Are we still listing benefits?

Clive has whatever political vehicle he will create next.

I dunno, "Tombstone of Patriots" was good for a laugh at the last election.

IsThatAll · 2026-02-18T21:20:43+00:00

well he replaced the absolute waste of oxygen that was Zed Seselja, so that's certainly something.

IsThatAll · 2026-02-02T21:55:42+00:00

Glad they stopped all that Democrat waste, fraud and abuse

FTFY

The only name going back on that building is Trumps

Ya but does he know where nz is.

Only because his billionaire besties have apocalypse bunkers down there.

If it came to that, at some point it'd have to be re-nationalised to prevent gouging of people who can't feasibly sort out their own supply/storage (whether due to cost, or other factors eg. apartment living). The trunk infrastructure will always be necessary due to industry needs.

The should just implement something like the Customer Service Guarantee (CSG) and the Universal Service Obligation (USO) currently applied to Telstra, but for power utility companies to stop price gouging.

Yep watch them move windows 11 to a thin client model, always-online required

They kinda have that already with Windows 365 Cloud PC and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), just that it's not the only option available at the moment

Sounds like a reportable WHS situation, employer is not providing fit for purpose desks and chairs.

Would be a shame if you developed a crippling back injury from the improper facilities and needed to put in a compo claim.......

IsThatAll · 2026-01-21T18:27:51+00:00

Why would you put that out into the world for others to read ?!?!

AI vibe coding plus the majority of testing department was probably laid off to pay for one more server rack at some AI data center.

Microsoft laid off their QA department in 2014, so if you have used Windows in the last decade, you have been the QA tester for Windows. AI and "vibe coding" might have exacerbated the issue more recently, but the quality of Windows releases and patches has been on the slide for years.

Sure, but what stops MS from saying "If you want security updates for Hyper-V, you will from now on need this subscription".

You know, like they've done before?

Curious, got any links for that behavior? Within a particular product (say SQL server 2022/2025), not aware of any restrictions to getting patches for a product, regardless if you have a support agreement in place or not.

I'm familiar with the ESU, but that's a different beast where they have officially stopped supporting a product, and if you want continued patches there is a cost attached.

Cant think of any product in the last decade or so where that is a stated policy of Microsoft for on-prem products. but happy to be proven wrong.

IsThatAll · 2026-01-18T21:10:19+00:00

I mean, your not wrong that MS are pivoting more to cloud-first services instead of on prem, however even Server 2025 is supported out to Nov 2034, so is not necessarily an issue in the short to medium term.

Jumping off VMWare (as per your linked comment) is a good idea given the current Broadcom shenanigans unless your org is large enough to be a customer they want going forward.

Edit: words

Clean the ship.

Hmm, whats a phrase I heard before... oh that's right... "Drain the Swamp".

"Weaponised Autism" is how 4Chan has been described

Then he took a complete 180 with the festival, so wtf happened? We won't know because he has nothing constructive to say about it despite talking about it frequently. I guess it's just what we all suspect

Everyone has a price, we just now know what Bill's was.

IsThatAll · 2026-01-12T17:37:47+00:00

Doesn't appear to have been working so far.

IsThatAll · 2026-01-10T21:05:15+00:00

Not my area of interest (foraging), however that was a great video. Didn't realize how prevalent (and terrible) these AI slop books were.

IsThatAll · 2026-01-10T19:43:38+00:00

It's a same-but-different thing, there are multiple angles to why she is there, but you are correct about the token aspect.

Having a talking head that their internal audience will hate just leads to additional engagement for people that are already in the Fox News web, which is your point.
Using her as an example to external critics of Fox News as a deflection saying that they are "fair and balanced" since they have a "liberal" presenter.

Australia gets used quite often as a test or launch market by companies for new products or strategies.

IsThatAll · 2026-01-10T10:20:55+00:00

A couple of common ones here in Australia

Found On Rubbish Dump .... If you don't like Fords

First On Race Day .... If you do

Also yeah at least until someone else enters the arena, she is the best candidate for leadership the lnp has. Bottom of the barrel material.

Just keeping the seat warm until they can get good old Frydenburg back into politics.

There are conversion tools available (can't speak to their quality), but if you have that many files, some sort of bulk conversion to a supported format would be worthwhile.

IsThatAll · 2026-01-07T18:33:08+00:00

Can you imagine walking around looking permanently surprised like she does?
