Love my solar, 8 years old and still kicking. Charges my EV about 6 months of the year. Power bills are low most of that time too. I wish i had put more on but there was a 5kw limit when i did it.

I mean, it's not just the obvious fridge hack, what if the hackers managed to get access to the POS network via the fridges? Who knows, maybe they did. I remember the USA Target hack years ago, they were skimming credit cards via a POS hack, taking 1 cent from each transaction nationally.

I get why the Fridge maker would want to sell subscription maintenance to the supermarket but why wouldn't the supermarket see this as a huge security hole?

Angie Bell was playing to an audience- the audience wasn’t “us”. It was those in the right wing who believe that it is acceptable to say these things. She’ll withdraw of course but can’t “unspeak” which was the point of the dog whistle. It was a deliberate call to arms for rwnj’s

Yes i don't get this at all. Mrs has a strict masking policy for face to face consults, as a result has moved almost completely online via telehealth as many clients didn't want to comply. There are no shortage of clients & if they don't like masking or telehealth they can find another provider

Needless to say i signed the petition because defending a genocide is the wrong side of my moral compass. 80 odd years has taught mankind nothing despite teaching the holocaust in schools.

Fascinating thread from Ryan. Below is an explainer of what is likely going on with these v different looking variants, except in this new PJ case the chronically infected person seems to be continually transmitting infections that establish themselves in others. theconversation.com/the-emergenc...

theconversation.com

The emergence of JN.1 is an evolutionary ‘step change’ in the COVID pandemic. Why is this significant?

The JN.1 variant has become dominant in Australia and around the world, causing large waves of infections. Here’s what we know about it so far – and why it’s so important.

Australia just made the vax chargeable. $170aud or approx €100. A country with universal health care! Flu vax is a more palatable $30aud.

* Adults aged 18-64 years with severe immunocompromise (one dose per year) ** not an official website but I’m fairly certain the wording is correct. However, I used to get 2 funded a year and will now be one only. I can afford to pay but not everyone can.

For this reason I got a non connected EV, I lose some minor services such as aircon and battery info when out of the car but my data is my own at least in real time. What is dumped at the service centre who can say.

Overall it is connected services that provide the transit lane, cam gps be hacked? Maybe but the information is limited to location. Full services would include voice recorder and full 360 camera recording. Ability to control all systems steering, motor, brakes, climate, windows etc.

The collapse of an empire is polluting the globe in more ways than one. Former (or resurgent) Soviets aren’t helping. China at least is making many large moves to clean up its act. Oil states with USA are at least weaning the globe off fossil fuels with a dumb war with no end.

I would suppose that she hasn’t spelled out the fact that any money returned to the wage earner was tax free but is no longer - therefore tax will be due on it at the EOFY.

She is just a grifter with low intellect but a gift for making a living from the government purse by exploiting the discontent of the day. The issues are real but the solutions she sells are false.

There are some who are easily lead and believe things like the $3mil super cap may affect their children or grandchildren. It’s easy to complain about taxes than understand what services we get in change. These voices tap into that naivety.

It hasn’t been a universal system for some time, it’s a user pays model with a long queue for disadvantaged at the tail end. I pay because I need it and can afford it but private health is the 2nd largest line item on my balance sheet after food.

Aus is limiting funded access from 1st October- up to 65 and you pay your way unless First Nations or immunocompromised then you get 1 only. Over 75 and you get 2 shots annually. We are going backwards- message sounds like it’s the flu- which it is not.

Gov isn't helping by removing free COVID Vax from October 1st. Vic Gov Immunisation bulletin came out today (so it is offical what we knew before). No "funded" Vax under 65 unless compromised (or first nations) and then it is 1 a year, over 75 twice. This sends a message to community that COVID=mild

Really they have lost their social license. Export jobs, price gouge, Palantir surveillance. Oh and if there is a backlash at the till perhaps employing more staff would relieve the consumers of their frustrations. But i guess that eats into the profits and therefore bonus for upper management.

I agree, he has a right not to take it and we have a right to deport him for not taking it. He puts others at risk and in this case knowingly. IMHO he should have had a 3 year ban from Aus for breaching visa conditions.

I managed to get a booster from the local pharmacy (Melb) a couple of weeks ago and yeah they were saying that the vax will no longer be free from late this year and may follow UK pricing. There are exceptions for age and health status but iw as getting 6 monthly, not sure if that will fly.
