How do judges normally treat destruction of evidence? Do they not care who committed the crime and just make a ruling on how to infer it? I feel like the court would want to know who has committed something as serious as this but I’m not sure of the actual process for it.

We want to make sure the increasing use of digital payments occurs in a way that helps promote greater competition, innovation and productivity across our entire economy.

If we are to take this stated goal at face value it would seem to be a good thing. Getting ahead of the curve before the tech giants find a way to turn these products against us.

The problem is a lot of Australian’s will not take this at face value especially in the current climate of the movement away from physical cash. It’s hard to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are doing this to protect the Australian people with the lack of any sort of harm or complaint. Feel free to point out if there’s something I’m not thinking about regarding this point.

Personally, this smells extremely fishy to me and the most likely explanation in my mind is that they want to kneecap the tech giants and allow our financial sector to push in this space. I can’t imagine CBA, ANZ, etc particularly enjoying their control over this space being eroded. They have every opportunity to innovate in the space but they’re clearly lacking the drive to do so. Instead of improving competition by forcing the big banks to step up, they’re knee capping actual innovation.

On new installs it does force you. I had to do it today (Windows 10). There are workaround such as attempting to log into a banned account, or other weird hacks involving disconnecting the internet and know the right combinations of hidden menus to navigate.

So much of our economy is export driven. Particularly to China and particularly coal. Sad.

Which model do you have? Mine doesn’t have a “home screen”. It turns on to the last used input. There is a bar that pops up from the bottom with all the apps on it and that opens when you turn it on. Honestly I didn’t realise how different the UI may be across different models.

I would have but I don’t want to tie my Lemmy account to my actual identity :/

It’s great to see the attempt and also an example of what the C4 guidelines are made to avoid.

Notice how many comments are little nitpicks about this and that. Completely stalling the commit and getting further away from the original point of C4 which is to reduce contributor friction and avoid these kind of endless discussions on PRs.

I don’t want to be too critical because some of that is a clear lack of understanding of the motivations of C4 which is explained more thoroughly in Pieter’s blog posts. You don’t want to adopt a contributor guidelines that you don’t understand of course.

IMO it’s better just to implement it as-is and start using it in practice rather than bikeshedding.

Best practices for minimizing complexity:

1. Try out “stacking”
2. Simplify software design

I didn’t say there wasn’t information in there but the above paraphrased quote goes to the heart of what my comment was about.

Firstly, how is purchasing their product considered a “best practice”? It’s not generally accepted or the standard superior option by any stretch of the imagination.

Secondly, the option they give to minimizing complexity is to simplify your software design. Ignoring a couple problems with this statement, if they’re being honest this should be above the recommendation to “try out stacking”.

It doesn’t have to be that deep. You can give it a quick read and take from it what you will, but it is an ad for their product more so than it is an article that contains broadly useful information. They have every right to do so and maybe their product really is tremendously great but I’m just calling it how I see it.

Ah yes, the classic Australian tribal war dance

New Zealand is technically part of Australia anyway (when you have something we want to claim).

That’s truly as lightweight as you’re going to get. Cool little script.

If you like Heimdall you could run it without Docker. It’s a PHP app, you could run nginx and it would be pretty lightweight.

1. Yes this is a big deal. Some important apps are missing. While I’m not in an area that has ESPN I have noticed the lack of CrunchyRoll.

2. I can’t even get cast support because my TV has MiraCast and AirPlay but my fucking Pixel doesn’t support either, only ChromeCast.

3. I used to have a pi-hole setup working properly with the TV, i.e., blocking tracking but keeping functionality.

Real issues and definitely not perfect but when I’ve used other TVs it’s the every action that is unbearable for me. Using a TV without a magic remote just seems obsolete and especially on the Android based TVs there’s sooo much lag.

I wish I could do this but I don’t have a Windows OS. I wish it had ChromeCast built in because fucking Pixel doesn’t even support MiraCast!

It’s strange because I’ve never had an issue with the app order changing. It’s consistently worked for me since I bought the TV. It’s an older C8 but still works perfectly well.

My personal experience has been the opposite. I have a C8 so maybe the software is different but I’ve found the settings to be decent, the remote to be far and away the best (magic remote) as you can use it like a mouse. Especially when you have to input something, rather than furiously mashing directional buttons to navigate the keyboard you just point and click. All the apps I use work great. The UI is responsive especially compared to the typical TV that runs Android which just feels like a massive lagfest. The software store does suck! Luckily I rarely use it after the initial setup. You can put apps in whatever order you want and quickly switch between them.

I don’t think Twitter ever even had ad revenue that high right?

What’s silicon valley’s favourite saying? Move fast and…make things safer? Close enough.

There’s a number of them as the idea grows. See also the C4 process RFC

I find LG TVs to have the best user experience. If you care you would want to look into a pi-hole to stop all the usual phoning home activities.
