To be honest, I still rate Youtube Premium - the bundle that includes Music and ad-free Youtube is just too good a deal, even with the price hike. Some of the alternatives may be a bit cheaper, but you end up paying more if you still want to hang onto ad-free YT.

Given you said budget isn't an issue, I'd personally still stick with YTM, but I haven't personally had any issues with its radio function, and while I don't listen to much Aussie stuff, I do have pretty esoteric tastes and it's generally pretty decent.

This is why I absolutely refuse to install Valorant (and now LoL) - I could somewhat understand if an anticheat refused to boot up the game in question if something triggered it, but it going massively outside of its scope and wantonly disabling or killing other processes is just nuts to me.

If I really hate front end, but still want a lot of the responsiveness of a SPA, I'd have to give ASP.NET Blazor a serious thought.

It's largely all back end driven, with the dynamic elements driven via webassembly that pretty much works like black magic.

Yeah I'm not a constitutional expert but I'm 90% sure this won't work. Like professor Twomey said, we elect individuals, not parties (which is what this basically is) - and what happens if they have a falling out, or disagree on a policy position?

You do you, but if you're reverting to binary to explain how simple it is to add values together, I think you've made a wrong turn somewhere.

Those are so easily commensurable! It's 1 and 59/64 obv.

I legit can't tell if this is sarcasm.

Did Labor learn nothing from the last time they were in government? This just seems like a rerun of the Rudd-era ETS legislation, no doubt along with blaming the Greens rather than the opposition when it fails to pass.

What's more interesting about the shutdown is how this might affect IoT devices that rely on 3G - e.g. Canberra's public transit system uses the Optus 3G network to enable its MyWay card system - once it goes down, what will that mean for commuters (especially given that Transport Canberra doesn't accept cash on buses since COVID).

Here's another example where trying to chase the live-service money train has just ended up with a subpar product that people abandon or avoid almost instantly.

Unfortunately I suspect the wrong lessons will be taken away from this as well - e.g. the console/PC gaming market is too fickle, etc.

Yeah I don't understand the premise of the headline either - unless it's supposed to be some slight on 'inner-city lefties', being the only ones who could possibly want an EV...

With GOG, you could theoretically download the offline installer, give that to someone else and then ask GOG support to remove BG3 from your account, and be fully abiding with the EULA conditions.

OK, this is one collab I definitely didn't see coming. What's the crossover between Porche owners and Overwatch players?
