This doesn’t surprise me given the land size of Australia , but $80 for 30mb down is horrendous (as you obviously know). Something like 20-30% of the US is similar where they just get poo poo internet speeds (or literally no internet options). Here the carriers take payouts from the Gov via the FCC to build out more internet and then just pocket the money instead. I would bet it’s similar in Australia. I have sold cell service in all 50 states, and I will tell you, it’s insanely depressing to see how many people have no access for internet so they have to pay $80-110 per 150GB of cell internet. 5G home internet is starting to help, but it A. Varies on area what the real speeds are and B. It takes a long drat time to rollout nationwide and surprise surprise those rural areas might not be what they target first.

Duckman2008 posted:This doesn’t surprise me given the land size of Australia , but $80 for 30mb down is horrendous (as you obviously know). In Australia about 12 years ago the government decided that ISPs were doing a poo poo job of providing internet (they were) so they decided that home internet infrastructure should become a government run monopoly and all the ISPs would essentially just become retailers selling access that they would buy wholesale from the government run corporation that would own and maintain the network. All the copper lines would be ripped out and replaced with fibre to the home, with maybe <10% of people who lived in truly remote areas getting satellite. The idea would be that everyone on fibre to the home would be able to have guaranteed preset Speed tiers - 8/1; 25/5; 50/20; and 100/40. Sadly in 2013 the right got into government; and they made some changes. The right hated the NBN because giving everyone fast internet was a threat to Rupert Murdoch’s precious cable tv monopoly (he also owns most of the papers). So they made some changes. They decided that it would be cheaper to just do fibre to the node and leave the 100+ year old copper lines in for the rest (spoiler: it wasn’t, because they cost a fortune to maintain) and they stacked the board of the NBN Co with business hacks and cronies who had no idea about the technical side of things. They also decided to allow a patchwork of ISP infrastructure to remain in place. The end result of this was that the project ended up costing many, many times what it was initially projected to cost, end user costs became crazy expensive, performance was poo poo and then you get people like me: I actually have fibre to the home; because my ISP replaced all the copper lines in my neighbourhood as part of a deal with the state government who wanted to demolish the old phone exchange to expand a hospital. They were originally supposed to act as wholesalers and let other ISPs have access to the network; and they were eventually supposed to sell the network to the NBN. What happened in practice is that with 11 years of the Right in government they were able to drag their feet on the sale, all the other ISPs pulled out over time, leaving my neighbourhood with a single ISP monopoly on a weird orphan network that was never built to the national standard and never had any money put into improving it. They’ve finally bowed to pressure to sell the network to another company with an actual good track record who will essentially bring it up to standard and properly integrate it at which point I’ll have actual ISP choice again, with faster speeds at a lower cost; but that is taking its time. And now the national network is replacing all the copper with fibre anyway like it should have done from the start.

Hey an iphone related observation. Just got an iPhone 13 from work, with a 5G subscription. They upgraded the equipment on the telecom tower 100 meters from my house a couple of months ago, so I figured I might have pretty good speeds in my kitchen. Did a speed test. Result: Wifi enabled, with 300 Mbps broadband subscription: 250-300 Mbps. Not bad. Wifi disabled: 760 Mbps.  Now, the only question is, what the hell does one use 700 Mbps for, on a phone?

Anyone with access to macOS can import a .plist into autocorrect that can bulk add swears for you. That then propagates via iCloud to your phone.

Now my phone has started auto capitalizing the word can but only if it’s the second word in a sentence after the letter I lol. I Can see how. (Example) How tf does that happen?

I have no idea why but my phone has decided that my partner's name will always default to lower case, even though they're in my contacts with a capital letter to start and I always go back and correct it when I forget to press shift before the first letter. Resetting the full keyboard settings to fix this seems like overkill but it's silly that you can't just force certain words out or in of its database.

I'm kidding, I think it's weird and dismissive when it happens too. Usually it's the other way around for me and it will capitalize words to be more like names. (eg Hope, but only after "i" and nothing else. It's so funny imo) They should probably do updates with famous people every now and again too, like Rishi Sunak, Kylian Mbappe and so on. mawarannahr fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Mar 21, 2023 |

Tbf we shouldn’t have to Google for it because it’s dumb. If the OS corrects a word and you go back and change it multiple times it should learn from that. It doesn’t seem like that should be such a hard thing to do.

I prefer using Apple Maps instead of Google or Waze, but you're correct that their speed trap alerts have been 100% wrong in my experience. When they say there's one ahead, I never see one, and I see them all the time when there was no warning. Would be nice if they could get some kind of data sharing agreement with Google/Waze for this info, but that'll never happen.

Waze "notify the community about a mobile speed trap" is illegal in multiple countries so every other mapping solution will just use the static speed trap data provided by tomtom or here(which is in turn provided by the local municipalities) to avoid legal disputes.

Seems odd they wouldn't pull speed traps either.
