This is really good to hear. The worst thing about mid range android phones is the lack of future software support. Even flagship androids aren’t anything to write home about. As much as people like shitting on apple, they support their devices for quite a while compared to other manufacturers.

Do you want a zombie apocalypse? Because this is how you get a zombie apocalypse.

Did anyone else think this was a headline from The Onion?

I’m sure their coverage will be fair and balanced. No doubt this channel will be available on Freeview in regional areas. Honestly just sad and desperate.

Barbie still can't decide what to do with those annoying bangs.

This royal commission is a prime example that ALP and the coalition are not the same. That phrase is just propaganda pushed by corrupt politicians (predominantly Libs/Nat) to justify and deflect their own actions.

Your work is good from far…..but far from good.

Weak

Believe it or not, some people aren’t big on over consumption and want things to last. Companies should do better and not produce crap that’s going to end up in landfill in a few years.

Good explanation. Even if their long term support doesn’t work out it’s nice to see a trend towards long term support and reduction of e-waste.

Im speaking anecdotally, but as a law abiding citizen, none of my interactions with NSW police have been a positive experience. I would imagine individuals from other social/cultural backgrounds experience far worse treatment. IMO NSW police either needs a massive cultural shift (unlikely) or needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

Funny that the party of “common sense” and “fiscal responsibility” pushes for technology that either doesn’t exist yet or isn’t economically viable.

I believe someone else in this thread has mentioned this already, For most people the feature set on phones has been stagnant for many years. Most users have their use case met already and additional features are really just bloat (for the most part). Not all people are into tech, and a phone is simply a tool. And therefore don’t always want/need the latest and greatest.

My advice would be to find a good mortgage broker. They guide you through the process and can apply to multiple lenders simultaneously. Once you are pre approved you can start shopping. If you make an offer that is accepted on property you will need to engage the services of a conveyancer to sort property handover. Lots of paperwork to sign and from personal experiences it rarely goes smoothly. I would also advice engaging the services of a building/pest inspector prior to handover.

A broker will cost you nothing as your lender will pay them once the loan is established. Another advantage of a broker is a couple of years down the track you can ask them to find you a better interest rate with minimal fuss. As for legal cost I’m not 100% what the going rate is these days. I would expect somewhere between $500-$2000. As the above comment said, a good legal firm is probably not going to be the cheapest. Definitely worth paying for expertise. It’s a small cost in the grand scheme.

I consider obsidian a knowledge base, rather than a note taking app. I use both apple notes and obsidian for different purposes.

Yeah, if their trolley fleet was due for an upgrade perhaps it would make sense. I do wonder how durable the plastic trolleys are long term being mistreated and left out in the elements.

I don’t think it’s a culture war bullshit to point out one party is systemically corrupt compared to the other, it’s just the reality. Fact is not all MPs and public servants are corrupt. The majority do the right thing and want to serve the public. To say they are all the same is just plain, flat out ignorant. I do hope those responsible are held to account. I hope this will give at least some closure to the victims. Give it time the report was only just released.

In my experience having both is ideal. Laptop for getting any real work done (essays, presentations research etc). iPad is ideal for note taking and digital textbooks. If I could only pick one, laptop.

Some of my favourite apps:

1. Voyager - Apollo like web app for Lemmy.

2. Bitwarden - Password manager, I prefer this over keychain as it is accessible on all devices.

3. 2FAS Authenticator - Authenticator app with a handy browser extension.

4. Firefox Focus - Privacy browser as well as an ad blocker that integrates with Safari.

5. FileBrowser - Handy for accessing cloud or samba storage not supported by the iOS files app. Has some other cool features too.

6. Mobius Sync - Syncthing for iOS devices.

7. OnlyOffice - Good Google docs alternative, makes it convenient to quickly access and edit a document/spreadsheet on mobile.

8. Voice Dream - One of my favourite apps. May be special use case, but great app to read and listen to books and other documents.

9. Obsidian - Knowledge base. May be special use case again, but as a student I can’t properly function without it.

10. HereWeGo Maps - Good offline alternative/backup to Apple Maps.
