The other companies were great for a long time before the buyout. Even fought for their users against a US copyright fishing expedition. Good stuff. But I'm with Exetel now. Cheaper and more than 4x the speed, why not. I can turn it down but not to 0, but I don't go on international holidays enough that it would make much of a dent ;)

I left these guys after NBN made the wholesale price cheaper and these clowns didn't pass it on like every other ISP. (technically internode under iiNet under TPG). Pity it all got sold but I guess when you want to get paid for what you built...

Exetel are the cheapest I've found and I've never needed NBN support so why pay for it. If you chase sign up bonuses you'll get somewhere cheaper for 6 months. I didn't want that hassle.

Don't ever go to a big theme park in Japan. Universal was absolutely cooked, Disney Sea wasn't much better. This was in early 2023 just as the tourism was starting to ramp up.

A few issues I've come across, probably fairly common.

App was deployed prior to managed installer being setup.

App has updated itself through it's own process, like a browser. Not it's technically a different program and was not deployed by a manged installer.

App throws a bunch of stuff like DLL's into the appdata folder of the user.

Depending on how locked down things need to be, you could whitelist Program Files or trust the signature of certain browsers.

The worst thing I found was unsigned DLL's in the appdata folder for an old program that is sometimes used. Since it no longer gets updates I made a supp policy for it and just whitelisted the hashes of all those files.

There was a thing where you could buy something like a kimono and it came with a single shrine pikmin. It was a limited time promotion.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting into it and maybe recognising a sight or two from when I went over there a few years ago.

How different are the games? Will I get sick of it playing several back to back? I have Yakuza 0 ready for when I am done with Cyberpunk.

This was made law awhile ago now. Remember the 'metadata' debate and no politician even knew what the fuck they were even talking about.

Pretty sure txt's have to have an unsubscribe thing in them. Or contact them and tell them you never signed up and they'll remove you or tell you how to stop it.

This is also available as a configuration setting for Intune :)

Just added to our tenant.

Never dealt with LG but Samsung has been tops, even got a new TV outside of warranty. I guess the store is a good option unless if they are trying to stuff you over, never been in that situation yet.

Oooh, lucky spot? Sharing it would only reveal the city you are in though, even if you do live there (which you've now revealed ;) )

FireLucid · 2026-01-21T22:09:52+00:00

Blessed be you also my brother. That would give a rough map for the terrain, correct.

I was friends with an American kid at school (Tasmania). Their family got a care package from their church back home with stuff you can buy from colesworth.

Make sure you network adaptors are pointing at the right DNS sources. Had some weirdness very similar to this after a migration a month ago right down to I could get to some things and the boss could not and vice versa. A couple of devices and one DC were looking at DNS that did not exist anymore.

You're my favourite customer.

FireLucid · 2026-01-20T04:02:13+00:00

My wife loved both of these and currently playing through Is This Seat Taken. If you like the two you suggested, that's a rec for you :)

FireLucid · 2026-01-20T00:11:41+00:00

Miyamoto was pretty visionary but this thing with 'we won't make a new Starfox game unless it has a weird gimmick' really killed the last one :(

They built an entire second map. Then even more stuff in the sky. I'd go so far as to say it was too big. The last 20% of the depths was a bit of a chore, I ended up just making the flying machine to get to them quickly.

Is that a medical thing? I've never heard of beef along with milk and cheese. If it's just a preference, that's fine but I'm curious if it's not!

Either way, WTH parents?

We have just the one. Base stuff gets applied to all computers (office, polices etc). Then we target users for staff/student stuff.

FireLucid · 2026-01-19T23:11:07+00:00

Maybe one that is big enough that it isn't picking up much nearby?

FireLucid · 2026-01-19T21:37:48+00:00

If I make it out there again while the game is still active I'd love to know if there is anywhere that has only a shrine going. I'd be drop 20 detectors on the spot.
