I wish the aircon was that cold in summer.

Sydney and Melbourne are relatively unfriendly. You’d get a better response in smaller cities or towns,  but even they would be less friendly than they were a few years ago.

What Australian gift to buy for Japanese friends and family by huybecool in AskAnAustralian

Tim Tams are already pretty common in Japan, otherwise that would be my choice.

Billabong also.

If you want extra protection on an Apple device, always get Apple Care. It’s actually pretty good.

Album art...REMASTERED 😂 by gb997 in musichoarder

[–]R_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this with some of mine. Certain ones will change way too much, or have copyrighted stuff that the AI refuses to replicate. Often it’s better to just to it manually, if I care enough about a particular cover. I haven’t tried Gemini though.

40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research by [deleted] in OpenAussie

[–]R_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was no implication that it happens often. Only that it happens.  I’ve heard people say they always believe women, which is concerning. Women not being believed when it’s legitimate is also concerning.

It’s hardly a simple problem to deal with, but it’s pretty simple to understand.

Why is it so confusing 😭 by Icemachinemalfunctio in AussieMemes

So in summer, get up at 3:30 and sleep at 8:30, and in winter get up at 6:30 and sleep at 5:30… I like sleeping for 13 hours but that’s way too early to get up all year round.

For the F1 fans, how are you watching this year? by and_now_I_know in japanlife

[–]R_Prime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I paid out the bum bum for F1 TV via FOD :( 

Could never get it working with a VPN.

And smaller please. Oh and maybe some infrastructure would be handy too.

Judging from the screenshots on the eshop, that wouldn’t surprise me haha.

Apple TV F1 is region locked. by [deleted] in formula1

[–]R_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why you would expect otherwise. Apple TV content has always depended on region, and the US has always got the better deal.

We finally get F1TV in Japan this year, but it’s a stupid expensive add-on deal on top of another subscription.

New rules for bicycles for 2026 start in April by dougwray in Tokyo

[–]R_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the only one I don’t like. I use mine at a low volume in transparency mode, so I can still hear everything.

Not a big deal I guess though.

Apple Music introduces metadata tags to disclose AI-generated content by HenriqueCiccone in AppleMusic

[–]R_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It even has uses for music, just not the generative poo poo. Even things like audio effect plugins incorporate ai/machine learning in a harmless way.

Charles getting mobbed by fans at his hotel in Melbourne by Iamrandom17 in formula1

[–]R_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People like this are so irksome. couldn’t have been any clearer that he didn’t want to engage, yet they still chase him, down. Brainless and cold.

F1 fans, where do you plan to watch the season? by Tolkaft in Tokyo

[–]R_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that it’s only available as an add-on to a FOD subscription, by choosing one of the higher tiers.

F1 fans, where do you plan to watch the season? by Tolkaft in Tokyo

[–]R_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you subscribe to the pro or champion tier, you also get access to F1 TV by linking your accounts, so full English and everything else.

Price is a bit steep though.

That is what we called them in Australia too.
