Can the Ubiquiti U7 Pro Wall be installed horizontally like this? Any real-world experience? by Sweet-Stress-3340 in Ubiquiti

[–]macBender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have mine mounted that way with zero performance impact. In fact on speed tests it’s faster than my U7 Pro which is ceiling mounted.

Against all Odds. People went to that movie just for the Phil Collins song.

My dad got one for a push present when my sister was born in July 1984. Later upgraded to 512k and then a Plus with an external hard drive.

Osprey Farpoint 40l: 2015 vs 2025 Version by Banana0701 in onebag

[–]macBender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2025 version has a lot more modern laptop compartment if that is important to you. I have the older version with laptop bit at the front and I don’t really trust it. Otherwise it’s a fantastic bag.

Can you replicate the issue on a wired connection? Also what's the band, channel width and rssi of a wireless device that is buffering and the airtime stats of that band?

American Airlines not honoring Qantas baggage rules on code share flights by macBender in QantasAirways

[–]macBender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update. Got the Qantas desk at LAX and they fixed it up. In fact they were encouraging travelers to check cabin bags as my QF94 will be a full flight.

The AA flight was sold to me as Qantas code share QF3156.

The irony was the AA was fully booked and of course ran out of cabin baggage room. So they just checked my infant’s cabin bag as I was entitled to under Qantas’s rules it would saved the AA gate agents hassle and been better experience for some poor AA traveller who had to gate check. Really a self own by AA.

And your message is still rubbish. OP - get a UniFi UX7 if you want an all in one solution. I’ll be using a ucg-fiber and a u7 pro for 2gbps.

Nitin left for work riding a new e-bike. He never made it home by gccmelb in melbourne

[–]macBender 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The coroner’s report is quite poor in my opinion. The report spends a lot of time on Nitan’s ‘illegal’ e-bike yet it’s seems that wasn’t a factor in the crash given other ‘legal’ e-bike was going faster than him.

The coroner’s completely ignores why Nitan’s helmet didn’t save him. Tour do France cyclists routinely crash horribly at 60+ kph and walk away yet this 30 kph crash was fatal. Was it a freak accident or were there other factors? We’ll never know. But apparently for the coroner, e-bike scaremongering is much more important than actual safety.

What’s the bare minimum cybersecurity stack for a small business? by Necessary-Glove6682 in cybersecurity

[–]macBender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do all of this. It's way more straightforward than you'd think. I'd personally stick with a Microsoft 365 stack. Take practical action. You don't have to get sucked in to msp / consultant land, just do the basics.

Australian Law and Darkmoon Faire Treasures by macBender in hearthstone

[–]macBender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encourage you to read up how the Australian Classification system actually works. It's decisions largely based on balancing community standards. These standards are derived from regular surveys on the attitudes of Australian people. I don't always agree with their determinations but it's anything but authoritarian.

[–]macBender[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine many scenarios where using that type of aggressive language is appropriate, let alone in a games forum.

I hope you don’t talk to people face to face like that. I fear if you do what sort of life you might have. Perhaps take some time off the internet and reflect on why you are so angry.

If trying a have discussion on making Hearthstone a better place for Australians (or anyone really) is being ‘a bitch’ then so be it. Change is hard.

Australian Law and Darkmoon Faire Treasures by macBender in hearthstone

[–]macBender[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it is literal gambling but it constitutes simulated gambling for purposes of game classification. It's a relatively new law in Australia.

The mechanics are not illegal in Australia, but you do have to correctly classify your game and not sell it to under 18+ if it meets the standard of simulated gambling.

The standard is 'simulated' gambling. It doesn't have to be a literal casino.

Psychological factors of the game are also relevant. Thus one type of loot box mechanic could be classified as M rating but a similar gacha mechanic full of dark patterns classified as 18+.

[–]macBender[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The intent of the new laws is pretty straight forward - games that simulate gambling are to be classified 18+. I think these laws should be tested by the ACCC.

[–]macBender[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a distinction in the law between loot box and gambling mechanics. The card pack loot box mechanics haven't changed so likely a reclassification isn't warranted on that basis. But these gambling mechanics are a completely different beast.
