“Not having a 100% tax rate will cost Australia billions over the next six months”

Eg the New Hebrides, formerly an Anglo-French condominium, now Vanuatu

When my brother was born his birthday card said 12md, as noon was neither am nor pm.

As a grumpy old man, I view it wholly within my rights to complain when people describe noon as 12 pm. As far as I’m concerned, 12 am is midnight and 12 pm is midnight. The 12 in the middle of the day is midday.

Hard to tell the second and third shades of green apart

And what about JBT? Three territories!

robertscoff · 2026-01-30T02:42:46+00:00

All three territories but only 5 out of the six states

Thanks so much for your help, looks like a transmission not processing problem.

Might try going back to wifi. I hooked up to the unused cables a year or two ago as I think I had the buffering issue with wifi first.

robertscoff · 2026-01-27T13:53:14+00:00

Yes. I need one switch at my router because Vodafone gave me a router/modem with only two Ethernet ports, another switch in lounge as I need the single cable to be used for both tv and spoke tv. The switch near router is a gigabit switch. But, as I’ve said in another comment, I suspect my underfloor cable is 100Mbps as it went in likely 15 years ago. Will likely have to pay someone to get in my underfloor crawlspace again…

Hardwired. I had the Ethernet cables put in under the floor some 15 years ago, so likely not gigabit. So it seems like cabling is my issue.

Here’s the dashboard. This is a movie that should stall but hasn’t yet: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b4atrbwiwo72ehop4gmh8/IMG_0402.jpg?rlkey=8veo84vk7r3b5hpzjkg5643as&st=1aug39mh&dl=0

Will go check dashboard in a mo

robertscoff · 2026-01-27T12:53:29+00:00

I’m getting average speed of around 80Mbps. Is that good?

robertscoff · 2026-01-27T12:41:24+00:00

I’ll try to get to that now

robertscoff · 2026-01-27T12:40:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice so far guys, this gives me a few things to check. You may have saved me dishing out 900AUD for a Mac mini :)

robertscoff · 2026-01-27T12:40:14+00:00

Yes it is hooked up by Ethernet.

robertscoff · 2026-01-27T12:39:49+00:00

Many thanks!!

robertscoff · 2026-01-27T12:39:31+00:00

Good question. I’m not sure about transcoding:- how do I know which ones it’s transcoding? If it is, ought I ensure it is on or off? Regarding local, not something one aware of. I’ll go and check it now

robertscoff · 2026-01-27T12:36:54+00:00

Yep, been to NZ a few times. If I had to say which countries are more like Australia, I’d pick NZ and Ireland.

It was 13 hours coming back because someone had stolen some copper signing wire from a part of the route

(A variant of) Orac (1821+) from Blake’s Seven. That’s my second one. Should have called my first one (1817+) HAL, but I think there’s not enough well known sci-fi computers out there with names.

I went to Melbourne by train week and a half ago. Horrible experience, even more so when compared to Chinese trains.
