockholm a few years back. I remember getting on the train and then all of a sudden we were boarding a boat, and got kicked out of the train while they transited the across the ocean. I really liked it,

If you're a Mac person, 100% try out iina if you haven't yet. Kinda like VLC, but way more Mac like.

Irfanview is amazing!

I'd have so many of these weird issues on Android (pixel), is why I switched to iPhone a few years back, it's been a much smoother ride ever since. iPhone isn't perfect, but it's way more "just works" then andr

I only have 2 USB-C ports, and most of the time I have nothing plugged in (but power). Sometimes ethernet USB-C when moving large files.

Yeah, the things that AppleScript can do is so crazy. I've fully automated keeping 1 tab in Chrome logged into a website that insists on logging me out every hour or something. (not banking or anything)

I get the comment about Docker. Not being able to share memory with docker makes it a pain to use to run things alongside mac, unless you have mountains of ram.

Ahh bummer, couldn't find Blobbo on the list. It was the best old mac game!

Yeah, that is my understanding too. Usually the inside the plant the radiation is lower than many other industrial places too. But my concern is when things go wrong (like flooding in Japan) the radius of which it can effect can be quite la

In theory I wouldn't mind living next to nuclear. I say in theory, because we've seen too many times when someone cuts corners, or has deadlines or poorly trained staff on site, that when things go wrong, they can sometimes go ve
