Guess which of your competitors offer remote working and has a product that smokes you?

Haven’t touched VMware for years Hyper-V does everything I need.

Now with Azure I don’t even need to manage the virtualisation just use an arm template to spin something up in 2 secs. I know Azure compute uses something based off Hyper-V, haven’t really used AWS, does Amazon use technology from VMware for their virtualisation?

I think if they passed the legislation first as a trial and then if it went well put it through a referendum there would be more support.

I’m not saying he would but he could just force it through legislation now, with the greens support and independents support, Pocock is in ACT who was the only place to vote yes, I think they have enough to pass.

Sure it will go against the results of the referendum, or “the will of the people” but it will be a legal way to do it. I think if it went through legislation it would become like GST, deeply unpopular at the time but it just becomes fait accompli and noone would dare reverse it. Because once in noone wants the optics of being “the racist in the parliament” besides maybe ONP.

I hope you have that machine on a separate VLAN that’s completely firewalled, segregated from the rest of your network, with access to the internet but not the rest of your LAN.

Because if it does then other devices on your network would be potentially vulnerable.

I’ve worked with PC’s that are out of support and the company too tightarse to pay for windows updates. The LAN cable was unplugged and you could only access it by physically being on the PC, but it won’t work in your instance as you need the internet to play games.

It sure does. But if businesses haven’t panicked then a home user doesn’t need to.

Reviewing and redoing intune policies, deployments, software compatibility testing, driver deployment ,reconfiguring autopilot and testing through the rings is an absolute pain in the arse.

For personal deployments you can deploy within one day. No need to worry about any of the above. So if businesses aren’t worried yet neither should regular consumers.

Wow I hope you’re not doing your banking on that PC.

Looking at the CVE for windows 7 after January 2020 (end of support)

https://www.cvedetails.com/product/17153/Microsoft-Windows-7.html?vendor_id=26

Doesn’t look pretty. Many exploits to give attackers elevation of privileges (administrator to your PC), remote code execution etc.

These don’t require you to download “dodgy” software. It happens because parts of the windows source code isn’t coded to perfection (as with all software) and then the attackers exploit the code in a way not originally intended by Microsoft.

This risk is elevated when the operating system is out of support because different windows systems share the same code base, so when Microsoft releases security updates and CVE reports to the internet, attackers can read these and find out how to attack unpatched systems even if they did not know about the exploit beforehand.

So it’s imperative to apply the patches in a timely manner usually within 24-48 hours after release.

On a side note windows 7 isn’t out of support, Microsoft is still releasing patches for it along with XP. Many enterprises have to use these operating systems for compatibility with their software, they are getting the updates because they’re paying Microsoft millions of dollars for them. So are you saying that other users of windows 7 are wasting their millions of dollars for “overrated” security updates?

Windows 7? How are you getting your security updates?

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Windows 10 isn’t even close to end of support.

If enterprise users haven’t moved over then individual users don’t need to.

I will move over before support finishes but make no mistake that’ll be because I’m forced to due to security reasons and not because I want to.

My windows 10 enterprise has been running flawlessly.

For some unknown reason the parties are swapped in NSW.

For example LNP in NSW would bring in policies that the Labor party would bring in other states, whereas the opposite is true for NSW Labor.

NSW LNP had very good policies like the electric vehicle policy, electric vehicle charging grants, they are the party of infrastructure with the westconnex and metro projects up, Parramatta light rail.

Whereas Chris Minns and Labor I’d actually compare Minns with the onion eater of all people. Very good at cancelling projects because he didn’t think of it first and provides no policies or thoughts of his own.

Wanted to cancel the metro, whilst providing nothing in replacement (only saved because the project is too far to be cancelled), too scared to do anything in regards to housing policy, no pill testing is the latest one. Cancelled the ev grants. In fact I’m not sure of anything that they’ve done through their own policies since they came in. Hopefully an one term government because they seriously lack vision.

Actually for me it’s quite good. Get like 1/3 back from dental. Then a bit back from gym fees. Optical is another one I use regularly and I get a massage a year. And most importantly ambulance cover just in case.

Granted one or two of them I would have skipped if I wasn’t paying private health (optical and massage).

At the higher salaries if people didn’t want to pay the Medicare surcharge and having to buy junk policies they can funnel their discretionary income into investments, the costs of the investments can be negatively geared so you can earn for example a million dollars and only pay 90000 taxable income worth of tax (an extreme example I know). ASX, property, into the business etc. where you reduce your taxable income in exchange for gaining (investable) assets.

I like NSW governments policy. Highrise depends on infrastructure and not how far it is from the CBD. But it is still not good enough.

We have 220m+ in Parramatta which is 20km from CBD and from what I understand the application for it to be higher was denied because it was too close to the airport.

Macquarie Park, Rhodes are new suburbs with 150m+ (definition for a skyscraper). Many others are getting 100m+, Olympic Park, Liverpool etc.

So it is quite spread out already. Even places very far away from Sydney like Penrith, Rouse Hill, Edmondson Park and Leppington will be zoned for high rise.

But we need to overhaul the zoning laws for the missing middle. In Sydney Bankstown to Marrickville and Revesby to Turella should all be up for 100m towers or maximum allowed due to proximity to airport.

I’m not sure why Victoria is so strict - all the Victorians I know sit 10km/h under the speed limit because of this - it’s so easy to get into a bookable speed zone unintentionally there.

If you think about it a 2km/h leeway which increases to 3km/h over a certain speed I think either over 80km/h or 100km/h I’m not sure isn’t really sufficient.

So the reason for the higher speed tolerances in NSW is because the government doesn’t want to encourage speedo watchers which is bloody dangerous.

