UHT milk.

I bought a uv tooth brush sterilizer. Not sure if it’s doing anything useful but it’s a colourful addition to the bathroom.

Hard to beat for working with dying drives, although it’s a bit tricky to get it to just do used data areas instead of the whole drive.

Is that because it indexes the contents of files? (or pretends to.)

Naah. Propellers!

But Raygun did a great break dancing set in the Olympics.

As a Libran, all I can launch are tampons.

Pretty old video now but it explains why you smoke and helps to stop.

Probably safer to use qbittorrent’s built in search to find it.

At last, a reply that understands the difference between heat pumps vs resistive heating.

The Internet got ruined when Facebook normalized/enforced using your real identity online.

They now encourage fake accounts. Has made moderating groups somewhat harder.

This tower has about a 20km radius on average due to topography, covers a stretch of the New England Highway and also covers the nearby village of Black Mountain. A good few hundred phones will be in range I expect.

The tower also has cells for Optus and Vodafone, but they are a significant minority of customers in this area.

Well, they do break guitars…

For cell / mobile phones, you’re sharing the capacity of the cell among multiple people.

In this example, a rural cell tower can provide up to 395Mbps.

It would only take 40 people watching Kayo at high definition (or any high definition video service) via their phone or a 4G router to saturate this tower.

For everyone else at this time, it’ll still work but even though they might have a strong radio signal (lots of bars), the internet will become slow.

Limiting monthly usage, or charging more for more data per month, reduces the risk of saturation.

The crappy one in my Motorola g84, and anything fairly close with good lighting.

I do have a second generation Sony Mavica though - one that takes floppy disks.

On thermostats it’s the difference between the off and on temperatures - like if you set it to 24 degrees, you could have a hysteresis of 1 degree, meaning it’ll turn on again at 23 degrees. (Or something like that.)

Yes. We get hints of this now and then when digital TV breaks up and only the moving parts are updating until the next key frame arrives.

A bit like Motorola phones killing messenger e even if you tell them not to, or losing photos if you press home too soon after a night shot.

But I’m only seeing *******. I guess that’s because it’s your password not mine.

Figuring out which usb device went on holiday.

Well, Outlook Express was pretty good at the time.
