Reminder to self: current setup of devices and networks will not reliably provide ‘WiFi-Calling’.
Perhaps some justification for getting a ‘new’ device less than a decade old… maybe even a late model?

Out again, but somewhat of an excuse (photo by Madison Fealy, via ABC). 69mm rain at home - but during the few hours I was away :-/

Be thankful you’re not driving a new car :-/ When I learned how in the ‘80s, wouldn’t use even radio in case of distraction- habit remained until a confident driver, and even little use then. Now, even after disabling (each drive) all the distractions that I can, there are still totally useless… 1/3

I remember a push during the 1990s for print media to identify ‘shopped photos. Anyone able to summarise why it failed back then?

Please #Don’tUseGenAI, but if anyone wants to preempt my doodling of a logo for cadaver dogs then please go ahead. I was imagining using bones as compass points, surrounding some dog silhouette, over either realistic human skeleton or X X eyes cartoon figure. Not associated with similar website.

Nearly 3 months ownership of new BYD Shark 6 PHEV, and I still get asked by strangers about it ~once per week. I used to list pros/cons, but now I just say I don’t recommend it. I have at least a hundred complaints that started as ‘observations’, but the company and dealer have been *so* bad at..

It’s been 25y since I had an electricity meter or bill, but took a look at the neighbour’s today, and sheesh! Origin Energy sure hates their customers, don’t they. ‘Smart meter’ is definitely a step backwards - in terms I expect most people would want. Paper bill seems deliberately hard to read.

I didn’t think the Optus Network Status page which has been horrible for decades would ever change - but they have somehow made it even worse.
Mobile signal has just returned - no indication on their website what the problem was, or even if they were aware of it.

Occasionally when I would switch off AC power at home, my LED bed lamp powered by 230VAC -> USB A ‘block’ would briefly flash every five seconds or so. Turns out new mobile phone when plugged into adjacent USB C socket provides power to it.