The fact that the speedos read under and the tolerances they give for example i did 125km/h on the speedo in 110km/h zone, GPS reads 117km/h or so. Then the margin of error brings it to 114km/h or so and the not publicised but roughly 10 percent leeway brings it down to 103km/h. But as a note it’s YMMV I can’t guarantee 100 percent with the leeway as I’m not a copper.

But to speed in NSW you have to be actively trying or just careless. And like I said that’s just with the cameras.

Highway patrol like I said only really pull over the excessive speeders, they really don’t bother for someone 10km/h over as they know someone will come along in 2 mins doing something like 20km-30km/h over. I see it regularly on the highway. If they pull over the 10km/h guy it cost them the 20-30km/h booking and also they have to reset which costs them more time.

But in Victoria they seem to like to book everyone. I’ve only been there once and apparently they’re notoriously known for doing that and being the only jurisdiction to have such strict rules.

Encourage young footballers and ship them off early to Europe to play (preferably England so they’re guaranteed English language skills). But many go into international skills in non english speaking countries and you can’t tell the difference.

And then hope they play for Australia. There’s no way we’ll ever match them in investment so might as well leverage their resources to train our players.

Why would you even need a digital ID? My digital driver’s licence works great, accepted everywhere I go already and I’ve not carried a wallet for more than a year.

Transport card - digital Credit card - digital Loyalty cards - digital Drivers licence and all types of permits - digital Private health and Medicare - digital

Which place demands a physical copy of anything thesedays and moreover since it’s working fine why do we need another

I see this as a way for the government to earn a quick dollar and de facto get into the housing market.

When the owner buys back the share I doubt it will be calculated at the price the person bought it for. It would be at the market price at the time of the buyback.

I guess it works both ways too? I can see someone buying the minimum 2 percent and if they get something like opal or mascot towers when they sell at a loss the government is the one that loses out. So I can see it as a way to transfer the risk to the government and live in a place without having to pay rent.

It’s Victoria they book you for 2-3km/h (after they factor in a ‘margin of error’.

In other states the police aren’t even interested until you reach 15-20km/h over. But that’s because they can’t be bothered to reset and potentially lose bigger fish.

I’ve been chased by NSW highway patrol back in the day for 20km/h but they never ended up pulling me over because I was sitting behind someone doing 30+ km/h.

The camera cars not sure what speed they start to trigger but I’ve never been snapped for under 10km/h or ever (I guess because the Speedo reads under)

I always thought his channel was really dummed down. I watched a video or two and then noped out of it. Wasn’t many if at all any tips from the so called tech tips site.

Oh and stating the obvious but he’s ‘sorry’ because he got caught.

In women’s rankings we actually do quite well, we’re 10th ahead of nations with a rich footballing culture such as Portugal, Italy, Belgium and Argentina. That’s why we’re talking about it. Our women can make the semi finals as we’ve shown here, our men have no chance.

Another thing is that this is the closest we’re getting to a world cup in Australia. That’s why the support is where it is now. Would the support be the same if it’s held in Europe or South America? I think half the people won’t wake up at whatever o’clock it is to watch the games.

Yes we have interest in football, after all it’s the most popular sport by far in the world. The Europeans and the South Americans can play well, so why can’t we? I think the answer is as simple as the tyranny of distance.

It’s way harder for players based here with family here to be able to go to a good academy because it’s half a world apart. The best coaches, the best facilities aren’t in Australia. We can’t get any of the European teams to come and play any consistent games here because it’s just too far besides the token pre season friendly if we’re lucky.

Yes a struggling league isn’t due to a lack of interest in football you’re right. There is interest. I would call it untapped potential. Yes it’s got the highest participation rate but somehow there’s a missing link to turn the participation rate to form a quality league (I wouldn’t say quality players because we do get them as I mentioned but they all just leave).

The A league has a player retention problem. And here’s the problem - two players get offers one from an A-league team and one from I would even say EFL championship team, where will the player go most of the time? It’s brain drain.

Like I said we need more than a world cup every 4 years, we need quality teams that people can go watch after work. That’s why the AFL and NRL is so popular. These players are around, the clubs are down the road. The stadium is down the road.

Back to the women’s football, only courtnee vine and clare hunt play in Australia. This is similar for mens. Otherwise we’ll have this conversation every 4 years where football falls off the radar for the general population.

Funny you mention him, but it was probably the best he could do. He had only one year in the premier league in his entire career. Until we see players that have the middle of their careers in a league it’s all moot.

Domestic leagues are important due to accessibility. You’re not going to have as much of a following if you can only watch it on tele at stupid o’clock.

That’s half the reason why the NRL and AFL are popular, you can go to a game after work. We are the best in Aussie rules because we’re practically the only country that plays it and similar to rugby league with the super league at a lower level to the NRL. We are the best of the best in those games.

Football? I would rate A league on the level of EFL league 2. Certainly not one of the top leagues in the world. People want to watch the best and their support is reduced by not being one of the best.

I see more people with EPL/La Liga etc shirts than local teams around town. That alone says something.

Not in a million years.

Noone aspires to play in the A-league. Until we get a league that gives the European leagues a run for the money this statement isn’t really true.

We can’t even beat the Chinese or Saudis in getting almost retired players over because we can’t match them. And also without youth development academies it’s just not going to work. Ask China and soon to be Saudi Arabia how splashing a wad of cash is going to work without spending money on grass roots development.

We just don’t have the local talent to be able to create a competitive league, the majority of us can’t play at a high standard and the very few that do understand that they need to ply their trade overseas to be successful.

Without a successful league the rest is moot, popularity is based on club games not an once every 4 years event.

Ok so she’s bilingual. But I still refute that she did much journalism. Sprouting propoganda and operating in a censored environment isn’t really journalism in my books. She had no editorial independence.

Edit: I think someone here put it better than me. She’s a propagandist not a journalist.
