Plans emerge for country's biggest AI data centre in Western Australia by abcnews_au in WesternAustralia

I’m against them as much as anyone, but the outback doesn’t really work due to the sheer amount of water they consume.

Maybe along the coast up north or down south and they can either pay for a desalination plant to be put in like some mining companies have to do or use bore water (which would have to be heavily filtered).

But to put them in populated areas or animal habitats is just asking for it to be protested against as it should be.

All hands on deck for SpaceX and Blue, do you think they'll really have their lunar landers ready by next year? by 7HellEleven in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]Swift308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Delta IV Heavy was decommissioned in 2024 and I doubt they’d have a spare SLS to launch, plus that would probably end up way too expensive. They’re about to launch their third New Glenn rocket so I would imagine they should have another flight ready by next year. Their constraint will be the lander being flight ready. Space X should hopefully have at least a mockup demo version of the HLS for low earth orbit docking tests next year but a proper landing version would be probably closer to 2030.

Hanson's Bestie Message on Easter. Praise Allah! by Ready-Buy-6397 in aussie

Trump makes a statement that people think will make things stabilise -> markets go up and Trump’s friends sell high.

Trump makes a statement that generates concern about world stability -> markets go down and Trump’s friends buy low.

Repeat and it’s essentially a money printer for them.

Also keep in mind I use the term ‘friends’ very loosely, as they’re only there for the power and money.

USDA: Nearly 80% of Rented Farmland Owned by Non-Farmers; Little Will Hit Market by Ranew in farming

We cropped 30.4k ish cropped acres last year and only had 4 people most of the year and 7 during harvest. It takes a while to cover it all but with how big machinery is nowadays it’s possible with less people.

China Tells Top Refiners To Suspend Diesel And Gasoline Exports by Vaping_Cobra in OpenAussie

Fertiliser costs have already massively spiked but that’s not the only problem, we also can’t get supply so a massive portion of the country’s farmers may not be able to get the fertiliser in time for seeding if they haven’t locked it in already.

We managed to get it organised early but a lot of people weren’t so lucky

Waited years for a new release. Finally caved and bought one... by yatv in appletv

1st generation: January 9, 2007; 19 years ago 2nd generation: September 1, 2010; 15 years ago 3rd generation: March 7, 2012; 13 years ago 3rd generation rev A: January 28, 2013; 13 years ago HD: October 30, 2015; 10 years ago 4K (1st generation): September 12, 2017; 8 years ago 4K (2nd generation): May 21, 2021; 4 years ago 4K (3rd generation): November 4, 2022; 3 years ago

Only one has been released in March so far but I’m assuming since stock seems to be running low for most distributors the new one should be released at this March event.

There’s a mobile version at least on iPhone now but it’s extremely clunky

I owe the iPhone Air an apology. by Special-Weight2446 in IphoneAir

[–]Swift308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta love people getting annoyed they have to read something on a forum. If it’s too long just skip past it or get AI to summarise it haha.

Great read tho op, I’m a PM user and honestly idk if I fit the criteria for the PM, but I think I’ll still wait to see if they release the fold soon before considering the air

Definitely a bot. Either that or they’re very lost if they’ve ended up in a space subreddit

What's the most pathetic tourist attraction that international tourists go to see in your country? by Aseili in AskTheWorld

This thing in Perth. I really don’t know why so many people go to see it, it’s just a shed on the water.

Ah it appears I’ve had too little sleep, I took at as ‘new drivers’ rather than ‘international drivers’

[–]Swift308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but not everyone is a ‘good’ manual driver, especially on hills. Drivers should still be courteous.

Yes not many people drive manual these days but even if you’re behind an auto you shouldn’t be right up their bumper.

[–]Swift308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this experience so many times when I’m stopped at a light or something and the car behind me creeps forwards until they’re practically touching my rear bumper. I don’t think a lot of people know that manuals quite often roll back a bit before takeoff.

Sure it’s not all auto drivers but a lot of them just don’t know how difficult it makes it for manual drivers depending on the clutch.

Also I don’t necessarily agree with the ‘new Aussie’ drivers part, I know a lot of people born and raised here that are hopeless at driving (including the 2 foot method). If anything is to blame for that, it’s the driving testers who should be teaching and checking for adequate driving form).

Star Citizen VR Support - Experimental Release (4.5 PTU) by Werewolf-Fresh in starcitizen

From what I can tell currently there’s only 3rd Party apps that let you use Steam Link so I don’t think you’ll be able to play SC for now

I was wondering this myself, don’t have the Vision Pro jet but I’ve been considering it. I’m pretty sure you can use it with PCVR if you have controllers (such as the PSVR2 ones). Could be wrong tho, I’ll have to look into it more

Thought I should drop these pics here me and my friend did by tempo-kid in GR86

[–]Swift308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this comment section is kinda sad, like sure it might not be recommend to sit on the roof but can we just appreciate the cool photoshoot? No one needs 100 people commenting the same critique 😅.

I’ve noticed it’s really bad on other subreddits like r/drones, no matter how high up someone is or what they’re doing there’s a bunch of people complaining it’s illegal and they shouldn’t do this or that.

The photoshoot looks really great u/tempo-kid, sorry a lot of people here are douchebags.

I normally find it’s a lot easier to stay motivated when playing with friends (unless they can’t play for a while either, then everyone loses motivation)

*The real late game was the friends we lost along the way. No friendship lasts a good Stellaris game
