@mcc Honestly, yes. It would be irresponsible to not exploit the situation and get a bill up for a vote right now giving all convicted felons across the US the right to vote. What Republican is going to dare to be seen as opposing Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s ability to vote?
Why are we still even having this conversation? When did the Liberal Party turn into an organisation of "alternative facts"?
And before I get a pile on from everyone, that's really not what the Liberal Party used to be. We may have disagreed with their position, but they were never like the Republicans or even One Nation or Clive Palmer who actually have sought out fringe views as "facts". #insiders#auspol
@joannejacobs Feels like it first got started with the group in the party opposed to action on climate change, then really got running as the opposition within the party to Turnbull coalesced around Morrison. #auspol
The fact that Google Search is leaning so hard into AI-generated results suggests that either Google leadership is out of touch with reality (possible), or that they have data that users prefer the AI-generated results (terrifying).
@jtlg I suspect they have data showing users click on AI-generated results, and they’re misinterpreting that as an absolute preference as opposed to a relative preference. That is to say, users have settled for AI-generated results because Google Search has been so bad at surfacing the useful content they would actually prefer, and/or they’re bouncing after clicking on a AI-generated result and seeing how bad it is rather than repeating a search they now see as futile.
Either retailers are way more desperate than I thought, or this company has made a hell of a typo in sending out this email!
(The amount also appears in the email subject, so that's 3 separate places with this figure.)
@delProfundo I managed to make a purchase (that I was already planning to make for a birthday), and they've not sent me any retraction, so we'll see how I go.
@delProfundo It'll be interesting what they offer as "compensation" to stop people taking it to the ACCC. It'd be harder to push it if it was a mistaken sale price, but the nature of this as a promotional offer might make it easier to enforce.
@delProfundo Just got the retraction email. I don't particularly like acting like a Karen, but considering they took 2 and a half hours to correct this error, I figure it's fair game.
Really not impressed with the current EOFY sale offers for tech products. Was hoping I'd be able to get myself a few decent discounts on the NAS I want to set up, plus a new SSD for the laptop, but nothing so far is catching my eye.
Speaking of the NAS.... what drives do people recommend for those these days? How are Toshiba N300s compared to the Seagate Ironwolf (Pro) and WD Red Pro?
So my plan with my current #VPN provider expires soon and I’m thinking of moving to #Proton. I like the idea of getting, as part of the plan, extras such as Proton mail - get some control and #privacy over my email accounts (away from Gmail). However, I am a little worried that if I create multiple email addresses I essentially lock myself into Proton’s paid plan… Losing email addresses would be an unnecessary nightmare to manage 🤔
Has anyone else switched to Proton to manage their VPN & emails?
@lwpembleton A little of column A and a little of column B. It’s possible to have an entirely anonymous account with Mullvad, buying code cards instead of paying them directly for an account, which I don’t think any other VPN offers. Does mean there’s no possible account recovery if you lose your login though.
