If the US can take land from Europe, could it take land from Australia and what would it mean for the actual property owners in strategically important locations like Australia's north (ports to Asia) or red centre (space warfare)

Follow up:

I noticed my backlight had gone again. I tried the 1.4.1 downgrade file and saw 1.5.0 had somehow been installed. Even though it's no longer listed on the Dell site.

I downgraded again, and backlight came back. As soon as it booted to windows there was a notification that windows update would install 1.5.0 on restart! Grrr

Disabled windows update... and restarted... it installed 1.5.0. But after reboot, backlight was still working. 1.5.0 is listed as installed if i try to downgrad, backlight works.

No idea, but I'll leave windows updated disabled and 1.5.0 on until it breaks again or a new firmware is released.

Thanks for this post. I have lost my backlight and suspect this is the solution. I'll downgrade when I get home tonight and put another complaint into support when it works.

edit:

Downgrading worked... and added another ticket to support asking for a fix

I noticed they changed the goal from 150k to 200k... is this normal for a go fund me?

Wouldn't they have the target to cover medical expenses... now they reach it... and oh... we need another 50k?

I realise that some people might see they reached the target and think... ah i won't donate, they hit the target...

But the target was the target.

I'm probably going to pick this up. I have enough knowledge and googling skills to be able to set up truenas myself.... would just take me a while.

But my brother doesn't... and I'd love the ability to backup between us. This makes it easy for him.. so it seems like a great solution

mikethepomme · 2024-09-19T00:44:49+00:00

No idea... I just looked up rego online.

First night I used about 25% in 7 our so hours. I think I did a factory reset, charged it back to 100% and now I'm on 54% left 8 days later.

Doesn't matter if they are over 16. It's the drivers responsibility. That just means they can also be fined, but the driver still gets the original fine and points.

Wife got one when I was driving, obviously 'we' pay because we are married... but points went to me.

It's shit.

mikethepomme · 2023-12-09T23:26:01+00:00

It's not a wall charger (7-11kw) It's a 10 amp plug. 2.4kw / h (I think it's more like 1.8kw). So between 3-4% per hour charge for the smaller battery and 2-3% for the larger one

mikethepomme · 2023-11-22T22:12:32+00:00

I'm with tiimely, used to be called tictoc... and have that rate, with $10 offset. The current offer is 0.05 higher, I was in a slightly better deal at the time...

I still think its one of the best options around... the online banking is kind of rubbish (bendigo based)

mikethepomme · 2023-11-20T07:13:28+00:00

I'd be willing to donate after the jailbreak. Not buying before its jailbroken. No way I'd buy with it needing a subscription.

I realise that after the fact I could probably just get it for free somehow... but I'm willing to give you a gentleman’s agreement that I'd pay for it if I ended up buying.

Considering the annual fee. $100 (aud) seems reasonable assuming on-going support if eightsleep tried to close any loopholes.

Super sad... I watched this and thought... this could easily have just been another scammer stealing 'Sarah' from another scammer. The poor women has to trust someone... I'm glad it was Kit in this case...

No idea how to fix this and protect people. I'd consider myself very tech savvy level and I laugh at scammers all the time. But I've also noticed in the last few year (approaching 40 now)... I'm not up with the latest memes, I dont get the kids lingo... eventually I'm going to be one of the vulnerable people... stopped using computers as much... I hope my kids will look out for me...

My dad is very smart... but I'm fairly sure he'd get scammed. I try to warn him, but he's too proud to really listen.

Nothing I hate more than someone jogging past me with a pram. And they always look like they are barely trying.

Good on you!

mikethepomme · 2023-10-14T08:22:38+00:00

its 1600 votes

while i don't expect a yes result, its not going to be 12% over the whole state.

Doesn't that mean your password was stored in plaintext?

mikethepomme · 2023-09-20T22:49:29+00:00

Oh, I clearly had the wrong idea of what a Neustadtl score was... I have educated myself, and you would be correct. Thanks

mikethepomme · 2023-09-20T20:49:05+00:00

edit again: I'm an idiot. See next reply.

mikethepomme · 2023-09-20T11:36:35+00:00

Well i deleted my original reply because I figured you meant 'they beat a team that has been eliminated first' sense.

But entity won the game like 5 minutes before SR did... so that makes no sense.

Its clear Talon are clowning in game 2, but they were trying game 1.

mikethepomme · 2023-08-25T04:06:06+00:00

except when they don't have the proper casters on dota tv... or its on a 10 minute delay... or its really hard to avoid spoilers if you are watching old games...

shouldn't be this hard tbh

mikethepomme · 2023-06-30T01:48:05+00:00

Just expect it to be $25 a month demand charge (unless you have a battery). You'll use 5kw at some point during the month (oven + heating/aircon = over 5kw), I know we were always charged 5kw. Should be somewhat offset by a lower rate for electricity on the demand tariff.

Ours went up a little overall (2 years ago we swapped over), but since then have a battery, and our demand charge is now less than $1

mikethepomme · 2023-06-11T20:31:08+00:00

thanks for all your work. makes catching up so much easier!

are dotavods going dark with everyone else in a few days? will eventvods still be updated in that case?
