It wasn’t space debris that struck a United Airlines plane—it was a weather balloon WindBorne says its balloons are compliant with all applicable airspace regulations.

Apparently a weather balloon: arstechnica.com/space/2025/1...

The ARM based machines are just next level. The 3 year old M2 Air I'm writing this on still feels stupid fast for what I need.

It's absolutely awesome. I've also done some work using Home Assistant to calculate CO2eq emissions from my grid imports so I can calculate my per kWh emissions. In the last 12 months I'm at about 57gCO2eq/kWh which is pretty good. (In SA, so grid is pretty clean, but still 1/3 grid).

It's about what they've been for the "spec you want" for a long time.

Welcome to the future Cormac!

I like that you're trying to make CyberSecurity sexy. Good effort.

Dude, it's better than 99.9% of us would do. Plus you found more about the owlet and a hollow!

It's kind of wild to think that Labor are the new conservatives - they're desperately trying to ensure nothing really changes. No changes to digging up fossil fuels, no change to helping the poor, no change to condemning evil. All about the status quo.

The Broken Hill example is so frustrating - all the components were there but no one built the "system" to use them.

Also makes the towns more resilient to other risks. There are places where they'll shutdown transmission during days of very high fire risk (usually middle of summer) so regional towns where this happens would still be able to operate.

Lobbying has the best ROI of anything a business can do, so quite a bit.

Yeah - but still cheaper and less publicity than fighting it in court.

Quote from their press release "The payment of a penalty specified in an infringement notice is not an admission of a contravention of the CDR rules."

Reform isn't about helping the environment, it's about making it easier to destroy it quietly.

I'm sorry, you can't run your AI datacenter entirely on illegal gas turbines unless you make sure the community gets some art and a new community arts centre.

Imagine if techbros needed "social license".

Glad to see you walking in whatever boots Anthony!

I didn't think it'd be as high as 49%!

Won't someone think of the help?

In a world where Labor's national policy is that cutting down native forrests is okay (thanks Forestry Union) I don't hold out a lot of hope things will change or even that gas extraction will pay a reasonable amount to the taxpayer.

Hear me out - what about splashing some baileys (or similar) in with the Caramellos? This doesn't have to be for kids.

And it's Sussan - two S because of numerology. So big science areas coming.

Undersizing transmission seems to be a feature of the current system. (eg. PEC should have been, what, 2x?).

Not as cheap as our politicians though. Look at the ROI Gas Lobbyists got.

It's great to see @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social continue as Minister. The continuity of someone who really cares about his portfolio is really important.

Haha. As if we can stop doing that.

I'd prefer to have Pocock on the floor keeping the rest in check.

Why did you need to bring that up today?
