Because the RAM usage of web browsers keeps increasing. In 2024, you start hitting 8GB when you have a lot of tabs open. This will only get…

@tsunamisurfer Maybe tax should be levied on wealth then.

Where is the option: "Sticking to election promises when the circumstances have dramatically changed is the wrong thing to do"?

Even if you're just doing email and browsing, I'd go for 16GB in this day and age.

Training course in Spain.

I ordered it. Was cancelled today. I got 1700 Everyday Rewards points and a $20 gift voucher in compensation.

But the government is stepping in: Their sites only work on IE6!

Catch was good when cashrewards was offering 20% cashback. They don't do that anymore.

I've had good experiences with Auswide bank. Only issue is their branches not extending south of Brisbane.

Pretty sure that coal is in the process of being phased out here. Most of it will be gone by 2040.

They took 22 years to ban leaded petrol after starting to phase it out. Let's assume the similar with unleaded petrol. So call it 2040ish.

Are these available with headband? I find they've got a better fit and are more comfortable.

Ubiquiti Edgerouter X, and some unifi Access Point. Works well, very feature-rich, and you can upgrade the AP when new wireless…

I've had very good experiences with second-hand thinkpads. As long as you buy them still in (Lenovo) warrantee, you can extend the…

The cash rate isn't an economic **indicator**. If anything, it's an economic **setting**. And the government doesn't really have any…

Got my cashback today. Ordered from Liquorland, and stacked with cashrewards 1%. At -5.5c per can, you can't go wrong.

<conspiracy theory> The reason that interest rates haven't gone up is because "CPI" (as measured by ABS, etc.. for some reason doesn't…

One of the most obvious advantages that a $70 rice cooker has over a $13 one is a **removable cord**. You can unplug the cord from the…

I pay for a domain name and VPS to host my own email server. That counts as "paying for personal email", right?

I used to have issues with ALDI that I always had to go to a grocery store afterwards to buy the stuff they didn't have. This has changed…

In ACT, while the cyclist must give way to pedestrians, the pedestrians must allow space for cyclists to pass on their right. I would argue…

"Adverse effects reported post vaccination 33,807 (In most cases, adverse effects have to be severe enough for a person to report)" As a…

What is your network like? Who do you peer with? Do you support IPv6? Do you have any discounts on VPS hosting? Looking at moving some of…

Oh, so how do you think power electrics works? Power transmission is a difficult problem.

From a legal standpoint, using netflix et al with a VPN is just as illegal as downloading (but not torrenting) a TV show. You're consuming…

Trying to set up a NAS solution for home/business to handle a bunch of backups. Are there any good deals on hard drives (willing to shuck…

My previous experience with cancelling Hello Fresh had them "call me to confirm the cancellation". When I didn't pick up the phone, they…

My biggest regret: $5700 (face value) of Virgin Australia corporate bonds. Cost around $3000. Current value, around $57 I guess.
