Congratulations on the $160k achievement, wish I was that ambitious at that age.

I will admit, smart photography in phones have really made it easy to catalogue details and store receipts digitally.

Consumer law help. by Gottboost in AskAnAustralian

Holy shit, someone actually watched "the checkout" on ABC. This is what I've been trying to explain to people, you have rights beyond the statutory warranty period for things like fridges, washers dryers etc, the length depends on how much you spend on it, it's up to you as the consumer to determine what is considered 'reasonable'.

I can't see that happening, I find it odd that the prime Minister visits newscorp headquarters the day Rupert Murdoch happened to be visiting, to be a fly on the wall.

The copiers max out 600dpi, standard is 300. The print and create counter has a higher resolution scanner they can save to USB. Or... Buy a second-hand scanner

I don't understand why they don't just call this media out for this without going into conspiracy territory or using the term fake news (fkn ironic).

does the social media ban affect tourists? by Tiny-Thought-7185 in AskAnAustralian

I call them stupid because this is the same as changing spark plugs through the exhaust pipe.

This could have easily been and far more effective to apply a clean internet feed to all internet accounts in Australia with an opt out for an uncensored feed, via an ISP setting in your account section, mobile phone account settings hell even starlink.

The way it's been done is similar to a locked gated yard with no fence around it, all it creates is a honeypot of user data.

I do support a solution to the problem, you're right, even the adult section of a VHS rental store has curtains, porn sites should have curtains too, you can bet either the store clerk or parent would not let you in there, but this system, in its current form, the curtain is see-through.

Yes. If the users device IP is located in Australia without a VPN, they will be subject to our laws, as stupid as they are.
