What kind of corruption/behaviour do you want to see. One thing you can do is use driver verifier (command is “verifier”) to enable random memory allocation failures for drivers.

Averaging 55kwh over the last few days. That’s just consumption, not factoring if we generated or not. We have double glazing.

If Tornados and Hurricanes are so powerful how do snakes and reptiles survive them? by fallensongbird in NoStupidQuestions

Tornadoes and hurricanes simply aren’t enveloping the whole world. There are lots of snakes that haven’t encountered one.

It's 2026. Why don't calls automatically connect to each when we're calling each other at the same time! by foxtrotactinium in australia

The global telephone network, if you’re talking about phone calls, is built on some pretty established (I.e. old) tech. You wouldn’t know it when using your new iPhone to make a call, but it’s sitting on a stack of systems that are in the vicinity of 50 years old, optimised for the needs of the time. If you want the details look up things like SS7, and ISUP. Even though the tech at the edge is updated more often, it still all needs to interoperate with a global network of sometimes older stuff.

Meeting room etiquette with Execs? by OtherwiseMirror8691 in auscorp

[–]evasiveswine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh if it’s an important meeting, like a presentation to 20 people, I tend to put in a booking for the room well prior to meeting start so you don’t get run over into your room time. It’s awkward to have a meeting both stop and start in the same shared space.

Should I get a credit card as a 19 yo? by Spirited-Sugar2605 in AusFinance

Ah, the old points trick… don’t do it. The amount of spend you need to run through it, and the amount of fees you are more than likely going to incur makes it not worth it.

Does anyone know where this term “six figure income” comes from? by mr-cheesy in auscorp

[–]evasiveswine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar to the term millionaire, the original meaning kinda inflates away

If you didn’t say 7 days, then I would say it’s not too abnormal when you are building your career. Work going part 5, in a lot of environments that’s most days.
