What game do you personally have the most hours played in?
Eve online, 11.6k hours. Much of that time was running multiple clients too. It's a young persons game, I no longer have the time.

I think it's the "don't be a dumbass" that's important, not the OS choice really. I haven't had a 3rd party virus scanner in at least a decade on Windows and have never had a virus or malware.

Very nice, I like the idea, but we've gotten in trouble at a few places for cleaning the gardens up and putting new plants to replace the dead ones. In the end we just focused on pot plants we could take with us.

I've looked at them a few times, but they never supported open banking, I'll have to look again if they've recently added it.

What shopping bags do you use now?
We got some Envirosax about 15 yrs ago from a company making them on the Gold Coast, we used them heaps when we moved to Sydney and walked everywhere, they roll up small and can carry a reasonable amount of items.

The new Sydney offices designed to make workers happy
Depends on the career, lots of programmer roles still allowing 100% wfh. I work for a Sydney company and live in Qld.

This wasn't a quick thing slapped together, a lot of thought, planning and consultation went into it. It's a really nice system, and so much better than the previous ways of aggregating financial data.

PwC tax scandal: firm engaged in a ‘calculated’ breach of trust, Senate committee finds
I hope they get penalties that far outweigh the profits they've made, wishful thinking I know, but surely one day we'll learn if the fine is less than the profits, why wouldn't companies do this sort of thing.

Any good indie games on steam? Can be any genre.
Vanguard Galaxy is a cool space sim, mine, salvage, run missions. Gives me offline Eve Online vibes. Amazingly cheap for the content it already has. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3471800/Vanguard_Galaxy/

That's a cool use for them, if we end up with a lot of them, I wonder if houses with the space could use them for cheap storage.

COVID didn't change internal migration in Australia as much as claimed, new ABS data show
That's really interesting, I would have never thought "ABS advised this large increase was mainly due to people updating their addresses with Medicare during mass vaccination rollouts"

Hehe, I started in 2009, got serious in 2012, begrudgingly hung up the keys in 2019. Then I just logged in to buy those Donate plex to charity things, I know I'm never going back. I've recently been playing Vanguard Galaxy, has a lot of the feeling I got from Eve, but in a casual package, might be of interest.

Shrinkflation: don’t want to upset customers with price rises? Just make your product smaller
I don't mind this, I'd prefer to get a little less than a price increase, but I'd like to be made aware of that. Not sure who or how would be best to notify customers though.
