Congratulations! Welcome Douglas

Great show Pat. On the hospital impacts and the CrowdStrike event - having read both the Wired article and the academic paper behind it, I'd agree CrowdStrike's response is misguided and in my view missed the point of the research.

Yes, the physical proximity and the fact the quirk was fixed quickly (thank you!) means this one isn’t a major problem. And passkeys are a real improvement on other options, it’s just that I’m going to have a hard enough time with adoption, any hint they are “broken” will only make that harder

2/2 In my view the only material difference between retail ISPs here is the oversubscription rate. In theory they could differ on customer service - in practice the reports seem that they all suck

I have 100 down 50 up for $110 aud - that's on Telstra which I prefer for performance reasons, but you can get a similar service for ~$80 aud or less with other carriers. In Mel you'll have a range of retail ISP options. The underlaying fibre is all run by NBN (National Broadband Network) 1/2

I’m still focused on eating cheese, personally. I’ll leave the InfoSec predictions for next week when I’m back at work

I'm in Sydney so IKEA assembly is probably out, but happy to help with any tips on moving and setting up. My first tip: when renting a place double check what appliances are included - Oz rentals don't generally come with a fridge for example. Ask me how I found that out...

Congratulations!

Happy birthday!

Can confirm - if I get up in the night to pee this fuzzy weirdo will dash across the apartment to keep an eye on me

We have a couple of boxes for her - but this one is slightly smaller and the sides are a bit higher so she can really snuggle in
