Guess my aeroplane mode is never turning off now.

For the topic of the thread I'll throw in "toilets that are so bad at flushing that you need to keep a plunger next to them"

The only time I've owned a plunger was in a house with a broken clay sewer pipe that was about to kick the bucket.

+1. BinaryEye is far more reliable than the QR code reader in my camera.

It also has support for a large number of QRlike and barcode formats, and generation as mentioned.

I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were "good now". I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

I think this is the first time I've ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and...

I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a "new hardware" issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.

What have you heard? This is the first concern I've heard of Matrix that's not technical

"Easily" is definitely a stretch with the ones we were just given

I always thought the random button should lead to fascinating things, but it really shows how much of Wikipedia is just random dudes and small towns.

I don't think it shouldn't be that, but I wish there were some filters for random

He’s been caught out by inadequate laws that purported to shield him, but instead lured him into a situation where he and his family has suffered for seven years.

 

Guardian Economist Greg Jericho shows - with interactive graphs - how the RBA's interest rate policies have missed the mark and depressed Australian living standards in an unprecedented way.

 

former Queensland secretary Michael Ravbar – who’s been dismissed together with almost all other officials – said he would launch a challenge against the legislation passed last week to put the union into administration.

 

The decision by the National Anti-Corruption Commission not to investigate the six public servants over the Robodebt scandal appears to have been “infected by the bias of Commissioner Justice Paul Brereton and, if so, should now be disregarded”, says Stephen Charles AO KC, a former judge at the Victorian Court of Appeal and a former board member of the Centre of Public Integrity.
